TRADE WTTH ARGENTlN \.

Robert 5. Barrett stationed at Bucnos Aires, Argentine Republic, ;ls United States Commercial Attuchc, believes that America will continue to provide Argentina with most of it's imported goods for the next few years. The South American republic has absorbed North mcrican goods on a largo scale since the beginning of ;he World War and her imports from this country during 1917 were valued at $133, ,949 in United States curren- cy. Our nearest competitor was Great Britain, which shipped goods to the value of $SO,O8O,332, an imposing and impressive amount when Eng lands condition since 1914 is cousid- cred.
 Optimistic reports como from MT. Barrett through the commerce report for April issued by tho Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, De- partmcnt Of Commerce, at Washing ton. Writing of the imm cdiatc fu- turc, Mr. Barrett says:
 A study of market conditions
 and methods in Argentina has
 convinced mo that so far as this
 particular country is concerned
 American trade will continue for
 many years to hold it's own; and
 that while perhaps it's percentage
 of the total imports into Argen-
 tina may not be so large as it has
 been in the past four years, dur
 ing which tho competition from
 European countries vas greatly
 affected by the war, tho value CT
 it's exports to Argentina Wll ''c
 larger in the next few years man
 ever before.
 Among the articles the United Statcs will be called upon to supply, Mir. Barrett cnumcrates iron and steel, lumber, petroleum products, macnin- cry, furniture, boots and shoes, ce mont, automobiles, office supplies anu spcclalties.
 It was once said that the manu- ia acturcrs in the United States did not get their share of trade in Central and South America because they made no effort to please their potential GUS toners. That day has passed. Real izing tho golden opportunity at hand, our, manufacturers have studied the i tastes and desires of the millions liv ing south of us, arc willing to cStcnd longer credits, arc establishing branch houses and arc showing more cordial ity to representatives of buyers who have opened offices in this country. Argentine is a rich nation. It's people, in temperament and business lcut4- ness, arc moro like Us than any others in the western hemisphere. We should be the best of friends With thcec Yankees of South America.

MARTIN CRITICIZED
 BY DIR. E. T. FROMEN
School Commissioner Hcscnts Re marks and Says Other Physician
 Had "LapSc of Memory"

Dr. Ernst T. Fromcn, school com missioner, this morning criticized pr. John l.. Martin who recently came into the limclight bX attacking the school board for the method employ cd in selecting committees. Dr. Fro mon indignantly declared that Dr. Martin wus greatly mistaken when nc stated that the sanitation committed of which he (Dr. Fromcn) is chai'- man has met but twice during the past six years and then only for ten minutes on tho street corner. Dr. Fro mon cmphatically declared that the sanitation committee had convened on various occasions and has performed cd important work. That pr. Martin was unaware of the sessi ons of tho com mittCc, was his own fault, said pr. FrOmen
 ''AS a mater of fact" continued pr. FrOmCn, the sanitation committee had to meet more than twice during the past six years. Tho appointment of the two medical officers, which has been done during this time required moro than two sessions. report of the work done by the sanitation com mittcc has been rendered regularly. The only reason l can account for such statement on the part of Dr.. Martin is a lapse of memory
 Comment was expressed at the Spc- cial meeting of the school board held yesterday afternoon over the failure of Dr. Martin to be present. When asked by a reporter whether or not lie had received notice that special meeting was to be held, Dr. Martin replied in the affirmative, but that he did not intend to be present. The req son, he added, was because the school committee failed to make out the mo- tice correctly When a special meet ing is caled, pr. Martin said, the req son for tho session should be stated in the letter. >~.. ... ..-..
