British aviation interests are show
Ing considerable activity in South Amer

America where companies of British
origin have not made preliminary inves-
LEGATIONS In connection with establishing
aviation stations or factories. During
the late months Of the war a member of
a British company made tour through

The British have also made proposals

IN Uruguay. Colombia, Peru and ven-

The latest country. however, to re-

companies Is Chile. The Government

the construction of an airplane factory

villanueva's Election as
Fice-President Hailed as
Dawn of New Era.

Efforts to Prevent Filling
- High Office.

BUENos AYREs, Sept. THE recent
victory of the Conservative party over
the Radicals In tho election of a Con-
sentative to the post of Vice President
Is viewed with significance by tho
newspapers and political leaders of
this country.
The election which resulted in the vic
tory Of Senator Villanueva in the Senate,
where the success was scored, was one of
the most sensational in the history OF the
republic.
The Radicals made every effort to
postpone the election until after mid
night. August 81, when the time in which
the Senate could elect a Vice-President
to I'LL the vacancy caused by the death
OK the Vice President a few weeks pre-
viously would expire.
Not to be outwitted, however, the Con-
servative members rounded up all their
strength and even despatched special
train to the country to bring back Sena-
tor Patron, who was on his farm rest
ing, SO that he might vote and complete
the required number of members present.
The Conservative moves succeeded, and
the election of Senator Villanueva fol-
lowed.
The newspapers here declare that the
victory was the most significant politi-
cal event in this country in many years
because, they state, it has broken the
backbone of the Radical strength and
reflects on the administration of Presi-
dent Irigoyen, who is a pronounced Radi-
cal. The more conservative element
view the victory in the light OF new
era for the country and expect that from
now on measures favoring all sides will
come from the Radical element still in
authority.

AsUNc1oN, Sept. 2 (delayed) With
the acceptance by Paraguay Of the In
vitation to join in with Brazil, Uruguay
and Argentina in a convention to be
called to pass uniform immigration laws
it is believed in Government circles that
all the countries on the Atlantic side OF
the continent will unite in regulating
immigration that threatens to involve
the invasion of millions of foreigners
from Europe.
The note of the Minister of Paraguay
in answer to the invitation states that
the plan for a convention is important
for South America in view Of the i'm
pending immigration to the continent.
Although immigration to Paraguay is
not as pronounced as to Brazil, Uruguay
and Argentina there are thousands
nevertheless who come to this country
from the mentioned countries and 1t is
equally necessary therefore that Para
quay join in with her neighboring re-
publics to regulate the peaceful immi-
grafton of strangers and to keep out OF

sirables who may come here looking for
trouble.
