ARGENTINA'S COMMERCE
HIT BY SOCIAL DISQUIET
Large Trade Balance Is Shown,
However, Despite Labor
Trouble Handicap.

BUENOS AIRES. November 25 (Cor-
respondence of the Associated Press)
"A falling,on in Argentina's foreign
commerce during the first quarter of
1919. as revealed by the report of
the director general of national sta
tistics to the finance minister. is at
tributed by business interests to the
ia Dor troubles and social dsquiet
which prevailed in the country during
that period.
1t is held that a decline of nearly
50.00O.000 pesos gold in the value of
the exports. compared with the first
quarter of 1918. was at least partially
due to the port strike in Buenos
Aires. There was also falling off
in the tonnage of imports. although
an increase in real values" of 12,-
100000 pesos.
Satisfaction is expressed that not
withstanding these handicaps. the re-
port shows a trade balance of more
than 6O.000.000 pesos in favor of Ar
gentina. There has been a marked
increase in exports during the last
'wo or three months. and it is .ex-
pected here that the loss for the first

1t is now proposed to set apart the
week of January 17-24 of the year
1920 as national thrift week. Active
propaganda for this is being made by
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton.
1t is a realization of the fact that
thrift is the backbone of national
prosperity.
Thrift is intelligence applied to
money.
And money represents as near as
any material thing can. the fruits of
life and energy
Money is stored up life.
Whoever wastes it, wastes life.
Thrift faces three ways: it means
common sense applied not only to the
saving. but to the earning and to the

PARIS, April 2i.I7The highly critical
aspect OF the deliberations of the Big
Four during the last few days may be
realized from the fact that twice during
last week Marshal Foch threatened to
resign unless the Rhine was recognized
as the WESTERN frontier OF Germany.
The attitude of the Generalisslno
surprises nobody who is acquainted
with his military theories. His recent
interview emphasizing the strates ic
value of the river was not permitted
to appear in the Paris edition of the
Daily Mail (The interview was pub
lshed in THE SUN on Sunday)
The problem of the conference is COM
pllcated by the fact that Premier Or
lando Is supporting the French demands,
thereby getting Premier Clemenceau's
support for his Fiume claims. President
Wilson thus is placed in the position
OF having to yield ground on one OF the
points so as TO gain the other.

The question is. Will the Germans
go that far? Will they call on the
Bolshcvik hordes to help them in an
attempt to reduce Europe to ruins
rather than submit to the loss of some
of their coal mines?
Allied military men have no doubt
of their ability to sweep through Ger
many from the Rhine TO the Vistula
without serious opposition, while at
the same time the allied and asso-
clated fleets could land men on the
German coasts at will and that. with
such assistance as the Poles and the
Russians could give them. they could
then do what Napoleon failed TO do
conquer Russia. From military
standpoint this would be an enormous
task, but all are agreed that it could
be done.
The Germans know this. The ques-
ton Is, VIII they risk the effort re-

FINALLY in October the Kaiser. be-

torpedoed March "a, 1916.

asked Dr. Won JaGow for some of the
details concerning it. He continued:
The memorandum, which was ad-
dressed TO Ambassador Gerard, was
conceived in about the following
terms:
