ARGENTINE TRADE
 WILL BE HEAVY FOR
 MANY YEARS HENCE
Returning American At tache Tells Why Our Prod ucts Will Continue in
 Heavy Demand
Rx Assoniateh Pres,

Washington, April 2-"A study of mar ket conditions and methods in Argentina has convinced me that, so far as this particular country is concerned, Amerl- can trade will continue for many years to hold its own,' Robert s. Barrett, com mercial attache to the United States em- bassy in Buenos Aires,-declared today lh a report to the bureau of foreign and do- nestle commerce. q
 In answering the most pertinent ques- ton" now in the minds of business men of the United States-whether this coun- try can retain the commercial prestlSe gained during the war-Mr. Barrett founc numerous reasons for optimism. He said firms in the United States were coming to a better understanding of their South American trade because they were study ing it's needs. Increased credit tac1litles are beinlg arranged and closer relations achieved by the establishment of brancn houses in Latin-America and buying o1- fices fin the United States.
 He warned, however, that competitive freight rates, trained men, absolute honesty and investment in South Amer ican securities, were necessary to main tain the position which United states goods now held in the countries to the south of the equator
 "While perhaps the United tSates' per centage of the total imports into Argen- tina may not De so large as IL HdS pcSh III the past four years, during which com petition from European countries was greatly affected by the war, the value oi its exports to Argentina will be larger in the next few years than ever before. MT. Barrett said.
 Tt cannot be expected that the United States will continue to supply Argentina with the greater part of it's imports or cotton and woolen goods. glassware chinawaie, drugs, heavy chemicals, caro- board and certain raw materials, when normal conditions are restored in Europe, but, on the other hand, imports of such goods as iron and steel, lumber, petroleum products, machinery, furniture. boots and shoes, cement, automobiles, office sup plies and specialties, in which America had large part before the war and whicA have been reduced by war conditions will be greatly increased.
 Tn passing it may be noted that in lsl. the United States supplied Argentina with goGds value at s133, ,251s49 (Umteo States cJrrency), or 36 per cent of the total imports. It's nearest competitor was the United Kingdom, whose exports to the Argentine were valued at $SO,O 5zz
 s'There are several fundamental req sons which are responsible for this con- cusion:
 .Ameriean manufacturers and exporters are beginning to know and to meet the requirements of the Argentine buyer. The

PRIVATES RETURN
 WITH MORE MONEY
By Associated Press

Winnipeg, Man. April 12.-Canadian privates are returning from Europe with considerable money. while many officers are reaching their homes prac- tically penniless, according to provin- cial officials.
 Most of the soldiers had approxi- mately $500 to their credit when they left England, only a portio1 of tue amount being given to them before authorization. The privates spent most of their leisure at recreation camps where little money was needed.
 Officers, on the other hand. followed their inclination to live" and with British and American officers helped fill the London hotels. according to re- turned officers. They say that Iratern- izing with American officers proved rather costly as Americans received higher pay, and spent it freely.
 Thousands of Canadian privates will return with far more money than they possessed when the enlisted oue off cer said.

SINN FEN FIGHTS
 FOR LOCAL PLACES
Suceeed in the Local Irish Offices

Dubln,( March 20.-The Sim Feiners are preparing very thoroughly for the capture al the next elections, of5complete 2 control of the Irish local bodies. The work of canvass and propaganda already had begun. As no other organization IS similarly prepared, it is considered likely that the Sim Fein plans will be success ful, and that in the majority of cases the local governments will pass into Sinr Fein hands.
 At least 400o guardians and similar number of district councillors and many hundreds of county and urban council. lors will be chosen as candidates.
 Nationality. the principal organ of Sim Fein, says concerning the election: Tt will give us an opportunity of browns to the world what Ireland can do in the domain of self. government and will pre- pare the country for the greater task or national government later on.
 The Sim Fein leaders have not eX- plained how they propose to operate locai government bodies apart from the control of the British government. The local bodies have the power to levy and spen :. very large sums in local matters But the whole system is subject to the code ot British law, and every local body is under the Jurisdiction of the Irish local govern ment board, which is body appointed by Dublin Castle, whose assent and author ity is required to everything
 3 Their opponents say that if the Sim Feiners work under the local government board, as is unlikely, they will be making themselves a branch of the existing Irish administration. If they do not, it is claimed, they cannot legally work at all.
 The Sim Feiners have decided to use the local bodies in which they obtain con- trol means for the spread of the Irish language. In the recent parliamen- tary elections an attempt was made to select as candidates only men capable or conducting public business in the Irish language. So far as possible the prin- ciple will be applied to the coming local elections. although there will be several thousands of nominees.

WHEAT AND FURS k
 STORED IN RUSSIA
Peasants and Farmers Un- able to Trade Them for
 Articles They Want
By Associated Press

Omsk, Siberia, February 11.-Disinclina- tion of the pea sant and the huntsman to part with the products of his land or ot his hunt becaJ SC he cannot buy needec manufactured articles with the money he would obtain t herefor is one of the chiet causes of the commercial stagnation in Russia today Clothing. boots, socks, tools, machine ry, necessities for his household he fa in would acquire, but ever a pile of rubles will not bring them to his door. They do not exist in Siberia. So the peasant kdeps his wheat and other cereals and the hunter stores the furs and skins. Money has lost its value here.
 Punctuation df the Russian ruble. and the difficulty and cost encountered by the tradesman in getting his goods to market has reduced commerce to a min irnum The m erchant will not run the risks involved without expecting big profits and this has caused manufacture commodities to soar in price.
 Another impo Ftant factor is fleeing. Sev- eral merchants who have been doing business in Russia informed the Asso- ciated Press correspondents that the habit of tipping (brilNing they called iD was in- creasing One foreign merchants who sends goods to Onlsk said:
 When I foTWard carload Of mef- chandise from Harbin or VladiVostok don't know, in the first place, whether It will ever arrive with the railroad condl' tions as they are. l must send q repre- sentative with the car to pay out money on the way to officials and employees Otherwise my car will be sidetracked That is the great evil of Russia today. Business has developed into speeula- tion.'
 Before the war Siberian wheat was worth about 10 cents per eight pounds; to- day it is sold for the normal equivalent of about $4. That shows how prices have jumped
 All authorities agreed that the arrival of manufactured articles in Siberia and central Russia is an urgent necessity. They have great expectations of ths American war trade board in this respect, and point out that the well-organized st- berian cooperative associations could easily attend to the distribution.
 The things imperative for the salvation and reorganization of Russia are placed in this order: First, peace and order second, efficient operation of the rat- roads under the direction of John F. Stevens, the American expert; third, ths economic rehabilitation of the country by the concerted help of the powers. These things attained the impression gener- ally prevails that Russia would be one of the fist great nations to recover from the war on account of her great and, as yet, entirely undeveoped resources.
