things which meet the tastes and de- sircs of the consuming public. Care ful studies of the market have been made within the past year, not only by United States government agencies but by individual manufacturers.
 "The establishment by two of the most important national banks of the United States of branches in the Argentine, and the general adoption of trade acceptances, have made the financing of shipments to and from the Argentine much easier and given the American manufacturer an oppOr- tunity to grant necessary credits. to compete with other countries. Argen- tina, like all new countries, requires long credits.
 American concerns are establish ing their own branch houses or direct agencies in Argentina to conduct their sales. Within the last two years, progress in this direction has been great, but it is expected that when the companies in the United States now being organized under the provi- sions of the Webb law are established in foreign countries, large increase in their number will be noted. Large Argentine concerns, many of them controlled by European capital, are locating permanent buyers in the Unit ed States" s
 Turning from the optimistic side of the development of American trade in Argentina, MT Barrett pointed out few things which will be necessary if manufacturers in the United States are to continue to occupy an import ant part in this market.
 First" he said, "the United States must be placed on a parity with Euro pean nations in the matter of ship ping and freight rates. Now that the war is over there is tendency to re- vert to old conditions. ablishment of regular lines of steamers, both for freight and passengers, between the United States and the River Plate is most essential.
 Manufacturers in the United States must train young men for for eign service and give them sufficient inducements to live permanently in foreign countries. One of the most discouraging features of our overseas trade is the lack of competent men to fill import positions abroad.
 Some plan must be adopted by which the foreign buyer may be pro- tected against the unreliable or un- scrupulous commission merchant or manufacture. Nothing has so harmed American trade during the past few years as the action of some concerns, who have failed to comply with their contracts and in some instances de- frauded their clients. Perhaps the li- ConSlnS Ol IlTlllS Dy Luc r,cuoIdI lIduC commission to do an export business and the extension of the commissions jurisdiction over their actions would be a remedy for this difficulty.
 Finally" said MT. Barrett, Ameri- can capital must be more freely in vested in South American securities of proved worth.
 No single factor he added, "has been more responsible for the i'm portant part that Great Britain has taken in supplying Argentina with raw material and manufactured pro- ducts than the very large investment of British capital in Argentine rail- ways and industrial enterprises"

HOME CHARITY.

Julius II. Barnes, United state
wheat director, is afraid chat tho
favor of cheaper bread would be
spoiled for Americans if they felt that
government appropriation haa
helped in reducing the price OF flour.
He IS deeply concerned lest the
stigma of charity disturb the Chez
of our three costly squares a day
For the government to handle the
wheat supply directly would imply q
subsidy, and Mr. Barnes, out of sym
patty for the consumer is opposed to
such relief measure.
The wheat fund OF billion dollars
is almost untouched and prompt action
would serve to cut excessive LIVING
costs while slower methods OF invest
cation and legislation are being ca
ried on
As for the charity" argument
Manufacturers in the United States
have always depended on tariffs 10
enable them 10 sell their goods with
out competition from cheaper importa-
tions. In many instances they have
sold articles more cheaply to Euro,
peans than to Americans by reason Of
federal protection.
The consumer has paid the differ
ence and it is insisted by advocates
OF high tariff, American capital and
labor have jointly benefited
As permanent state OF affairs, ne
have been paying a subsidy to Ameri
can manufacturers.
They don't eem TO be suffering from
the shifty look OF the
charity seeker is not in their eye. /
Where did the billion dollar wheat {
fund come from, anyway?
Taxpayers - all bread-eaters - sup
piled it.
Now, in pinch, it seems likely
that they could be given the adyan-
tage Of their own cash reserve with
out writing at the taste of subsidy

In month or so he will need an.
