ARGENTINE SENATE
BALKS ALLIED LOAN
Sees Little Chance for $780,
900, 900 Measure to Pass.

BuENos AYREs. April l3.--Pre sident
Irigoyen 40 far has been unable to OBJ
tain from the Argentine Senate recon
sideration of its refusal TO ratify the
conventions entered into by the Gov
eminent with several of the allied GOV
ernments to loan them an aggregate
OF 5000. 900. 900 for the purchase of Ar
gentine cereals and other products. The
President sent message 10 the Senate
last night after a long Cabinet meeting
convoking special session OF the Senate
for reconsideration OF its ratification
refusal Not enough Senators attended,
however, to constitute a quorum.
The Senators present decided not TO
take up the subject for consideration
until April % In legislative circles little
expectation was expressed that the re
con sideration plan will prevail, as even
some of the Senators who favored rati-
fication are opposed to reconsideration.
The Presidents message said that the
action OF the Senate had embarrassed
the nations commercial relations with
Great Britain. France and Italy.
The manner in which the ratification
OF the treaties WAS refused leaves no
opportunity for Argentina 10 offer a
smaller loan or otherwise treat with the
Allies.
The rejection is attributed to the Gov
eruInent's insistence that the convention
should be ratified as presented. without
amendments. The Senators opposed the
the provision for floating loan by the
emission of paper money.

Specially Written for the South Amer

A bond of union between the United
States OF America and the United States
Of Brazil, my earnest wish for almost
four years. prompts me to bring before
the American people another product
Just as important in the future as cof-
fee, meat and its byproducts and rubber.
1t is an article still dormant, COM
pletely neglected, so much SO that my
own countrymen have not yet realized
Its wonderful possibilities
mean the vegetable oils from palm
trees. growing without any special care
along our extensive coast, about $500
grees above the equator to 23 degrees
below. OF course palm trees grow in
all tropical zones, but none of them are
so accessible TO the chief markets of
Europe and the United States as those
of Brazil. And that can be verified by
simply looking at the map Of the world.
100000 Trees Along Coast.
Brazil possesses, so far. not more
than 100000 cocoanut trees on a
stretch of coast line nearly 1000 miles
long. that Is, between the States OF
Bahia and Parahyba. where she could
and should eventually grow 100000, 900
trees, not taking into account what can
be raised from the coast line running
from the State Of Parahyba to the
also consider that from the State OF
Bahia as far as Santos. the great coffee
seaport, cocoanut trees grow just as we'll
as in the northern part OF Brazil.
1t Is logically certain that from now
on farseeing American business men will
endeavor to turn the adverse balance OF
vegetable oil supply sources in their
favor by devoting their energy and am
pie surplus finances 20 this planting de-
velopment in Brazil. They no longer
will allow this great potential region to
lie abandoned or permit 1t to be taken
in hand by overseas interests.
As striking example OF unprece-
dented prosperity following syete.
matte development, can cite coffee
in my own State of Sac Paulo. which
though a beverage and not a food
staple, yields. however, at present q

American business men will now become
aware OF the fact that Brazil has beer
awaiting them for the opportunity e

potential yearly revenue OF some $500

far less hazard and less market fuc

l am indebted TO Frederick s. Pape
distinguished gentleman who ha.
travelled all through Brazil, for tho
important data about such an important
food staple. American imports of co

figure of 4s7.000,00 pounds.
