COMPLAIN OF
j. s. MERCHANT TS

SANTIAGO. Chile, Fob. l6, cry
Main Chilean merchants complain
OF delays in delivery OF goods order.
ed from the United States and that
IN some cases their orders are not
filled by North American manurac'
turers, because the United States
does not use the metrical system OF
measures.
Some >Chileans declare that. In.
stead of consulting the wishes and
peculiaritios of the Chilean market,
the American seems inclined to sell
only what he has to offer and to i'm.
pose conditions.
AS evidence of this situation the
Chileans cite the case of firm OF
wholesale dealers who placed In the
United States large order for light
summer wear textiles which were
needed here in December. They paid
80 per cent on account and after
awaiting shipment were advised that
It could not be made before the end
OF January. This cost that firm its
summer trade. The Chileans say that
no explanations can condone that.
The newsprint paper business Is
declared to have been completely
taken away from the United States
by Norwegian competitors because
the Americans cannot guarantee de-
liveries nor prices.
One firm OF iron founders placed
big order for material OF various
qualities and dimensions and two
months later received advices that
the material could not be ship,
the manufacturers could t'''.'.'
goods only to approximate M 'a
measurements.
There is some complaint that t.Yere
seems to be no system in the North
American export business and that
the sellers have lost sight of the
principle that the buyer is not fore
ed to buy unless he chooses, that he
has opportunity for choice and will
buy where he obtains satisfaction in
quality, delivery and credits.
Chile imports about s150,000,o 900
worth of goods annually and, now
that the nitrate export trade is boom
ing. there is an active market here
for machinery for new enterprises,
steel and iron for public works and
railroads, iron for private industry,
petroleum, textiles, sugar and auto
mobiles.

BRITISH ARE
FEARFUL Of
j. :. RIVALRY

BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 20. (By
MaiD Some British interests here
have undertaken a publicity cam
paign in what has been referred to
as "the great struggle" between the
United States and Great Britain for
the markets of South America. "Spe-
cial kilograms" from London pur-
porting to show that the United
States is losing her South American
markets, or otherwise disparaging
the United States, have been gratui.
tously distributed by a British adver-
tising agency and have been widely
published in Argentine newspapers.
One of the kilograms was a criti-
cism of Herbert Hoover for saying
that the European countries should
work more and ask less of the
United States" The Telegram"
made a comparison between the los
ses sustained by the European allies
in the war, particularly the British
dominions, as compared with those
of the United States and pointed out
that the losses of the European
countries had reduced their produc-
tive capacity, whereas the United
States had not suffered at all econ
omically.
Another of these special tele-
grams" quoted the President of the
British Board of Trade in London
as saying: "I believe that the Unit
ed States is gradually losing the
markets gained when Germany was
wiped off the seas and while Britain
was fighting in the war. Britain is
not only regaining, but is enlarging
her markets in South America and
the Orient. We are replacing Ger
many in Latin America and sup
planting the United States in war
markets"
The truth of this statement as far
as it concerned Argentina was i'm
mediately challenged by the River
Plate American, a weekly CONNER
cial magazine, which has published
an interview from DR.. julius Klein,
United States Commercial attache.
Frankly, said DR.. Klein, "I'd
like to know in what lines the Brit
ish are enlarging their South Ameri-
can trade at our expense. The latest
available figures showed anything
but loss, so far as our business in
these markets is concerned. Perhaps

SAYS MODERN
GIRL SPOILED

LONDON, Feb. 23. (By Mail.)--
"The present day middle-class girl
has been has been spoiled, she is
lazy, restless. pleasure-seeking and
egotistical, has better time than
any other woman in the world, but
she is never satisfied" accuses a
woman writing to the London Daily
News over the signature victorian"
"The young woman OF today ap-
pears to think that she is the only
woman who has ever had any domes-
tic difficulties, or had to do any
work" she writes. "The fact is of
course, that she has a far easier
time than women had in my day.
I'm those days we didn't grumble
or look upon ourselves as victims.
We didn't talk about any revolt of
housewives or worry our husbands
to death with demands for a better
time. We worked hard and cheer
fully, did without luxuries and ex-
pensive holidays, and brought up
large families without considering
ourselves martyrs.
"The trouble is that the present
day middle-class girl is 'spoilt.' Us
ually, she dislikes children, and re-
sents having to give up any time to
lonkinp after than Che wnul1
rather play bridge than hear a
child's prayers.
