CRlTICIZES PHASES OF
ARGENTINE'S POLICY
(By Associated Press)

BUENOS AYRES, Sept. 23-Mea-
sures taken by the Argentine govern
ment looking to the appropriation of
food products, including virtually the
entire surplus of sugar in the process
of manufacture, were criticized by
James w. R. NacLeay, British min
lister here in a speech here before the
British chamber of commerce of this
city. British capital has been in.
vested in sugar and it is alleged the
government intends to pay less than
the cost of its production.
"These measures" said Mr.. Mac.
Leay, react unfavorably on the minds
of foreign investors and disturb the
atmosphere of confidence and security
on which the investment of capital by
one foreign country in another is
based"

ADVICE FOR MOTORISTS
WHEN CAR Is LAID UP

When the owner finds II necessary
TO put his car out OF commission for
protracted period--whether II be in
the public garage or in his own-he
should make IL a point 10 observe a
certain routine in preparing his car
for It's time or non-seryice, says a
writer In the current issue OF Amer
lean Motorist.
First OF all, the writer continues.
the body and running gear should be
washed with water and soap and the
body polished with a chamois skin.
Then polish all bright metal trim
mings and rub them over with an
oiled or waNed rag. Drain the cooling
system. Put some heavy oil into the
cylinders and turn the engine over
several times to distribute the heavy
lubricant over the cylinder walls and
into the piston ring grooves. etc. Re-
move the storage battery and have IL
charged. Connect the binding posts
on the generator with a copper wire.
Jack the car up so as to take the
weight from the tires. Release the
brakes. Raise the top, II yours Is an
open car; this will keep the top
smooth. Finally cover the entire car
with sheeting.

MOTOR TRUCK FIELD
LIES IN SHORT HAUL
Auto Will Never Compete With
Railroads in Long Trips,
Says Expert.
By EDWARD HUNGERFoRD.

or all the many modern modes OF
transport, the most fascinating today
is the motor truck. In national In
terest-perhaps even In national pos
L.bllity-it even exceeds ships and
shipping, For ships do not penetrate
nnto the heart OF Ohio or Kansas or
I orth Dakota. Motor trucks do. The
hum OF their engines Is heard In every
corner or the land; and almost every
county OF its hinterland as well. 1t
is all but omnipresent And its
warmest enthusiasts only halt their
prophecies as to its future because
OF some unfortunate limitations OF the
English language.
In fact, and to put the matter
frankly. should say that the great
est danger that today confronted the
motor truck as a national asset was
coming from those same warm friends
OF IL. These are the men who are
already talking OF successful motor
truck routes from New York to Chi
cago or from Chicago to the Twin
cities, the Missouri river. or even
Denver when. as a matter of actual
fact, it's actual economies for use In
continuous runs OF more than a hun
dred miles have never been proved
to the satisfaction OF it's own builders.

S Are Better Than Railroads For Short HaulS [

These men not only bring ridieule
upon a form OF transport, which In
its own fields. IL without a serious
rival. to say nothing of being with
out a peer. but they actually form a
serious stumbling block to the motor
truck In It's own nelds Of greatest op-
portunity.
short Haul Is Motor Field.
IL you were TO ask me what con-
sidered such fields, should quickly
reply by saving that l never have con-
sldered the motor truck as a serious
rival OF the railroad-in long-haul
trafnc. Under stress and emergency
II has done wonders-even In the
long-haul. But IL seems absurd 10 say
that II can compete with the railroad
under ordinary conditions-to say
nothing OF the extraordinary con-
ditions which ofttimes comes I'm our
northern winters for trafic moving
hundred or 100 miles. or upward.
The best OF our modern freight
trains will carry 5000 tons-with a
crew OF Ave or six men. To move
the same tonnage by motor truck
would take thousand trucks and a
thousand drivers. In America, labor
counts. And IL you ask, how about
the labor that maintains the railroad
track, will reply by asking how
about the labor that maintains the
highways. II Is quits, or nearly So
And II would take a lot OF labor upon
the railroad TO equalize that 00i ex-
cess OF labor upon the 6,000-ton motor
truck train.
Yet. on the other hand. we have in
this country hundreds upon hundreds
OF small branch railroads whose very
L.. .l.gas
rassment and an extravaganza to the
bigger roads that own them. The
motor truck can do two things with
these; II can either render their OPP
Grafton unnecessary by parallellns
their service upon the highways near
by and so permit their rails to be
taken up and used elsewhere, or else
they can substitute Hanged wheels
for their tires and operate tbs mselves
upon those very rails, at vast econ
omy in cost and n great bettermcnt
In service rendered.
Need Feeder Lines.
Moreover, for each of these branch
railroads which i have just mention
