bRACS OF JOHN
BULL DRAW. IRE
OF AMERICANS
Consul ut BuenOs Aires Challenges
Claims of Easy Trade Conquest
in South.

Buenos Aires, Sunday, Jan. 25.-
Statements by Lord Ashfeld, presi-
dent OF the British Board of Trade,
that the British would supplant the
United States in the market she
won in South America during the
war. which were recently cabled to
Argentina, have aroused consider
able feeling among Americans here.
Speaking last night at the first an
nual banquet of the United States
Chamber of Commerce in Argen-
tina, William H. Robertson consul
general here. took exception to
them as being hostile propaganda.
"The amount of our Latin
American and Argentine trade we
had after the war" he said. will
depend on the efficiency of our
manufacturers and the skill of our
salesmen-in other words-the con-
sideration of price and quality. The
United States has up to the pres
ent made virtually no concerted eff
fort to secure Latin. American
trade. Our goods sold themselves
on their merits alone. l think the
president of the British Board of
Trade will find himself mistaken in
his alleged utterance, that more
experienced methods in trading,
sentimental relations and British
quality are going to supplant us
soon with our Latin-American
friends.
