AMERICA AND BRITAIN
FIGHTING FOR TRADE
British Official Makes Flat Statement
That His Country Is Going to
Supplant United States in
South America.

Buenos Aires, Sunday, Jan. 20
Statements by Lord Ashfield of South
well, president Of the British Board of
Trade, that the British were going to
supplant the United States in the mar
ket she won in South America during
the war; which were recently cabled to
Argentina, have aroused considerable
feeling among Americans here.
Lord Ashfield's declarations have
been given wide publicity here by a
British advertising agency, and, speak
ing last night at the first annual ban.
quet of the United States Chamber of
Commerce in Argentina, William Ii.
Robertson, American consul general,
took exception to them as being what
he described as hostile propaganda"
''The amount of our Latin American
and Argentine trade we hold after the
war" he said, will depend exactly, as
always, upon the efficiency of our man
ufacturers and the skill of our sales
men--in other words, considerations of
price and quality. With an enormous
ly valuable home market, the United
States has up to the present made vir-
tually no concerted effort to secure
Latin American trade. Our goods sold
themselves on their merits alone, in
spite of all the hostile propaganda used
against us by our rivals. think the
president of the British Board of Trade
win find himself mistaken in his recent
alleged utterance, and that more ex-
perienced methods in trading, senti
mental relations and British quality
are going to supplant us soon with our
Latin American friends
Mr.. Robertson cited statistics to
show it was a misconeeption that Eu-
ropean nations like Great Britain and
Germany had in the past outsold the
United States in South America, and
to demonstrate that the increase of
United States trade during the war was
merely an enlargement of old, long
esta blished business He said this was
to the Impression the United
States had taken her opportunity to
step in while European nations were
engaged in the war and take away the
profits of their business.
"The simple fact is" he continued.
that the United States has not been
outsold in the past and has little cause
for worry as to what Europeans are go
ing to take away from her in future.
Protesting against the habit attrib-
uted to some Americans in referring
to American importers and manufac-
turers, dealing in South America as
dishonest" Mr. Robertson insisted
there should be retractions made. He
said these men had been imposed upon
by subtle propagandists," who had as
their object the injuring OF Americas
commercial reputation abroad. He as
serted few specific complaints had /
been made the basis for general state
ments.
at would be interesting" he conclud-
I'd. 'sto learn to what extent such com
plants are kept alive in foreign mar
kets by our competitors, but the best
reply to their unworthy and insincere |
aspirations is the simple fact that be-
tween 1905 and 1913 our exports of
pearly doubled and they
nave been steadily increasing since.
