 in United States trade with South America, and particularly with Ar gentina, forms the subject of an out spoken article in La Euoca, the gov ernment organ.
 After explaining that it's present criticisms are written in the same friendly spirit as were the encon- iums it has frequently voiced on for mer occasions. La Epoca points out tkat despite the business acumen and commercial foresight of American merchants, proved over and over again in a thousand ways, they have failed to hold the position they gained in the South American mar kets during the war simply because they have refused to adopt methods calculated to suit Latin American conditions.
 They began their export operations by insisting upon spot payments against bills of lading and allowed the buyer no time to examine the goods or any opportunity to express his consent or otherwise Later, a concession of three months, and aft erwards of six months credit was granted, but the refusal to allow an examination of the goods continued. Extension of Credit
 But as these extensions of credit have coincided with the extraordi- nary appreciation of the United States dollar in respect to Argentine l .,.lt f.I tixt tion to export Argentine gold, and with the high interest--some cases 9 Ter cent--charged by North Amer ican banks for dscounting bills given In payment of American goods these concessions have, in reality. conceded" nothing.
 Again North American investors have shown little inclination to put their money into South American en- terprises. says La Epoca, nor have their manufacturers consulted Latin American tastes in the preparation O, articles destined for the Argentine markets. Again and again the ques- tionab1e business methods of some of the agents of important northern firms have been denounced. Finally, the deficient transport services have not been materially improved. If this were not enough, continues La Epoca, while the United States finance. minister" chants anthems in praise of the "open door policy which is to eliminate favoritism and unjust privileges, the government decrees an emergency tariff in pro- tt ction of it's own producers which constitutes a severe blow to Argen- tine exportation.
 Under these circumstances, and in the name of Pan-American frater- nifty. La Epoca urges the careful study of tha question in order to ar rive at favorable solution of the difficulties mentioned. There are no fundamental divergencies to over come, but simply those of method, it says, adding that harmonious rela- tions are worth more than few dol lars in the treasury of either nation

 He expressed the opinion that the principal reason why America does not desire an increase of Japanese immigrants is that the Japanese gre industrious workers and formidable

Our city needs new and larger
heart of civic pride and creating

and purpose.

This city is like store or like the
great mills of John and James Dobson
and the Bromleys in KensingtOn, each
of which is not only the offspring of its
founders, but is exactly what it's workers
have made it.
The writer trusts he will be forgiven
if it be fault to refer here to the
enterprise and zeal of our city in 1871,
when the population was QS70 count
674,O22, and it undertook to celebrate
the Centennial and gathered the world
in Fairm0unt Park, where the Memorial
Hall and Horticultural Hall remain as
permanent exhibits of the public spirit,
pride and enterprise of it's citizenship of
that time.
Now with population of l,934,OOO

probably 2,25O,OO0, we have become
stalled in rut with no one to help the

Jay Cooke or Thomas A. Scott to lead

A fur sale is not in itself a

piece or coat toward the end Of
the Winter, when the first crocus
appears-likewise, maybe, the
first moth.
