COLBY TELLS 0F
 OFFICIAL VISITS
 ID SOUTH AMERICA
Declares People of Brazil, Uru- quay and Argentina Are Delightful, Progressive
 and Enlightened
By Associated Press

Washington, January I.--Once again at his desk at the state department after nearly two months of travelling, Secre- tary Colby today told of the impressions gained from his official visits to Brazil and Uruguay and his unofficial visit to Argentina.
 Tt was broadening experience, one that l wish all my fellow countrymea might have MT. Colby declared. The three republics evinced the most friend- liness for the United States as well as a profound understanding of the situation with respect to the rest of the world in which this country finds itself now that the war is. over.
 'I know no better way of expressing my admiration of the people of those countries than by saying that they are delightful, progressive. enlightened lin short, worthy in more than one respect of the emulation of North Americans. Y
 The Secretary of State said the out standing feature of all his official and unofficial receptions was the enthusiasm for and understanding of President Wil- son. who, he added, was perhaps bet ter appreciated in Latin America than ir the Gnited States''
 WELL INFORMED
 Mir Colby said that ir h.s discussion of western hemisphere questions with gov- ernment officials of the three nations ne found that South Americans were well informed on questions now uppermost Fl the United States, including tariff re- visions.
 In Argentina, particularly, he added. TT found no disposition to attribute American consideration to tariff sched- ules inimical to countries shipping farm products to the United States as inspired by desire for commercial warfare. On the contrary. the men at the head of affairs Tn Argentina understand the mos lives of American law-makers who are sponsoring the measures and are not ap- prehensive of the outcome. Also they understand through experience with their own congress that measure introduced is not necessarily a measure adopted.
 "In my talks with men of affairs. I undertook particularly to explain that this country was under great financial pressure caused by the war and that whatever tariff measures might be passed would result from the absolute necessity of raising money to carry on the affairs of the nation. I found them sympathetic and, not inclined to place q false construction on our acts
 Secretary Colby said he had found no evidence that the Argentine government was contemplating the imposition of re- taliatory tariffs on American imports into Argentina in case the Fordney tariff measure became law.
