abroad. He believes that the cry of 'foot-and-mouth disease" n bogey used by the American farmer and politician to establish . virtual ban on Argentine meat importations.
 The average citizen here likewise believes that the present discussions of tariff on corn is a step in the same direction. especially since the Argentine corn exports to the United States are a very small proportion Of the domestic consumption.
 Alfalfa Seed
 Another sore point is the Amer iean classification of Argentine al- falfa seed, producers here believing that they were eliminated as com- petitors in the market by the arRu- ments that the seeds were not wholly suitable.
 In Herbert Hoover, the Argentine people see not a politician, but . man who has accomplished great work and who will appreciate the Argentine viewpoint. He will come here with the initial advantage o1 commanding the respect of the peo. pie he IS visiting-something which some others on such mission might not have.

ARGENTINE READY
 TO GREET HOOVER
Problems of s. A. Country Re lated to US.

Buenos Aires. Nov. 22 (UP) = lens are so largely related to her growing trade with the United States that the visit of Herbert Hoover will be particularly oppor- tune.
 The visit, it is hoped. will afford the American president elect an op- portunity to explain the American viewpoint on commercial questions in which there is now a divergence of opinion and to hear the view point of Argentina.
 Dispell Suspicion
 One of the tasks of Mir. Hoover that many of the American restric- tions on Argentine products is a commercial ban in disguise. It will be the task of the Argentine states men to make it clear that Argen- tina's outspoken criticisms of the American policies, as voiced by for mer Ambassador Pueyrredon to the United States at the Pan-American | conference in Havana, are the action ! of a candid friend rather than one hostile to the United States. | For example, the average citizen in Argentina views as unreasonable any restrictions on Argentine meats, | feeling that the recent British in vestigations proved beyond doubt that the Argentine inspections are so rigid that there is no danger of carrying dangerous cattle diseases

PRESS AGENT HAS TO
 PAY S2,@0 DAMAGES
Paper Sues Canadian for Fostering Publicity Article On 1t Which
 Was Untrue

Calgary. Alta. Nov. c2 R-A press agents successful effort to se- cure some free advertising for a circus by submitting to newspa- per what was ruled to be an un- truthful news article. today had brought a judgment of $2,5O0 dam ages against him and his employers.
 The article in question was tele- graphed to the Calgary Herald by James Van Shyke, private secretary to Charles Cook, general manager of the Al. G. Barnes circus. from kamloops. B. C. It represented the circus as contemplating the expen- diture of large sum of money in a motion picture enterprise, in Call gary. The newspaper printed the story and when it found it to be un- true, started action.
 In ruling for the paper. Justice Parker of the supreme court said that Shyke's action constituted a deliberate, fraudulent and unfortu- nately successful attempt to im- pose as an item of news something which they apparently conjured up and exploited for their own purpose of seIf-advertising."
 The circus. Cook and Shyke were all made parties to the action. Costs also were assessed against them.
