WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. -Argen- tina, colussus of the South Ameri- can continent, will receive Presi- dent-elect Herbert Hoover as the country is forging ahead in eco homie prosperity.
 Last year America sold Areen- tina 13.4 per cent more goods than in 1926. There will be a simliaf gain in 1928. Argentina, however bought from the United States nearly twice as much as it sold. United States imports amounted 10 S1O9,048,oOo; exports were $1S9.- S63,000.
 There are certain fundamental reasons for that, which may be summarized in the fact that Ar gentina's salable commodities are not, 10 a major extent, things that are needed in this country. The reverse is true as far as the Unit ed States is concerned.
 The biggest gains in American exports to Argentina were in au- tomobile tires, cotton, engines and parts, machinery, automobiles and paints.
 Argentina is q pastoral country. It exports mostly meat and dairy products, wheat, corn, hides and wool.
 There is a feeling in the Argen- tine that the trade balance with the United States should be on a more even basis, and there has been some talk of trade barri- ers.'
 Analysis, however, shows thai the United States charges less duty on Argentine goods than Ar gentina does on United States goods.
 MT. Hoover undoubtedly will hear of these economic issues and of recent problems that al times have become grave, that have eon- fronted the country's greatest in- dustry cattle raising and the ship ment of meat.
 Argentina now sends it's beef in greatest amounts to Great Britain and other European countries. Con-  trary to most beliefs, there is not a United States embargo, as such against the importation os Argen- tina meats because of the hoof- and-mouth disease in that country
 There is a department of agri- culture order preventing shipment into America of meats from any section infected with the hoof- and-mouth disease. That, of course prevents shipments from any na- tion where the disease is preval- ent.
 Control of the cattle disease has been an internal problem in Ar gentina in recent years. An English commission now is pre- pairing report, after first hand survey, on the possibility of trans mission of the disease 10 British Isles in shipments of Argentina meat. An adverse report would

S. Ad- dison, of the Coast Guard cutter Unalga.
 The Starr wirelessed that she had an accident to her propellor, either dropped it or it became twisted and the ship was power less

 Please send help. Take pas sengers off. Eleven on board. Ready to be landed if necessary. Tn bad shape. Anchored in 12 fathoms Of water southwest of Point Pearl Island, Kodiak Island. Can't go anywhere"
 Addison Gets Busy
 Immediately upon receiving the radio distress call, Com. E. s. Addison moved the Unalga from |. the Government dock to the side of the freighter Latouche and be- gan taking coal aboard, prepared to sail at o'clock to aid the Starr and tow her into Seward.
 Later radio messages gave the position of the Starr as off Dark Island. a position extremely dan gerous if a storm should arise. Either at Pearl or Dark Island, rocks are numerous.
 Other Boats to Aid
 This afternoon the c u o m House officials redeived word that the halibut boat Discovery had left Seward going to the aid of the Starr, presumably to take off the passengers; that a gasboat had also left Kodiak and the steamer Alameda, which left Juneau early this morning, was going to the aid of the Starr from her position which is now on the Gulf of Alaska.
 If the Unalga sails 6 o'clock tonight, she will be at the side of the Starr in about three days, it is said.
 The Starr is operated as a mail, passenger and freight steamer from Seward to the west ward by the San Juan Fishing and Packing Company, of Seattle. The Starr is a trim craft and has been on the Westward run for a number of years.
