BIJENOS AYRES, Dec. Is.
.1N.S.). - President-elect Hoover
awoke today to find all the papers
of this city lauding the speech
delivered for him last night by
Ambassador Henry P. Fletcher. 1t
emphasized that the world was on
the brink of a new era Of industry
and democracy in which the Ar
gentine would take an eminent
place along the leaders Of the vest
ern world.
The speech was delivered at d
state banquet at the presidential
palace. Hoover did not make the
speech himself because President
Irigoyen has made 1t his rule
never to make public speeches.
Fletcher, now Ambassador to ITALY
and formerly Ambassador to Chile,
read the speech Mr.. Hoover had
written en- route to this city.

Various Argentine leaders in busi-
ness. politics and other fields today
conferred with Hoover regarding the
particular problems in their field

The cream of social and diplo-
matte society 0f the Paris of the

that Hoover and President Irigoyen
are in complete harmony on all
matters concerning both the United

their two-hour conference behind
closed doors yesterday.
After the banquet the president
accompanied. Hoover to the Amer.
