British Trade Gain i'm Argentina
Exceeds That of United States

which are fundamental in the largest
or smallest business. Sentiment may be
unequal, but the individual buyer wants
to get the most for his money. That is
one reason why retaliatory tariffs
against the United States, or absolute
prohibition of imports from the United
States, as threatened in Australia,
means penalizing citizens in those
countries who are compelled either to
pay more or to buy inferior goods.
Second, service, which includes terms
OF payment, promptness Of deliveries,
packing and many other details, I'M
known to the customer, but important
to the shipper. The American exporter
does not give as long terms OF credit as
do his rivals from Europe, but the goods
must be paid for anyway and less Is
lost through bad collections.
Deliveries are expedited by most of
the big exporters by having stock ware
houses at the largest ports in South
America from which orders are filled.
Packing of American goods, which 80
years ago was the worst in the world,
now Is the best-sturdy and as the ship
per wants it. More than that. the
American exporter usually will change
to meet his market, while the older
European house merely replies, II at
all, That's the way we've always done
IL, and does not change.
Third, advertising, which covers sales
manShip as well as the we'll known use
OF newspapers, billboardS, electric signs
and attractive counter displays. In no
other countries have these lines been
developed as in the United States, and
they have been carried to Latin Amer
lea. They have succeeded there, as the
results show, but 1t has required the
personal touch and a readjuStment to
suit the tastes Of those countries.
Each article, from smallest to largest.
has presented a different problem, and
the foreign export manager who at
temptS to build up trade in those coun-
tries by correspondence or by shipping
q line Of samples to department Of
commerce attache, without sending a
ground, usually is disappointed.
Satisfied customers are willing to be
friends, but they are not necessarily SO.
The fact that the Latin American coun-
tries are good customers of the United
States does not necessarily mean that
they are friendly. Most of the American
interests doing business with Latin
America have sincere friendship for
those countries and want them to have
the same for the United States, regard
less of whether it means. a cents Diff
ference in trade.
Others brusquely refuse to be inter-
eSted, which Is what the Latin Ameri-
can, with his sensitiveness to appear
ances, notices and says, THE United
States is interested only in selling us
something" A few days ago one of
these Americans was urged to join So
ciety which will extend hospitality to
other Latin Americans than prospective
purchasers. "See the Chicago Chamber
Of Commerce. it has a committee" he
replied, amply justifying the South
Americans complaint about. lack of
friendship.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PH1LANDER JOHNSON.

Greetings.
Back to the familiar friends. the friends
Of long ago,
Too easily forgotten when old Santa
makes the show
Friends who wear no beard so white,
nor fur-trimmed coat so quaint,
Each kindly toward his neighbor, with
no claim to be a saint.
Back to the policeman, who stu does
the best he can
To regulate the traffic or to curb the
bootleg man.
Wen greet the letter carrier, since his
hardest work is through,
And give him welcome once again, Just
as We used to do.
Back to the fire laddie, whom we've
treated with neglect.
Too often We forget him till we've some
thing to protect.
We've had our Merry Christmas and we
gladly turn anew
With Happy New Year to the friends
SO ready and so true.

HELEN HAYES MAY
LOSE HER HUSBAND
McArthur's First Wife Sues
to Set Aside Divorce She
Says Was UnWanted.
nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, September 12.-
Asserting that she had been given a
divorce against her will and over her
objection, Carol Frink, movie critic on
a Chicago newspaper. yesterday started
legal action which, if successful, would
annul the marriage of her former
husband, Charles Macarthur, playwright,
and Helen Hayes, actress.
Miss Frink filed for a writ of
certiorari in the State Supreme Court
asking a review of an Appellate Court
decree. She filed the original bill
charging extreme and repeated cruelty,
her petition states, but by the time the
case got to the Appellate Court, she
had decided not to get divorce. She
moved for dismissal of the case. she
alleges, but the court granted the decree
anyway.
Macarthur and his first wife were
divorced several years ago. Since then
he has married Helen Hayes, star of
"Coquette" and other plays. If the
divorce were set aside, as Miss Frink
requests, the second marriage would be
annulled.
Macarthur wrote the play Lulu Belle"
and elaborated with Ben Hecht In
