LONDON, Feb. 22.-As q counter

Lombard Street is quietly calling for
= more en~terPrisinF investment NJ
British capital ia Argentina.
British merchants fear that their
commercial stronghold in South
America is threatened by Americans
and Germans. Indeed, this Is frank
ly admitted in n report just made by
III. o. Chalkley, the commercial coun-
sellor Of the British embassy in
Buenos Aires.
Pred0minance Omitted
In some departments Of trade the
United States has secured n predomi-
nance from which il is becoming in
cr~easingly difficult TO oust her. She
is now by far the largest importer
into Argentina. and in 1927 her total
sales exceeded those Of the United
Kingdom by approximately $685.
100000, or. roughly, 25 per cent. In
certain classes of goods. such as
motor vehicles, the United States is
easily supreme.
Germany j. also n very formidable
competitor, especially in electrical
equipment. Only in coal, ship
building and shipping does Britain
hold her own.
In connection with the quiet
though authoritative propaganda now
being released among British bankers
in an effort to spur British invest
ment in Argentine, 1t il curious TO
note the widely divergent points Of
view held by British and American
investors in that part of the world.
Americans have invested almost
wholly in public loans. while British
ers have preferred 10 invest almost
exclusively in public utilities and
enterprises. The Englishman is n
firm believer in the adage "trade fol-
lows capital" His policy has been
to furnish the finances for great
public works like the Argentine rail-
roads or telephone systems and then
insist that the control of these pro-
jects remain in British hands and be
supplied with British goods. The
American has been content to get his
and let the trade and control take
care of itself.
With the United States and Great
Britain now cast in the roles OF RI
walls in an intense struggle TO cap
ture world trade the Argentine the
alter Of operations is going TO bear
watching during the next few years
by anyone interested in interna-
tional economies.
American investors recently made
tempting offers to shareholders Of
British companies to acquire their
interests in Argentine public utility
enterprises, and the campaign now
being made BY British bankers to in
fluence these shareholders TO resist
the offers on patriotic" grounds is
some reflection Of the intensity of
the commercial struggle now going
on In the Latin American republic.
Some idea OF the British CONNER
eial activities in Argentina may be
bleaned from Mr.. Ghalkley's report.
He points out that the construction
Of a system OF grain elevators 10 sub
stitute the present practice OF trans
porting grain in bags, which has
been under consideration for the last
20 years. has at last been submitted
10 congress. The project will cost

CRIME DOCTORS NEEDED

Crime, according to foremost
scientific opinion, is = disease.
and must be treated as such.
In the past, crime legislation
has failed to take this into &C.
count. We have had an abuand
ance of law, but no determined
effort to correct ls-emotiooal,
mental and social-that have
caused crime to increase.
Jealous reformers have made
strong efforts to pass a national
law forbidding the sale and pos
session of revolvers and pistols.
While such efforts have failed.
many state laws are in force
that make it virtually impossible
for the honest citizen to own q
gun for protection or amusement.
The futility of such laws is
evident. The pistol may be an
instrument of crime, as may
knives, shotguns or the mails.
But it is never q cause. To
legislate against it is equivalent
to legislating against the auto
mobile because reckless driving
causes deaths.
We need crime doctors to cor
rect our judicial system. .reorgan.
ize our laws. and strike at crime
in the manner dictated by sci.
ence. Too many laws have re
acted to the disavantage of the
good citizen and to the benefit of
the criminal. Organized, fana
tical minorities have made crime
legislation impotent.-The Man
