Enemy Fights Desperately.
The enemy's defeat in front of the
Twentieth corps (American First and
Second divisions and First Moroccan
division) was the principal cause OF
the withdrawal of his armies, but he
fought desperately from position to
position and his retirement was being
skillfully conducted to save men and
material from capture.
In the COMPREHENSIVE of July Is
no operations were ordered for French
or American troops east of Chateau
Thierry, leaving them an opportunity
to readjust their lines. On the Goth,
patrols from the Third division dis
covered that the Germans had with

ARGENTINE ENJOYS
|. CRITICISM STUDIED
U. S. Not Expected to Ask
Explanation of Tariff
Remarks. :.
By the Associated Preas.

BY the Associated Press.
Ambassador Manuel G. Malbran OF
Argentina returned to washington YES
terday to find considerable discussion
aroused by his speech on Argentine
United States trade relations and the
tarih before the National Foreign Trade
Council in New York
The diplomat, whose address has
been interpreted in some quarters as
a criticism of the United State protec-,
tive tariff, particularly as affecting.
Argentine products, and a warning
that Argentina on her part might be
compelled to follow suit with high
tariffs, did not enlarge upon his formal
address.
u. S. Comment Withheld.
Although State Department officials
doubtless will study the Argentine Am
bassadors remarks carefully as coming
from an accredited representative before
this Government and bearing upon an
important phase of relations between
the two countries, they had given no
indication they anticipated finding
Malbran's discussion Objectionable or
likely to call for diplomatic explana-
ton. It was his third formal speech
touching upon commercial relations be-
tween the two countries, and one in
which he called attention to the con-
trasting protective tariff policy Of the
United States and Argentina's encour-
agement Of foreign trade for her live
stock and agricultural products.
He pointed out that the effect Of the
tariff in some cases had been prohib
tive for some Argentine products, asked
If the United States tariff had been ef
fective in attaining the desired ends Of
stimulating home production and called
attention to suggestions heard IN his
country that Argentina in turn raise
her duties.
Registered Protest.
Some Argentine organizations were
among those from various countries TO
register protests during discussions in
Congress Of the Hawley-Smoot tariff
measure now in effect. and Argentina
since has asked for a study under the
flexible provision Of rates on certain OF
her export products, such as caflne. In
his speech Malbran said his country
had not been as fortunate as some in
receiving prompt action on its requests.
The suggestion made by some unof-
fetal observers of the possibility OF the
Ambassador being asked for further
particulars on some OF the points ne
touched on appeared remote today, par
ticularly in view of his tnsistence in the
address that he was not attacking or
protecting high or low tariff policies
and his statement that he considered a
country's tariff policy matter OF in
ternal legislation.
From the time Of his arrival in wash
ington last November, the Argentine
diplomat has stressed his intention OF
working for increasingly harmonious
commercial and other relations between
his country and the United States.
