NEW YORK, May 28.-Ambassador
Don Manuel e. Malbran OF Argentina,
today told the national foreign trade
convention that his country might be
forced b embark on Q hieh-tArih policy
IN defense against the tariff barriers
of the United States and other coun-
tries.
Don Manuel emphasized that Argen-
tinAs economic health depends On the
extent Of her export trade, and that
the diminution of that trade may re-
quire her 10 protect and develop her
own industry. just Is the United States
has done, with high tariffs.
Then" he said, you would lose q
good market for your manufactures
| Il speak Of the remote futufeD. but In
exchange you would gain our gratitude
for having taught 10 to make use OF
nigh tariffs"
Expert Cut Cited.
American exports to Argentina in
1919 represented more than 40 per cent
Of our total South American exports.
the Ambassador said, and the exports
Of the flrSt three months Of 1891. have
decreased about go per cent from 1880,
which In turn were 30 per cent under
1899.
Don Manuel called the United States
tariff prohibitive rather than. protcc-
tive, citing that Ia the case Of linseed
the tariff has been changed Upward
20 times. and that nevertheless the
United states produces less linseed to-
- -. o.. warkAn IaA
tafih was one-third a. high.
The Ambassador said the President,
working under the flexible clause, .
could change rates when 30 advised by
the Tariff Commission. adding that
the truth IL that Argentine petitions
to the commission have not met with
the same good fortune In regard to
celebrity Of procedure e. petitions re-
gafding items coming from other coin-
tries. But In spite Gil this I still have
faith"
Criticism L. Denied.
The Ambassador declared he was not
"objecting TO or criticizing protective
tariffs. ! understand that In any case
they respond. to the IDEA which the
lawmakers Of one nation have with
respect to the interests Of their coun-
try At b given moment. am only
making some observations which will
tend 70 defhonstfAte that even within
this frankly pf0tectionist policy Argen-
tine products have scarcely received
equitable treatment"
Beef" the Ambassador said, used
to be Q large item In our trade with
the United states: from 1918 TO 1925
Argentine beet was imported into YOUR
country without question. but when one
case Of foot and mouth disease occurred
in California its source was attributed
to beef coming from my country, and
that was all that was needed for estab-
fishing . prohibition against the i'm
portatton Of Argentine beef, and the
tariff law Of 1880 includes this prohibit
ton In one Of Its clauses"
The Ambassador then pointed mt
that in similar cases Great Britain has
sent experts to Argentina, who, after
lengthy Investigation, have concluded
the charges were unwarranted.

ing to go farther along the coast, but
the weather was so foggy they gave
up this part of their trip.
They returned from La Push tt

travel on the unit of the highway re.
Gently opened. They visited Kalaloch
Quinault, Hoquiam and Aberdeen, re.
turning Tuesday night after a trip o.
about ATS miles in two days.
According to their judgment thi.
new highway opens to the motoring
public the finest scenery in the state
If not in the entire west.

Irregular school attendance is the
greatest drawback In the rural schools,
and will continue detriment until
patrons can be made TO realize how
important regular attendance is, not
only to the individual pupil but to
the whole school. Each year the
teachers are making a greater effort
to inspire the pupils to punctuality,
and each year marks results. How
ever their concern will continue until
the Vashon-Maiiry schools are having
as nearly perfect attendance as is

BY ROBERT d. KOHN,
President of the American Institute OF


President of the American Institute OF Ar
chitects.
While the past year has been one in
which the architectural profession and
the building industry have suffered from
the prevailing lack of new work, indeed
have had to meet very serious prob
lens Of unemployment, the year should
not be looked upon as one entirely lost.
There has been progress in many fields
which should be recognized.
There has been marked improvement
in the quality of architectural design.
In recent years architecture has been
freeing itself from some of its historical
restraints. Tradition is not ignored in
the best work, but its function is under
stood. Much Of the spirit which now
animateS our design is indeed informed
by study of the architecture of the past,
but there IS less imitation of it's surface
indications. At the same time, we must
deplore the equally stupid uniformed
aping of pretended modernisms
But despite this fake modernism,
there have been during the year dis
tinct signs of progress in architectural
design and even greater progress in pub
lie appreciation of the real value of
beauty in public places and buildings.
1t is no longer necessary to prove to the
informed citizens that the good looking
city or building is an asset, not only
sentimental but practical If that prin-
ciple were only generally accepted there
would be plenty of work to do in the
transformation of our American cities.
Aside from actual building work, there
has developed this year better under
standing of those matters in which the
architectural profession must take the
lead, as in the case of the housing prob
lem. Architects have been prominent
in the work of the committees of the
Presidents Conference on Home Build
ing and Home Ownership, some of which
have produced worth while reports.
