cal, which means liberal, party, and.
although elected by strongly con-
servative elements, he still expounds
liberal policies. He is a fiscal wizard
having cleared some troublesome
financial snarls and reduced the
public debts when he was minister
of finance.
He lacks all the popular trim
mings and embellishments which
customarily advance political for
tunes in South America. He never
was a gaucho, never owned great
haciendas, was no great hidalgo
and never played polo. He is short
and stocky, with jutting jaw, his
abundant dark hair still showing no
gray. A Basque, born in Bilbao, he
has the traditional energy of this
line. He is a connoisseur of both
food and friends, famed as an epi-
cure and good companion Second
ary interests are collecting old Ar
gentine costumes and fishing. He
is former lawyer with an income
of $4,000 year.
Repeatedly, before and after TAX
ing the presidency, he has urged
friendship, cooperation and under

Western Hemisphere, and, more
than the head of any other South
American state, has shown a will
ingness to cooperate with our state

Of solidarity against trade and mill
