State-Church Relations
In Argentina Discussed

Relations between state and
church in Argentina were discussed
in a talk given yesterday before the
adult forum of the Universalist
National Memorial Church by DR..
Almon r. Wright Of the National
Archives.
He pointed out that in the South
American republic the church and
state were bound together. rather
than separated, by the constitution.
He said:
"The federal government and the
Catholic church in Argentina have
been guided in their relations with
each other largely by two provisions
Of the federal constitution of that
country. The first Of these is that
which confers the patronage of
the church Oh the civilian onicials
Of the government. The second Is

that which prescribes the support
of the church by the government.
"The support Of the church bv
the government has meant the use
of the revenues of the state for SAL
aries and other expenses Of the
ecclesiastical hierarchy. It has
meant, therefore, that the govern
ment has exercised, and not always
wisely, q powerful influence on the
church."

By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, July 13. = When you can't get anybody to listen while you tell about your trip to Europe, write letter about it to the De- partment of Commerce.
 Every year for 15 years or more the department has mailed out thousands of questionnaires to travellers chosen at random from passport applications. They ask whether you travelled first class, second or tourist, how much you spent in each country and how long you stayed.
 Primarily the department is after information to help deter mine international balance of pay ments. Last year American tour ists spent a half billion dollars travelling abroad. Foreigners re- ciprocated by spending $160,O00,- 900 here.
 The fun in the answers begins when the cash business is over and the tourists get down to the facts of life abroad.
 One sardonic soul, after jour- neying through Switzerland and England, bluntly stated: Tt is bet ter to stay half as long and pay twice as much for accommoda- tions."
