ton now in effect in the Argentine
Republic was drawn up. It's framing
is attributed in great part to Al
berdi. The reforms of 1860 did not
alter the political aspect OF the
country; on the contrary, they gave
1t its definite expression. If North
American institutional thought had
been influencing the independence.
at first, and the constitutional proc
ess, later, this influence endured as
time went on. Sarmiento's stay in
the United States, where he lived
some years, was the deciding factor.
Enamoured of North American
methods in matters Of education,
when he returned to his country
he imposed on it the same love
for education, for science, for faith
in scientific investigation, which
gives its own attractive character
to American education and culture.
And even Velez Sarfield, who drew
up the Argentine Civil Code, turned
to the fountain-head of the works
of the North American Astor in
realizing his task.
DR.. Martinez Paz, in winding up
his erudite words, brought out a
logical and eloquent conclusion: IF
two peoples are constituted on the
same foundation. they show a SINH
lar nature and the same passion in
the defense of common ideals. These
two great peoples are the Federal
Argentine Republic and the Federal
Republic Of the United States"

Brook land Citizens Back
Overfon-Hunfer Bill

The Overton- Hunter bill to deter
mine the annual Federal share of
District expenses was indorsed last
night by the Brookland Citizens
Association as a major mearls Of
obtaining necessary additional rev.
enue. Any increase in District real
estate taxes WAS opposed.
The Overton- Hunter bill would
fix the Federal share by the ratio
of Federally-owned land to the total
area of the District.
Supplementing the Endorsement,
Marvin M. Mclean introduced a
three-point plan OF other possible
means of raising revenue. which the
association approved. The sugges-
tions were an increase of taxes on
public utilities, adoption of a gen.
eral sales tax, with exemptions on
sale Of food and medicine, and a re-
form of income tax assessments, de-
signed to eliminate the present large
number of exemptions in the Dis
trict.

pendence. He explained the process
had been antagonistic; two opposing
tendencies clashing over long
period of time, not only on the
ground of principles, but on the
field of battle as well.
Buenos Aires, capital of the ris-
ing republic, with its European style
politicians, refined in culture and
champion of unitary thought, was
rooted in French philosophy, he
said. The provinces, on the other
hand, held out for the Federalist
idea, having its inspiration In the
new political doctrines of the United
States, DR.. Paz said. This latter
tendency, in the judgment of DR..
Martinez Paz, was the genuine ex-
preston of the Argentine, of its col
lective sentiments. 1t Is true its
principal exponents were divers
caudillos, some few military men,
not possessing the same rich ldeolo-
gy, the same refinement of the poll
ticians of Buenos Aires. The latter

taken from books, and not those OF
the Argentine people. The latter, on
the other hand, wanted the fedora
ton and in order to obtain it did
not weaken in their perseverance for
half a century.
Epoch of Upheavals.
This political struggle, ardent and
even inf1ammatory, meant a whole
epoch of upheavals and even ma
tional disunity for ths nation. One
of the constitutions drawn up at
that time, the Constitution OF 1926,
work of the Congress of 1924. was
a "unitary" constitution, similar in
purpose to preceding constitutions,
which attempted to impose on the
country a strong centralized power.
Paul Groussac, noted French writer
living in BuenoS Aires, has said OF
it that it was perfect charter"
with a single defect: 1T was born
dead" 1t did not have, according
to DR.. Martinez Paz, the living
breath of the federation. Up to
1853, the capital and the provinces
did not give way in their obstinate
clashes.
Every attempt at unity and con-
stitutionalist unitary thought which
was shown by the capital and its
politicians was rejected by the prov
inces. Among their bosses was
Dorrego. He was a visitor at that
time in the United States. Dorrego
was an enemy of Rivadavia in the
Congress of 1924 DR.. Martinez Paz
summarized the central idea of his
discussion by saying: Our organi-
zation is a struggle in which the
principle of North American fed
Grafton is debated"
The provinces triumphed at last
over the capital and many, unitary
politicians were converted to the
federal idea. In 1853, the constitu-

GENERAL LEE SAYS SEWARD TO BE BUSY
Army Officers Arrive on DC-3 to Prepare for
 Summer Rush

The largest tonnage ever to be landed at Seward will be docked there this summer said Brigadier General c. H. Lee, Commander of Ports of Embarkation for the Pa cific Coast, last night shortly after arriving from Seattle on the PAA Douglas DC-2. With Gen. Lee is Major R. H. Wylie, Superintendent of the Army Transport Service.
 The two Army officers left their headquarters at Fort Mason, Cali fornia, to fly on a hurried trip to inspect facilities at Seward for the coming summers rush on con- struction materials and supplies for the Army Air Bases at Anchorage and Fairbanks.
 Promoted to General
 Gen. Lee was formerly Col. Lee and was in Juneau last summer when an Army Douglas Dolphin the largest amphibian plane of its kind, landed by flare at Aux Bay from Anchorage. The Army man has since been promoted in rank to Brigadier General.
 The General and Major Wylie left Juneau this morning on the northbound DC-3 for Fairbanks where they will stay for one day before continuing by either plane or by rail to Seward. They will return to their California head quarters via Juneau before April Is.
 Change Terminus
 Asked about the proposed change of terminus of the Alaska Railroad from Seward to Passage Canal, the General said: T have made up my mind on that long time ago." He pointed out that all that was nec- essary for the passage of the bill was approval of the Senate and the signing by the President.
 He said that most of the ship ping done to Seward this summer will be done by Army transports or chartered vessels.
