Argentina Is Rich In Food
And War Vital Materials

considerable amounts of canned
meat. Wool, hides, linseed, dairy
products, and tanning extract from
the "ax-breaker'' wood, quebracho,
are other important items on COM
modify.
Drastic cuts in continental Eu-
ropes markets have been some
what compensated for by increas-
ed Argentine trade with other
Latin-American countries, with
neutral Sweden and Switzerland,
the Union of South Africa, and
Spain. Argentina's books for 1912
showed the highest export trade
balance, in value, since 1887.
Although stock raising and farm
ing are still the life blood of Ar
gentina's national economy, city
building industry has grown rapid
~ in recent years. 1t is an odd
geographic fact that this nation
of vast ranches and horizon
reaching grain fields is also one
Of big cities. Nearly half its peo-
pie live in centers Of more than
100, 900 inhabitants.
Busy, brilliant Buenos Aires,
capital, chief seaport, and cultural
heart of the nation, has nearly two
and a half million inhabitants
Counting it's suburban satellites,
it holds some three and a half
million people, or roughly one
quarter of the entire population
OF the country
Buenos Aires contains about one
third of Argentina's more than So

try 1t is natural outgrowth of
the strikingly favorable conditions
fer cattle and sheep raising, plus
the development of refrigeration,
which revolutionized the industry
by making it possible to export

ducts. Flour and textile mills, SUI

cessing plants, tanning and shoe
manufacturing establishments in

wherever possible? Leaders OF small banks
feel that Federal loans in peacetlme wnen
private funds are available represent an en-
croachment on private enterprise and mean
the beginning of the downfall OF small banks
Such lending, they said at a recent wartime
banking meeting, was assumed to be tenn
porary episode, to cease with the end of the
emergency
Here, as in all other matters affecting the
nations business, the United States is con-
fronted by the governments increasing over

the banks may be, or how capable they are
of meeting the financial needs of the people
hamstrung by the bureaucrats.

Postwar Banking Situation

The present condition of the nations banks
is vastly better than when the 1929 depression
was at its worst. For example, and in, col
trast to bank failures in the depression, de-
posts in the 5000 national banks at the end
of last June was just under $48, 900, 900, 900.
On December 1, 1913, another billion dollars
had been added, bringing the total up to ap-
proximately $4,000, 100000. Today they hold
about so per cent of the federal outstanding
debt obligations George Ericsson one Of the
countrys outstanding financial reporters finds
in this reason to say their portfolios ARE
about the soundest in history"
Obviously the banks are in position to have
a prominent role in reestablishins industry
and business on a firm foundation in the
postwar period. but what their role will be
after the victory has been won cannot b.
determined by the banks alone. Mr.. Ericsson
observes:
THAT is a problem which will depend fo
its solution in large part upon the action o
Federal agencies. Will the Government lend
ing bureaus compete more actively with pri
vate organizations in the making OF loans
especially in small town and country areas
Or will the Federal authorities agree tina
private banks should preempt credit deman

Higher Cotton Prices

Although there is some possibility Of set
back in the price of cotton in case of an
early peace in Europe, the United Business
Service foresees that the reduced supply of
'free' cotton and large civilian demand for
all kinds Of cotton goods, plus the needs in
war-torn areas, will make for higher prices.
This, says the service, will probably become
apparent by the second half of 1914
Cotton markets have been attracting more
than the usual amount of trade interest re-
Gently due to the fact that raw cotton is one
Of the few items still free Of price ceilings.

Daily Prayer
FOR GRACE TO PRAY

All our expectation is from
Thee, O Heavenly Father; and we
reproach ourselves that we are
not more practiced in prayer. In
ol& deepest spirits we look over
to Thee for the fulfillment of our
greatest needs; yet we do not oft
en- enough present our petitions be-
fore Thee. We cry, like Christ's
disciples of old. Lord, teach us
to pray" Teach us to pray King
dom prayers; teach us to pray
reverent, worshipful prayers;
teach us to pray for daily pro-
vision for our bodies and for our
spirits: teach us to pray in a for
giving spirit; teach us to pray for
Thy will and Thy glory; teach us
to pray for our Country and her
forces. Save us from smallness
and selfishness in prayer. when
we were too busy with our petty
concerns to remember Thee. Thou.
with universe to govern, vert
not too busy to remember us"
Forgive our forgetfulness, and our
failure to pray without ceasing.
Grant us grace to pray wisely,
humbly, faithfully, that We may
know the peace and improvement
that can come only from Thee
Amen.-W.TE.

Argentina, the last Latin Amer.
;can country to break off rela-
tons with the Axis, is a nation
OF more than thirteen and half
million people, rich in food re-
sources and valuable raw mater.
Ials, says the. National Geogra.
'phic Society,", ....5
: Ranking after Brazil, Argentina
is South Americas second larg-
est republic. 1t covers an area
Ct more than a million square
miles. Its long coastline, overlook
ing the war-vital traffic lanes OF
the South Atlantic, extends for
more than 1000 miles.
The bulk of Argentina's foreign
tt AIDE is already ranged on the
side of the United Nations-the
result of economic agreements
made through Great Britain and
the United States, and the war
time blockade against Nazi-occu-
pied Europe and Japan.
In August, 1943 Britain negotiat-
ed for the United Nations con-
tract providing for a million and
half tons of Argentine beef, as
well as nearly 450,OO0,00O eggs,
and large supplies of dairy pro-
ducts. The United States has ar
ranged to buy in the name of the
United Nations, Argentinas entire
exportable surplus of sunflower-
seed oil, and shelled peanuts from
the 1943-44 crop.
Foreign trade figures since the
outbreak of both the European
and Asiatic wars have indicated
certain economic relations between
Argentina and Germany, Italy, and
Japan. Although imports into Ar
gentina from Italy and Tapan
fell sharply between 1941 and 1912,
those from Germany showed a
slight increase. But the increas-
cd figures, less than $1,750,000 is
extremely small compared with
prewar German-Argentine trade.
During the first ten months OF
1913, Argentina's import-export
trade with all three belligerents
took a steep tumble. Argentina's
imports from Germany, for ex-
ample, fell to value of only
$40, $50; exports to Germany were
less than $7,750. Exports to Italy
completely disappeared. Japan's
i943 purchases were listed as Lit.
tie more than $1,750, as against
pre-Pearl Harbor high figure Q94D
of more than 5000 times that
amount.
1t must be remembered also that
these wartime trade figures are
subject to special qualifications.
While some of the Axis traffic
slipped past the blockade, the ma
jor proportion of the business rep
resented goods already in Argen-
tine warehouses but recorded only
or later Withdrawals. In addition,
the figures included supplies per-
mltLeQ passage Dy the Allies De-
cause of prewar commitments, or
shipped later by way of neutral
ports.
Normally, Argentina depends
largely on Europe for its export
markets and for many of its ne
cessary imports. Britain is the
big buyer, especially of Argentine
teef, corn and wheat, with Ger

ADVERTIsEMENT
The Coolidge examiner., 1944-09-15

also far more extensive and short
ages more serious.
While farmers are determined to
keep up their excellent work, they
are also getting ready to meet con-
ditions as they will be after the
war. They know that many re-
adjustments are going to be needed
and they want to be prepared.
Already they are doing much to
help keep farm conditions sound.
They are making improvements
wherever possible and these i'm
provements have been the main
cause of the outstanding results
which farmers have achieved this
year, as well as in other recent
years. They have been using bet
ter seeds, hybrid corn, rust-resist-
ant wheat, new varieties of oats and
barley, more productive hay crops,
as well as superior strains and
breeds in livestock and poultry.
They have tried more earnestly to
concentrate production in those
areas where each crop grows best.
At the same time they have kept
both crops and livestock well di-
versified in order to maintain prop
er balance.
Skill in management has also re-
suited In better farming practices
such as improved planning in the
rotation of crops, contour planting
and cultivation, terracing. to pre-
vent erosion, and strip cropping.
They have planted more legumes
for soil building and, under the soil
conservation program of recent
years, have been plowing up more
acres of green manure crops to
make the soil more productive.
Farmers who have followed these
practices have been getting larger
The Coolidge examiner., 1944-09-15

crops from their land and they are
also making the best possible prep
aration for the postwar period.
Farmers are also using larger
incomes wisely in reducing their
indebtedness. Many have paid off
all their mortgages and others have
reduced them far more rapidly than
their schedule of payments re-
quired. Some new mortgages have
been contracted as farmers have
bought more land but in spite Of
these additions the total mortgage
Indebtedness on farms has declined
more than 20 per cent during the
last four years. The current trend
is opposite from that during World
War l, when mortgage indebted
ness more than doubled and became
a heavy burden on many farmers
during that postwar period. Wise
financing now is doing much to
avoid those losses this time.
Farmers are likewise preparing
for postwar by investing much of
their larger incomes. Last year
they bought over $1,000, 900, 600
worth of war bonds and they are
holding these bonds. Their percent
age Of cash-ins is only about one
eighth of the national average. Saw
ings OF farmers are also indicated
by the rise in deposits of the banks
in agricultural regions. These de-
posits have doubled during the last
four years.
In another way farmers are act
ing wisely now in order to be bet
ter prepared for the postwar
changes. They are trying to avoid
a land boom such as took place 25
years ago when prices sky-rocketed
and later crashed with resulting
heavy losses for many farmers.
Land prices have been going up
about Is per cent last year-but
many indications point toward more
stable prices now. Prospects are
more promising that farmers will
not overbuy, nor pay prices for
farms which cannot be supported
by normal prices for crop and live
stock.
Prudence and good judgment will
help not only the farmers, but also
the entire country during the post
war period. Much has already been
done and more is going to be ac-
complshed.
In spite of rationing and other re-
strictions due to the war, the mer-
chants in the rural areas report in
creased sales, and the trend is def
nitely upward. People are making
more of their purchases at local
stores instead of visiting the larger
trading centers.
Total output of factories is lit
tie higher than even the high rate
Of a year ago. 1t is about double
the rate which prevailed at the
outbreak of the war in Europe.
Indications are that both agricul-
ture and industry will remain at
high levels.
