_.. TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1929 Latin America By RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) (Copyright, 1929, NEA Service, Inc.) Washington, Jan. 22—There is ro- Mance on the pampas of the Argen- tine, but it is the romance of the plow and of waving fields of grain rather than of the dashing gaucho whose type has been resurrected by Valen- tino and Douglas Fairbanks. The picturesque, romantic, native cowboy died off long ago and offers even less material for the novel and the movies than our own cowboys of today. The vaquero, as the pampas cow man is known rides a trick saddle and swings a mean lasso, but he is only @ peon on horseback. The people of the pampas are divided into two classes: the few wealthy estancia owners and the peons who do all the work. By peons, one does not mean victims of the system as the term is gen- of bullocks and a few pigs for a long spell of sausages. PEveryone in a tenant farmer's family works hard. Here a boy of 18 is likely to pppear to be a man of 30. Boys of 12 are to be seen pushing plows and tenant farmers spend much time and labor in a continual fight against Pests. ‘ But although some immigrants are willing to adopt this kind of life, most of them stay at Buenos Aires, where a few by hard work, brains and luck, become millionaires. Pampas mean plains. This region is comparable to our own grain belt and its development is following along the same lines. It produces wheat, corn and cattle. Physically, it is a broad, vast area of treeless, grass- covered plain with enough water and rainfall to permit grain growing, up to the point where the western and southern fringes resolve first into fields fit only for sheep grazing and then mere desert. In the north ts the wooded Chaco region, its forests as yet untapped through lack of railroads. With mil- lions of acres of highly productive lands, the pampas have become the most highly developed section of South America. They still have the great possibil- ities for further development, al- though Europe’s demand for grain -|has long since begun a development the unskilled farm laborer. eee Life seldom holds much for the peon. He lives meanly, without the comforts, good treatment or pay of ® farmhand in the United States. similar to that of our own grain states in the last Fd years. Railroads or highways eventually will be built into the great unoccu- pied and undeveloped regions; the flatness of the country is inviting for such projects. At the moment, how- ever, a campaign for a national high- way system is being opposed by Brit- ish interests controlling the Argentine , | railroads. In towns along the rail- road across the pampas from the Andes, one observed far more bricks and much less mud in house con- struction than the Hoover party had seen in other rural sections of South . | America. And many automoibles. But in the long stretches between, along- side cultivated acres, there were ducks, flamingoes, ostriches, geese and other wild birds more difficult , | to identity. Pure-bred stock has been intro- duced to enrich the cattle herds and has thus increased Argentine wealth, due to demands of American and British packing plants which wanted more meat on their animals. There are no grain elevators now, but the government is planning to erect some. It is also trying to re- duce freight rates, which would help | Argentine grain growers.

Many of these are small places with a small following, who jeal- ously hide their secret from the rest of the world lest it grow “popular” and go into the decline that so often results from over popularity. Where a small and jealous group is thus entrenched, the arrival of the “cog- noscenti” is resented. For some time Monetta’s was the favorite resort of the Park Row newspaper celebrities. But now, as they say, it has “fallen to the mob.” athan was seen there a few weeks ago and the “regulars” are finding their exclusiveness invaded. Cheffard’s was another little place, featuring French cooking, which for a long time was frequented by a small group of gastronomic ex- perts. Then, one day, a New York cartoonist “discovered” it, and drew & picture about it for his paper. With in a few weeks this cartoon had been reprinted on the menu cov- er and all the “trailers” were arriv- ing to look it over. There are hundreds such places tucked away in New York—thou- sands for that matter—and here the foods of the world may be found. GILBERT SWAN. (Copyright, 1929, NEA Service, Inc.)
