PAGE TEN ‘ Editer’s Note: By RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) (Copyright, 1929, NEA Service, Inc.) Washington, Jan. 23.—The Argen- tine Republic is our biggest customer tn South America. With a third the area of the United States, she has a Population of over 10,000,000 and room for many millions more. She ls considered to have more tangible assets of wealth than any other na- tion, in proportion to size and popu- , tation. In 1928 her imports from the United States increased 10 per cent. {n 1913 Argentina bought twice as much from Britain as from us; now the margin is in our favor and Brit- ain’s relative position has suffered severely as Germany has regained her pre-war share of Argentine im- Ports sinee the war. One hears a great deal here about anti-American propaganda inspired by the British for trade purposes and one also hears denials. see The Argentinians themselves, how- ever, have been more independent in their relations with the United States than any other Latin-American peo- ple. They have not been disposed to accept dictation from Washington nor to heed advice when it don’t ap- peal to them. They have stood on their own feet, proud of their prog- ress, their wealth and the national- ism which they have developed. They have resented our claims to special rights in this hemisphere and have on occasion defended the claims of weaker republics based on sover- eignty. Argentina never has and never will bow willingly to any for- eign nation which adopts a dictator- ial attitude toward her. Anti-American demonstrations in Buenos Aires, however, may be traced to the large number of anarchists 's|tion and acreage devoted to the prin- ago. Export and import, Argentina looks forward to further rapidly in- United States. 4 idk HCDVER ix Latin America’ THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1929 'v NOY ONLY MEANS A WHOLE LOT YO MARY— MEN LIKE AUSSTINN ARE HARD YO FIND “TWAS STRICT WITH MARY = ANY Body IN ay HOME? 3 teel ufactures, cotton fabrics a NS A WHOLE ; and textiles, lumber, raw iron and SHE'S itt Bia ae THESE Lech a BUT IT MEA!

Argentine exports, principally, are corn, wheat, linseed, chilled and frozen beef, wool and hides. The big money crops are wheat and linseed and record crops are predicted for this year. American investment in Argentina is above $500,000,000 and steadily in- creasing. The British investment is larger, controlling the railroads among other properties, but Argen- tina is borrowing more and more money in New York to finance her development and our bankers are al- ways willing to lend. The country is bound to depend heavily on our cap- ital for some time to come. eee The big foreign customer is Eng- land, which ships back in return great quantities of textiles, railroad equipment, steel products and coal. British coal replaces Argentine grain on freight ships making the return trip. A billion dollars is said to have been invested thus far in manufac- turing industries in Argentina, which has employed some five per cent of the population and helped greatly toward the country self- sufficient. An increased cotton pro- duction is being used almost entirely by the domestic textile industry. The population is relatively small and concentrated in a few provinces. It is nearly all white.

That was all, but to Crystal, who had feared starvation, it seemed that the un- known had provided for her visit with Prodigal generosity. “I'm silly to cry,” she gasped, cling- ing weakly to a shelf of the cup- board. “But I know I'm wicked, wicked! And I don't deserve to be spared starvation.” She found a can opener in a shal- low drawer of the cupboard, and was only momentarily dashed by the dis- covery that there was no kerosene oil in the little two-burner oil stove. It was really rather an adventure to cook on an open fire. Since the rat MW GOLLY! HAVEN'T ‘Ya )NOPE, ( GUESS AloT! CEET WITH Your FLOCK / BUT I'LL BE ELYIN! OF ORDERS YET? SHUCKS!
