Washington, Jan. 25.—While a wrestles vith an American Gent that our problem will solve it- colf ir few years and that she will then come into her own. Argentina expects to be the “fu- ture bread basket and future butch-/ er shop of the world.” Just now She feels that she is facing four or five years of hard sledding, though her farm problem certainly is not as acute as ours, but that the con- tinued industrialization of the United States is steadily strengthening the Argentine position in the meantime. In five years, the common belief here appears to ‘e, the United States. will have changed from an exporting agricultural country to an importing country; a new important customer teady some farm products are being exported to us and it is the Argen- tine expectation ‘hat we will in time become this country’s greatest cus- #8 The Argentine argues that the population of the United States is increasing steadily and that we are becoming more and more an indus- trial nation. The rural population while urban population in- creases and, anyway, nearly all culti- vable land in the United States is now being cultivated. Already our meat production is balancing with our consumption and prices have advanced consider- ably. We are on the way to large meat importations, to the Argentine viewpoint, which holds that the t point on grain ought to be done within five years. Argentine grain now competes with | pected that from the United States and Canada and the wheat price is fixed at Liverpool, but the people of this country hope rather wistfully for the f rfl : i $ 5 Hi fs rT i aut iy ef u i 5 E 5 4 f i S ral cond Ey for the Argentines.

At the moment there is no important dispute of an agricultural nature be- tween the United States and Argen- tina. although agitation for certain teriffs on products exported from here is likely to result in increased duties which would further annoy the rountry. It is well to remember, however, that the Argentine tariif 0°. canned goods and manufactured articles from the United States is very high. The fundamental farm problem in the Argentine appears to be found in the fact that 80 per cent of the ; cultivable land is still owped by large jhacienderos. The condition of peons and tenant farmers on these estates is often little better than serfdom. see | An immense amount of immigra- tion comes into the country and the government has tried, unsuccessful- ly, to rout it out onto te soil. The immigrants stick to the cities and the pampas are short of agricultural labor which is needed for the de- velopment of intensive farming throughout the agricultural regions. The same thing happened in the United States, but here ‘nearly all the immigrants are from southern Europe. Argentina dislikes to re- strict immigration as we did, because of the need of populating her farm region, but she may come to it. Meanwhile there is a probability that dent Irigoyen will continue Policies of his previous administra- tion di to make farm life more attractive for the poor. He is ex- to continue a program of agrarian reforms and do what he can to create a larger class of small farmers, of whom we have so many iin the United States. rebuff, tell excitedly of hearing a girl scream and the clatter of a “heavy instrument” as it fell to the floor, when they read in the papers the story of Crystal Hathaway's “strange Gisappearance.” If her calculations were accurate, Crystal told herself, the papers would be full of the story on Wednesday, after the failure of the “kidnappers” to claim the ran- som money that Bob placed in a garbage pail on the sidewalk in front of his home.
