First, was the “open letter” sent by Prsiden Irigoyen to the Hon. Viscount d’Abernon, head of the British Trade Mission to Argentina (and other countries), announcing with dramatic sudden flourish Iri- goyen’s.“ of, economic cooperation between the republic and Great Britain” which is publishedalongside. The British mission’s success has even causcd rumors of a possible new trip to Latin America by President Hoover. This agreement, in a lengthy re- countal of six points, gives a two- year ¢redit of $100,000,000 mutually, the Argentine government drawing on London for purchases of British material for Argentine railways “and other national depaxgments.” The British government, turn, may draw “against delivery of ship- ping document.” and acquire direct- ly from Argentin: producers at mar- ket price whatever Argentine pro- ducts are \-anted in Britain.

The sheriff is not to be placed on trial for the killing.
