By the Associated Press. BUENOS AIRES, January 2—Mu- tual declarations of warm friendship between the United States and Ar- gentina and the exchange of toasts to Presidents Wilson and Irigoyen marked brief addresses of Senor Torello, acting foreign minister, and by, American Secretary tate, at a banquet here tonight. Members of the Argentine cabinet and of Mr. Colby's party were pres- ent. Mr. Colby, who visited Brazil and Uruguay as a personal emissary of President Wilson, returning official visits, described his call here as that of “only an admiring and appreciative uest passing a few brief hours in our midst, but long enough to de- ver a message of the friendship and good will T bear you. He referred to many things which “tend to sow misunderstandings.” in- cluding the whole people to serve his sordid ends.” He declared that better way to counteract these regret- table tendencies than an open mect- ing, face to face, of disinterested and responsible spokesmen of friendly peoples, the encouragement of every form of intercourse, and frequent and intimate official and unotficial ex- changes between them.” Calls Courtesies Token. Senor Torello described as forgettable token of frienship” the courtesies extended by the States during the war, when she of- fered an escort of war vessels to_the Argentine battleship Rivadavia dur- ing_a visit of that vessel to the Unijted States on an important mis- sion. Mr. Colby's departure has been fixed for Monday night, when he will board the Uruguayan _cruiser Uruguay, which has arrived to convey him to the battleship Florida, which Is wait- ing off Montevideo. The Uruguay will be escorted by the Argentine cruiser Libertad, bearing many representa- tives of Th. cruisers i a the Florida departs for the United States. The friendship_uniting Argentina and the United States is more than “banal sentiment,” says La Epoca, the official government organ, in an edi- torial welcoming Mr. Colby. Example to Follow. Situateq in extreme South Amer- ica, the newnpaper continues, 'we have always directed our glance to the far north with the certainty of finding there a live, robust, loyal and advanced support for us, as for all nations which have arisen from eman- cipating revolutions. From the begin- ning of the past century the North American federation has constantly furnished us an example to follow. First in cemonstrating the possibility of the existence of a strong and vigorous nation politically organized as a democratic representative . re public, the United States has had suc cessive valuable experiences of which we have taken advantage with evi- dent profit. “We expect much from the visit of Mr. Colby and we believe we will gain much knowing each other better.” Secretary Colby was asked a series of questions by La Epocha, particu- larly regarding Argentina's w drawal from the league of nations. His answer to this question is quoted as follows: “The United States has for more than a century adhered to a position in favor of the entire and unqualified self-competence of the republics on the western hemisphere and pursues such a policy as regards the deliber- ate judgment of their governments and peoples. We, accordinly, were pre- pared to accept Argentina's action whether it coincided or not with our - | own opinion.

Action by the United States in connection with the independence of Panama would be dealt with in the treaty, he said, as the convention will represent the frank and unconcealed efforts of the United States to assuage the feelings of Colombia, toward which the Unite: States entertains the friendliest feel- ings.” The treaty was intended, he declared, to be a “contribution by the United States to the great cause of pan-American solidarity. Touching the question of exchange between the United States and Argen- tina, Mr. Colby explained the apparent advantage in the exchange situation was really injurious to North Amer- ican trade, since it reduces buying by raising prices. He said the United States was making all possible efforts to solve the problem. The condition that exists at present was declared to be the outgrowth of normal trade and production and the result of the war nd the United States was said to be ‘cudgling her brain and having re- course to every expedient ingenuity can €uggest to correct the disparity.” Episcopalian Bishop Also Warns Reformers to Be Practical. BOSTON, January 3.—A tribute to Cardinal Gibbons and a warning to reformers to cope with present-day problems in a practical and humble fashion Wwere contained in the New Year message aelivered by Bishop William Lawrence (Episcopal) at t. Paul's Cathedral yesterday. “The idea that supreme Christians must serious, antagonizing and stirring up things, is_wrong,” said Bishop Law- rence. “Christ won his way full of truth_and grace. Let.us work out our Christian problems in humble, impersonal acts.” Referring to the serious illness of Cardinal Gibbons, the bishop said: “He represents a great Christian Church and has been a consistent spokesman for his church throughout years of great problems in both na- tional and international affairs. He always has been full of grace and truth. He has dwelt among the peo- ple and earned their high regard and affection. Should he pass to the beyond he will always live in our memory as a man of grace and truth.” —_— Submarines are forbidden to Ger- by the terms of the peace Notice of offices to ground floor of ARGENTINE PLEDGE ”" mpalpable and sinister activity of the propagandist who is willing to deceive and embitter a “there is no Abe Martin Says: \ U Al Moon is at home from th’ school of experience an’ has d"»l cided t’ stay on th’ farm. mer Swank, who voted fer a change, wuz let out at th’ saw miil t'day.

Wyo., fleld, the report says, and the investigation later was broadened to include the entire region. “There is greater concentration in the control of the production of crude petroleum in the Wyoming oil fields than in any other ficld in the United States.” says the report. which adds that the only other crude oil produc- tion in the region is the compara- tively small production in Colorado. “The Midwest Refining interests,’ the report continues, “are controlled by the Standard Oil Company of In- diana_through contracts which ex- pire January 1, 1934. Standard com- panies now "control the bulk of the crude petroleum produced in Wyom- ing. The Ohio company, a Standard company, has the largest owned pro- duction’in the state, and in addition to this controls considerable quanti- ties through working agreements. Admitted Standard interests and the Ohio company control about 93 to 97 per cent of the total production. Two Standard controlled companies. the Midwest Refining -Company and the Illinois Pipe Line Company, are said by the commission to transport from 97 to 98 per cent of all crude petroleum marketed in Wyoming. —_— TWO HURT BY EXPLOSION.
