xiritain's recent negotiation of a
treacle` treaty with Argentina, and Can

the River Plate, are other indications
pf ,the Britisii endeavor to take every
possible advantage of the growing
commercial opportunities in South

strong `rnovenieiit originated by 'the
Powerful Argentine Rural Society,
composed largely of the wealthy
ranchers and farmers of Argentina, to'
encourage the buying of goods from
those who buy from the Argentine Re-

Canadian and British business.
