Argentine Competition

Tfc ia estimated by Mr Shaw Lefevre in a recent arciole in the ' Nineteenth Gen tury'that about two hundred and fifty millions of British capital have been in' TOBted in Argentine. Railways, tramways, wharfs, shops, farms and estancias, are very largely owned by British investors, and the valuable steamship linen which run from Buenoa Ayres to Liverpool are among the bast managed to be found anywhere iv the world. The railways are described as being up to the bast American standard, and fir superior to anything that) can be found in Australia. Competition between rival routes ia co keen that the comfort of the passenger, and the BtiH more important essential of low rates of freight for goeds, are stuiied in a way that is praotioally impossible ia Austra'ia. The great draw' backs to which ihe Argentine is subject are the political nnresb which prevails, the debased monetary standard, the mix 1 ture of recea among bho cultivators of the soil, the poor quality of the work done by a certain proportion of the labourers, and the comparatively low type of live stock from which breeders have to evolve their imptoved strains. Last, but ndfc least, must be enumerated the iicklensssof the Geatons, which are hardly any more trust worthy than those of Australia. Millions of sheep were drowned by floods laab year, and this loss, together with the death? from foot and mouth disease, and the consequent decrease in the lambing per ceutage, U said to have been responsible for a shortage of ten millions in the fl)cks. Many estanoia owners have been ruiued, but on tha other hied the wheat crop in moat parts of the Republic was good. The Bri ish Commission for the purchase of horses for South Africa bought twentyfive thousand remounts last year. Mr Shaw Lefevre, when he visited the Argentine, saw one estate which was as lar#e as an English County, and which was worked by sixty Englishmen and two hundred and fifty employees of other nationalises, including Italians, Barques, Frenchmen, Germans, and Russians, the latter be ng apparently religious refugees. These are the men against whom the Australian farmer and the Australian etockowner have to compete io the world's matketet

THE ASHBUETOfI GUARDIAN J; WEDfIIBDAY, FEBRUARY 1% 19(2,



The Pro-Bock of Old-History has repeated itself in "the production of the Pro.Boer element. This is what) Southoy said of the political machinations of the time of the Peninsular war :—The Foxites, from the beginning of the war, through ail its changes had uniformly taken pirt agalnet their country ; consistent in this and nothing else, they had alwaya sided wi'-h the enemy, pleading his cause, palliating his crimes, extolling his wisdom, magnifying hia power, vilifying and accusing their own Govern' ment, depreciating its resources, impeding its measures, insulting its allies, calling for disclosures which do Government ought to make, and forcing them sometimes from the weakness and the mistaken liberality of their opponents. Buoßapsrte, aa Washington had done before him, raiied upon their »>al and virulence; and they by their speeches and writings served him more effectually upon the Continent and in France itself than all the manifestoes of his ministers, and the diatribes of hia own Press.



Free I aw— A proposal has emanated from Mr EG Jeilicoe, of Wellington, and 1b embodied in a circular addressed by him to Ministers of the Grown and others, for the establishment of a Free Law Office in that city, having for its object (a) the giving of legal advice free of charge, and (b) the affording of a field for yonng lawyetß for acquiring practice and eklll in their profession. Mr Jeilicoe points ont that the idea Is nob new, having been adopted with the best effects in New York, London, Glasgow and Edinburgh., and he thinks that progressive New Zeakod ought nob to be behindhand in the matter. He suggests that the manage ment of the Law Dispensary should be Y69ted in a boird of at least six directors and executive officers ; that) membership shall be constituted by payment of a small annual fee or a lump sum for life member™ shif 5 that the dispensary be opened on fixed' days daring each week; that at least six lawyers be appointed to attend to give advice with two consulting counsel of at least fifteen years' standing, one lawyer to be appointed to attend for at least two months aba time j and that no fee of any kind be charged or taken. He thinks thati such an institution aa Is proposed would supply a fitting outlet for the benevolent feeling and operations of lawyers, and vfoulci commend itself to the Ifoerall'y of cltiptia.
