This is only a rejiort, for the presi

However, the report concerning the
president-elect's financial studies
rests on excellent authority.
Though times are hard in Argen
tina, the country, from a money
standpoint, is basically in an excellent*
condition. It has one of the largest
gold reserves, proportionately, of any
country in the world.
Irigoyen is said to believe, however,
that the South American republics
will face a situation of grave stress at
the end of the war in Kurope which,
presumably, will come some time
early in his administration.

Argentina must be encouraged.
That is. though the country has
money enough and immense potential
resources, it has a population of only
7,000,000 to developc an available agri
cultural territory almost as large as
the whole area drained by the Missis
sippi and Missouri rivers.
