‘ BETTER BOAT
FACILITIES FOR
SOOTH AMERICA
BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 22 (by Asso
* ciated Press).—American business
men in Argentina received with pleas
ure the announcement that the United
States Shipping Board had allotted
service between New York and South
American ports, including Buenos
L Aires. They have felt that they have
been struggling against a handicap,
owing to slow mail communication and
passenger transportation between the
United States and this country.
If the Americans here wanted to
send a letter to the United States they
knew that in the past it would require
thirty days for letters to reach New
York, and that frequently it would re
quire forty. To send a representative
to the United States on a business
mission would require three months
before the agent could return to Bu
enos Aires.
Meantime the American’s chance of
doing business has fallen into the
hands of a European competitor who
could communicate with his princi
pals by mail within three weeks. Fast
steamships have been arriving here
from European ports almost twice a
£ week, while the mail from the United
States came mostly by slow freight
ii
steamers.
One of the difficulties of which the
Americans here complained was the
delay ia receiving bills of lading for
goods sent from the United States to
Argentina. This was due to the fact
that the bills could not be sent on
jfche steamer which carried the goods
and there were few fast steamers to
bring them here at the time the goods
arrived. When the bill of lading was
sent on a slow ship the goods were
held in the customs house here until
she arrived.
On the other hand, bills of lading
on goods shipped from England came
through on fast steamers, which often
arrived here before the goods were re
ceived.
The Americans here say that cable
communication to the United States
costs 53 cents a word, and that the
capacity of the cables is trebly over
taxed.

Press).—Legislation before congress
affecting the meat-packing industry
•will be discussed at the twenty-third
V annual convention of the American Na

lands; administration of national for
ests; possible reduction in number of
head of stock permitted on the na
tional forests; trails, driveways, etc.;
the 640-acre stock-raising homestead
hill; grazing in national parks.
“Railroad legislation and service;
threatened advance in railroad rates;
shortage of stock cars.
“Exports of live stock and its prod
ucts; probable European demand for
meat products; imports from other
surplus countries; necessity for im
port duties on live stock and meats.
^ “Prohibition of importation of live
stock and meats from countries where
contagious diseases exist; eradication
of animal diseases.
“Service at markets; licensing of
stockyards and commission men; work
of the bureau of markets; appropria
tions for the bureau of animal indus
try.”
The agreement of the five big pack
ers to confine their activities to meat
*and by-products, butter, eggs, poultry
and condensed milk, and to refrain

GOLF ASSOCIATION TO
MEET IN NEW YORK
NEW YORK, Jan. 22 (by Associated
Press).—Many matters of vital im
portance to American golfers who are
looking forward to a brilliant season
throughout the country in 1920 w.'ll
be discussed and passed upon at the
annual meeting of the United States
Golf Association, which will be held
in this city. The assignment of the
national amateur “open” and wom
en’s championship tournaments will
be one of the principal items on the
program. International interest, how
ever, will center in the appointment
of a representative committee to con
fer with British officials for the pur
pose of bringing about a universal un
derstanding of rules governing the
gsftne. A great deal of correspondence
has taken place for some time past be
tween the American and British golf
governing bodies, and the reading of
some of the communications may
prove both instructive and interest
ing to the assembled delegates.
