IU'KNOS A1KKS. Ihc. if Argon-1
titm has taken the lead in an effort. .
to persuade the South American re 1
publics to tear down their tarifl walls
and open themselves to free trade
among themselve arguing that such
action would make them commercially;
independent of other countries in Ku
rope and North Ameriea. This step
lias been taken in spite of the fact
that until now the Argentine’s princi
pal source of revenue has been its
customs bouses.
To show its sincerity, the Argentine
government has introduced a hill in
congress providing for the opening ot
diplomatic negotiations with all the
neighboring countries for the adop
tion of treaties providing for tin* free
exchange of the products of each
country concerned.
It is the desire, of Argentina to re
move the fiscal harriers which in the
past have estranged the nations of
South America and restricted com
merce bet ween them, making them,
dependent on overseas nations.
A year’s trial of free trade wrh
