Recently restricted trade relations
between the United States and Ar
gentina have taken another turn, ac
cording to dispatches from Buenos
Aires, indicating that Uncle Sam is
about to sell more pleasure cars and
trucks to the South American coun
try. Under a new agreement with
the Argentine government, U. S.
auto and truck concerns are report
ed to have signed up for more than
$3,000,000 worth of Argentine treas
ury notes in return for permission
to export cars and trucks to Argen
tina in an equivalent amount.
Argentina is usually one of Uncle
Sam’s best customers in the auto
motive field. In the first three
months of this year, however, a
sharply curtailed quota on United
States cars, together with other
trade restrictions, resulted in a drop
of nearly 50 per cent in all U. S.
exports to the Argentine.
Trade Balance Upset.
In the first quarter of 1938, the
United States sold Argentina a bill
of goods amounting to more than
$24,000,000; but in the correspond
ing period of 1939 U. S. exports
amounted to less than 12% million
dollars. Imports of Argentine prod
ucts to the United States, on the
other hand, went up from about 12%
million dollars for the first quarter
of 1938 to something over $18,000,000
this year.
These figures show a reversal of
the previous trade situation between
the United States and 'Argentina.
For in 1938 Argentina bought from
the United States more than twice
as much as she sold here—a con
dition attributed then to heavy Ar
gentine purchases of machinery and
vehicles.
In addition to automobiles, trucks,
and farm implements, Argentina
normally takes from Uncle Sam im
portant shipments of American mo
tion picture films, steel, chemicals,
office equipment, and building ma
terials. In return she sells chiefly
linseed, wool, casein, hides, corn,
quebracho logs, and preserved
meats.
Competitors in World Markets.
A constant and important feature
of economic relations between the
United States and Argentina is the
fact that they both raise for ex
port many of the same products—
for example, wheat and corn, beef
and mutton, hides and wool.
The United States itself provided
much of Argentina’s tools and fa
cilities for the large-scale production
that was to make her in time a
serious competitor in world mar
kets. From the industrial plants of
the north came plows, seeders, har
vesters and tractors, together with
forests of windmills that now rise
from one end of the Argentine plains
to the other, pumping up life-giving
wa.er for the herds, for small towns,
for plantation crops, gardens, and
shrubbery. American packing com
panies moved down to fatten cattle
on their own ranches. Seed wheat
from Kansas was even exported, to
be turned later into still more com
petition in the world grain markets.
Foreign Capital Built Railroads.
Foreign capital, also exported to
Argentina, brought the railways,
over which the products of the vast,
flat and fertile fields are now raced
to port and thence to market over
seas.
With millions of yards of imported
wire, the great feudal-like estates of
the Argentine pampas were fenced
in. Settlers came, mostly Italians,
Spaniards, Englishmen and Irish
men, with a sprinkling of Poles,
Germans, Syrians, and others. Prize
bulls and blooded stock replaced the
wild herds that once roamed these
Texaslike plains that stretch for
more than a million square miles
east of the southern Andes. A live
stock census gave Argentina in 1937
a cattle population of 33,000,000
head; some 44,000,000 sheep.
Packing plants, grain elevators,
and huge refrigeration systems
came into being. Today Argentina
has the world’s largest refrigerating
plant. She exports more beef than
any other country, most of it going
to Great Britain. She supplies over
two-thirds of the world’s linseed and
more than half of its corn. In wheat
export, she ranks after Canada; in
shipments of lamb and mutton, aft
er New Zealand and Australia.

Hungary’s first secret ballot in
nearly 20 years—resulting in a
strong government majority as well
as increased Nazi representation in
parliament—calls attenti ,.i to a na
tion which has seen three opposing
forms of government in little more
than two decades.
Revolution immediately after the
World war changed Hungary from a
monarchy into a republic. This was
followed soon after, in 1919, by the
establishment of a Soviet state,
which gave way, in 1920, before
counter-revolution which brought
back the status of monarchy.
In the absence of a king, Hun
gary since then has been ruled by a
regent. An admiral without a fleet.
REGENT. Nicholas Horthy, ad
miral without a fleet, runs a king
dom without a king. Since 1920
Hungary has been ruled by this
type of government.
this regent, Nicholas Horthy, runs a
country without a seacoast and a
kingdom without a king.
He also is the head of a nation
which is without a large section oi
its previous territory and popula
tion.
Dislike Peace Terms.
Rebellious at the terms of peace
which, lopping off both mountair
borders and fertile plrins, cut hex
to roughly ore-third of her former
area and population, Hungary has
since refused to accept the boun
daries as final. Hungarian flags
fly at half-mast in mourning for the
lost territories; window designs,
street car posters, restaurant signs,
and children’s games show maps ol
former Hungary compared with her
present reduced state. School exer
cises keep the question continually
before the young. There have even
been stamps, postcards and buttons
issued with the Hungarian national
slogan, “Will we remain as we
are?” answered by the words, “No,
No, Never!”
With an economy balanced before
the World war between timber, min
eral, stock, and farm production,
Hungary after her reduction becamf
almost entirely agricultural.

offering the mansion to “Father” Divine, Negro cult leader, as a “heaven” for his followers. The Negro

previous to making a successful test dive in the salt water of the Hudson
river in Yonkers, N. Y. Connett, in his homemade sub, has made ap

Police Close ‘Human Slave Market’
Photographers had to be alert to get this view of America’s most
novel matchmaking establishment, “The Human Slave Market,” for
immediately after bids got under way. Palisades, N. J., police stepped in
and sent six people to jail on the charge of maintaining a nuisance. Here
the auctioneer is asking for bids on a young man, an elderly gentleman
and a young girl. The idea of the “market” was to offer marriageable
subjects on the block.

“Let courage rise with danger.”
Such is the plea of Webb’s great
hymn, “Stand Up for Jesus.” Chris
tianity in our day calls fer cou
rageous men and women.
Courage should be distinguished
from such related things as bravery,
valor, or bravado. Bravado is an
affectation of a reckless bravery
which surely has no place in Chris
tian life and activity. Valor is
associated with daring and vigorous
action, for example, in battle. To
be brave means to meet a challenge
with confidence and resolution. To
be courageous means to steadily
meet perils of which one is deeply
conscious, doing so because of the
call of duty. Courage holds a deep
er and nobler meaning than the
other words, carrying with it the
idea of moral strength and, in the
case of the Christian, faith in God
as one devoted to His cause.
Elijah was courageous, and he
stands before our Christian youth to-
dry as an example of that godly
courage which
I. Works in the Open (v. 30).
Men whose deeds are evil love the
darkness rather than the light. God
does not work in the dark. All of
His workings are in the open sun
light. Every one is welcome to
“come near” and see yrhat is done.
Elijah knew God and he acted like
God’s man. What a tragedy it is
that not all of God’s servants have
foLowed his example. If we had
the open and above-board dealings
of Elijah in the affairs of our
churches, we might see more of the
fire and power of his ministry.
Certain it is that the administra
tion of church affairs which has
to be carried out in hidden comers
by whispered conversations and by
secret manipulations behind the
scenes, is not God’s work at all, it
is the work of man.
II. Asks No Favors (w. 33-35).
Elijah rebuilt^ the altar himself.
He asked no help of the unbelieving
prophets of Baal or of apostate Is
rael. How old-fashioned he seems
in this day when so much stress is
laid on a false unity of the faiths,
and there is so much solicitation
and acceptance by the Church of
the help of unbelievers in financing
the supposed work of God.
Note also that Elijah invited his
enemies to make the answer to his
prayer more difficult by pouring
water on the sacrifice. This was
not an act of bravado, it was for the
purpose of demonstrating that there
was no fraud. He was willing that
the enemies of the truth should
make the derm iStration more dif-
, fioult if that would be to God’s glory.
There is a delightful old-fashioned
flavor about that act, too, in these
days when men are frequently will
ing to compromise with unbelief and
even with sin in order that the work
of the Church may be carried on
without too much difficulty. Here
again we have an explanation of
the lack of spiritual power in our
times.
III. Honors God, Not Man (w.
30-32, 36-37).
A man of bravery wants recogni-
; tion for himself, while the coura
geous man asks only that the cause
for which he fights shall be success-
; ful. Elijah had long since demon-
1 strated that he was absolutely fear
less, and sought no favor or glory
(read the entire story). Now in the
tenseness of this moment, he care
fully rebuilds the altar of the true
God (v. 30), makes it a testimony
of unity to a divided Israel (v. 31),
and he does it aH in the name of
the Lord (v. 32).
His prayer (vv. 36, 37) is a pro
foundly simple expression of a com
plete faith in the true God and His
power on the part of a man who
recognized himself as being only the
divine servant. He made no plea
that God would vindicate him or his
ministry, but he did plead that the
name of the Lord should be honored
in the midst of an unbelieving
people.
IV. Brings Eternal Results (w.
38 39).
“The fire of the Lord fell.” The
lying prophets of heathendom were
routed. Many recognized Jehovah
as the true God. While Israel did
not long remember the lesson
learned here, the story has contin
ued as a testimony that will
strengthen the people of God as long
as time continues.
