GREAT FUTURE.

ARGENTINA'S RECOVERY. NO LABOUR DIFFICULTIES. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON", Thursday. A former member of a Wellington firm of solicitors, and now the manager of Shell Mex (Argentina), Limited, Mr. F. W. Flyger, returned to New Zealand ■by the Ruahine to-day on four months' holiday after being absent since 1914. Mr. Flyger had much of interest' to say about Argentina, which he characterised as a land of great future. Next to England, he said, Argentina had made the quickest recovery from the depression. One did not notice unemployment there and there were no labour troubles. All races had equal rights, and the labour and workers' compensation laws had been based on those of New Zear land. It was the finest republic in South America and the best governed. He said there had been only one revolution in Argentina in 35 years, in contrast to Chile, Uruguay and Brazil. One reason for the periodic upheavals in those republics was that they were very rich countries, and there was a continual rush of parties to gain control. Most of the republics were underpopulated, especially Brazil, which had extensive resources. Farming was mostly mechanical in Argentina, Mr. Flyger said. Dairy farming especially was very efficient. Meat i exports were not falling off, although Argentina just now was watching keenly negotiations in London for a new meat convention. An enormous amount of English capital was invested in Argentina, which, it was hoped, would receive special consideration.
