NO LONGER ODIOUS
Stigma of Term Trade PRINCE’S “BOOST” Argentinian Reactions By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyrigtit. (Rec. March 15, 11.83 pjn.). New York, March 14. The Buenos Aires correspondent of the "New York Times” says to be "in trade” ought never again to be a term of odium to Britain, for British trade was raised almost to the level of the sublime to-day upon the occasion of the inauguration of the British Trade Fair by the Prince of Wales. British marines formed a guard of honour at the exposition grounds and the Band of the Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders played the Argentine and British National Anthems, and the
King himself sent a message to the Argentinians calling their attention to the importance of the exposition. The fair was opened with all the pomp and glory of an international event The Prince of Wales, speaking through an international “hookup,” delivered his vigorously-applauded inauguration address—heard in Britain as well as in the Americas—in English and excellent Spanish. Never has any foreijm visitor in Argentina made himself- as the Prince of Wales has' done, and he undoubtedly would be elected President of the Argentine Republic tomorrow if he wanted the position. His popularity in South America is incredible. Only part of his attraction is due to being of Royal blood, the rest being due simply to his ability to make himself extremely popular without trying to do so.
