BY CHARLES P. STEWART (United Press Staff Correspondent) Buenos Aires, Jan. 25. (By Mail) The plan suggested by Dr. De la Plaza, just retired as president of Ar gentina, for putting the republic on a "one money" basis has not met with a very enthusiastic public reception. Some time ago the Argentines grew tired of transacting business in a de preciated and fluctuating paper cur rency. They accordingly took an ac counting and found that they had enough gold on hand to redeem their outstanding paper issues at the rate of 44 cents on the dollar. A law was accordingly passed fix ing 44 centavos as the legal value of a paper peso. A gold peso was worth 100 centavos, or the merest trifle less than $1 United States money. Gold pesos were and still are so scarce, however, as to be practical curiosities. The gold to redeem the 44-centavo paper pesos was religiously kept at the Caja de Conversion, however, and whenever any more paper money was issued, a corresponding amount of gol was depositod in the caja. The result of this was to stop the fluctuation of Argentine money but it left the country with two kinds of pesos, at least nominally, gold and paper. It complicated bookkeeping and caused more other incidental in conveniences. Just ibefore his term as president expired, Dr. De la Plaza sent a mess age to congress saying he considered , this a poor arrangement. He proposed trac, as tne 44 centavos paper pesos wore out and were presented for re demption, in a volume sufficiently smaller to allow the gold reserve still i to cover it. I There were other incidental features . to his plan, concerning coinage and various minor details but, essentially, the scheme was to end the system of having two varieties of the same kind of money. I The public view is that this would be a good thing in theory but that it would cause more temporary incon venience and confusion than the coun try likes to submit to. Furthermore i; is asserted that the change would : unsettle prices for a long time and ! that the consumer would get the worst of it. Congress has the matter still under consideration but the plan has so many opponents that its adoption seems doubtful. Mrs. Deal Granted Divorce.

GERARD, Amencan Am. bassador to Germany THE government of the United Slates must look to the protection of its industries, its manufacturers and its workinginon if it is to avoid being outrun in the commercial nice after the war. If we are to give in this country tin eight hour day wc liavo got to give the manufacturer and the workingmau some sort of scientific pro tection against the countries where the LABOREHS WORK TFX AXD TWELVE HOURS AND WHERE WOMEN' ARE SO I. VRCiELY EMPLOYED. If there are to be peace and prosperity in this country after the great cataclysm in Europe lias ended manufacturers and exporters must he allowed to reduce their, expenses by pooling; their interests in the cam paign for foreign uiurkets. This must be done to meet the situation pre sented by the combination of buying interests in Germany and other countries. A8 AN EXAMPLE, THE PRICE PAID FOR AMERICAN COPPER VIR TUALLY IS FIXED BY FRANKFORT OR BY LONDON OR BY THE TWO TOGETHER. Combinations exist iu other countries through which products are purchased practically for the whole nation-and they are enabled to go into American markets and buy from separate producer, who are com peting against each other in low prices instead of combining to insure a reasonable return for their product. P There must be combinations among the exporters to give protection to the farmer and the producer of the raw material, else the raw material can be bought bere for extremely low prices, manufactured abroad and old in all the market of the world at a price at which American manu facturers euu hardly compete.
