Visiting Prince

The good ship San Giorgio, pennants a flutter, hove to in the magnificently festooned harbor of Buenos-Aires. Guns boomed a welcoming salute. On the dock were the President of Argentina, his suite, hosts of Cabinet Ministers, statesmen and politicians, le Corps Diplomatique, numberless other dignitaries, all supported by a crowd estimated in hundreds of thousands. Italy's Crown Prince had come to pay an official visit to Argentina.

The evening of his arrival Prince Umberto was guest of honor at Government House. President de Alvear and ISO distinguished officials were present. After food, wine and speeches had been mixed, the Prince viewed from a balcony a torchlight procession staged by the gleeful denizens of Buenos-Aires.

The U. S., as the El Dorado of surplus Italian workers, is no more. Trade between the two countries is declining. Italy is, more strongly than ever, cultivating the good relations of the South American States with a view to stimulating trade, to providing her ever-increasing army of workers with another El Dorado. Hence the visit of the Italian Crown Prince.
