Men Go, Mortgages Remain

Men Go, Mortgages Remain.

Meanwhile, South America has been beset by political disturbances in several places, and a President in Argentina and a Government in Brazil have disappeared. The deposed President of Argentina is the same Trigoyen as figured prominently in the negotiations with Lord d'Abernon last year, resulting in the above-mentioned trade agreement with Britain. The President is gone—long live the President! When the Prince of Wales makes his South American tour (down the West Coast via Chile, and back via Argentina and Brazil) he will not see the Argentine President and the Brazilian Government he would have seen in 1930. But no doubt the wheels will still be going round, and Britain's interest in the huge South American market will not be diminished, nor will the importance have dwindled of Britain's huge capital investment in Argentina. The Prince of Wales is not the only prospective South American tourist. Recollections of Col. Lindbergh's “good will” flight are aroused by New York's report (21st November) that he will soon leave on a 22,000 mile air tour extending to Cape Horn.
