§ Viscount WOLMERNo particulars published by the Argentine Government, as to imports into Argentina in the year 1922, are yet available, but the statistics issued by the British and United States Governments, given below, of exports to the Argentine from the United Kingdom and the United States of America respectively, will doubtless be of interest to my hon.
