Upon Argentine industry and commerce the World War I in many respects, had very deleterious effects. On the foreign trade of Argentina the effects of the war have been most serious. Just before the outbreak of the struggle, Germany was making an aggressive effort to obtain Argentine trade, keen competition was going on between English and German steamship lines plying from Europe to South America, freight as well as passenger rates were exceedingly low. Argentine meat, hides, wheat, and wool could be marketed in Europe with comparative ease. Today, not only has the stimulus of German competition been removed, but much English tonnage has been taken from the South American trade.
