IlH-J would highly lWNclstA beln; permitted to bring tho fol- lowing keen message o1 Dr. Daniel Amadeoy Vldels (Minister of Agriculture in Argentina) to the notllce or urban as well as rural eo- operators tn Prince Edward I4- land; indicating the growth of the tau-operative movement in that great country:

"mere exist. at present. tn Amm- tlns. 646 co-opcrstivc societies. with s membership of 366.000, and an aggregatg share capital of 54.000.- 000 pesos. ‘the total turnover of these co-cperatlve societies amount- ed. during the last fiscal year. to 160,050,000 pesos. These figures show that the part. played by these societies ls already important tn our economic system. 1t 1s the sin- cere desire of the Government w give unlimited support and en- couragemcnt. to the cooperative movement, in view of the eminent- ly constructive nature o! this move- ment Without in any way affect- lniz the established order, the laws on ownership and legitimate re- venue. this movement tends - 5v peaceful means — to bring about. a general social transformation, insofar as it provides [or a rational basis for production and trade and Dflllgs together producers and con- sutners. assuring an rqultable dis- tribution of profits. We are con- tcrtiplatlug, for the time bclzig, to submit to the Parliament a bill concerning assistance to tic-oper- otlve societies which, 1n carrying out their principal aotivitles, make use of the services o1 technicians. The same bill will provide for a pifm of development as regards technical education for the farmer which will, I am sure, prove of great value to the movement. Courses on co-operation will be started 1n rural schools and the pupils will have the opportunity of doing practical vrork in the co- operative sccietzes, with g, view to being trained for posts of qualified personnel, so important. for the success of any movement The Government considers co-operative societies as organizations of great utility."
