GREAT LAND OF PROMISE
BUENOS AIRES. Feb. 27.-The United States may be the "land of promise" for European immigrants but it is not the only land in the western hemisphere where promises of riches for the humble who labor have been fulfilled. A local newspaper has just published a list of immigrants or descendants of immigrants from Italy numbering 111 whose combined fortunes gained in Argentina are estimated to exceed 1,000,000,000 pesos, or $242,500,000 in American money. The list was published in connection with the forthcoming inauguration of a 5,000,000 peso clubhouse which the Italian colony of Buenos Aires has erected.
Italians in Argentina are prominent in all branches of activity but to a large extent in industrial enterprises, some of the most important of which are controlled by them.
