Excerpt from The Second Report of the Merchants' Locust: Investigation Commission of Buenos Aires
The writer wishes here to thank the Commission as a whole, and the individual members separately, for the uni form courtesy with which he has been treated both while in Argentina and since returning to his labors in the United States. The Sub-commission also deserves special mention for the faithfulness it has exhibited in gathering and for warding all of the data that has enabled the writer to make the work. As complete as it is.
In the preparation of this report it has been possible for the writer to show many of the forms treated by having so good an artist as is Edna L. Hyatt at hand to make the drawings from the originals.
