Yrigoyen had held an almost dictatorial power in Argentina since his election to the presidency in 1928, for the second term. His first term began in 1916. By TOM WILIIELM (Associated Press Staff Writer) (Copyright 1930 and all rights reserved by The Associated Press). NEW YORK, Sept. 5.

(AP) World-wide economic conditions and depression furnished the added heat which boiled over Argentina's steaming political cauldron today, representatives of Argentine com mercial interests said here In com menting on the resignation of Fres Ident Hipolito Yrigoyen. The resignation of the president of the powerful South American republic is interpreted as the ef fects of an economic "Frenkentem built largely by the president through his zeal for assuminc an governmental responsibilities. The commercial outposts of Ar centina here were unanimous that President Yrigoycn's troubles could be traced directly to the economic condition of Argentina brought about by the depressed peso and falling cattle and wheat price, in a year the peso, normally valued at 42 cents has dropped 14 per cent while cattle prices and wheat val ues have followed in a corresponding. manner. Added to depressed busines con ditions and the lack of a program on the part of the government to attempt to stabilize these condi tions, Argentine leaders here saw "state's rights" as fertile ground for antl-Yrigoyen sentiment.

Made up of 14 states and 10 areas which have not state status, Ar gentina is governed under a con stitution similar to that of the United States. Opposition the president has charged him rith interfering in the affairs of the separate states through federal of fice holders in the various areas. Lack of ambassador in 10 of the world'3 principal nations, including the United States and Germany, is charged with the shrinkage In Ar gentina's foreign This shrink age is general throughout the world save in the United Stales Jin which Argentina in 1929 purchased $210,300,000, selling $117,000,000. President Yrigoyen, leader of the radical party since '1893, inherited the toga from his uncle Alem who founded the organization in 13J0. Under Alem, radical elements tried unsuccessfully in 1890 in 1833 to revolt against the then rui ing government.

With the collapse of the l-iter attempt, Alem slew himself. Another unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the government made in 1905. Seven years later the radicals were able to control the Argentine house of repre4enta-tives and in 1918 Yrigoyen was named president. During his six year term, Presi dent Yrigoyen served through the -days of the World war with its attendant high prices. He relinquished the presidency because constit Jtion- al bars prevented him from uuc- ceeding himself.

With his inauguration to th sec ond term in 1928, elements, his own party began a campaign of political sniping, parti rj'ar ly at what they termed a "do nothing" policy of the president. Student demonstrations were started and the laws governing uni versities were changed to permi; students to elect cne-third of the members of boards governing their activities, the faculty to elect the remainder. Because of what they called the universal ownership of land in Argentina where each person owns at least a small parcel of property, Argentine business men here pro fess to see the impossibility of a revolt getting out of hand and Diooasnea pay" is Climaxed presentation of fficial Award I SPRINGS TRIBUTE TODAY 0f Visitors Throng Streets to Wit- a is Uss Parade veral thousand admiring Sans looking on and voic-tion, Colonel Alton Par-sierday invested with an ten from his native state moration of his valiant achievement as an arc-fr in the company of Ad-tard E.
