Resittance should be nade payable to the Bureau of Foreign & Domestic Commerce. During the fourscore years of our (Argentine) civil code our economic and social development has undergone self-imposed modification, and has felt the influence of analogous phenomena in the rest of the world. Our country has been and should be one of immigration and one linked to others of different outlook, but having direct contact of persons, interests and products with our country; un questionably her juridical character demands proper and adequate laws. The question of whether to imitate foreign legislation, adopting their principles, or adapting them to our environment, doubtless requires a labor of selection and elimination based upon our own experience.
