30. My 27, February 17, 10 a.m. Louro informed Ravndal last night that he is being sent to Washington by Ortiz with full powers to settle trade agreement question and that he is authorized to make any concession he deems appropriate except the granting of more exchange than that created by United States purchases of Argentine products. If the United States insists on receiving more, Louro is to advise the Department that a trade agreement is impossible.
