The Ambassador in Argentina ( Armour ) to the Secretary of State
[Received 5:30 p.m.]
664. The Advisory Committee on the distribution of newsprint met April 8 and unanimously agreed that newsprint distribution in Argentina [Page 403] should remain in the hands of the present importers. The Embassy understands that the Minister of Agriculture agreed with the opinion of the Committee. It is understood that the Argentine Government has cabled its Embassy in Washington, asking it to ascertain from our Government the amount of shipping space which can be allotted for newsprint to Argentina on our vessels and is also planning to address a similar communication to this Embassy. After receipt of this data the Argentine Government will allot space on its own vessels. Refer to my telegram No. 665, April 14, 6 p.m.41
