WHEAT EMBARGO Is LIFTED
England and Argentine Adjust Diplo-
matte Quarrel

Buenos Ayres, April 25-Amicable
adjustment OF the diplomatic quarrel
between England and Argentine over
Argentine's wheat blockade is an
nounced
The two nations have reached an
agreement whereby Argentine agrees
to send TO England and the allies $780,
600 tons Of wheat and 10000 tons Of
-four In return England contracted
to furnish Argentine at a later date
200, 900 tons of wheat from Canada,
Australia and other colonies. Delivery
OF the British wheat is to be between
July and September
Presumably the Argentine wheat
will be sent to England at once. Ar
gentine's wheat embargo was insti-
tuted because the crop just harvested
was a disappointment and it was fear
ed there would be wheat shortage.
