BRITISH Quarrel

Buenos Aires. April 24.---Amicsble
adjustment Of the diplomatic quarrel
between Argentine and England over
Argentine's wheat embargo. was an
nounced today. The two nations
have reached settlement whereby
Argentine agrees to send to England
and the allies 10000 tons Of wheat
and 10000 tons OF flour. In return
England contracted to forward to
Argentine at later date 200. 900
tons OF wheat from Canada, Australia
and elsewhere. Delivery Of the Brit
ish wheat is TO be between July and
September. Presumably the Argen-
tine wheat wlli be sent to England
at once.
Argentine's wheat embargo was in
stituted because Of apprehension OF
her government ofiicials that the
tempting prices offered for export
trade would drain the republic OF the
grain. The crop just harvested was
a disappointment and It was feared
the nation faced a serious situation.
