SOUTH AMERICA
Fuel Shortage Threatens
And Aid Is Asked of
United States.

Recent orders of the Interstate
Commerce Commission virtually re-
storing the export embargo on coal
until the shortage situation in New
England and Atlantic seaboard ports
Is relieved, have brought protests
from South American countries de-
pendent upon the United States for
their fuel supply.
Upon representations made by the
American commercial attache at
Buenos Aires, Secretary of Com
merce Alexander yesterday ad-
dressed letters to the Commission
and the United States Shipping
Board urging that the export ban
be removed to the extent OF permit
ting coal shipments to Argentina
sufficient to meet immediate re-
quiremerits.
The Commissions orders on coal
were issued June 19 and became ef-
fective June "a. Under the terms of
the orders. rail priorities are given
coal shipments when consigned to
Atlantic coast ports north of
Charleston, s. c., with preference to
coal consigned to the New England
coal pool. In view of the shortage of
railroad cars, the freight congestion
and the limited facilities for coal
loading at tidewater the priorities
will work out a virtual embargo on
the expectation of coal.
