Two articles could be imported into
the United States without difficulty
hides and quelbracho dark. Both
these articles are at the present mo-
ment imported from abroad, and Argen-
tina could obtain these exports ex-
cluSively.
Flaxseed and caseine. which are both
used to make linseed oil and paint, are
produced in the United States. But for
the enormous public works program
which the American Government con-
templates putting through in the course
Of the year, SO much paint will be re-
quired that these two products will be
Sorely needed. AS it happens there
Is a shortage of f1aXseed in this coun-
try at present, and 1t Is taken for
granted that large quantities will have
to be imported in the course of the
year.
Drop in Dollar q Factor.
Another item which the Argentine
would like to export into the United
States is grapes, which ripen in that
country at season when there are
no grapes in this country and conse-
quently do not compete with the Cali
fornia product. The Argentinian gov
eminent is also of the opinion America
could import about 2 per cent of the
beef and mutton consumed in this
country.
In exchange Argentina Is prepared
to give preferential treatment to Amer
lean manufactured products. such as
railroad material, farm implements and
automobiles. The latter are the sub
ject Of keen competition at the pres
ent moment; Great Britain and France
are making earnest endeavorS to gain
a permanent foothold in Argentina,
and have been underselling the Ameri-
can motor car manufacturers, by TAX
ing advantage of the low price of
sterling.
With the dollar of gold, and depre-
ciating rapidly. the chances of the
American manufacturers have greatly
increased and Argentina is reported to
be prepared to give preference to the
American automobiles and the agricul-
tural machinery produced in this coun-
try.
The Argentine government is reported
to desire to begin negotiations on the
basis of such reciprocities at the ear
hest possible moment. II the CONVEX
sations between the President and Am
bassador Espil are satisfactory, direct
negotiations may be expected shortly.
