$11o,ooo,ooo Exports
Destined for Allies

More than s11O,O0O,OOo of the
sll98l2,042 worth of American
made implements of war licensed for
export last month were destined for
France and Great Britain. State
Department report disclosed yester-
day.
The report showed licenses issued
during November for the export of
arms to France aggregated $95 .579,-
366. Great Britains total was s14,-
97009l Most OF the licenses were for
fighting airplanes and parts.
Actual shipments during Novem-
ber amounted to only s5,l43,96l.
France and Great Britain taking
more than half of this amount.
The report reflected heavy arma-
ment purchases here also by neutral
countries of Northern Europe. Ex
ports to the Netherlands were valued
at S926978, mostly airplanes and
parts. Licenses for arms exports
to Finland. after running high in
October, fell off during November to
S13,73O, with actual exports valued
at s22 050.
| The State Department report di-
rected attention to the licensing Of
export to Japan by the Douglas Air
craft Co., Inc, of s4,585 so worth of
airplane parts, despite the admin
istrations moral embargo against
shipment of airplanes or parts to
nations guilty of unprovoked bomb
ing of civilians.
The report said this was only the
second instance during 1899 of fail
ure of manufacturers to comply with
the moral embargo 1t noted that
the Douglas company explained the
parts going to Japan were spares
for planes shipped prior to an
nouncement of the moral embargo
last year, and that it had agreed
when those planes were sold to sup
ply spare parts for four years.
The report also listed $50, SAC
worth of airplane engines author
lied for export to Russia, but Off
cials explained that the moral en-
barge" had not been applied to
Russia when that license was is
sued in November.
The department explained that
the amount of licenses issued dur
ing November-the months total OF
s119,812,042. comparing with a to-
tai of $169, ,284,675 for the first IL
months of the year-appeared un-
usually high because licenses which
had been revoked with application
of the arms embargo had been re-
issued after passage of the new
Neutrality Act repealed the en-
barge.

him. hoping to gain their way to

Youngs confession, as given out at

Concessions Given
U. 5. for Trade Pact,
Says Argentina
Counter-ProposoIs Made
To Unsatisfactory
Washington Offers
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 28.-A
high Argentine official said today
that Argentina had offered Sub
stantial concessions" concerning i'm
ports from the United States in an
effort to arrive at reciprocal trade
treaty with the United States.
These concessions, which have
not been made public, were deliv-
cred to United States Ambassador
Norman Armour. They amounted
to counter proposals to previous
United States proposals which Ar
gentina had found unsatisfactory.
Washington Reply Awaited.
Treaty negotiations center now
on reply awaited from Washing
ton, where President Roosevelt, Sec
retary Hull and others conferred
yesterday, Argentine sources said.
1t was believed here the Washing
ton conferences dealt with the pro-
posed Argentine pact.
Argentina was said to be particu-
larly interested in the question of
United States imports of Argentine
canned meats and fax. 1t was
asserted here that both items might
provoke political agitation" and
that this made decision by the
United States administration difn-
cult at this time.
An Argentine official reflected.
however, that If some effort comes
from Washington we probably would
re-examine our position in an effort
to reach an agreement"
Time Important Factor.
Time is regarded as an important
factor as powers granted the United
States administration under the
Reciprocal Trade Treaty Act expire
June H. Negotiations are virtually
at a standstill now.
Among matters holding up agree
ment was the reluctance of Argen-
tine negotiators to accept a United
States proposal for import quotas on
! linseed and other restrictions on Ar
gentine products.
Argentina feels an agreement must
assure reasonable volume of sales
to the United States to give i'm
/ porters enough foreign exchange to
buy United States goods.

Finland Ready 10 Buy
$4,000 Gas Masks
From j. :. Makers
Mission Also Seeking
Latest Guns to Fight
Aircraft and Tanks

The Finnish purchasing mission,
sent to this country for war sup
plies with which to fight the Rus
sian invaders, was reported today
as nearly ready to sign a contract
with American manufacturers for
$4,000 military gas masks.
Col Per zilliacus. the Finnish
military attache, indicated the con-
tract would be signed as soon as
final authority is received from the
Finnish government in Helsinki.
This authority is expected momen-
tarily.
Last week Finland obtained bids
on the gas masks from four Ameri-
can firms.
Latest Guns Also Sought.
Meanwhile the purchasing mis-
sion, which is headed By 1t. Gen.
Vilho Peter Nenonen. continued
negotiations for sizeable quantities
Of the Army's latest type of anti
aircraft and anti-tank guns and
mortars.
On a visit to the War Depart
ment yesterday Gen. Nenonen and
Col. Zilliacus explained their needs
to high War Department officials,
including Assistant Secretary of
War Louis Johnson. They said they
wanted the arms and also large
quantities of ammunition for i'm
mediate delivery.
There are difficulties in the way
of the Firms obtaining these orders
for immediate delivery 1t was
pointed out to them that this coun-
try is in the midst of large Army
expansion program and is deficient
in the types of guns the Firms de-
sire.
Until recently all the guns We're
manufactured in Government ar
senals. In the expansion program
two private ordnance manufacturers
have received orders.
Can Use Army Designs.
The Finnish mission was told that
the War Department would not
stand in the way if it could make
arrangements with private manu-
facturers for the guns. In the in
terest OF building up production
capacity in ornaments of that kind
for this country the War Depart
ment was reported willing to per-
NIT the use of its designs in the
manufacture of the guns
The mission, it was said, is now
studying the plan, but has not
reached a final decision.
The Firms recently contracted
with the Brewster Aircraft Corp. of
New York for A of the Navy's latest
type fighting ships. They were able
to obtain these planes when the
Navy agreed to delivery at later
date on an unannounced number
of the planes. This order, it is
understood, will be completed about
the middle of January. some two
weeks ahead of schedule. The
planes will be shipped at once to
Finland.
