U. S. Trade Restricted.
Two years ago the United King
dom provided Argentina with huge
favorable trade balance. Last year
this was cut to almost half.
|. Last November Argentine officials
decided that imports from the United
States must be brought into line
with exports. The finance ministry
announced an import licensing sys-
tenn, and it soon became evident that
licenses for imports from the United
States were extremely difficult to OBJ
tain.
Argentine officials explained it was
necessary to balance trade with the
United States, and they deprecated
the impression widespread among
United States businessmen that
German exporters were being delib-
erately favored.
Argentinas pride is another key
to dealings of Argentina with the
United States.
Conversation with men in high
and low walks of life shows resent
ment against the sanitary embargo
which bans Argentine beef, priced
product of the Pampa, from the
United States.
One Government official estimated
that if the United States were to
buy from Argentina only per cent
of the meat it consumes, this coun-
try's favorable trade balance would
be restored.

Premier Mussolinis speech tonight
In Cuneo:
For the second time I have the
honor to be with you, o proud people
of the province which is great and
will so remain. And here I close my
trip in Piedmont.
In Turin, which is ever regal and
solemn, in other principal towns of
the province, in smaller cities, in
villages, in farm houses scattered
through countryside, I have had q
thoroughgoing impression which I
want to report to you not only for
your information but for all Ital-
ians-Piedmont is strong.
1t is strong in its glorious CEN
turies-old traditions, strong for its
never denied civic discipline, strong
for its temperaments and its charac-
ter, strong above all because it is
aware of having been the designer
of unity and independence of the
country.
Piedmont is Fascist 100 per cent.
And this should be said once and for
all in order to cause certain ridicu-
lous illusions to subside Piedmont
Is for Italy. Piedmont labors.
I have seen it in these days in
works of the countryside where ag-
riculture has a prodigious mechani-
cal development, in great industrial
establishments, in the mines-in one
I visited this morning in Cogne,
which yields 1000 tons of excellent
ore every day.
Piedmont works with decision,
with a precise rhythm inspired by
the principles Of autarchy. From
its workshops to it's textile indus
tries, to its mechanical trades, to
its mineralogical industries, Pied
mont is already almost completely
autarchic. And it sets an example
for all Italy.
And it is in favor of autarchy as
q prerequisite of our independence
as a century ago it believed in the
independence and political unity of
the nation.
Piedmont is in line with the pol
Icy of the axis.
And no city can demonstrate it
more than Cuneo which has resist
ed so many Sieges VIGOROUSLY.
Sunday at Turin I announced
that a treaty of alliance would be
concluded between Italy and Ger
many. This treaty will be signed
next Monday.
It will thus form bloc Of $780,

100000 men against which it will
be impossible to do anything.
This bloc, formidable in men in
arms, wants peace but is ready to
impose it in case the great conserva-
tive and reactionary democracies
should try to halt our irresistible
march.
I spoke clearly at Turin and what
I am saying at Cuneo may be con-
sidered postscript. Now I will
close in silence; in case of neces-
sity the people will speak.

five AREAS HIT
BY TORNADOES

DETROIT - Emergency work
crews and Red Cross disaster-or-
ganizers were rushed today into
tornado-riddled lower Michigan,
where twisters in five different
areas injured hundreds of persons,
flattened buildings and devastated
crops.
The tornadoes swept out of local.
lied low pressure areas that had
drifted eastward from Iowa and
Minnesota and struck late Tuesday
throughout the lower half Of the
state.
Texas township, of Kalamazoo
county, was hardest hit There the
only fatality was recorded.
The black, funnel-shaped cloud
ripped through the southern edge
of Kalamazoo and advanced TO
Comstock, three miles away. In
South Comstock rs homes were
blown down.
An emergency tent to supply
food and medical aid to hundreds
of homeless and injured South
Comstock residents was opened at
day break by the county chapter
of American Red Cross.
Tornadoes also ripped into
regions near Midland, Jack
son, Grand Rapids and Lapeer,
leaving many injured. Live
stock loss was reported high.
Early estimates of damage to
crops and buildings were more
than 100000. The figure was
expected to mount sharply when
reports from outlying rural areas
were received. Some of them were
without means of communication.
