Conclusion Of Coffee
Quota Agreement
Reported Near
Approval by Colombia
Leaves Only One
Nation to Act
Bt the Associated Press.

BIZ the Associated ITeSS.
Conclusion of an agreement among
coffee producing nations of Latin
America and the United States for
the division of the North American
coffee market appeared imminent
today when it was learned that Co.
lombia had approved its quota and
the assent of only one other nation
was lacking.
Informed sources said Colombia
announced its approval of a quota
of approximately 3,15O,000 bags at
an extraordinary meeting of the
Inter-American Financial and Eco
nomic Advisory Committee. This
source said that the unnamed ma
ton withholding its assent was a
small producer of coffee and that its
approval probably would be obtained
by cable within the next few days.
Under the proposed agreement
which has been negotiated under
the sponsorship of the Inter-Amer-
ican Committee since the conference
of Havana, the United States market
for coffee would be divided between
the IA coffee-producing nations of
Latin America.
Brazil, largest coffee producing
nation of the continent, would have
a quota of approximately 100000
bags, informed sources said Other
nations would be graduated below
Colombias 3,150,OOO bags.
Official confirmation of the near
ness of the committee to completion
of the negotiations which began
with the meeting of the Pan-Amer-
ican coffee conference in New York
last June was lacking.
The Inter-American Committee
will meet Thursday morning to con-
tinue Its deliberations.

1OO-Ton Tank
For U.S.. Army
Is Proposed

Atlanta, June 2l.-(AP) The At
lanta Constitution says plans for d
monster l0O-tOn tank, more deadly
than anything yet designed in me-
chanical warfare, have been submit
ted to the United States War Depart
ment by Georgia Tech military
engineer.
The paper says plans and spcci-
fications for the proposed tank, de-
iscriDed as trench on wheels were
prepared by Major A. A. Case, as
oclate superintendent of shops at the
Georgia School of Technology.
Major Case would not confirm nor
deny the CONSTITUTIONS story.
The paper said the tank would be
armed with 75-millmeter cannon,
and would carry defensive armor
from five to six inches thick. 1t
would be approximately 20 per cent
larger than the great nazi "groWlers'
now being used in France, the paper
continued. Its speed was estimated
at lust about equal" to that OF
the Bottom German tanks.
A source close to the Georgia Tech
military department said the pro-
posed l00-ton fighter was designed
especially with. an eye to defense
against air attacks, and would be
maneuverablc enough to do every
thing except climb sheer mountain
canyons
There was no estimate of the pro-
bable cost of such a tank, or the
crew which would be required for
its operation.
