Britain Tightening
Blockade Against
Iatin-Axis Trade
Experts Held Checking
Closely on Exports
From Argentina
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES. Dec. "A sur
vey of Argentine commercial and
agricultural sources indicated today
that Britain quietly is Tightening
her restrictions on ocean trade in
an effort TO keep vital supplies
from reaching her axis foes through
nations not in the war.
Well-informed sources said Brit
ish economic experts were watching
closely shipments of cotton, meats,
fats and hides, and were checking
on purchases in Argentina for
Spain, Soviet Russia, Sweden, Fin
land and also conquered France.
These sources said the British
already had killed a plan to sell
100000 tons of Argentine cotton
to Spain by declaring that navi-
certs for such shipment would
not be available The navicerts
are certificates of British advance
approval OF cargo in ships heading
through the British naval blockade.
France Began Negotiations.
Three months ago navicerts were
granted for shipments of $4,000
tons Of cotton to Spain and sources
close to the cotton trade said they
understood Britain approved the
first shipments as normal Spanish
imports, but turned thumbs down
on the later 100000 tons as beyond
Spain's present needs.
Negotiations were started re-
Gently to purchase Argentine meats
and fats for shipment to France,
but again indication that the
British would not approve, regard
less of what boats were used, was
said to have spoiled the deal.
Heavy Russian purchases of hides
and fats also have attracted the
attention of the British. So far
there have been no actual reStric-
tions placed in the form of refus-
ing navicerts but exporters con-
cerned with such shipments to
Russia have been given hints that
sit would be unwise for you fellows
to invest too much money in that
business.
Swedes and Firms Active.
Swedish and Finnish buyers have
been especially active in Argentine
markets recently and the British
were reported to be watching these
transactions carefully.
Several Swiss firms, unable to
import from Argentina. are con-
tinuing to make purchases of es-
sential products, storing them in
this country in the hope the war
will end soon.
One famous Swiss manufacturer
of soups already has a full years
supply of meat extract in storage in
Argentina.
Meanwhile, Argentine packing

arrangement to collect the debt

MAYOR IN APPEAL
 ON TAX PAYMENTS
City Officials Have No Power to Waive Delin-
 quency Penalty

A personal appeal for the payment of old age assistance taxes was made to the public today by Mayor Vincent A. Scully. He urged that all those billed for the tax make the $3 pay ment before the deadline Friday night.
 ''I urge all those obliged to pay the tax to make their payments at the city hall today tomorrow or Friday, the mayor said. 'The amount which the city must pay the state is fixed and must be paid no matter what we collect"
 ''It should be pointed out" the mayor said, "that city authorities have no power to waive the penalty that is imposed if payment is not made by March 1. We have no choice but to add the statutory penalty of $1 to the $3 tax"
 Mayor Scully had planned to make his appeal by radio, but the neces- sary arrangements could not be com- pleted and he asked that the news papers bring his message to the public.
 The ofice of the tax collector will be open from 2 to 9 o'clock this eve- ming, tomorrow evening and Friday evening. This is in addition to the regular office hours of g a. m. to 5 D. m. daily.
 The payment of old age assistance taxes has been running ahead of last year. Collections thus far are ap- proximately $10O,O00.
 The city must pay the state total of $135, 300. Tn past years deficit in the account has been incurred, and the difference has had to be made up from other city funds.
