WPB Explains Change
In Shipment Ratings
For South America
Maximum Impact on
Axis by July Object
Of Altered Program
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey tHe ASSO1l2&ed Press.
Ofncial action taken yesterday to
subject materials for Latin America
to preference ratings is a result of
this Governments redesigned COM
bat program planned "to produce q
maximum impact on the enemy by
July. l943," War Production Board
source said.
Although shipments urgently
needed by these countries will no
longer be rated as high as the emer-
gency military rating. they will re-
ceive an AJAX rating which will
give them a priority over all United
States domestic projects except those
OF an emergency nature, this source
said.
The action was announced by the
War Production Board and the
Board of Economic Welfare as an
amendment to an export order re-
quiring the United States producers
to give priority to orders for Latin
America over all other orders.
Onlcials OF these agencies said the
amendment, which places consider
alton OF all these orders in the
perspective Of the United States
combat program, was another indi-
cation to mark the complete con-
version to a war economy in the
United States.
The biggest strain on this Ma
tion's war machine. it was explained,
Is In steel, copper, tin, aluminium
and other materials needed in war
production, and the deliveries of
such shipments to Latin America
will likely be delayed under the
action taken yesterday.
However, drugs and other ma
terials not so essential to the i'm
mediate demands of the combat,
program probably will not be seri-
ously affected by the new order.
Oficials said one effect of this
war economy might be emphasis on
the strategic Importance of Mexico
and Brazil to hemisphere war oper-
ations, since both countries are
viewed as potential combat areas
by the military. Therefore ship
ments OF materials which add to
the defensive strength of these coun-
tries, these sources added could be
expected to receive a classification
higher than that given shipments
to countries not so strategically To-
Gated.
