officials believe that vast buying
OF raw materials and other pro-
ducts from the nations south OF the
Rio Grande, particularly Argen-
tina, will make that country more
friendly TO the United Nations.
Argentina, II is known, has been
growing more reluctant to sell its
products to Great Britain for block
ed sterling, which cannot be traded
freely in world markets. Under
the Anglo-American proposal near
ing completion, this country would
purchase the products with Ameri-

change with which to increase their
imports OF American-msde pro-
