Cautiously discussing Argentina
at a press conference late yester-

clined to disclose the nature OF his
previous conversations with Secre-

that delicate relations now existing

powers may be Of a passing" ma
ture.
Laments Failures.
Eve all lament that the Argentine
government has not fulfilled in a
perfect way the agreements of Rio

But he pointed to Argentina and
its people as Of great value" in
hemisphere solidarity and poetic
ally declared: Hope is not lost that
the passing cloud shall not stain the
star"
Asked at this point if another
conference of Foreign Ministers of
the American republics. such as the
1912 gathering at Rio, would be
of value in clearing the Argentine
situation. DR.. Padilla, who was a
leading exponent of hemisphere
solidarity at Rio. said the sugges-
ton was a proposition to be re-
f1ected upon

DR.. Padilla in his press conference

Mexico and the United States,

war. importation OF Mexican laborers

BRETON WOODS, N. H., July
8.-Tempered by a gesture of
compromise, a stiffening Amer
lean attitude toward reported
Russian demands became evi-
dent today as the United Ma
tions monetary conference moved
into it's second week.
One source with ready access to
acknowledgements maneuvering at
the history -fraught sessions gave
this version of how one of the
thorniest problems of the entire
parley would be solved:
Russia, seeking a larger proper
tionate share in a projected multi
billion dollar currency stabilization
fund with a reduced ante of gold,
would be given a quota somewhat
above earlier estimates but could
obtain no concessions on her yellow
metal investment.
The result would be to increase
slightly the size of the fund above
the originally estimated $4,000, ,OOO,-
600 without impairing it's gold assets
or reducing the quota of any other
country.
Quotas Highly Important.
Quotas are important because
they determine the volume Of foreign
exchange member nations may OBJ
tain to pay their short-term debts
arising from unfavorable trade
balances. In effect, they represent
borrowing power with local cur
rencies pledged as security.
Because Russia's prime postwar
role is expected to be that of an i'm
porter rather than an exporter, her
interest in the fund was described
as largely due to the provisions
making dollars and other foreign
exchange available under terms SIM
liar to loan.
A companion proposal under study
here calls for the creation of
$40, 600 000,0 900 reconstruction bank
and conservative members of the
delegation were reported
to be insistent that outright credit
facilities be confined to that project.
Oncially, the quota issue has not
yet reached the conference, but ad-
vance Soviet acceptance of the
American terms was predicted in
more than one quarter. The prob
lem then could be announced as
solved without major clash.
Africa Approves Plan.
AS this new insistence upon the
part gold should play in the fund
developed, the Union of South
Africa stressed It's approval of the
plan in a statement
regarded as significant because of
that country's position as the
worlds largest producer of the metal
DR.. j. E. Holloway, finance Sec
retary, said the fund would provide
an orderly and worldwide means
for any future change in currency
values that might be required by
shifting economic factors. In con-
trast he cited the years of stress
that followed England's retreat from
the gold standard in 1881.
The South African stand was
considered in some quarters as a
reply to earlier criticism that the
stabilization plan was by-passing
gold.
Yesterdays official progress re-
port brought word that the once
lively issue OF bimetallism-use of
silver as well as gold In determining
money values-was not even brought
before the committee expected to
deal With It before It completed
that phase Of It's work.
