Argentina Restricts
Speculation; Seizure
OF Newsprint Urged
BY the Associated Press

BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 25.-Ar-
gentina's economic ills and dollar
shortage were reflected in three
government announcements yes
terday.
/. A proposal to seize all news
print and distribute it as the gov
ernment sees fit.
2. Adoption of measures to stop
or limit market speculation and
beginning of gasoline rationing to
help curb the drain on dollar
exchange.
8. The government trade mo-
nopoly agency will be curtailed
and the import business returned
largely to private interests.
Papers Back NewsprInt Plan.
The plan to seize newsprinr was
offered by the National Economics
Council. 1t would give the gov
ernment press Office the exclusive
right to distribute existing sup
plies and buy all neWsprint for
future use. The council said Ar
gentina is short of foreign ex-
change to buy neWSprint.
Publishers of all Argentine pa
pers except the two largest in
dependent dailies-La Prensa and
La Nacion-have backed the plan.
The proposal largely would affect
these two papers which do not
follow the government line. They
have large stocks of newsprint on
hand.
In moving to stop or limit mar
ket speculation, the government
increased margin requirements on
most stocks from 80 to so per cent
of their value. Trading on two
highly speculative issues which
recently led sharp market drop
was, in effect, abolished by rails
ing margins required to 100 per
cent.
