NATI0NALISM MAY RETARD
ARGENIINA'S RECOVERY

LONDON. 8UP).- London's
Financial Times observed today
that the new Argentine Govern
ment's Strongly nationalistic out
look" may retard the nation from
finding a quick way out of her
foreign payments problems.
Solution to these problems, the
newspaper judged, appeared to lie
in allowing foreign oil concerns
to participate directly or indirectly
in development schemes.
Argentina's development Of her
oil resources looked to the Finan-
cial Times like "at the moment
the only way" for Argentina TO
bridge her foreign exchange gap"
Such development would remove
the present drain on Argentine
exchange to pay for foreign fuel,
the Financial Times explained.

trouble is that exploitation of
domestic oil resources at the speed
required cannot be accomplished
without foreign assistance.

nents of this mission are dis
tlnguished m e m b of the
Chamber who are connected with
North American firms having
substantial investments in that
country. Also, they apparently
plan to study the possibility of
establishing an office in Wa
Shington of the said Chamber
OF Commerce, to maintain on
the alert in connection with any
event or circumstances that may
affect or may be of interest to
the Venezuelan-American trade
exchange.
Measures such as this, taken
by American investors abroad,
show that while it is true that
the protectionist tendency as
regards foreign trade has its
advocates in this country, there
are also a great many people and
enterprises who are convinced
that isolation in any way is no
longer possible, not even in the
mercantile or economic fields.
The world is one and the ex-
change, which is the method of
communication, the ideas, and
the demands for different pro-
ducts and articles create closer
ties and association between ma
tons, all to achieve a better
way of life for the individual.
No one is completely self-suf-
fieient nor anyone is wholly de-
pendent.

the side of the Latin American
countries, to show that these

Peru with its tuna, lead and

development and the preserva-
ton of the colossal industrializa-
ton progress attained by this
country. On its part, the Amer
lean capital going to Latin Amer
lea contributes to the develop
ment of those countries, and is
bound to do so not only in the
economic aspect, but also with
any kind of assistance it could
give to the country that so hos
pitably receives it. The Ameri-
can capital going to Latin Amer
lea also carries ideas of demo-
cracy, of liberty and of public
betterment, not ideals of colonial
ism. If those investors now
come to this country to inform
American public opinion, which
is the source of power in the

south of the Rio Grande. we are
certain that the American people,
with the understanding and
