Communist Party issued a state
ment in which it expressed its
disagreement with President Artu-
ro Frondizi about the proposed
solution to the oil problem.
The Party recommends that those

countries which would be willing to
accept payment in Argentine agri-
cultural SURPRISES.
1t also recommends that oil
workers should have representa-

the payments can be made with
Argentine exports, and not with
money, and stresses the offer Of
the Soviet Union to send oil equip
ment to Argentina up to a value
of one billion dollars in exchange
for Argentine agricultural products
An editorial published in ia
