APPROPRIATION OF A
BRITISH FIRM TO BE
ASKED IN ARGENTINA

BUENoS AIRES, (UP).-Sena-
tor elect, RodOlfo Weiman, has
prepared a bill for the expropria-
ton of the Forestal Argentina, a
British company producing most
tannin in the world. The bill was
sent OF the Chamber of Deputies
which will consider it in the re-
gular period Of sessions, after
May /.
The Forestal Argentina, which
real name is Forestal Land and
Development Co., has some other
similar interests in other coun-
tries, South Africa included. Dur
ing Per6n's regime it had consi-
derable difficulties, when artifi-
cial maneuvering with the export
price of the tannin took place.
According to the bill, the gov
eminent will take charge of all the
land, factories, fields, plants, ad-

1--WE understand the difficulties
the mining industry in the United
States is facing, Lagarrigue said,
but we also understand it is unfair
to help this situation at the ex-
pense of the principal product of
Chile's export in these days in
which we are facing the worst
economic crisis ever had.
L~agarrigue made this declara-
ton to the United Press when he
stopped here on the way to London
to attend to an international con-
ference on the copper to be held
there.
Lagarrigue also said that there
is nothing new in the versions
that his Government has decided
to sell copper to the Soviet Union
and other communist block coun-
tries.
He added that copper sales to
communist countries are adjusted
to the rules accorded by free world
countries regarding strategic ma
terials, He also said that Chile
gave wide publicity to her deci-
sion to sell 10000 tons Of copper
wire to Russia and other com
munist countries.
The Chilean official said he had
spent some days here talking with
officials of the Commerce and
State Department about the Chile's
situation.
L~agarrigue said that the renewal
of the copper tariff, no matter how
small it will be, will destroy the
progress achieved by Chile, with
the aid of the United States, in
its efforts against initiation.
Seaton has declared that renew
ing the old tariff to the copper
now will prevent a raise later. The
suspension expires June 80 if 1t is
not extended before.
Copper exports to the United
States have been reduced greatly
in the last two or three years. In
1855 Chile sold to the United
States 500 of her total exports.
Today it sells 1879 only. This
difference means to Chile a loss
of 100000, 900. Lagarrigue figur-
ed out that in 1858 the percentage
will be from is to IL.
"We r meeting a hard situa-
ton, he said. The new tariff on
copper will paralyze our economy
and will destroy the efforts put
forth during years to offset infla-
ton and to stabilize our position.
Within six months we will be des-
troyed".
