Exports Of Capital Goods to Latin
America Experienced Boon" in 1857

first half of 1857 imports from Lat
in America had advanced only no.
minally as compared with a year
ago, while during July-September
1857 such purchases were even
somewhat lower than in the same
months of 1856 Hence Latin Anne
rica's trade deficit with the United
States has mounted to an annual
rate of over Sill. billion in the
second and third quarters of 1857.
Recent economic developments
in individual countries underscore
the problems which may confront
some of our top Latin American
customers in attempting to main
tain or to increase further their
imports from the United States.
Although Ve~nezuela's international
reserves reached a new peak at
the end of September 1857, the
troleum output in recent months,
dulles called for by the Suez emer-
gency, may dampen, at least tenn
partial cutback In Venezuelan pc
from the record production sche-
porarily, the upswing in United
States exports to that country.
During the first eleven months Of
1857 our total shipments to Vene-
zuela had risen by almost go per
cent as compared with the CORES
ponding period of 1856 to an an
nual rate of over l billion.
Brazil's rising purchases of capt.
al equipment had boosted its total
imports from the United States
by go per cent in January-Novem-
Der 1857 as compared with the
same eleven months a year earlier.
Although in recent months Brazil
ian economic prospects have i'm
proved somewhat as cocoa prices
strengthened and the coffee mar
ket recovered from its easkness
earlier in the season, Brazil's dol
lar supply remained very tight be
cause of other large dollar obliga-
tons and the higher imports from,
and lower exports to, the United
! States.

tries had caused corcern in the
United States.
"The position assumed by the
nations in the present time in the
international affairs is fundamen-
tai he added. The Argentine soil
darity must be clear and precise
before the nations struggling for
the defense of living standards
and western culture.
Corominas Segura, in first place
said: "The Nations forming the
Fund, make a yearly stduy toge-
Their with the officers of the ms
titution, of the money exchange in
force as well as of the efforts rea-
lized to simplify it. They estima-
tie the balance of payments, the
result Of the credits attained, as
well as the fiscalization adopted
in each one of them. 1t is worthy
of mention the various factors
responsible to maintain the eco
nomic stability and their perma-
nente fight against initiation.
Asked about possible credits re.
quests by Argentina, he answer
ed that "in the international none
tary Fund there is not any pend
ing request of new credits, nor at
the World Bank.
Referring to the oil plan of the
Argentine Ambassador in Wash
ington, Mauricio Yadarola, he said
it has been "faborably" accepted,
in us. economic circles, although
details are not known.
Yadarola's plan, in general, pro-
poses contracting with foreign
companies to drill and exploit the
oil for the account of Argentine
Government, who will pay them
with part of the oil obtained.
CorominaS announced he will
see the Finance Minister to talk
about the terms of the credit of
rs million dollars granted to Ar
gentine by the International ms
titution. After that he will go to
Uruguay, Paraguay and Chile and
will return to Buenos Aires around
the 18th.
Further referring to his opinion
of the Argentine mission to the
communist countries, Corominas Sc
gura affirmed: "ThoSe missions
must be prepared, informing pu-
bile opinion of the content and sig
~nificance of same, as well as the
information with regard to their
activities must be precise and
adjusted to abosulte truth, in or
der to avoid contradictions which
tend to affect of the people and
governments reputation.
Every move by Argentine has an
extraordinary repercussion in La

WASHINGTON West Ger
many has recovered a substantial
share of her traditional foothold

now stands second only to the
United States in trade with Latin
America, In 1855, the Federal Ger
man Republic bought S767 mil
lion OF Latin American products
and exported goods worth 1878
million to the area.
The West German industrial
boom has increased the demand for
Latin American raw materials. In
1856, exports of raw materials from
Latin American countries to the
Federal, Republic reached a total
of $219 million, more than double
the 1852 level. Leading the list
were textile fibers, metal pres and
scrap and semi-processed metals.
In turn, West Germany exported
goods for a total of $573 million
to Latin America. Almost one-half
of imports from Germany were
machinery and vehicles, electrical
equipment, chemicals, medicines
and pharmaceuticals.
Mexico and the major countries
of South America accounted for
close to four-fifths of West German
trade with Latin America in 1855.
Argentina headed the list last year
with exports of $146 million and
imports of 500 million. Exports
increased 46 per cent in the years

Drive For Comperships
For Needy Is Opened

A communicated appeal for the sponsoring OF
campershps for the Center's day and play camps has
been issued by Mrs. Elmer Goldwyn, campership
chairman.
Camperships are granted to less-chance young
sters who need the values of camping and yet cannot
be sent because of their families economic circum-
stances.
Camperships are $1OO per yOungster for the en-
tire summer, $50 for month and S25 for a 2-week
campershp. Contributions be made by mailing
checks to Mrs Goldwyn or the Center office.
Here are some typical cases investigated for
issuing of campershps to the Center for the
CASE A-The father of this family had been
hosptaliZed for many years due to emotional dis
turbance The mother forced to earn living for her
and her daughter being helped through voca-
tional rehabilitation to become secretary The young
daughter sent to stay with relatives But the
relatives were elderly people and could not give the
youngster needed and attention during the sum-
mer months. The youngster also was beginning to
show behaviour problems at school, The school COun-
selor called Jewish Social Service for help in planning
summer activity Tor the yOungSter camperShip will
send this youngster to Center camp this summer.
CASE B-Mrs. S. is widow and works fulltime.
However her salary will not cover the expense OF
tull-t time housekeeper during the summer months
when her four youngsters home from school, Her
two older youngsters will seek part-tme employment.
What can she do with the other two youngsters Mrs
S. cannot afford the cost of summer camping. But
camperships can help her two youngsters this sum-
CASE C-Mr. Y. was stricken by heart attack.
Medical expenses rolled up and he no longer could
give his family all the things he wished His doctor
advised complete quiet for the summer The family
cannot afford to send youngster to camp for Mrs
Y must devote fulltime to nursing her husband A
campership would solve their problem this summer.
CASE D-Daniel is a sensitive withdrawn, physl-
caIIy-sIight youngster He has had many problems at
school, The school psychiatrist recommends summer
camping for the youngster But the family has very
moderate means The family is more than willing to
pay part of the COSTS but help is needed The psycha
trst feels that summer camping will help make bet
ter youngster of Daniel. He has been recommended
for campership at the Center this summer.
(NOTE: The above cases were taken from the
files of the Tucson Jewish Social Service which makes
careful study of all requests for family aid. Mrs.
