will probably continue to abstain
from having any participation in
any international coffee agree.
ment.
Rubottom stressed the view
point of the U S. in a speech
which he prepared for the 47th
annual Assembly of the National
Coffee Association, which is being
held in this city.
His statement surprised no one.
1t was only a reiteration of this
country's government policies. The
US. gave her position about this
matter in the Inter American So.
cial and Economic Council of the
Organization of American States
over two years ago, when the Co,
uncil started to study the con-
venience of an international co.
flee agreement.
Nevertheless, the statement is
considered as especially significant
at this time, since the Latin
American coffee producing coun.
tries will meet in Rio de Janiero
on the Goth of this month to dis.
cuss an International coffee agree
ment.
The US. will have observers at
the Rio Conference and Rubotton
said that he was confident what
the meeting will produce good
results.
He added nevertheless, that the
us. will maintain her same posi-
ton as in 1856, although he stated
that the us. government has not
studied this matter during the last
few months.
