who know about the survey told
United Press International that
the long statistical series justified
genuine confidence in the pers-
pertives of great future expansion

Their view point Is, that after
the present economic crisis, a new
cycle of economic development
and expansion Of industries in La
tin American countries will begin,
and that there will be a perman-
ent demand for more US. capital.
The physical resources for In
teramerican trade. such as the
banking systems and all forms of
transportation services. will serve
as a basis for a volume of business
greater than any known up to the
present time.
The disturbances In other parts
Of the world will oblige the Amer.

to more economic cooperation n

WASHINGTON -(UPD- The
Commerce Department announced
that, since the end of World War
II, economic relations between the
US. and Latin America have in
creased, with occasional drops
which have later been followed by
new trade, service and investment

The Economic Trade Office, of
this department published a stats
teal survey about the Internation-
al Payment Balance, which covers
the 1946-47 period. This study

a consortium made up of six pri-
vate US. and European compa-
MES, or that this corporation will
invest $500, 600, 900 in Argentina
oil development.
The Argentine Ambassador, &c.
sar Barros Hurtado, denied max.
ing any comment about these re.
ports which came from Buenos All
res and were published in New
York and Washington.
Other sources stated that the
Ambassador will leave for Buenos
Aires for "a consultation.
The diplomat explained that his
trip is routine, and pointed out
that he has been planning for
some time to return to Buenos
Aires around the 18th of July in
order to report to his government
about "his first impressions regar.
ding his mission.
Reactions among sources of pri-
vate industry in Washington were
varied.
Some have the opinion that the
amount of $500, 900, 900, unless it is
based on a period of several
years and the concrete discovery
of vast quantities of oil, is a little
high.
Others said that the figure is
reasonable. They pointed out,
for example,, that a group of in
dependant Texas oil men, headed
by Clint M%urchison, according to
what he had once reported, was
ready to make a 300 million dollar
investment in Argentina, if con.
ditionS were favorable.
They added that other US.
groups which have recently been
in Buenos Aires are the Standard
Oil OF Indiana, Pure Oil Co, Texas
Oil Company, and a Belgian group
An oil expert said that the Pla-
"a Hotel in Buenos Aires, is so full
