Canada. Argentina was not mentioned. An ECA telegram
to Paris dated August 4 criticized Argentine soft
currency prices to France as being completely out of
line in comparison with U.S. prices and stated that
ECA was prepared to discuss with the French other
sources of coarse grains. Undoubtedly the purchases
in these other sources were to be financed with
dollars. Argentina was never given an opportunity to
bid on dollar sales of this nature.
27. ECA in August proposed to Paris that ECA,
as
in the case of Italy, make tentative allocations to
France which France could use in refusing Argentine
offers at prices in excess of U.S. prices and irrespec-
tive of the currencies in which the prices would be bid.
ECA stated that "until Argentina prepared to sell at
prices no higher than U.S., quality and delivery dates
considered, our hands tied. While certain Argentine
officials have been reported as saying that they were
prepared to meet U.S. prices, we know of no (repeat no)
such offer. If and when such offers are made, we desi-
rous of (a) having a payment made in so far as possible
by exports from receiving country or by credits
in meantime, will explore possibility of authorizing
procurement to France of at least some protion of de-
sired third quarter request for coarse grains from
other sources including U.S."

to dispose of Argentine exportable surpluses in the U.S.
