in this case the processing of wheat into flour. This is the reason given by
ECA for taking wheat alone, and being unable to take on other items, such
as barley, corn, sugar, and lard.
Export-Import Bank
The Bank can proceed without any further formalities in the nature of
an international agreement. The participation of Eximbank in the program
of actual purchases of foodstuffs amounts to $5.7 million. This includes
$2 million already authorized by the Bank for the purchase of the requirements
of beans, dried eggs, and meat, and an additional $3.7 million for the
financing of the urgently required amounts of barley, corn, and dried milk.
This total of $5.7 million would come out of the third credit of $15 million
extended by the Export-Import Bank to Yugoslavia. It is anticipated that
about half of the remaining unallocated funds of the Bank would be required
to finance the dollar freight costs for all of the emergency program and
the other half to finance the urgent requirements of Yugoslavia in spare
parts and equipment for the transport of the food supplies in deficitary
areas.
Department of Agriculture
The Department of Agriculture has refused so far to consider a more
liberal application of the statutory authority of the CCC to sell on credit
and of its authority to use Section 32 funds (customs revenue proceeds) to
finance any part of the required food shipments to Yugoslavia. The Department
of Agriculture admits that it has the authority and that there are no
statutory or legislative limitations to the use of the authority. It claims,
however, that it is unable to change its policies and practices as they have
been worked out to date as a result of consultations over a long period of
