Abstract
Description
Direct shipping service between the Argentine and Mexico not warranted; Argentina has nothing for export that Mexico needs except wheat, which she can get more easily from U.S. or Canada, and Mexico has few surpluses of any kind for shipment to Argentina; Counselor of Russian Embassy has spoken of getting Argentine meat for Russia through Mexico, and Russian Ambassador, [Constàntine A. Oumansky], has intimated that Mexico could get agricultural equipment from Russia; Russia making great demands on U.S. for agricultural equipment to meet her own needs; not likely she would have such equipment for export; thinks Ambassador merely trying to stir up trouble; he knows Mexico's need for farm equipment and that she cannot get as much as she needs from U.S.; Russia may become an industrial power after the war and a competitor in some fields of U.S., but it will not be in the immediate future.
