Argentina Reorients Trade Pulling U S From Market
Argentina's finance minister Pedro Groppo announced a sharp 40 percent cut in imports from the United States to restore a favorable balance of trade. He said the reduction would use import permit withdrawals and was not aimed at Europe, but would shift potential business toward Germany and Britain while rejecting a most favored nation accord. The move follows a push to cut US imports to prewar levels and adjust the economy to new world commerce demands.

Hitler Was No Bluffer Says Aviation Writer
Philadelphia writer S Paul Johnston argues in Aviation that Germany hides key aircraft plants deep in forests and runs a highly bomb conscious industry with as many as 200000 workers. He claims Germany leads air preparedness, while England trails in aircraft production and pilot training. France ranks last among major powers, with Italy better off than both. He speculates a European war could see waves of German bombers crossing borders at night or in bad weather carrying heavy loads.
