AAA Denies Fund Will Be Used To Import Argentine Corn
Agricultural officials reject claims that a $50 million revolving fund from the Reconstruction Finance Corp. would import Argentine corn to ease livestock feed shortages. Colonel Murphy of the AAA emphasizes no government plan exists for importing corn. small imports along coasts may occur for chicken feed, but inland shipment is deemed uneconomical. The fund aims domestically to curb speculation and support conservation of substitutes, with potential limited use for cane syrups in Cuba.
