Latins Seek U S Backing to Oppose Coffee Drinking Drive
Latin American coffee producers pressed for U S support against a campaign in the United States to curb coffee use by lowering prices. At the Pan American Union the Inter American Coffee Commission debated two resolutions urging action, with U S delegate Edward G. Cale abstaining on the milder version pending State Department guidance. The group shifted from an earlier hard line proposed by Colombia, Brazil, El Salvador and Mexico, which warned of economic aggression and sought Caracas consideration, but that language was not adopted.
