Nations urged to join talks on trade bill proposal
At the Pan American financial conference in Washington on May 27 a plan for a U.S. dollar based bills of exchange market was presented. Backers include Guggenheim Copper, Bethlehem Steel, and Du Pont Powder, with potential $20 million yearly volume. Chile may adopt legal tender status for nine day bills and bills drawn on U.S. banks to ease duties and purchases in Chile. The plan aims to spur South American adoption and improve steamship subsidies, with Argentina seeking action from the U.S., Brazil, and Argentina to prevent postwar shipping issues.
