Argentine Landlords Block Rio Talks At Pan American Meet
In Rio, rich hacienda owners in Argentina resisted moves toward severing diplomatic ties with the United States. Argentine delegate Dr Ruiz Guinazu faced pressure to placate powerful landlords while U S aims to pool ships and boost raw material purchases.
