Britain and France Issue Walts Blacklists in War Economy
Britain's Ministry of Economic Warfare and the French government have issued four and two blacklists respectively, naming 226 Latin American firms tied to Germany, Russia, or Japan. Most of these firms also trade with the United States, prompting American firms to fear reprisals if they continue dealings with the blacklisted Latin American houses. Canadians, despite wartime, freely trade with these firms, while American and British firms fear lack of enforcement and repeat past wartime economic pressure.

The article contrasts Wilson and Roosevelt in their handling of Allied dependence on American industry, warning that wartime diplomacy mirrors the 1915 to 1916 period. It argues that threats to cut loans or embargo goods would backfire due to the intertwined economies and election pressures. It notes gray parallels to 1940s policy and the push for aid to Finland and Sweden, ending with a remark on Nevada’s sparse population.
