Latin America Secures

War Goods From U.S.

By OTTO JANSSEN

United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29 (UP).—The Latin Ameri- can republics and several of the small European colonies in the New World have obtained licences for export of nearly $9,000,000 worth of war materials from the United States during the first nine months of this year, State Department statistics reveal.

Brazil was by far the largest bayer among the Latin Ameri- can republics, obtaining licences for the shipment of over $4,500,- 000 worth of military aircraft, guns, ammunition and other war materials. Brazil's purchases were slightly larger than those of all the other republica combined.

The figures do not include Canada, which obtained export licences total- ling nearly $10,500,000 in the nine- months period. It is believed, how ever, that much of the equipment purchased was used overseas, where- as most or all of the purchases made by the other Western Hemisphere countries 'were retained by them for building up their own defences.

A large part of the expenditures of the Latin American republies were for aircraft and aircraft porta. For example, Brazil spent more than $2,500,000 for materials in this cale- Kory, The bulk of Argentina's ex- penditures were for aircraft, engines, and accessories.

Other large expenditures of the American republics were for rifles and carbines, revolvers and auto- matic pistola and ammunition. There were also some purchases of pro- pellant powders such as TN.T. but they were small.

Purchase Of Gas

The only purchase of gas was by Mexico and this was extremely small, _totalling_only_$175 for the whole

nine-month period.
