§ 13. Sir ARTHUR MICHAEL SAMUELasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether there have been, or will be, any trade reciprocity discussions between the representatives of the Argentine Government and of Great Britain regarding such of the Ottawa Conference proposals as refer to British imports of wheat and meat; and will he take an opportunity of representing to the Argentine Government that British savings have developed the Argentine railway and tramways systems?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Eden)Yes, Sir. An exchange of views is already taking place. As regards the second part of the question, the Argentine Government are necessarily aware of the facts to which my hon. Friend calls attention.
§ Sir A. M. SAMUELWill my hon. Friend make it abundantly clear during the negotiations that no arrangement will be acceptable to the British people unless greater consideration is shown by the Argentine Government and people to British savings invested in Argentine railways and tramways?
§ Mr. MORGAN JONESHas the prospective visit of the Vice-President of the Argentine Republic anything to do with this subject?
§ Sir PERCY HURDHave representations also been made to the Argentine that it is a cardinal feature of British policy that the first place in British markets belongs to the British home producer and that no policy will be entered upon which breaks that policy?
