that British aviation interests are taking full advantage of US res-
trictions on the sale of aircraft to Argentina. The British Embassy
in Buenos Aires has acknowledged receiving an order for 20 Vickers-
Viking planes for the Government airline "Fama" and has admitted
that negotiations for the purchase of 500 aircraft engines are well
advanced. .
BRAZIL: Sale of arms to Dominican Republic--Embassy Rio '
reports that a Major Cobian Parra of the Dominican Republic was
about to conclude the purchase of certain arms and ammunition from
the Brazilian Government. The Brazilian Foreign Office made no
objection to the sale since the Dominican Ambassador was sponsor-
ing the purchase. The Brazilian Minister of War, however, readily
consented to suspend the sale for the time being in order that the
US Military Attache might determine if there were any "political
complications" connected with the transaction.
