i'ne rollowing is submitted in an attempt to clarify the matter of the'
Rumanian gold shipments which arrived in Argentina in February 1951.'
1. On 10 February 1951 a shipment of 9.,00 2 kilos of gold arrived in Buenos
Aires.. Another shipment of 10,557 kilos of gold arrived on 15 February
1951. This total of 19,559 kilos liquidated the amount owed to Argei-
tina by Rumania as a result of the favorable balance of trade betweeY
these two countries. csv
2. The Swiss press report dated ]J4 February 1951, referring to a shipment
of nine tons of gold, was undoubtedly that which arrived in Argentina
on 10 February. The Swiss press report dated 22 February, referring to
the receipt of two shipments of gold amounting to nearly a0 tons, prob-
ably meant the nine tons which arrived on 10 February plus the l0a tons
which arrived on 15 February.
3. It is believed that only two shipments of gold were received in Argentina
from Rumania and the confusion that there were three shipments is due
to the second Swiss press report, which added the amounts of both ship-
ments. As of 15 October 1951 no information had been developed to in-
dicate that an additional shipment of nine tons of gold was received in
Argentina from Rumania.
