In answer to the first part of the supplementary, it was not exactly a question of an I.E.F.C. allocation, because during last year they had this ruling which prohibited the importation of maize for feedingstuffs at all. In answer to the second part of the question, I saw the statement by Senor Miranda, and it appeared to be an attempt on his part to combat exaggerated views on the part of the Argentine growers as to the prices which might be available. I would not like to say anything which would hinder Senor Miranda in that task.
