For your information, the British Prime Minister informed 
      the President on November 26 that British meat purchases from 
      Argentina will be continued on a month to month basis for six 
      months from December 1, 1944. In thus agreeing to postpone the 
      conclusion of the contract, it was also pointed out that the 
      British desire our cooperation in keeping other buyers out of 
      the Argentine market and in making sure that they do not (repeat 
                not) get refrigerated cargo space.
