...rate, our Argentine distributor saw the Director General of Customs, who said that his orders to ban TIME had come down from the Ministry of Finance. Our Buenos Aires Correspondent (at that time, William Johnson) talked to the Subsecretariat of Information and Press, which denied all responsibility for the ban or even knowing about it.
