...lead, zinc, petroleum) and Western Europe (sugar, beef) in particular-are lending a more sympathetic ear to the protectionist pleas of their own producers, establishing quotas or tightening tariff barriers to favor agriculture and mining at home.

Brazil sometimes sets quotas on cotton and sugar exports; Uruguay imposes a 20% surtax on export wool. Other nations peg their export prices without making any provision for the inflation that gallops through most of Latin America...

Last week, in Latin American Business Highlights, the Chase Manhattan Bank examined the dimensions of the malady. Of the 20 Latin American nations, 14 depend on one commodity for at least 50% of their export income (see chart).

The three of them, meeting informally and often, kept adjusting music, choreography and set designs as they went along, improvising freely. Six hours before curtain time, Robbins' talented Ballets U.S.A. troupe had still not run completely through the work, and Composer Prince was still frantically writing...
...With soil so rich that almost any crop will grow, Brazil is potentially one of the world's greatest agricultural nations. It exports cognac, champagne and wine to Argentina, the U.S. and Europe-including 30 million liters last year to France. It is the world's No. 1 producer and exporter of coffee, ranks seventh in soybeans and rice; sixth in tomatoes, sweet potatoes and peanuts; fifth in jute; fourth in tobacco and cotton; second in sisal, cane sugar, cacao, corn, oranges. Yet its agricultural technology is primitive and its export potentiality (it grows more bananas and pineapple...
