Just to make the picture clear where it counted, ECA sent ex-Assistant Secretary of the Navy H. Struve Hensel down to Buenos Aires (with his bride-his second) to pass the word to Juan Perón & Co. "Why should we pour dollars down here," he asked Argentines, "for something we can buy cheaper elsewhere...
...that mean that ECA wanted none of the grain from bulging River Plate elevators? Not exactly, answered Hensel, but Argentina would have to "go out and get the market"-i.e., bargain with the U.S. ECA's terms: 1) no more price-gouging (Eire recently paid $6.85 a bushel for Argentine wheat-July futures at Chicago are now $2.31); 2) no more state trading practices such as have throttled U.S. business firms in Argentina; 3) a pledge that Argentina will underwrite some of the costs of feeding Europe...

Edwards, on the one hand, and brilliant H. (for Herman) Struve Hensel, also a graduate of Princeton, ex-Wall Street attorney, on the other. Roosevelt lifted Hensel out of the Navy's Legal Department into an Assistant Secretaryship. There are many and various men around him: Artemus L. Gates, onetime Yale football captain, Navy pilot in World War I, ex-president...
