Batas factories in South America were supplied with machinery from European holdings. and as I said the Nazis have been pushing machinery exports to get foreign exchange. I believe it will be of interest to our Ccordinator of Commercial and Cultural Relations with South America who just released information about the connections of some of the representatives of American concerns in South America with Nazi propagandists to check up on George Plihal. Batas South American manager. A peculiar and menacing thing to me is that this strange refugee Bata should select Belcamp. Md.. as a site for his American plant. Belcamp is in Harford County. a county noted for agricultural products but not an industrial county.
