the countries, and a Polish mission in a fourth.
Brazilian officials have recently stated that there is
no apparent reason for breaking relations with the Satellites
so long as the United States does not do so. A similar re-
action could probably be expected from Mexico and Uruguay and
also from Argentina, which receives significant quantities of
manufactured goods from Czechoslovakia.
