Washington, Dec. 6.
Administration officials are stated to be watching closely the efforts of Italian armaments firms to push sales in El Salvador, which is within easy air-raid distance of the Panama Canal.
The Italian Government does not maintain a military or air mission there, but the sales staff of an Italian arms' firms, consisting of four men, headed by a Colonel of the Italian Army Reserve, is felt to be larger than any anticipated profits would warrant, and the suspicion has been aroused' that it is subsidised by the Italian Government.
Relations between El Salvador and the United States have been strained for nearly ten years—Reuter.
