 INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS OTHER THAN TREATIES [59 STAT. ing from the 1945-1946 crop; provided that in no event shall the U.S. Commercial Company be required to deliver fuel oil of a caloric value in excess of the total caloric value of the exportable surpluses of all of the flaxseed or its products delivered under this contract. 2. The U.S. Commercial Company agrees to make available south- bound tank space for delivery of not less than 100,000 (One Hundred Thousand) metric tons of fuel oil, applying to the first quantity of 500,000 (Five Hundred Thousand) metric tons to be supplied under Paragraph A-i above, during a twelve-months period counted from the date of this agreement with a monthly minimum of approxi- mately 5000 (Five Thousand) tons and, in addition, southbound tank space for delivery of not less than 100,000 (One Hundred Thousand) tons or 20% (Twenty Percent), whichever is higher, of the quantity of fuel oil provided in that paragraph as applying to the 1945-1946 crop, such space to be made available in the monthly amounts which may prove feasible, and in any event to be completed by December 31, 1946. 3. It is understood that as to the remainder of the fuel oil to be supplied, no responsibility for providing transportation rests with the U.S. Commercial Company, although it is hoped that facilities in addition to those now available to the United States Government may present themselves before the conclusion of the period. 4. Also, in addition to the foregoing quantities of fuel oil, the quantity of approximately 15,000 (Fifteen Thousand) metric tons of fuel oil now held by the Companfia Argentina de Navegaci 6 n Dodero, S.A. in Buenos Aires will be released for internal consumption in Argentina and it is clearly understood that a quantity of flaxseed and its products, equivalent to the caloric value of this fuel oil, will be made available for delivery under this agreement in the course of the first eight months. 5.
