ASKS THAT ARGENTINE
SHIPS BE NOT SUNK

mo. 80, August 49, 1917. Reference to
your telegram No. 1866. Secret. I have
had long and agitated conference with
President He is conscious that there
have been errors in the past and has firm
intention of adhering to neutrality and
it is asserted that all pending conflicts
may be settled on loyal broad lines on
a basis of mutual confidence. He rec
ommends that an early settlement should
be arrived at. First, instead of there
being a protocol Argentine ships should
on the one hand tacitly be spared and on
the other be prevented from going to sea.
AS a matter of fact the use OF the
Argentine flag has latterly been refused
repeatedly. Moreover, shipbuilding ma
terial is exhausted. Continuation fol-

your excellency or of the imperial lega-
ton, the lines of which were telegraphed
to Molina at the Presidents wish, a large
hearted solution should be arrived at out
of friendship. There should be assur-
ance that Argentine ships will not be
harmed and that freedom of movement
will be allowed them in accordance with
International law. AS regards Toro in
demnity there should be same procedure
as in the case of the Monte Protegido
but ships value should only come in so
far as it is not covered by insurance.

TENDER and most of it deals directly
with the negotiations then in progress
over the sinking of Argentine ships by
German submarines. Before the mes
sages fell into the hands of the Ameri-
can government Germany virtually had
settled the matter by agreeing to pay
indemnity and to treat Argentine ships
according to international law. The Sc

on it's side, was to keep it's ships out of
danger by not allowing them to sail for
the war zone, an easy task in view OF

eign minister and upon his influence
with the President. Finally, he was con-
Quoting negotiations directly with the
President, although the foreign MINIS
ters attitude made this troublesome.
How far President Irigoyens project
for an anti-North American alliance
went, the correspondence does not de-
velop. 1t merely says that he made up
his mind to conclude the agreement with
Bolivia and Chile, "a mutual raproche-
ment for protection Wis Wis North
America" being the purpose as described.
In the concluding telegram of the Sc
ries, however, Luxburg, addressing an un-
named person in Santiago, Chile, prob
ably the German minister there says
that as long as Chile is neutral, Ger
many, after thS. war, will be able to
carry out her SoSth American policy just
as we'll If not more easily in opposition
to "an infatuated and misguided Ar
gentina as with Argentina on her side
This apparently was written when the
likelihood of the President holding Ar
gentina out of the war appeared to be
fading.
Minister Naon OF Argentina declined
tonight to make any comment upon the
matter, further than to say that the
statement of the foreign minister covered
the situation. He was advised of the
purpose of the United States and his
government to make the messages public
here and at Buenos Aires simultaneously.
ARGENTINE MINISTER'S
STATEMENT AND TELEGRAMS
Following is the statement of the
Argentine minister OF foreign affairs
given out with the Luxburg tele-
grams:
1.-THE kilograms which appear below
are all that the Argentine ministry
for foreign affairs received from the
embassy in Washington of which the
translations were made by the depart
ment of state in the United States.
There are three kilograms not pub
lished as they allude solely to the
republics of Chile and Uruguay. The
government has decided that it should
not publish these kilograms and has
delivered them to the respective chan
cellories
'sFhe kilograms show number
of inaccuracies surprising that
no cpithet will fit them, as they
are Mt complete variance, both In
substance and form, with the
terms I'm which the negotiations
were entered into, carried on and
brought to conclusion"
The German charge messages were
sent during last July. August and
September. All are addressed to Ber-
lin and signed "Luxburg." Following
are the texts in order which they were
made public:
