ARGENTINE WILL BE
NEUTRAL; POSITION
OF u, S, JUSTIFIED

Buenos Aires, April 11.-Argentine
today formally recognized the Justice
Of Americas declaration Of a state OF
war against Germany, but announced
her strict continuance as a neutral.
Just exactly what the formal an
nouncement means, was not clear-but
it was accepted as plain bid to pla-
cate the United States in the hope OF
averting a threatened embargo on
coal to Argentine.
The announcement showed clearly
that while Argentine maintained her
present status as neutral, she had
not decided as yet on a future course.
ARGENTINE's DECREE.
The formal decree announcing Ar
gentine's policy contained this state
ment:
In view Of the causes which induced
the United States to declare war on
Germany, the Argentine government
recognizes the right of this decision,
because it was due to violations of
principles OF neutrality consecrated by
the rules OF international law which
were considered as definite gains of
civilization"
From the highest source today 1t
was learned that Argentine intends
strict continuance of her neutrality,
unless either side violates her rights"
Leaders figured today that Argen-
tlnc was neither neutral nor unneutral.
The prediction was widely voiced that
the republic would speedily be involved
in the war.
simultaneously with his proclama-
tion, President Irigoyen ordered fed
eral Intervention in Buenos Aires prov
ince to supplant Governor Ukarte on
account of his disaffection toward
Irigoyen.
