ARGENTINA WAITING
Is Attempting to Safe
guard Own Interests
Rather Than Make
Sudden Break

Buenos Ayres, Oct. o.-The Argentine
government is not prepared 10 follow the
action of Uruguay in severing relations with
Germany according to Foreign Minister
Pueyrredon. Argentina has not pledged her
neutrality, the foreign minister added, but
is attempting to safeguard her own inter-
ests. Relations with Germany will be broken
if sufficient cause arises. but as long as
Germany recognizes the Argentina flag and
respects the nation and the people there
probably will be no break.
Much surprise has been occasioned in
political circles here by the following
statement, said TO have been made by the
foreign minister of Uruguay in urging the
Uruguayan Congress TO break off relations
with Germany.
Uruguay a small nation between two
great ones. must seek a balance of force
to resist the possible hegemony or Argen-
tina with which nation we still have ques-
tons which not settled definitely This
balance consists in bringing closer together
Brazil and the states of connection with
the great states of the present conflict
that it will make impossible attack up
on Cruguayan sovereignty without an i'm
mediate reverberation throughout the Ameri-
can continent" The unsettled questions be-
tween Uruguay and Argentina concern the
river Plate. Argentina claims that the
river belongs to her, while Uruguay insists
that she owns half The dispute involves
the ownership of the important island of
Martin Garcia, now held b. Argentina.
