Washington, September 19-News
that the Argentine Senate had voted
overwhelmingly to sever diplomatic
relations with Germany was received
in Washington tonight with gratifica-
ton and no little surprise.
Officials had recognized that recent
disclosures concerning cablegrams
sent to Berlin by the German minister
at Buenos Aires through the Swedish
foreign offic had aggravated the situa-
ton brought about by Germans sink
ing of Argentine ships, tbut 1t had
been assumed, that with the German
minister handed his passports, no fur
Their official action would be taken
pending receipt of Berdin's explana-
ton of the messages.
Although it is understood the State
Departments purpose in making pub
lie copies Of the cablegrams was only
to expose the Germany governments
world wide system of duplicity and
intrigue, 1t is no secret that Argen'
tines participation in the war would
be welcomed.
Even the breaking off of relations,
1t is pointed out, would have power
full effect on public opinion in all
South American countries where Ger
man influences are kown to be
strong. That action also probably
would result in considerable material
benefit to the allies by restricting
Argentine grain and meat exorts to
neutral countries through which they
might find their way to Germany.
Argentine Is now the only great neu-
trail food producing country.
