Brazilian pilots are to be allowed to fly planes
of the Condor Airline, a German-sponsorec
Brazilian corporation, over Argentina. But the
net result has been to forced suspension of the
service since practically the entire skilled pr
sonnel of the airline is German.
This is important because Nazi domination
Of Latin-American air services represents an
active threat to these countries to the south.
1t is significant because Argentina has Jagged
behind her neighbors in recognizing the dan
ger which intensive Nazi penetration repre-
sents and in her willingness to cooperate with
the United States.
Our job in defending this hemisphere can
be made great deal easier if the govern
ments of Latin-America actively oppose the
activities of agents of aggressor powers. To
day, at least, they are on their way toward
bolstering their and our security.

Argentina Lining Up

From the time when it was inaugurated
the good-neighbor policy has been largely a
one-way road. We have striven constantly to
convince Latin-America of our good intentions.
But with rare exceptions most of the good
will gestures which meant anything in terms
OF actual cooperation have been coming from
our side.
Recently, however, the evidence that the
countries of Central and South America are
beginning to see things our way has been
|accumulating to gratifying degree. The Ha-
Vana conference marked major step for
ward from previous Pan-Amerioan parleys
uniformly barren of results The strenuous
effort made by Uruguay to crush out Nazi
fltth-column activities, are among many signs
that our neighbors are becoming increasingly
conscious of the necessity of presenting a Joint
front to the aggressor nations.
Now the Argentine Civil Aeronautics Author.
lty has made ruling which hits at Nazi
activities in an important field. The apparent.
'V innocent order requires that only native
