Stamp Commemorotes Argentine Uprising

A RGENTINA, today fighting in- ]A filtration of Nazi propaganda and trying to be a Good Neighbor, had a different problem on her hands a little less than 10 years ago.
 At that tirne-in September, 1930-Argentina was settling a political dispute in the traditional Latin style-by revolution. The stamp above, issued in 1880 short- ly after the uprising, depicts the march of the victorious insur- gents.
 The army rebels, led by Gen. Jose Evaristo Uriburo, busted President Irigoyen and Vice Presi- dent Dr. Martinez and set up a provisional government in Buenos Aires. Immediately the revolu- ton spread all over the Argentine and the Radical party was busted in favor of General Uriburo's Con- servatives.
 Irigoyen had been president of Argentina since 1916. During World War I he had steadfastly held to a policy of strict neutral ity, despite efforts of both the United States and members of his own government to persuade him to declare war on Germany.
 This World War policy of neu- trality was put to a severe test when the United States revealed secret documents dispatched by the German minister to Argentina in which Germany was urged to sink all Argentine ships.

 He didn't have the courage that you had in bringing my mother to your home 25 years ago. He is afraid of his mother and the people here, so we're playing a game of pretend for them. They don't know about that past. It's gone"
 He may not have had as much courage" said John Marshall slowly, "but he has better judg- ment. He probably knows his mother better than I knew mine.

extra special for him. l fixed up
his tray and prayed he would like

Did he like it? Well. he gave
me the prettiest smile. and
ordered them for his lunch and
