quantities than can be consumed.
Thus, the United States remains
the logical competitor OF Argen.
tina for European markets.
This fact is reason enough for
Argentina TO oppose Panamerican-
ism which North Americans want
established. To this can be added
that all Argentine governments up
to now have not been able TO fol-
low a genuine Panamerican policy
because they have had blindly 10

Old Rivalry
From this We may deduce that
the strong opposition between Ar
gentina and the United States is
no more than the old rivalry be
tween Great Britain and the Uni
ted States. Realizing this, North
America has a great interest in
iomenting Pan.Americanism in Ar
genttna-by any possible means.
In other words, Argentina remains
the weakest point in the Pan
American front.
Germany is obliged to press a
policy in opposition to North
American hegemony since a large
scale military expedition from
Europe is. known to be impossible
Thus. We must employ economic,
political, and diplomatic measures
calculated to bring us to our final
objective. These measures will be
partly defensive and partly otfe1,
sive, defensive in that during the
war we must do everything pos
sible to block the plans of the Uai-
ted States with regard to Argen-
tina.
Some OF this work has already
beeh successful. Our intimate
knowledge OF the country's parti-
GUAR economic plight as-well as
OF its political disunion enables us
to align our interests with Argen-
tine interests, thus dominating its
economic policy at the expense OF
the United States. This DONNA
ton permits us great latitude Of
movement for the future.

"Argentina's political isolation
with respect to Pan-Americanism
has the utmost Importance Cor

OF the German plans will take
place as soon as England is con-
quered. Although at present II is
not possible to mention an exact

there Is an absolute certainty that
the English power will be broken
this year. This our Fuehrer has
assured us, and there Is the
guarantee Of German military pow

"Our duty now until the end Of
the war consists OF firmly main
tanning our conviction that Argen-
tina will be given a new start in
commercial relations under the
direction of Adolf Hitler when he
dominates all Europe.
1T is our duty to improve the
ground in Argentina for our ulti-
mate objective, and to perfect the

object should be not only the poll

this way We can shatter the con-

attention. The two major parties

At present. we have a good deal

to make the division Of interests

When the people decide that

Army Powerful

people. For the present we must
try to get high officers to sympa-

sure to neutralize any action
brought to bear in opposition to
us, using any necessary means
even including sabotage-to attain
our ends.
