Durante Varias semanas he

asesinados por los nazis. BESIDE
ell comienzo del nuevo terror
por Hitler, la Gestapo ha adopta
do, en- progression creciente, Ell
metodo del "asesinato en- ma

mayo mas de $50 rehenes han
,sido ejecutados en- ell oeste de
Europa, y la mismo suerte han
corrido miles de p~atriotas en- Po-
lonia Y en- las parties ocupadas
de Russia. Muchos de clos fue-
ron sentenciados por tribunales

Nevada a cabo de cualquier mo-
do; la inmensa mayoria fuerOn
condenados sin la pretensi6n de
una vista del proceso. Sc les sa-
CO de la carcel, fueron puestos
contra un muro y fusilados.
Las noticias que nos Hogan
concuerdan todas en- que las vic
timas de Hitler m~urieron cbn
un valor ejemplar. Los patios
de las carceles, donde los pique-
ties de ejecucion ~llevaron a cabo
.su horrible tarea, resonaron con
ell eco de los cantios de los con-
denados y los gritos de profe-
sion de fe y de lealtad hacia sus

naron tanto con ell valor Y espi-

BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 17--Min-
lister OF Agriculture Daniel Amadeo
Videla disclosed last night that
the United States and Great Britain
had reached an agreement under
which Britain will do all the buying
of Argentine meat for both coun-

He said negotiations on new
meat purchasing contract with Brit
ain already were under way and
that the British would serve as pur-
chasing agent for canned meat
which goes to the United States.
Practically the entire exportable
output of fresh meat will continue to

Designation of the British as pur-
chasing agent for the Allied Ma

the policy followed on other articles
