Arqentinu Reconsiders

Germany manifesto declaring tIle
entire Atlantic Coast of the United
States, from Eastport, Maine, to Key
West, Florida, a war zone into which
any ship, belligerent or neutral, that
enters will risk destruction after
June 26, has nowhere provoked
stronger repercussions than in Ar
gentina That South American coun-
try is vitality dependent upon foreign
trade, and during this abnormal war
period, most of it is being done with
the United States. One of the chief
arguments of the Castillo admins
tration for maintaining diplomatic
relations with the Axis and conduct
ing policy of neutrality is that
thereby Argentina's considerable
merchant marine could peacefully
sail the high seas and enter United
States ports Hitherto, only one
Argentine ship has been molested by
Axis U-boats, and this incident is in
process of diplomatic settlement.
Germany's new blockade threat
radically alters the situation. Theo-
retically, Argentine ships can still
trade with us through the port of
New Orleans, but less than 10 per
cent of Argentina's exports to the
United States normally 60 that way,
and railway transportation difficult
ties here would be heavy handicap
to effective trading by this round
about method.
Faced with this unpleasant pros
pect, even the Castillo administration
seems to be reconsidering its attitude.
The best indication of that is the
unanimous condemnation of Ger
many's manifesto in the Argentine
Parliament. That the Radical and
Socialist opposition should do so was
to be expected, since they have con-
sistently opposed isolationist neu-
trality and favored break with the
Axis. But the statement of Deputy
Reynaldo Pastor, floor leader of the
Conservatives in the Lower House
and acknowledged spokesman for the
government, is along the same lines
as the opposition. Germany's move,
he said, "signified the absolute aboli-
ton of the international concept of
neutrality" and he adjured Germany
to beware lest, when the hour of
peace comes, there will not be sin
gle neutral voice to sustain an i'm
partial judgment in the disposition
of the war"
Amplification of this seemingly in
spired official pronouncement is
awaited tomorrow, when Foreign
Minister Enrique Guinazu is slated to
make a declaration on the admins
tration's foreign policy before the
Chamber of Deputies. 1t may well
be that even the Castillo government
will feel impelled to modify its atti-
tude toward the Axis in face of this
insolent challenge. Radical Deputy
Cisneros undoubtedly voiced the pre-
vailing popular reaction in Argentina
when he remarked that this
blockade of the Atlantic Coast
means that a state of war has been
declared by Germany against the
American continent"

Differs With COlumnist
On Nazi Intelligence.

To the Editor OF The Star:
On June IL Dorothy Thompson pub
lished an article headed "Nazi Regime
Sick and Haunted by Deeds-Cannot
Be Judged by Normal Standards" in
which she says: There is nothing the
matter with the Nazi brain; there is
everything wrong with the Nazi soul and
psyche"
would like to suggest that she is
exactly wrong.
From my worm's-eye view of the situa-

Stresses "Great Advantage"
OF Sales Tax Expedient.
To the Editor Of The Star:
Is not the great advantage of general
sales tax the fact that 1t is the one tax
the only tax-that will be reduced
promptly when the emergency is over?
The other taxes are apt to be retained
long after they are unnecessary.

EUROPEAN REyOLr

After returning on the Drottning-
holm, Leland B. Morris, U. S.
charge d'affaires in Berlin, and
George Wadsworth, charge in Rome,
gave the senate foreign relations
committee some eye-opening slants
on international conditions in the
Axis countries, coupled with blunt
warning. The warning was:
Don't depend on the peoples Of
Germany and Italy revolving against
their masters" Y
There is only long-shot chance
of an Axis collapse through revolu-
ton, the two diplomats reported.
The German and Italian people, they
said, are under such severe mill
tary rule and surveillance, that 1t
would be extremely difficult to plan,
much less carry out, revolts at
present.
Morris, who served in Berlin
about Is months, also pooh-poohed
rumors that the German people are
not loyal to Hitler.
"They are weary Of war;" he
said, ''but they are still faithful
to Hitler. Make no mistake
about that. They may not con-
slider him the idol they once
did, but they are still behind
him. Anyone who thinks other
wise is fooling himself"
Asked about German morale"
{ Morris replied that from the stand
point of loyalty to the fuehrer, sit
was good"
Wadsworth said the Italian people
are kept in such subjugation and fear
by the Germans that it was difficult
to get true expression of their feel
ings, though the morale Of the Ital-
ians definitely was not as good as
that of the Germans.
''Do you think there is any pos
sibility Of a revolt in Italy in the
next year," he was asked.
81 do not" Wadsworth replied.

q Here is more good news for u. S.
cotton growers: Camoufiage re-
quirements in the far-f1ung war
areas are making heavy inroads IN
the huge cotton surplus. Vast
quantities of cotton cloth are being
bought by the army for camoufage
purposes.
q Suggestion to the army and navy
air branches: How about giving the
navigators and radio operators of
plane crews a favorable mention in
announcements Of successful at
tacks. Pilots and gunners, who of
course richly deserve credit, are al
ways cited.
