United Front Desired

There will be considerable disappointment if Argen- tine and Chile should refuse to join with the other nations of the Americas for presenting united front of Western Hemisphere countries against the Axis.
 It is not expected that all the Central and South Am erican republic will declare against the European and Asatic aggressors although many have done so, but it is hoped every of the western nations will break off diplomatic relations with the Berlin Rome and Tokyo governments.
 Even Argentine and Chile should decline to unite with the hemisphere front they could give material assistance to the enemies across the Atlantic the foe across the Pacific
 Shipments not only of supplies but also of other commodities to the Axis nations cannot pass in any considerable amount through the intervening waters patrolled by Allied sea and air forces
 Of course, it is not likely that Argentine and Chilean shipping, whatever the outcome of present parleys would attempt to run the ocean blockades.
 If the two hesitant South American countries should unite with their American neghbors in opposition the Axis the moral effect of the hemispherc attitude would be impressive than it otherwise would be That is all.
 Disagreement on the part of the two republics could not influence in any material way the outcome of the war

KEEPING
 HER LINK WITH AXIS

eiates the government, political newspaper may now exalt democ raey as compared to totalitarian- ism any more than fl may exalt toltalitarianism as compared to den ocracy. Nor may any Argen- reg. me, head of state or officials" of any beil.gerent nation, or that would disturb the friendly re- lations of the Argentine nation with other countries
 In other words no Argentine tne newspaper draw comparison between say, President Roosevelt and Adolf Hitler to the detri- ment of either.
 Since the whole Argentine press with a very few excep- ton strongly favors the demo- cratic cause, this is all to the ad- vantage of the Axis powers.

Dependence on U. s. Noted

BUENOS AIRES Argentina s pressing economic needs may in- fluence polit. cal decisions of the nations to the conference of For eign Ministers.
 The war has crippled Argen- tine economy, causing the loss of important foreign markets, mostly European. and a severe shipping shortage that has made the moving of Argentine pro- ducts to remaining market ser ious problem.
 Entry into the war of the Unit ed States-Argentine's best GUS toner and foremost supplier of manufactured and raw industrial products, as well as ships to carry her commerce-has dealt new blow to the national econ omy.

Guatemala Denies Execeutions

GUATEMALA - Guatemalian officials said today that the po- lice and army were controlling all activities of Axis nationals and declared false a dispatch in the Mexico City newspaper Ex- celsior to the effect that leaders of a totalitarian conspiracy to ov erthrow Guatemala's govern ment had been caught, court martialed and executed.

clarCd that it was estimated that Nazi Germany was at present spending between $25, ,000,000,000 to $30,000, 100000 a year for ac- tual weapons of war This figure he added was not the actual fig ure but "the comparable figure translated into American costs" " And on the same basis Great Britain and her dominions are expending about $20, ,000, 000, 900 annually.
 Production Still Low
 Despite the fact that this coun- try undertook a year ago to be- come the arsenal of democracy" Mir Willkie said that the United States had as yet scarcely begun to supply the production for the war and that during l94l the total American expenditures for military and naval purposes would total only about $12,500,- 000, 900 with large proportion of this amount being expended for new facilities food and quarter master supplies.
 Stripped to actual fighting ma terials the American effort is still very slight only a mere fifth of the German effort he said. And this figure includes lease-lend aid which has not yet reached $1,00O,O0O,0O0 including even such items as food and blan kets. And we do not know the extent of Japanese and Italian expenditures"
 To match Hitler on his own terms, to produce at the rate of even $30,O00,000,000 a year this country must face "the most pro- found dislocation in our lives" and all talk about sacrivces is altogether inadequate to des- cribe what we must do," MT. Willkie said.
 He added that he was convinc- ed all Americans would learn to get along "on the least we need, not on the most"
 Tn no direction that we turn do we find ease or comfort" he added. If we are honest and if we have the will to win we find only danger, hard work and iron resolution. That my felloW-Am- ericans, is the spirit of 1942: the will to win, the will to become strong and hard of muscle.
 Tn no other way can we, a free people. hope to overhelm these desperate and bloody con- querors who have enslaved their own peoples and have now de- stroyed most of the free peoples of the earth.
The Nome nugget., 1942-02-11

And let me say also, without fear, that we shall exact of our government this same deep will to victory, this same earnestness and honesty to which we now dedicate ourselves. This is a free country and even in wartime we can criticize our government and should do so the the occasion arises.
 We insist that our govern ment conduct itself in this war on the same basis as that on which it has conducted itself since the Hawaiian incident - bais of honesty and the facing of facts9'
 Calls on Free Americans"
 After appealing to the Admin istration and Congress to cut nou defense expenditures to the limit and urging labor and industry to stop their fighting and work for the common cause in an all-out production effort, MT. Willkie called upon the united free Am ericans" to carry on the fight to the death and final victory over the Axis.
 The fight is world wide" he concluded, and we shall have to be prepared to fight it all over the world. We must fight it witt, increased lease-lend aid. We must fight it with our Navy. We must fight it with our troops. We must gird ourselves for that task. We must see it clearly and we must see it whole.
 "Never-and I say it to you in measured words never has there existed on the surface of this planet so many human be- ings who know what freedom is and who are determined that. though it cost them their lives, it shall endure.
 Never has there existed such wealth of experience, not stor- ed in textbooks on dusty shelves but in the memory of living men: experience in democracy, exper- fence in it's weaknesses and fail ures and experience in how to meet those failures and weak neSseS.
 Out of this great knowledge we can say, with realistic confid- ence, that we shall be able to build a new and more fruitful society of nations, in which the principles of liberty shall not only be spread more widely but deep ly strengthened by the common purpose of free people every where to make freedom live"

By Arnaldo Cortesi

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, The Argentine Ambassador to Italy pr. Manuel Malbran, who came here a month ago to re- port to his government on the European situation, will leave for Rio de Janiero, Brazil enroute to Rome to resume his post, 1t was stated. Incidentally, he is sched uled to fly to Rio de Janiero in a Pan American AirWays plane.
 Dr. Malbran's return to Rome is taken as an indication the Ar genuine Government foresees no rupture of relations with the Axis countries, and this in turn suggests that it does not believe any general agreement will be reached al the Rio de Janiero cen ferences of the American repub- lies for the breaking off of re lations between all the Latin American countries and he pow CTS at war against the United States.
 This matter along with others of the same nature will be talk en al a Cabinet Council called for next Tuesday by Acting President Ramon s. Castillo to consider what instructions shall be given 10 the delegation that will represent Argentina in Rio de Janeiro.
 The Cabinets decisions are un- likely to be made public except, possibly in their broad lines, but everything leads to be belief that Argentina will hold to the view that South American coun- tries should remain neutral so far as it is compatible with a strict interpretation of the Pan anna and Havana compacts.
 Taking of Sides Forbidden
 The latest indication pointing in this direction is in the in- structions just given to local newspapers telling them what they may and may not print dur ing the present state of siege. The most significant points of these instructions are that the newspapers may print nothing that affect the neutrality of the

 The l940 Republican Presidential candidates appeal for all-out production egorts made in coaSt-to- coast radio speech broadcast by the Columbia Broad casting Company. At the outset of his address, MT WllIke declared that the American public must accept two facts in regard to the war The first is that because of modern weapons of warfare - swift warships and aircraft carriers and speeder long-range bombers Americas immunity to attacks from Asia and Europe because of it's geographical location is far less than used to be.
 Realization of Evil Forces
 The second was that Americans must now fully re- aize how evil these men are who are now engaged in destroying ciViizato neverywhere" Mir Willkie held that before the outbreak of war between the United States and Japan many Americans refused to believe that the Otatarian doctrine of world power and con- quest was aimed at the United States we'll the other deocraces It was inconceivable to us that the Japanese emporer man held in his counry to be de- vine should talk peace, not merely just before his air force attacked but hours after he had butchered Am ercan men and Women," MT.
