Economic Collapse
OF Enemy Not Near,
BEW Chief Says
Perkins, However, Cites
Ways Allies Can Weaken
Foe During l943
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Board of Economic Warfare
described Germany last night as
still economically formidable" and
Japan definitely stronger in war
materials than a year ago. but with
major shipping weakness.
While conceding that our enemies
are still long way from economic
collapse. Milo Perkins. BEW execu-
tive director, made these observa-
tions with some degree of hope
fulness":
l. Sharply increased air attacks
during l943 on Hitler's industrial
Europe can materially weaken Ger
many's present economic position.
2. Sharply increased attacks on
the Japanese merchant marine
both by air and sea, can materially
weaken Japan's chance to make full
use of the raw materials she has
looted in her conquest.
In a balance sheet" Of Axis
strength and weakness at the be-
ginning of the New Year, BEW
summarized the European Axis
position in relation to its enemies
as follows:
Germany has passed its peak pro-
duction. The United Nations have
not reached theirs. The United Ma
tions can look forward to rates OF
production much higher than Ger
many's in all classifica tions Of i'm
plements of war Nevertheless
should Germany adopt defensive
policy its present economic base for
the support of that type of warfare
would be formidable
While Germany may be able to
continue its present rate of produc-
tion in 1943, BEW predicted that she
would be unable to increase it.
Nazi Crackup Unlikely.
without greatly increased bomb
ing damage or developments which
would force Germany to higher
rate of military activity. as in Rus
sia, there Is no reason to expect an
economic crackup in Germany this
year." BEW said.
THE German diet Is superior to
that Of 1918. though meat is scarce
and fats and oils available are less
than one half of requirements. The
1912 grain crop was better than aver
age and the potato crop may have
set record permitting marked in
crease in the potato ration.
"Other civilian supplies, while low,
are well organized and efficiently
distributed.
Because Germany holds much
wider areas than in World War l,
it is much less less susceptible to
blockade. Nevertheless enforcement
Of the economic Imprisonment Of
Axis Europe must be continued. The
blockade forces Germany to wasteful
and inferior substitutes for many
raw materials, clothing and some
foods"
Economically. italy was called mot
an asset to the Axis" because Ger
many must strain rail transportation
facilities to ship huge quantities of
coal and iron to its southern partner.
The Italian diet today is much
worse than the German BEW
said. THE government is unable to
control black market trafic In food
However, collapse Of Italy In l943
from economic causes cannot be ex-
pected." .e4..., plt
Unlike Germany. BEW said, Japan
has not reached peak production,
| and now possesses raw materials for
a greatly expanded economy. Japan
however, has neither the shipping
nor the processing capacity to utilize
iuliy the newly acquired raw ma
terials and conquered manpower of
Southern Asia

Argentina's Retort
To British indicates
Continued Axis Ties
Foreign Minister Says
He Is 'Astonished' at
EneIund's Attitude
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, Jan. IA
vigorous Argentine retort to an
official British statement criti-
cizing Argentine foreign policy
led political observers today to
believe there is small chance Of
this country's severing relations
with the Axis powers-at least
for the present.
The Argentine reply was con-
tanned in a 2OO-word communicate
issued last night by Foreign Min
lister Enrique Ruiz Guinazu in
which he expressed "astonishment"
at the British statement and de-
clared it had been couched lin terms
which are not in keeping with the
friendly relations between the two
countries"
The statement to which he re-
ferred, issued yesterday by the Brit
ish Foreign Office, had deplored the
fact that Argentina has continued
to maintain relations with "the en-
emies of humanity"
TN Washington the State De-
| partment late yesterday said the
United States is in full accord
| with the British announcement
deploring Argentina's policy)
Seeks to Correct Reports,
In issuing the statement, the
British Foreign Ofice declared it
wished to correct reports which 1t
attributed to Buenos Aires news
papers and an Argentine oficial
publication creating the erroneous
impression that England was sup
porting Argentinas S neutrality policy.
In his reply, Ruiz Guinazu de-
clared the British statement had
been based ION serious error by
the British Foreign Office in attrib-
uting to an Argentine official pub
lication what that publication never
suggested or intended to suggest"
! Al LIle SAME JlIllc, tllc 1Ul clsll
minister added, "the Argentine gov
ernment is astonished that the Eng
lish Foreign Office pronounces itself
regarding the Argentine political at
titude in terms which are not in
keeping with friendly relations be-
tween the two countries"
Points to Rio Conference.
The communique also called at
tention to the action Of the State
Department in Washington in in
dorsing the British statement by
reminding American officials that, in
keeping with the recommendations
Of the Rio de Janeiro conference.
, Argentina considers she can only
, break relations with the Axis powers
when it Is convenient to her own
interests.
In the case Of the United States"
Ruiz Guinazu said, this government
is surprised that the statement by
the State Department passes judg-
ment one year after the Rio de
Janeiro conference when it was
unanimously agreed to recommend
rupture of relations with the Axis
countries within the position and
circumstances each country has In

explained that these men have to be
