TONS program to roll back prices
and fight off initiation will be wreck
ed.
SUBSIDIES GIVE fair prices to
the farmer but keep prices down for
the consumer. Only the monOpOlis-
tbs food trust and farm bloc want
to kill ubsidies-higher prices
mean super-prOfits to them. Here's
what killing subsidies will mean to
you, according to the War Food
Administration:
/. An increase of SC a pound in
the ceiling on butter.
2. An increase of &c pound of
American cheese.
3. Increases of as much as $l.2O
a hundredweight of dry beans.
a. $3.50 to 500 increases i'm can
ned vegetables.
S. An increase in the cost of
bread of 100000 a year.
6. $50 to 500 more a season
for f1el oil for the average home.
This would be the beginning
but once initiation starts rolling the
sky's the limit. Eventually your dol
lar will be worth SOC or less in
terms of purchasing power, if the
subsidy ban goes through. So
PUT PRESSURE on your Con-
gresham right now to vote against
the Commodity Credit Corp. bill,
HR 3477, as it now stands, prohib-
iting subsidies.

reaching Germany by way OF Ar
gentina and Spain.
The temptation is very strong to
retort to these developments with
force. There are plenty to say that
the policy of "appeasement" works
no better when applied to Argentine
|reactionaries than when applied to
German Nazis or to Italian FasciSts.
Nothing would be simpler than to
blockade the ports Of Argentina and
bring to an end the lucrative export
trade of that country, thereby bring
ing the strongest sort of pressure
on the commercial interests within
Argentina which are supposed to be
the chief props Of the Ramirez gov
ernment.
Difficulties Very Great. = *
But the difficulties in the way
Of such a course are very great.
In the first place, Argentina is one
of the principal sources of beef,
hides and wheat for the British
Isles. The British people would
suffer heavily if this source was cut
off by a. complete blockade Of Ar
gentina seaports.
In the second place, the United
States could hardly take such dras-
tic action without inviting the CO.
operation of other American states,
and even if they complied, the
legacy of hate which this would
leave behind it would not be a
happy auguIy for peaceful inter-
American relations in the days to
come. So that by openly using
force against Argentina we might
lose more in the end than we would
gain.
This does not, of course, mean
that we must sit idly by and allow
the Argentinians to remake the
map of South America to suit them
selves. There has been a tendency
on the part of Argentina to assume
the position of a sort of paramount
power in their part of the world,
but this tendency certainly cannot
be permitted to extend itself to a
redistribution of the territory Of
neighboring republics at Argentina 3

Maj. Eliot Cites Increasing Hints
Argentina Inspired Bolivia Coup

we should certainly have the sup
port of the majority Of the other
American states in resisting move
which would have implications so
disquieting from the point OF view
Of their own security.
Nor can we permit the Argentine
government to capitalize on our
reluctance to proceed to extremes,
to the extent that the mineral
wealth Of Bolivia shall flow freely
into the storehouse of the German
war industry. The remedy for this
must, II necessary, be applied at the
other end Of the line.
If Bolivian products reach Ger
many at all they must do so through
the ports of Spain, since all other
ports having direct connection with
German-held territory are under
strict blockade. If 1t becomes neces-
sary to extend this blockade in
whole or in part to Spanish ports,
this can be done without undue
strain on the naval power of the
United Nations. It might be good
preliminary workout for the French
navy, which is now beginning to be
Of formidable size.
Definite Agreement Needed.
II the policy adopted be one of
complete flrmness, it may hardly
be necessary to 60 as far as this.
What seems essential now is that
the United Nations. and especially
Great Britain, the United States
and the Latin-American states
which are belligerent in this war,
should come to definite agreement
as to their policy toward the pres
ent Argentine government: That ap-
peasGnent in every form should
cease and that the people of Ar
gentina should be made to realize
to what extent their present gov
eminent is prejudicing the future
OF every Argentine citizen by its
curious and somewhat sinister course
OF conduct. ess -
There Is no reason to suppose
that the cause of freedom and JUS
tice has an enemy in the Argentine
people; quite the contrary. II they
have allowed their government to
be taken over by individuals who
are in fact enemies of that cause
then it must be clearly shown them
to what perilous courses such a gov
ernment may lead them.
That cannot be done by making
concession after concession. 1t can
only be done by display of that
unity of purpose and policy which
is essential not only to the winning
of this war but to the maintenance
after victory of a peaceful and de-
cent world.
There can be no question of the
desire or the right of the average
citizen of the Argentine Republic
to participate in that future, whose
glorious dawn is just beginning
to tinge with gold the dark hori-
IONS Of this war torn world; but
for Argentines as for others, liberty
and peace do not come as gifts.
They have their price, and the
time for the paying of that price
Is now.

Uruguay Urges Probe
Before Recognizing
New Regimes
By the Associated Press.

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Dec. 25.
The Inter- American Committee
for Political Defense published today
the text of message sent to the
foreign secretaries Of all American
republics having declared war or
broken relations with the Axis in
which the committee recommended
that all exchange information be-
fore recognizing any new regime
constituted by force"
The message explicitly stated that
1t does not refer to any particular
case--despite the fact that the orig
inator of the recommendation, Vice
President Alberto GUAM of Uruguay,
said his idea was started when Gen.
Pedro Ramirez took over the Argen-
tina government and was developed
this week by the overthrow of the
Bolivian government by a revolu-
tionary junta.
Argentina was the only American
country not sent the committee S
recommendation, which said there
was danger of Axis penetration into
the Americas through governments
emerging from revolution. The Ar
gentine government is recognized by
all American governments, but the
new Bolivian government is now
awaiting recognition which may
hinge on the committees recon-
mendation.
The recommendation, adopted
unanimously yesterday by the COM
mittee, declared that while the Axis
had so lar failed to annul the war
effort of the American peoples, 1T
Is evident the Axis continues to make
efforts to realize such aims with the
serious danger that totalitarian ele-
meuts may take over by force the
government of American republics
to separate them from the principles
OF union and solidarity adopted in

from their support of the cause of
