Meeting Place Uncertain
The commission meeting place
still was uncertain but London was
the most likely choice due to It's
nearness to European war fronts.
II was understood the decision for
establishment Of the commission
was no unilateral but was made
with equal participation Of oil three
powers.
Envisaging the commissions flu

that In some respects the Italian
situation developed faster than the
Allied capacity to deal with 1t, thus
creating the necessity for machin-

There was little doubt the Allies
were now in full command Of the
Italian situation as evidenced by
the lack of opposition encountered
by landing troops and the continued
display Of q determination on the

Impressive Facts
Reporters who observed the men
were impressed by these facts:
When Gromyko entered Hull's Of
flee, he carried a large, well-filled
envelope. He left without 1t. When
Hull entered the Presidents office,
he, too, left without 1t.
Also fitting into the Russian pic
ture was the first official definition
Of the purposes Of the newly Gre
ated Mediterranean commission.
Existence of the commission-which
includes Russian representation, as
well as British and American
came from high ofncial source over
the weekend. From equally authori-
tative quarters yesterday came this
definition Of the purposes Of the
commission: Getting the Mediter-
ranean out of the war.
This somewhat cryptic definition
led to speculation that the functions
Of the commission might be military
as well as political.
At the same time an off1cial eff
fort was made to explain the atti-
tude of Great Britain and the
United States toward postwar
peace conference. An offlcial source
said the Allies plan a transition
period between the cessation Of
hostilities and the peace confer
ences during which they will police
the world, even II they have to use

position held by Argentina, with
l3,600,0 900 inhabitants, until the war
began.
Hull concluded his letter with this
plain warning that Argentina
would have TO sit outside when the
postwar world is planned:
a.. The failure Of the Argen-
tine government to comply with Its
inter.American commitments has
not only resulted in the non-partic-
ipation Of Argentina In the defense
Of the continent In a most critical
period, 1t Is also depriving Argentina
Of participation In the studies, dis
culsSions, meeting and arrangements
designed to solve the postwar prob
lens. :"
Hull's statement that the United
Nations wanted nothing to do with
Argentina while she continues diplo-
matte relations with the Axis was
delivered in the face OF Storms sug-
gestion that Argentina, with United
States help, could help feed the AL
lied Nations and "form a reserve
stock that would make 1t possible to
feed the European peoples threat
ened with hunger"
Long Letter
Storm wrote long letter TO Hull
on August outlining the views OF
the new Argentine government
which was established as a result OF
q military movement on June 4 and
which limited then that 1t would
break with the Axis. Storm pleaded
that ArgentinaS neutrality was be
nevolent neutrality" and theoretical
neutrality" that Argentine sel1ti-
ment Is firmly opposed TO totalitar-
ian regimes, Is on the side OF the
United Nations in Its material and
spiritual action"
Hull's reply, dated August 30, was
q categorical denial Of all the points
raised by Storm. The latter had app
pealed for airplanes and ornaments
ITO restore Argentina to the position
Of equilibrium to which 1t Is entitled
with respect to other South Amer

Hull pointed out that questions
of military and naval equilibrium"
between American republics are
surely inconsistent with the inter-
American doctrine Of the peaceful
settlement of international dis
putes. :"

grounds Of extreme mental cruelty,
tried to keep the wedding secret
but the only Hollywoodians who did
not know about 1t were Miss Hay
worth's parents and the man to
whom she had been engaged.
The parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Jose
Cansino said they were amazed.
The man Miss Hayworth had an
nounced she would marry was Victor

Coast Guard. He was on a bond
selling tour in Chicago, where he
read in the papers that his favorite
gill had married somebody else.

Hayworth, who used to be her
fathers brunette dancing partner,
was divorced last may from Edward
G. Judson, an oil man, who sought
in vain to get her to pay him ali

she and Mature decided they'd be
