On March Edward r. StettiniuS
as the acting secretary of state out
lined a few things the Argentine
government could do to show good
faith in carrying out its January
declaration of intent to break AXIS
ties:
/. Intern Axis diplomats, military
attaches and other agents.
3. Clean up Axis espionage in the
Argentine. which even General
Ramirez had admitted was a CEN
ter of the verdi wide Axis spy net
work.
3. Enforce prohibitions against
smuggling of goods to the Axis.
4. Control communications be-
tween Axis agents and their coun-
tries.
To date-over four mCnthS-a
few diplomats have been sent home,
but none of the other things have
been done. Farrell continues to
make speeches about cooperation
with the other American countries,
while at the same time he declares
that Brgentine'S course of action
could not be influenced by other
nations.

RAILROADS PERFORM WAR
TASKS ON OWN RULES

The nations rail transport Is an out
standing proof that industry and all It's
kindred institutions can meet war emer-
gency needs better when free of the tar
reaching hand of Federal control. With
the rail lines there is far less Of that con-
troll than in the old war and IN the
present global struggle the great network
of transportation has done job beyond
comprehension.
Railroad service not only has met the
tremendous war demands 100 per cent
but it has maintained a great service to
industry itself and all with very little
additions to plants.
Here is the proof that the transport
system, at leas is able to render far
better performance and meet in a highly
satisfactory way every possible demand
under private operation and voluntary
cooperation and collaboration among
themselves and with users of transport
in this war than under Federal operation
in the world war.
The American people, if they stop and
consider carefully, have here a lesson of
proper relationship of industry with gov
eminent. There is no reason why the
same principle may not be applied to
every other phase of production and in
dustry having to do directly with the
war 1t is a challenge also to all other
types of industry.
Probably no other activity IN the war
set-up had a greater and more immediate
problem once we fully were in the war
than rail transportation. But farsight-
edness had prepared the great systems
and they were ready. The result has
shown that industry, with the incentive
at hand and given full opportunity to or
ganze its own voluntary set-up, that no
industry needs to be subject to iron
bound RECOMMENDATION to produce at maxi
mum.
In the first world war, under Federal
operation, in the crucial years of 1916
Is the country's rail lines could increase
their performance by only y per cent.
In the same length of time in this war,
1941-43 the lines increased ton-miles Sd
per cent and this is being increased daily
as needs pile up. In the 1916-18 period
passenger traffic jumped only % per
cent while this type of traffic in the 1941-
43 period increased 200 per cent.
Under Federal operation during world
war one, neither the operators nor the
users were satisfied. Out of that mess
there came a determination to set up
nationwide cooperative program between
users and operators and out of that move
developed the regional shippers, advis-
DRY boards which have been functioning
ever since. The pay-off came when the
present war produced the greatest trans
port problem and need in all time.
Business and government both need
only look at the rail transport to do away
with the Sitting RECOMMENDATION theory.

THERE ARE WAYS
The problem of the United States
is TO secure Argentine cooperation
with the United Nations CT at least
prevent Argentine cooperation with
the Axis. There are a number oil
courses of action that might be
followed TO secure this cooperation,
but these stand out:
l. Let nature take its course, hop

3. Break off commercial relations.
exercise economic sanctions and
force the Argentine into coopera-
ton that way.
4. Declare war on the Argentine
as an Axis collaboration, last re-
sort.
All these things have only to do
with the successful conduct OF the
war which is now first interest OF

Tie background, however, are a

and political circumstances within
