quacking about Argentina.
 The film, entitled "Oh, MT. Hull" showed Secretary Hull aS 0 cyil-looking old man, sitting in Q rocking chair with Donald Duck beside him. Another film in the same series showed MT. Hull milk ing Q COW marked Latin Amer. 'ica' '''''' ','' - '''' - - .
 These Argentine films were made on raw film stock, which Is e critical material and which the U. s. government had permitted Argentine to have under Q regu- lar quota arrangement. The whole thing naturally burnt Sec- retary Hull up and spurrcd hlm into action perhaps more than the arguments of certain cabi- net colleagues who long have urged an economic crackdown on Ar gentina,
 Chief difference inside the caDl- net iS that Huh, Up until thiS week, has favored c policy of merely snubbing Argentina-in other words, withdrawing our Am. bassatlor and having no diplo- matic relatoins, Expounding this theory to friends, Hull once said:
 "When you come out of your house and find neIghbOFs lock- ing up at the moon and refusing to speak to you, it may be all right for one or two nights, hut after . while you don't like it."
 Other members Of the cabinet led by Treasury Secretary Nor gonthau, have felt that we have been looking at the moon long enough and just one year ago, Morgenthau urged cutting econ- omic ties with Argentina, Otfcr State Department advisers have considered cutting off the heavy U. s,-British purchases of Ar- genuine meat for lend-leaSe and military consumption.
 However, the whole thing drift cd, until now the situation with Argentina Is definitely serious. Here nre some Of the latest difficult developments
 1. Other Latin American na- tons, always tending to stick together against the Colossus of the North" are getting more and more sympathetic with Ars gentina. The other day Brazil, supposedly our best friend, manipulated the busting of Foreign Minister ArGrha who has steadfastly supported Hull'S policy.
 1. Two shiploads Of Argen- tine chickens and turkeys re. gently arrived at the Panama Canal gone, purchased by the U. 8. government for food on U. s. ships. Thus we buy from Argentina, while gnubbing her. Most Argentines don't care about the snubS aS long aS they are prosperous.
 3. Tn calling Q world aviation conference, MT. Hull pointedly omitted Argentina, but did inc vito Ireland. Argentina has broken diplomatic relations with tho Axis and kicked out Nazi diplomats, while Ireland, dc- spite q special plea from Rooge- welt. has not.
 Other Allied diplomats feel this iS cutting off our nose to spite our face, since Argentina is the terminus of all air lines runs ming into South America. We must have bases there, and wo can't get them without discussing the matter with the government which now runs Argentina.
 As Q result, many diplomats fear that U. 5.-Argentina rela- tlons have driftcd itno c hope. less inipaSsc.
 NOTE - This iinpasse Is why friends of Governor Dewey res gently have started warming Up to ex-Under Secretary Of State Sumner Wellcs, the man who really fathered and guided the Good Neighbor policy.
