Argentine Movie Makes
Hull Quack Like a Duck
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 20.-Sec-
retary of State Hull was caricatured
in animated Argentine movie car
toons today as an irascible oldster
debating issues with Donald Duck.
Two such cartoons, made on raw
film imported from the United
States, have been released. Without
these film imports, the Argentine
motion picture industry would die.
Mr.. Hull was represented as
speaking in a language closely re-
sembling the quacking of the duck.
The cartoons sought to make the
point that Mr.. Hull and the people
of the United States, represented by
Uncle Sam, did not share identical
views.

tine people are not in harmony
