the underground saw to it that too many

The big thing the underground is working
toward is general strike when everybody,
from the gauchos out on the pampas to the
workers in the cities, will sit down with arms
crossed and do nothing until the military
realizes it's time to resign. Such general
strike isn't easy One or two premature at

thing simply stopped. Housewives refused to
buy from stores that kept open. Students

Our State Department has issued a blstering

But the Argentine dictators hate the
us. and democracy as much as we hate
Nazis and Japs. They may change their
puppet president and substitute new gen.

will not be forced out until the pro-democratic

Young university students took the

for one of the earliest steps taken by the
military was to force the resignation Of
distinguished educators.
Besides marshalling public opinion and
keeping the flame of democracy alive for its
own D-Day. the Argentine underground is
also concentrating on slowing down the
Berlin inspired rearmament program. Many

where Argentina fine cattle are produced.
One of the underground's most effective
weapons was the Argentine sense Of humor.
Private telephone numbers of high-ranking
Colonels were obtained. Underground men,
