u. 5. 10 Crack Down
On Argentina With
Support Of British
By JOSEPH m. BAIRD.

The United States, with the diplo-
matte support of Great Britain and
the majority Of the Latin-American
nations, Is prepared to crack down"
on the Farrell regime In Argentina,
It was learned authoritatively last
night.
This policy was highnghted as the
week ended, by the withdrawal from
Buenos Aires Of the British. Mexi-
can and Peruvian ENJOYS. The ac-
ton taken by these governments
followed conversations here between
the State Department and their
embassies and also the earlier in
structions from Secretary Of State
Hull to Norman Armour, American
Ambassador in Argentina, to come
home to report"
An authoritative source told The
Star that the United States had
seen the results Of inaction in allow
ing the NaI regime of Adolf Hitler
to come to great military power In
Germany, and that this mistake
would not be repeated in the West
ern Hemisphere.
This Government, informed
sources said, Is convinced that the
regime of Gen. Edelmiro Farrell in
Argentina is pro-Axis in spirit and
purpose. If the withdrawal Of Am
bassadors from Buenos Aires does
not prove sufIicient warning to the
administration OF Argentina to re-
organize its policies along pro-
democratic lines and give the people
q voice In the government, eco
nomic sanctions or other methods
Of diplomatic and economic pres
sure may be employed.
Recognition Is Limited.
? Only three Latin American gov
ernments recognize the Argentine
administration. These are Brazil.
Chile and Bolivia. However, the
Brazilian envoy died, the Chilean
Ambassador has been withdrawn
and only Bolivia, whose own revo-
lutionary regime was recognized by
the United States last week, re-
mains in active diplomatic contact
WIFI bucIlOS AlTcS.
Great Britain, Mexico and Peru,
although not recognizing the Far
rell administration, continued until
this week end to keep ENJOYS in
Buenos Aires. Now their respective
Ambassadors - Sir David Kelly,
Senor Carlos Dario Ojedea and Gen.
Oscar Benavides-have been called
home
Although relations between the
Argentine Republic and the Axis
were broken of last January, actu-
ally German and japanese diplomats
have not been expelled and have
been allowed complete freedom of
action. Even as of today, 1t was
said, they can easily send back in
formation to their governments
through blockade runners, and also
are in position to gather up-to-
the-minute data to take with them
to Tokyo and Berlin when they re-
turn.
The announcement by Argentina
this week that plans were being
made for the return of the German
Embassy staff was regarded here as
q last-minute effort to placate the
United States, after it had been
announced that Mr.. Armour was
coming home.
