that Argentina had finally re- solved to break relations with the Axis.
 Hull put down one phone and picked up another. It was his private phone to the White House. He told the President what he had learned from Armour. The Pres ident ordered an immediate switch of policy. If Argentina was ready to make even 8 gesture of being pro-democratic, Roosevelt didn't want to slap her face. So he instructed Hull to strike out all reference to Argentina in the statement. Result was a tamely worded blast against Bolivia alone.
 What undoubtedly happened was that the banks had tipped
 off the Argentines. Cables had gone out to U. s. banks in South America Saturday and Sunday.
 So now the Argentine govern men has been able to save its skin and continue in power. Ac- tually, however, despite the of ficial break with the Axis, diplo- mats agreed that undercover rela- tions with the Axis will continue just about the same. and that the Argentine Fascists will be buster than ever stirring up anti U. s. feeling in Bolivia, Paraguay, Chile and Brazil.

and Roosevelt agreed, and the White House okayed the docu- ment Saturday afternoon, sent it back to the State Department. Plans were laid for it's release on Sunday. This would have frozen all Argentine funds at the opening of banks Monday morning
 However, it meant that cer- tain State Department officials,
 particularly in the current in-
 formation division, would have to fOregO their Sunday rest and put in extra time releasing the story on Sunday. So the with ering blast at Argentina was de-
 layed until Monday noon.
 Because of the delay, it was ar- ranged for the banks unofficially to hold up all Argentine trans actions early Monday morning un- til they received official notice to freeze Argentine funds Monday afternoon. But during Sunday the British, having heard that the State Department at last was go- ing to be fortnight with Argen- tina made representations re- garding the effect on the British economic position in Buenos Aires. PHONE CALL FROM
 BUENOS AIRES
 Then, suddenly, on Monday morning Secretary Hulls tele- phone rang. It was U. S. Ambas- sador Norman Armour calling from Buenos Aires. Armour told Hull that Argentine Foreign Min ister Gilbert had gotten up early that morning and called Armour to the Foreign Office to tell him

sign. The timing of the break with the Axis, now that the latter is facing certain defeat, leaves the impression of opportunism. Argen- tina professes to be offended at German espionage in that country. This is late in the day for making that discovery. The claim will serve the purpose, however, of formally justifying the action of handing German and Japanese diplomatic officials their passports. The break is welcome but it is not impressive.
 The unfavorable attitude of the United States, Britain and several other Allied nations, toward the new Bolivian regime, may now soon be revised as it is to be expected that Bolivia will not wish to be without pro-Axis friends in South America. Recent official statement at Washington and London had left no doubt that the coup d'etat in Bolivia was engineered by German groups in that country and in Argentina

O1O1A III SAAANN~SO9 MY They figure that Willkie will go into the convention with about one-third of the delegates. Dewey with another third, and Bricker with another third. Then there will be deadlock.
 Bricker forces, they figure, will be stronger than most people re- alize now. Only the inside boys know it, but he has the Republ- can delegates from the South al- ready lined up through hsi friend Taft.
 The other day, Jimmy Rey- holds, former secretary of the Re- publican National Committee, was asked by a Republican senator about Southern delegates.
 They're not for sale" grinned Reynolds.
 "WhO's got 'em?" the Sena- tor pressed.
 "They're not for sale" Rey- holds stuck to his guns.
 It has been a well-known se- cret in COP circles for some time that Senator Taft has carefully coralled the Southern delegates, and they will go into the con- vention for Bricker. Later, of course, they may switch to Taft.
 However, regardless of Brick er-Taft shifts, the convention is sure to be deadlOcked into two general groups the cOnserva- tive-isolationists represented by the Dewey-Taft crowd, and the liberal al-interventiOnists repre- sented by Willkie.
 This deadlock, according to COP wiseacres, cannot be brok- en without compromise candi- date. The Willkie and the Dewey groups hate each other too bitterly to reconcile their differ ences. Furthermore, the Willkie- ties are equally dead set against Taft.
 Result is that some of the leaders are already looking around very quietly for a man whom both sides will take. So far, the man they have scru- tinized with greatest care is Senator Harold Burton of Ohio, for three terms Mayor of Cleve- land.
 An independent Republican, he led the fight of the B2, H2 Sen- ate group (of which he was a member) for a non-partisan Sen- ate resolution endorsing the Mos COW agreement and strong American policy for cooperative peace.
 You may hear a lot more of Burton in the future.
 ARGENTINE BREAK WITH AXIS
 Inside story on Argentina is that, on Friday, January 2l, the State Department prepared a blistering statement on the double question of Bolivia and Argen- tina refusing to recognize the new government of Bolivia, and blaming Argentina for interfer- ing in Bolivian affairs.
 That statement was sent across the street to the White House, where it lay for more than day awaiting the Presidents approval If Roosevelt approved. the U. s. planned to punish Argentina by freezing all her credits in the U. s. A., which would have been the most severe action ever take nby this country against an American nation since the Good Neighbor policy was inaugurated.
 But the President did not finch. He had been gOaded for months by Secretary of the Treasury MOrgenthau and by public opinion. It never leaked out but, once before, the Ad- ministrati0n was ready to crack down on Argentina, while Sec retary of State Hull was in Mos COW. But when Under Secre- tary Ed Stettinius wired his chief in Moscow, Hull radiOed back that, under no irculn- stances must there be any move against Argentina.
 This trnie, however, both Hull

Selected Poem
WORLD WAITING

Elizabeth Ellen Long) Until the rain comes nothing Will move, just wait and see, Not any tarnished grass-blade Or leaf upon a tree. Until the rain comes nothing Will make the smallest sound, No waiting bird or anything That watches from the ground. All day long has been like this, The orchard standing still With the selfsame listening look Of every field and hill. All day long has been like this, Both out-of-doors and in, Nothing saying anything Until the rain begins.
