Churchill Statement
Hailed as Supporting
Anti-AIgenfine Policy

Prime Minister Churchilrs state
ment tn Commons ON Argentina was
hailed by ofacialS here today ~ re-
moving any doubt that Great Brit
ain stands squarely with the United
States and most Of the Latin Amer
lean republics In condemning the
pro-Axis attitude Of the Farrell
regime and refusing to establish
diplomatic relations with it.
Acting Secretary Of State Stet-
tinius Issued the following state
ment:
''The statement by Prime Minister
Churchill in the House Of Commons,
In which he expressed regret that
the government Of Argentina has
chosen. to daily with evil and has
not seen 1T to declare herself whole
heartedly, unmistakably and with
NO reserve and qualification on the
side Of freedom Is truly of great
Importance.
Hits Heart Of Problem.
THE Prime Minister'S statement
goes to the very heart of the Argen-
tine problem. He has clearly and
forcefully expressed the common
position of the British Government
and of all the governments which
have refrained from recognizing the
Farrell regime"
London press comment cabled here
also indicates that British news
papers back Secretary of State Hull's
recent refusal to establish diplo-
matte relations with the government
of Gen. Edelmiro Farrell. The Daily
Telegraph warned Argentina was
trying to split Anglo-American pol
icy toward Argentina and called for
unity between Washington and
London.
The Argentine Embassy here to-
day issued q statement saying that,
since press censorship was lifted last
week, papers in Argentina had been
free to criticize the government.
Stettinius Charge Denied.
Taking obvious issue with the re-
cent assertion by Mr.. Stettinius that
press censorship was continuing in
Argentina despite the ofIicial an
nouncement that it had been lifted,
the Embassy referred to q letter
written by Adolfus Lanus, president
OF the Argentine Press Association,
to the Argentine Minister of the In
terror. In it, Mr.. Lanus declared:
TT is with satisfaction that we
acknowledge the favorable reaction
made by the words OF the Minister
OF Foreign Relations Announcing
the lifting Of press censorship and
we feel sure that the Argentine
press places, as is befitting, its faith
on the statement, and will act in ac-
cordance with its honorable tradi-
ton"
