The State Department recalled
that early last January the Argen-
tine government headed by Presi-
dent Ramirez broke relations with
Germany and Japan and gave as
surances that immediate, ener-
getic measures would be taken to
suppress subversive Axis activities
and in other ways to give effect
to the severance of relations"
Very soon, however" the depart
ment pointed out, 1T became clear
that powerful forces within the
government were determined to op-
pose those measures and render the
break valueless.

that as result, the question of

study.
Argentina has considerable trade

of which. navicerts must be OBJ
tanned. This includes imports of
iron and steel from Spain which
are Of prime Importance to Argen-

Argentine authorities have re-
quired Arms friendly to the United

tractors from Nazi firms on con-
tracts calling for materials import
ed from the United Nations.
THE prosperity of these powerful
commercial firms" it was charged,
which have been geared according
to the well-known pattern into the
espionage and propaganda machine
OF the Nazi party, Is the result not
merely Of passive failure of the
Argentine government to implement
the Rio de Janiero security agree
ments. but to positive aid from that
government"
In an effort to obtain diplomatic
recognition, the department re-
vealed, the Farrell government sub
mitted through the Chilean Embassy
here two. memoranda, one dated
June 80 and the other July 10.
These memoranda, it was said,
presented no facts to disprove the
known ,pro-Axis policies of the Far
rell regime.
The net effect of the position OF
the Farrell regime" it was stated
is firm adherence to the thesis that
recognition should be accorded on
the basis of few acts of the over
thrown Ramirez government and
mere promises OF future perform
ance. A declared determination to
collaborate fully and decisively with

and continues to be studiously

State Department Denies
Il May Deal With Vichy
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The State Department described
today as false on their face" re-
ports from Algiers suggesting that
the United States might deal with
Vichy officials when Allied armies
begin the liberation of France.
At the same time, it was learned
at the department that the French
Committee of National Liberation,
which has its headquarters at AL
giers, was informed officially in
writing last January that the Unit
ed States had no intention of hav-
ing any dealings or relations with
the Vichy regime, except for the
purpose of abolishing it.
The committee was further in
formed, and today's statement here
reaffirmed the point, that the United
States would not deal with any in
divual in France known to have
"wilfully" collaborated with the
enemy.
The department asserted that the
reports coming from Algiers in the
last few days are evidently in
spired, endeavoring to create the
impression that this Government,
upon the liberation of France, in
tends to deal with the Vichy regime
or with certain individuals directly
or indirectly supporting the policy of
collaboration with Germany"

Mount Vesuvius Lava DESTROYS
Two Villages, Menoces Third
Eruption Worst Since 1872; Army Trucks
Help in Evocuuting $1,000 Inhobitonts

(Eyewitness Story on Page B-S.)
BY the Associated Press
NAPLES, Mar. 21.-A great
stream of hot lava poured out
.of the crater of Mount Vesuvius
at speed of 40 miles an hour
at noon today without signs of
subsiding, and the molten river
licked at a third village on the
northwest slopes after Destroy
ing two.
After burying most Of San Sebas-
tiano and Massa di Somma, the lava
stream, 80 feet high and 200 yards
wide, swept on toward Cercola, be-
low San Sebastiano. It's pace
slowed as 1t wound down the noun
tain.
Although propelled from the
crater at tremendous speed, the
river OF lava slowed to a crawl as
it flowed and cooled. It was run
ming S to 10 feet per minute at its
point of advance.
The 5000 inhabitants of Cercola
were hurriedly evacuated as the
white-hot rock flowed to within $50
feet of its town hall American
Army trucks completed evacuation
of the 1000 inhabitants of the other
two villages during the night. No
casualties were reported.
The eruption, the worst since 1872
caused great property loss, not only
from the burial of the towns, but
also from destruction of orchards
and vineyards.
A food dump for refugees was set
up in the village of Pollena by 1t
