MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Feb
16. - Germany's curt protest
against detention of the German
Military Attache, Gen. Friedrich
Wolff, brought Argentina close
to war with the Reich last week,
a diplomatic source said today,
and precipitated yesterdays
palace revolution ousting For
eign Minister Gen. Alberto Gill
bert.
This source, conversant with the
swiftly-moving events in Argentina
gave this version:
Germany on Friday sent an inso-
lent note to Argentina through the
Swiss government. The note de-
clared that charges of Nazi espion-
age in Argentina were a "ne," and
that Germany would hold Argentina
responsible for treatment accorded
to Wolff. It threatened reprisals
against Argentine diplomatic repre-
sentatives in Nazi-controlled terri-
tories.
Wanted to Prove Good Faith.
Gilbert angrily' demanded a
declaration of war against Ger
many, and rupture Of relations with
Spain on grounds 1t also was impli-
Gated In Axis espionage in Argentina.

Curt Nozi Note Took Argentina
Near War Before Gilbert Custer

He was pictured as feeling this would
not only prove Argentina's gooo
faith abroad, but also would
strengthen the government of Gen
Pedro Ramirez at home against ma
tionalists who still were grumbline
over the breaking of relations with
Germany and Japan.
But Gilbert, who presumably had
the support of Ramirez and the
Presidents former executive secre-
tary, Col. Enrique Gonzalez, was un-
able to persuade the Nationalist Of
f1cers to agree to war. There were
signs of unusual military prepara-
tions in Argentina during this time.
Gilbert and two other state Of
f1cials were forced to resign as a
result.
Gen. Ramirez himself apparently
was left In precarious situation by
the coup. engineered by group OF
reactionary army officers who seized
control of the Foreign Ministry
while unknowing Argentine citizens
famed themselves in the sultry
weather.
The sudden turn of events caused

resigned earlier as Minister of JUS
tice and Education because of his
opposition to the break with the
Axis. to withdraw his resignation,
