Meanwhile, there were strong
indications that Argentina would

recalled to Washington.
The State Departments stand
against recognition was supported
by similar action by Cuba, Vene-

Dominican Republic, Panama and
Uruguay. Most of the remaining II
nations under the Pan-American
aegis, were expected to follow the
lead of these eight. A statement
from the Chilean government was

pigeonholed Pattons advancement,
despite a subcommittee report fav-
oring the promotion.
Committee members said that, in
addition to opposition growing out

year, some senators were critical
of the recent London speech in

Myer said he was not certain

that he believed it was to avoid
