Mr.. Roosevelt said Argentina

judged by the parts they play
in the war, neutrals and bellig-

because of receptions on the

beamed to Argentina which say
Allied councils are divided in

Any man who walks lbs, 900

Yet, with retirement ahead,

This was the seventh day of

Altogether they have wiped out

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29-(P)
President Roosevelt today or
dered a speed-up in American
plans for rendering Germany
harmless after the war, and
specifically put the job under
state department guidance.
The order was issued in a let
ter to Leo T. Crowley, chief of
the Foreign Economic Admins
tration, and while it covered
non-German subjects in its eight
points, it apparently was the
outgrowth of the sharp. division
in the Presidents postwar cab
met committee over a German
peace plan submitted by Secre-
tary Morgenthau.
This division reflected a
fundamental policy disagree
ment between Secretaries Slim
son and Hull on the one hand
and Morgenthau, who proposed
the virtual Decentralization
of Germany to prevent its MAX
ing future wars.
RIGID CONTROLS
Hull and the state department,
which had exercised unquestion-
ed direction Of long-range Ger
man planning until Morgenthau
won attention for his plan, have
tentatively counted on restora-
ton of Germany's industrial
economy under ruthless Allied
contrals. Under the Presidents
order today this policy now ap-
parently is to prevail.
