Argentina
Squeezed

WASHINGTON, July 3 INs)
The Argentine embassy dis
closed today the operation OF an
economic nutcracker which the
United States is using to punish
Argentina-the "enfant terrible"
Of the Pan-American family.
II is a program OF economic
sanctions, intended to supplement
the political rebuff Of withdraw
Ing the United States ambassador,
Norman Armour. from Argentina.
The sanctions take the form Of
preventing the expectation Of ar
tieles vitality needed to maintain
Argentine industry.
FUEL SHORTAGE
That country is suffering from
q critical fuel shortage-it is now
winter In Argentina-but the de-
sired shipments of coal and OF
oil drilling and refining equip
ments have been disallowed.
An embassy spokesman declared
today:
These articles have been
bought and paid for. They are
stacked up In warehouses at
various ports. But We cannot get
clearance for shipment"
The articles also include air.
plane parts. steel and construction
materials. BY denying Argentina
the oil equipment. that country is
unable TO exploit the rich petro-
leum resources OF the country.
SANCTIONS IN FORCE
The embassy spokesman said:
The newspapers are talking
about the possibility of Geo.
nonic sanctions against Argen-
tina. II 10 not q possibility. IL
10 o reality. We are already SUI
fering economic sanctions"
Meantime. a transportation
crisis loomed in Buenos Aires
because of the alarming rubber
shortage.
Commerce department officials
pointed out that Argentina, whose
normal rubber requirements are
10000 tons a year was able 10
import only 1853 tons last year.
The country is now cut of from
all sources except Bolivia which
has agreed to supply $50 tons a
wear.

JAPs RESIST FIERCELY

Tireless troops of the Second
Marine Division which captured
the razor like ridges of Mount
Tapotchau, fought their way down
toward the plateaus TO invest the
heights behind Garapan against
the fiercest Jap resistance, while
on the plain, other elements of the
same division which entered the
suburbs OF Garapan rolled for
ward over the rubble of concrete
buildings.
L. S. tanks and other mech
anized weapons were employed 10
great advantage knocking out Jap
tanks in wholesale numbers. At
least so Jap tanks were destroyed,
and the latest count shows Japa-
nese dead now more than 5000.
The count of Jap dead includes
only those we have buried. and
the estimated actual total is much
higher. Troops constantly are en-
tering caves and finding bodies
of slain Nips as well as vast
stores of equipment and supplies.

WHAT WE FACE

WHAT w II Az
Let us give some serious
Thought 10 the kind OF govern
ment we are going TO give our
selves in the so very critical
four years TO come.
The government Of the United
States, its national admins
tration, its domestic, political,
economic, monetary and social
policies, its foreign policy and
commitments. should receive
first thought and first consid-
Grafton in the mind of the
American people, whom 1t most
concerns.
NEGLECT OUR PROBLEMS
We have run away from our
own very pressing problems and
gone far afield, acrossed oceans,
iungles and deserts 10 AbeFate
other peoples and solve the prob
lens of other countries but are
neglecting our own.
Very few people grasp the fact
or understand the tarroachlng
significance 10 our children's chill
dren that the white races have
dropped 10 less than four-tenths
of the worlds population and that
Communist Russia with It's pro-
claimed racial and color equality
is the potential leader of nearly
two-thirds of the inhabitants OF
this earth.
FEARS ENTANGLEMENTS
There are many internationaliStS
of the Soviet variety among Us
who would tie the American
people into an lnextricable knot of
foreign entanglements and inter-
national commitments under the
delusive lure 10 humane sentiment
and emotion that such commit
ments by America Will mean the
END of wars
1t is a come-on, an illusion-a
mirage.
Those internationalists, when
not misguided themselves, take
advantage OF the average Ameri-
cans ignorance OF history in Eu-
rope and in Asia.
OUR HISTORY IGNORED
Many Americans ignore, scorn, |
even deride history. their own and
that of other nations. II is the
past" they say, with which they
have nothing 10 do. They are mis-
taken.
There is no escape from our
history. our past No more than
the trees of a forest can tear
themselves away from their roots
The past made the present and
the past and present together
make our future. That future is
in our own hands.
That is why l urge that more
thought, attention and considera-
ton be given 10 our own govern
ment for the next four years and
less TO our making of governments
for other peoples.
IMPACT OF WAR
The impact of the revolutionary,
political economic, monetary and
social bareback OF the greatest
and most tragic war so far in
history is bound, in the very ma
ture OF its scope, duration and IN
tenSity. 10 be severe.
The nomination Of Dewey and
Bricker opens the prospect for a
government OF sound national adj
mlnistration of stability. progress
sive. but free from rmpulsive
visionary experiments and the
influence OF foreign ideologleS
alien 10 our institutions. 80.
