Argentine to
be Isolated

Washington; July 26-AP - The
government Of Argentine stands ac-
cused today of having deserted
tho common cause" Of its neighbor
nations.
The accusation is made in a
singing statement circulated by
the United States among the gov
ernments OF 10 other American
republics in support of the policy
OF non-recognition OF the Buenos
Aires regime.
Prepared here and subscribed to
by the other countries, 1t now be-
comes, in effect, the basis for that
policy and it means continued dip
lomatic isolation OF the Argentine
government.
In fact the rest of the Americas
put the rulers and people of Argen-
tine on notice that they will not
extend recognition until there are
conclusive acts and demonstra.
tons that there have been tunda-
mental changes in Argentine poll
cy toward the United Nations. 3"
These acts would have to show a
pro-Allied course in the war. The
statement is the result of weeks
OF consultation on the Argentine
policy. 1t is expected to be made
public in full by the State Depart
ment today. Meanwhile It's con-
tents were known in diplomatic
quarters.

Fight
(By the Associated Press)


Hitler's decree for total mobili-
zation throughout the Reich and
occupied territories contemplates
RECOMMENDATION OF the individual
such as perhaps no despot OF his
tory. even in the dark ages. ever
attempted.
He's after the blood in the turnip.
He proposes TO halt all human en-
deavor excepting that which is
directed towards total war.
Every person who is capable OF
work will be assigned a task TO
this end. No class can escape.
Even tn government services are
to be combed ruthlessly TO secure
further cannon fodder and war
workers.
The meaning OF this amazing re.
organization is that Hitler appar-
emily is determined TO fight to
finish. He's going TO make the
Allies dig him out Of his hole like
the rat he is.
Streamllned
In order TO secure efficiency the
Nazi dictator has streamlined his
government and put the task in the
hands OF just a few. Three men
hold the chief positions under his
supreme command.
Hitlers deputy, Reich Marshal
Goerin.. is TO adapt the whole of
public life to tn requirements OF
total war. Propaganda Minister
Goebbels Is entrusted with the
task OF smoking out every ounce
OF war energy, no matter where he
may find It. The muderous Costa
po chief "Hangman" Himmler. is
to enforce orders through his big
army of fanatical Nazi IS troops
and this means that any disobedl-
ence or opposition will be punish
ed by death.
How long Hitler will be able TO
make such RECOMMENDATION stick re-
mains to be seen, but II looks like
a formidable set-up. He may be
able to keep the Reich. and 10
considerable degree the occupied
countries. in hand for the time
being.
Crimson sWath
There can be small doubt that
Hitler's extension oss his already
tyrannical power means blood on
the moon for the Reich and the
occupied countries. Reports indi-
te that Himmler is cutting
crimson swath in his purge OF all
who even have given friendly
nod TO the rebelling Prussian mill
