u. 5. Recognizes
Farrell Regime
In Argentina
All Americas Join
In Action; Stettinius
Silent on PorIey Bid

The United States resumed
normal diplomatic relations"
with Argentina at noon today.
The action was announced by
Secretary of State Stettinius, who
said it was taken in conjunction
with the 19 other American repub-
lies represented at the recent Inter-
American Conference at Mexico
City.
1t follows a declaration of war
by Argentina against Axis coun-
tries and her adherence to the reso-
lutions adopted by the Mexico City
Conference March 27 and other
steps called for by the conference.
Silent on Farley Bid.
Mr. Stettinius declined to discuss
whether Argentina would be in
vited or would ask for United Ma
tions membership, whether that
subject had been discussed with
Soviet Russia which has been high
ly critical of this Argentine gov
eminent or whether eventually
Argentina would participate in the
San Francisco Conference on an
international organization.
Observers foresee the possibility Of
elections being held in Argentina
this fall which would permit re-
emergence of democratic elements
which have been kept down by the
militaristic regime of President
Edelmiro Farrell.
This Government previously has
described the Farrell government as
Fascist and is anxious to see demo-
cratic processes develop there. but
at Mexico City the United States
joined with the other Americas in
reafflrming a policy of noninterven-
ton in the internal affairs of any
other country.
Character of Regime Not Examined.
The american consultations
leading to the unanimous decision
for resumption OF normal diplomatic
relations with Buenos Aires, it was
said, were limited to discussions OF
the acts of the Farrell government
in respect to the world situation and
did not go into the character of the
government.
The establishment of diplo-
ward L. Reed. charge d'affaires OF
the Embassy in Buenos Aires He
called on Acting Foreign Minister
Cesar Ameghino and left note
acknowledging receipt of an Argen-
tine note of March IA, 1914, which
had informed Secretary of State
Hull that Gen. Pedro Ramirez had
resigned as Argentine President
and that Farrell had resumed the
presidency
Failure to acknowledge that note
had been the mechanism by which
the Farrell government had not
been recognized for almost Is
months. During that interim the
nonrecognition policy had been
generally supported by Western
Hemisphere countries, the exact
support varying from time to time
as political conditions in Latin
America changed. Four countries
never had publicly and formally
broken relations although at vari-
Gus times their Ambassadors were
absent from Buenos Aires.
Will Send Ambassador.
The United States intends to
send its own ambassador there as
soon as possible, officials said, with
the first move likely to be nomina-
ton of a man for that position by
President Roosevelt.
Other American countries also
were scheduled to recognize the Ar
gentine government today. Among
those which already have announced
the step were Chile. Paraguay,
Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Uru-
quay. Brazil, Colombia and Peru.
Great Britain also announced its
recognition of the Farrell govern
ment today.
The United States is planning i'm
mediately to lift its special economic
restrictions imposed last July. One
of the first steps will be resumption
of shipping service on a wartime
basis between American ports and
Buenos Aires.
