South America
Uncensored
By Roland Hall Sharp. longs

By Roland Hall Sharp. longs
mans Green; $3.5.)
Roland Hall Sharp is a staff cor
respondent for the Christian Science
Monitor who for eight years has
had South America for his beat.
Like many newspapermen who have
been assigned to duty on that con-
tinent, he is worried about future
fascism down there, but his opinion
as to whence fascism may be ex-
pected is an unusual one. He does
not concern himself much about
the German and Italian popula-
ton elements as sources of the COM
ing totalitarianism. To be sure, he
says that Germany, in expectation
of her defeat, sent many of the
technicians, scientists and inventors
to safety in Argentina-but only to
lie low there until the Reich could
get another war going, when they
would be called back; the refugees
were not to start a South American
conquest. The real danger of fas-
cism in South America, says Mr..
Sharp, lies in the native govern
ments themselves, in some of the
native governments moveover which
we are good-neighborfng most in
dustriously.
He does not make the usual jour-
nalistic swing round the entire con-
tinent; he limits his political dis
cussion to six countries-B Brazil, Ar
gentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile
and Bolivia-and in three of these,
he says, the prevailing ad,ninistra-
tion is fascistic from top to bottom.
Those are Brazil, Argentina and
Bolivia. Both Brazil and Bolivia
have been heavy beneficiaries under
our good-neighbor bounty-spread-
ing. Our Paraguayan spending,
moreover, has been largely diverted
to Argentinian interests. Mr.. Hall
feels that there is genuine likeli-
hood that a strong Fascist bloc may
be formed in South America which
could easily dominate the whole
continent, and excoriates the State
Department for its policy of financ-
ing Fascist states at home In the

with which Mr.. Masefield remem-

moreover, that these recollections
are of a period of true wonder such
as only the young artist experiences.
