Some Argentine Conditions
Worse Than Fascist Italy

NEW YORK, June l (P.-Thl
New York Times said today in ,
dispatch from its Buenos Aires cor
respondent, Arnaldo Cortesi, tina
"the Argentine government had NJ
sooner declared war on Germany
and Japan and signed the final act!
Of the Mexico City Conference thar
1t deprived the Argentine people o,
what small remains of freedom the,
still possessed"
The delayed dispatch, filed Wed.
nesday from Buenos Aires, said thai
since experience has shown there
is no hope of getting the truth pas
the Argentine censors, this dispatch
is being sent by channels other
than the normal ones"
Mr.. Cortesi said the time hao
come to say that things have hap.
pened in Buenos Aires recently that
exceed anything that this CORE.
spondent can remember in his II
years experience in Fascist Italy"
Army Active.
HE (this correspondent has seen
whole sections of the city occupied
by the army in full war kit; he
has seen peaceful citizens searched
for arms in the streets; he has seen
policemen directing traffic with re-
volvers in their hands" Mr.. Cortesi
wrote.
HE knows that at least one inno-
cent man was machine
while entering a subway station.
He knows that reputable citizens
have been arrested .
and others have been spir-
tied away; that still others =
have had to choose between exile
and imprisonment, and that some
foreigners have been de-
ported"
He said the gravity of the situa-
ton was confirmed by the fact
that all jails in the country are
full to the overfiowing.
3'It Is confirmed also by this cor
respondents admittedly incomplete
files, which show that during the
month OF May alone eight news.
papers were closed and seven edi-
tors and other outstanding news
papermen arrested" Cortesi wrote
1T is hardly necessary to point
out that the above activities of the
Argentine government and many
others like them are direct viola
tions Of the commitments that Ar
gentina assumed when she signed
the final acts of Mexico City"
Mr.. Cortesi said that under the
pretext that in wartime any one
who did not approve of the govern
ment was traitor to his country
the government embarked on a
campaign of intimidation by whole
sale arrests of prominent citizens
and severe measures against any
newspaper that dared to raise its
voice in protest. At the same time
political censorship was re-estab-
ished in the vain hope that news
of what was going on could be
kept from the outside world"
He said censorship had mangled
one dispatch he sought to file Tues
day, dealing with a statement about
Argentina by Secretary of State
Stettinius in San Francisco. and
with a speech delivered to the
American community by United
States Ambassador Spruille Braden
Censorship was re-established BY
a decree dated April 28," Mr.. Cor.
tests dispatch said, and it quoted
the decree as saying kilograms were
subject to retention, delay and "tota.
or partial" suppression without no.
tice to the interested parties. Thi!
ostensibly wartime measure, Mr.
Cortesi said, applied even to new!

ed house.
His program was unusually well
chosen from an audience point of
view. 1t included several well
known compositions, notably t h e
Beethoven Sonata, opus 27, num-
Der 2. which has become known
as "The Moonlight Sonata" This
he played to the delight of the
younger members of the associa-
ton, particularly. The opening
movement was taken at an ex-
ceedingly slow tempo, n d was
played with the utmost delicacv of
touch: the scherzo was also play
ed delicately; the third movement
was tempestuous, all of which is
about what Beethoven wanted done
to his sonata by a pianist.
In the first group were also a
Gluck Melody-the program open
err, and the Rhapsody in G minor
by Brahms.
The second group was Rach-
maninoff. One of the three num-
bers was an arrangement by him
of Tschaikowsky's Lullaby, and
this was exquisite. Probably it in
terested some of the audience to
learn that Rachmaninoff had writ
ten a Prelude which was neither
C sharp minor nor the G minor
one. This particular one was in
B flat major, and it was mag
nificently played. - -. -
Following the intermission came
Chopin group, and the pianist
evinced a technic which was py-
rotechnic at times. The pianists in
the audience probably enjoyed this
group more than any of the rest
of the program, if one must have
a preference.
The last group included four
numbers of more popular appeal,
especially the impudent Coli
wog's Cake-Walk by Dubussy.
