. PORTRAIT OF A GUY WHO
 WAS RIGHT
tBut who wishes he were wrong)

@AS ' Pres. Truman was quoted in the papers the other day as being "un- happy about the goings-on in Ar eentlna. With the State Dept he's got, small wonder he's unhappy. Me, I'd be scared to death.
 You'd look far to find a more sat- lsfied- with-themselves outfit than the gentlemen (most of them) of our State Dept. The smart ones get tickled to death with themselves Tor knowing it all, and the dopier ones find happiness is being able to wear striped pants and breakaway collars with such dash. What slngmg chorus they'd make!
 So 1t was very surprising to read dispatch from San Francisco that they were disturbed" by the re- ports of the Argentine Fascist out rages cabled from Buenos Aires by Arnaldo Cortesi of a New York pa- per. Cortesi listed the familiar out rages popularized by the Axis beats and Jolted the State Dept this way:
 Things have happened in Buenos Aires recently that exceed anything this correspondent can remember in l7 years experience in Fascist Italy"
 One hates to upset the compla- cency of the gents in the pretty pants, but it's time they knew really it is-that Argentina is carry ing on the pattern of govt that we've just spent 8 million American lives to destroy. What are we buy ing with our dead, gentlemen?
 It's too easy to say that the LISA delegates favored the admittance of Argentina to membership in the united Nations just because the So- viet's Molotov opposed the country. But it would be very hard to say just why she was favored for mem bership. Maybe because her dele gates and their wives tango so di- tinely.
 Or, as one sourpuss muttered at San Francisco: Argentina has as much right to the State Dep't's love as Darlan had"
 What really disturbed the dele gates at San Francisco must have been something other than Argen- tlna's caperS. They had had plenty of warning of them. Authorities, mostly Americans, argued that ad- mittance of Argentina to member ship would kill all the movements for freedom getting under way in that country. An OK by the con- ference would empower the ruling Fascists to crack down on the spon- sors of democracy. MT. Cortesi came along last week and confirmed the truth of all those warnings.
 Argentina was told that a declar- ation of war on the Axis powers was a condition of membership. Never was 8 country gladder than Argen- tina to be at war;. With Germany on it's back, she threw 8 challenge at Hitler. So with the country at war, Argentina's rulers were able to impose every kind of wartime measure-censorship, blanket arrest, throttling of the press, jailing Of the innocent. If it was within the power of Fascist mob to be grate- ful, Argentina's bosses should be fzll of thanks to the good neigh bors for making things so nice and legal for her. It is such fun to kick the USA in the teeth according to law.
 This reporter knows that nothing in the Cortesi dispatch was sur 2rising to the State Dept. |.

This reporter knows that the State Dept knows that the condition is much worse. This means that the s. D. is transacting business with publicity known Fascists - and is, in effect, suppressing the informa- tion from the Amercian people |. The American people expect dicta- torships to stifle the truth. But in concealing the truth our State Dept is assisting the censorship of the. war criminals holding Argen- tina for ransom today This porter flatly states that incontro- vertible evidence exists and is known to exist by the s. D. prov ing that Colonel Peron and his mob |operated in closest collaboration with Berlin.
 MT. Hull regarded Argentina as a member (for all practical purposes) of the enemy -Axis-and MT. Hull opposed appeasement. That's the trouble with these Tennesseans-like Andrew Jackson and Cordell Hull they may not expect the first - but they know who'll throw the second In Tennessee a slap in the face (diplomatic or otherwise) in answered with a sock on the jaw.

One of the boys was missing an arm. Another had lost a leg-the others were also slightly worn out. They asked for soft drink and were refused service.
 When they wouldn't leave the store the police were called. The cops told these Japanese American soldiers that it was then owners privilege to refuse service the fact, said the cops - that they were in the uniform of the American army didn't change any laws.
