Of questions to be propounded in
writing both to Iran and to Russia,

follows the proposal made to the
Council by Col. w. R. Hodgson of
Australia. It differs in that under
the original Hodgson plan there
would have been no decision to 60

By the Associated Press

BUENOS AIRES, Mar. 2s.-The
Argentine government categor-
ically denied today charges OF
helping the Nazis, leveled by the
United States, and asserted that
the State Department publica-
ton of it's blue book shortly be-
fore the February "a election
constituted "lamentable inter-
vention in internal political
affairs"
A bulky document, issued by For
eign Minister Juan Cooke, made a
sharply worded reply to United
States charges that members of the
military government, including Pres
ident-elect Juan Peron, were pro-
! NaziS and for that reason had not
complied with their duties as a part
aer in the United Nations.
Accusations Held Inconsistent,
The statement said the only rea-
son Argentina was answering these
erroneous charges" was to demon
strate to the rest of the world "the
manner in which it complied with
its international obligations and to
show how inexact were the imputa-
tions made against the spirit and
activity Of the Argentine Army and
how incorrect it was to charge
the present government was totali-
TARTAN"
In making blanket denial of the
Blue Book charges, the reply charged
that the United States State Depart
ment launched inconsistent accusa-
tions and reiterated notorious errors
of information that can only be
explained as deficient knowledge or
mistaken Interpretation of events" I"
The statement said the publica-
ton Of the Blue Book was "a unique
case in the diplomatic annals of the
hemisphere, contrary to the correct
practice of international law and
implying a serious attack on the
spirit Of fraternity of American
peoples governments"

counter little opposition in legal
