Argentina President Says Fifth Column Constitutes Grave Danger for Americas By WILLIAM POZZO Unit Prmu Btmtt Corraponeiit BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 21 (U.PJ President Robert M. Ortiz, of Argentina, in an interview given to the United Press' Tues day, warned the Americas are faced by a grave crisis, with subversive doctrines working against democracy. Ortiz appealed for a broad program of cooperation by the nations of America "to estab lish their defense against foreign perils." The correspondent was re ceived by Ortiz in a special audience for the express pur pose of discussing the inter national situation, despite the fact the president is still con valescing fro ma serious illness which five months ago forced him temporarily to delegate his powers to Vice President Ramon S. Castillo. Ortiz said he does not regard as an imminent peril the "physical occupation" of the American continent, but the principal danger lies in the "Ideas of dissolution" now at work. He declared he believes a "community of Ideas," which he regards as so necessary be tween the nations of America, must be considered only as a complement to a program of action or "technical coopera tion" among the Americas. He asserted the value of the recent visits of the chiefs of staffs ot armies of the Latin American countries to the United States, especially that of General Guillermo Jose Mohr, ot the Argentine army, will be enormous. Ortiz made It clear Argentina approves of the United States' plan for hemisphere defense and that Argentina is willing to co operate therein, thus confirming previous United States dis patches. He indirectly implied, how ever, Argentina may object to the establishment by Uruguay of a powerful base at Punta Del Estc, at the mouth of the Plate river, asserting he had no doubt that when the moment arrived to decide on definite locations for the establishment of bases in Uruguay, "our tra ditional friend, Uruguay, will take our interests into consid eration." State sales taxes on auto mobiles, parts and accessories amounted to $76,000,000 in the year 1938. State gasoline taxes were more than 10 times as great, standing at $818,433,000 last year.
