Uncharges Nazis Have Built In
Argentina Replica Of Economic War
Machine That Was Used In Germany
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13 (JP)
In a warning to the world Tues
day the United States charged
that nazis have built in Argen
tina a complete copy of the eco
nomic war machine they had in
Germany and now possess the
.. essentials for reorganizing their
fighting power while the allies
occupy the German homeland.
The warning was set forth in
a 40.000 word blue book on
Argentina distributed to the otlv
er American governments as
part of the current inter-American
consultations on the Buenos
Aires regime.
State department officials in
making it public said Argentina
was not included in these inter
. government talks.
Aided Naxis
Based largely on nazi docu
ments captured in a German
salt mine, the department de
nounced the successive Argen
tina governments for having
given "'positive aid" to the axis
during the war.
The department said the evi
dence justified conclusions that:
1. The totalitarian individuals
and groups controlling the Ar
gentine government now aim to
set up a totalitarian state and
that this is already "partly ac
complished." 2. Its "brutal use of force and
terrorist methods . . . the mili
tary regime has made a mock
ery of its pledge to the United
Nations" to reaffirm faith in hu
man rights.
3. Ever since the allies in
vaded Europe, Argentina had
been adopting a "defensive
strategy to camouflage" and that
its "repeated avowals of pro
democratic intentions" proceed
from this Dlan.
4. The policies and actions of
tne recent regimes m Argentina
were aimed at undermining the
inter-American system.
Noting that over half of last
year's budget in Argentina was
spent for building up Argen
tina's armed forces, the depart
ment declared tnat in Argen
tina the Germans have construct
ed a complete duplicate of the
economic structure for war they
had in Germany."
Economic Organization
"They possess," he continued,
"today in Argentina the econom
ic organization industrial, com
mercial and agricultural which
they need to provide a base for
the reconstitution of German ag
gressive power during the pe
riod when the homeland is still
occupied.
"The industries essential to
warfare in which experimenta
tion in the weapons of future
wars may take place and in
which prototypes may be devel
oped exist in Argentina and are
controlled by Germans."
The department further said
that businesses which can be re
lied upon "to provide reserves
for future aggression in countries
destined for conquest, continue
to exist."
The state department listed 21
of what it called the "more no
torious" spies and subversive
agents in Argentina and the Ger
man firms with which they are
associated.
It also reviewed in detail the
manner in which it contends the
government has taken over con
trol of the labor unions, sup
pressed opposition by "brutal use
of force and terrorist methods,"
and subsidized a pro-nazi press
to keep the nazi ideology alive.
State Union
Frequently mentioning the
part played by Col. Juan Peron,
former vice president and cur
rently presidential candidate,
the department noted that Peron
as minister of labor in 1944
brought all labor unions under
government control "into one
giant syndicate or state union.
"Since 1943 no Argentine
union has had a free election,"
he declared.
The "blue book" also charged
that Argentina has protected
German businesses and interests
along with nazi individuals.
"German capital, German or
German-linked management,
German militarism and German
fascism have long exerted a ma-

Salem Wants
Rent Control
SALEM, Feb. 13 (JP) The
Salem trades and labor council
and the newly-organized World
War II post of the American Le
gion appealed to the OPA last
night to establish rent ceilings
in Salem.
Salem had rent control by citv
ordinance, but it expired last
November 15. Since then, rents
have skyrocketed. The Salem
Capital Journal, which is con
ducting a rent-reducing cam
paign, quoted federal housing
authority heads as saying that
Salem rents are the highest in
Oregon.
City officials warned that un
less landlords cut rents, they
will go back to local control.
Both the labor and veterans
group, however, oppose local
control, asserting federal control
is more effective and that it also
could apply outside the city lim
its. The veterans resolution said
that returning veterans "are dis
mayed and angered to discover
that their return and readjust
ment to civilian life is being de
liberately thrown out of gear by
unscrupulous landlords with
short memories."
German POW's To

FORT LEWIS, Feb. 13 (JP)

jor influence in Argentina," it
declared, adding:
"As a result of all these de
velopments the Argentina dic
tatorship which emerged after
June 1943 represents ai closely
woven union of both Argentina
and German or German inspired
totalitarian elements."
Two hundred schools in Argen
tina are either nazi controlled
or strongly influenced by the
Germans, it said.
