Nazism Flourishes |
In Argentina
—
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13—OP)—
United States has warned that
Nazism lives on in Argentina. It
is camouflaged now, but strong
and awaiting future opportunity.
The State Department says the
Germans possess today in Argen
tina a base to rebuild their ag
gressive power during the period
when their homeland is still occu
pied. *
The assertion is based largely
on documents captured in a Ger
man salt mine. The department
denounced the successive Argen
tine governments as having given
positive aid to the axis.
Pity the poor gal who goes up
the street and nobody whistles.
