Morning July 31 1912 Tb Argentina Attitude Imliratc Axit Influence Faithfully echoing exploded accusations of the nazi propaganda peddler the foreign minister of Argentina Enrique Ruiz Guinazo has been Exis-nunde- d to convince his countrymen and n neighbors that “the ther other western leading United States lies by the nose schemes to dominate the whole South American continent” From his attitude and utterances evidently approved by President Castillo this overzealous advance agent of the totalitarian circus seems contemptuous of the intelligence of Latin Americans They must know what subserviance to nazi domination means whether accomplished by force as in the case of Poland by deception a3 in Denmark by intrigue as in France by voluntary submission as m Rumania or by base betrayal as tring Latin-America- re-p- ut in Italy Surely Argentinians are aware of the common condition of all conquered peoples on continental Europe —of their enslavement their degradation their spoliEven the illiterate dwellers in ation remote sections of Argentina must have heard of the disarmament the debilitation the demoralization of all weaker nationalities that have been herded beneath the swastika It is to sich a fate the complacent Castillo and the recalcitrant Ruiz Guinazu would consign their constituents rather than risk ‘‘absorption by the imperialistic government of the United States” At the close of the first World war when the victorious allies wore dividing' territorial spoils when Japan had taken German islands in the Pacific when France and Italy had appropriated the African possessions of Germany when former foes of the exiled kaiser vho are Hitler's comrades of today were strip— ping Germany to the bone the United States of America did not ask for one acre of land or a single concession of commerce from the enemy which surrendered for an armistice and signed the treaty of Versailles While the obvious reason for the outspoken animosity of certain Argentine politicians toward the United States may be of nazi inspiration the excuse submitted by Ruiz Guinazu is “the refusal of the North American government to make armaments avilable to Argentina without any strings attached” But why should we supply potential enemy or a misguided friend of actual enemies with arms and accoutrements which demight be turned against our own fenders? the policy of “alert neuprogram designed trality” a compromise to promote harmony in Buenos Aires prevails in spite of the sinking of the ArOf course gentine ships and the contempt shown by nazi commanders for the Argentine flag Meanwhile the foreign minister in Castillo's cabinet is qualifying for a place on a roll of service where the names of Laval and Quisling are indelibly inscribed f I- Perils of Pioneering Ani Present-DaProspects y - pioneers Indian war veterans nonogenarians who helped build a prosperous and progressive slate on a foundation of mutual confidence and cooperative effort passed away last Monday They had lived to see another celebration of the anniversary of that historic day when the first wagon train of tired and dusty migrants entered the valley of Great Salt Lake One of these lingering witnesses to marvelous developments in Utah George C Riser was born at the old “pioneer fort” the present site of Pioneer park He was the secondsmale child to register in Salt Lake City On his return from the Black Hawk war at the age of 17 he was employed to teach 50 mules how to pull street cars through the mud of the metropolis and took an active interest in the evolution of motor power from burros to buses dying at the age of S3 having done his part in state building Another pioneer to pass the same day was Michael Jensen of Gunnison Although a native of Denmark he came to Utah when 11 years old walking in from the Laramie plains where stampeding buffalo had destroyed wagons oxen and personal effects He was likewise an Indian fighter kept alert by hostile marauders for over three years in the Sanpete section At the age of 97 he passed away leaving a large number of worthy descendants Men and women who live beyond the ears and ten who gan of forescore Two N have

country and his own house” the military experts who have been promising relief to the beleaguered soviets were not giving the fuehrer full credit for counting on the possibility of a continental invasion by allied armies Fighting with their backs to the wall and grim determination in their hearts the Russians have been anxiously awaiting some western coast diversion of nazi force and fury Out of Moscow comes a Into the Caupiteefus appeal for help mechmerciless casian region pour the axis anized armies of the Russians cling to the hope that President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill had actually formulated some practical plan of invasion and that they must have promised Foreign Corrimissar Vyacheslav Molotov to launch a second front That such a movement was contemplated and sincerely planned no one seriously doubts But “the date was not' set for performance” and the predicament of the valiant defenders remains in status quo Inquiries have been circulating in soviet circles based on a belief that German divisions were being transferred from France to Russia “What is there to prevent the launching of a second front” is a question often asked Those who sense the perils of water transportation across the mine-strew- n submarine patrolled channels that lie between the British isles and continental Europe know the answer And now comes an Associated Press dispatch from Switzerland indicating a steady movement of crack troops to fortify nazi defenses along threatened coasts Unless the soviets manage to keep their confidence and courage and to count on ultimate assistance the outlook is gloomy — not through doubt of ultimate Victory by the united nations but because every setback will prolong a destructive demoralizing debilitating war New York

be too remote geographically and too strong militarily for invasion but we will cerHitler eftainly face a typical withrevolution to fort promote in No doubt all nazi cunning will be devoted to promoting subtle with disunity and dissatisfaction our existing form of government On that home front will be an active battle line For this reason every mistake of this government which creates dissatisfaction or a sense of injustice among our people is an encouragement to Hitler’s intentions Any supposedly patriotic efforts to promote group antagonism Smong the negroes and others is a paving stone on the road of Hitler's purposes (The communists always thought this was the way to revolution) Any weakening of our will to fight will likewise prepare the way Need For Unity The time
