taken for granted that two German movements will begin to tc burrow perhaps retiring to previously previously previously pre prepared positions in the language of the of a a L retreating army They are the Junkers Junkers Junkers Junk Junk- ers and the Nazis At the present writing for the first time in history military control control con con- of Germany has been wrested I from the hands of the junker gen They did their pest est to ad act acton acton on their ancient adage We as a caste must always live to fight another day A lost war to them is isan isan an incident arid and considered merely a a L temporary set-back set on the road to tc eventual world To that thai end they planned a peace before their ranks were too greatly weakened weakened weakened weak weak- ened or their resources exhausted But the Nazis stepped in wrecked t their plans As a caste they will L probably be completely destroyed their heir estates and therefore their means of livelihood removed What Whai many people do not know is that thai the German high command had their own private funds voted by the government which they managed th for the benefit of the army arhy Whether the Nazis have obtained this remains to be seen But in in any case you may be sure the burning burning burning burn burn- ing patriotism of those junkers who survive will keep an underground organ organization alive auve And then comes the Nazis with a younger but equally fanatical loyalty loyal loyal- ty y to national socialism Their underground underground underground un un- un- un organizations we know are already prepared Meanwhile there is a strong suspicion suspicion suspicion sus sus- sus- sus on the part of many persons in Washington that a third breeding place for totalitarian militarism is being cultivated right here in the Western hemisphere In the past weeks I have received several letters and one telephone call protesting against the action of the state department in breaking relations relations relations re re- re- re lations with Argentina So far as I could tell the persons who communicated communicated communicated with me were perfectly honest They all stressed the known fact that the chief characteristic of the Argentina attitude is traditionally pro Argentine nationalists The inference was that the government was not ant North anti North American or pro- pro nazi fascist and should be let alone l ne As a matter of of fact aside from Argentines Argentine's own aims there seems to be evidence that the German Nazis and perhaps some of the German Ger man Junkers are arc transferring their wealth to Argentina There Is not the slightest doubt that the Buenos Aires government has aided and abetted in the spread of nazi-fascist nazi propaganda and is that at this this very moment looking sympathetically on the activities of Nazi agents within its borders The army has long been indoctrinated with Prussian militarism through its officers who have been trained in Germany Unless the United States takes the lead in applying sanctions in the form of a strict embargo on Argentina Argentina Argen Argon tina we may find our ourselves elves with a full-fledged full war of aggression on our hands right here in our own hemi sphere In the case of Argentina we may be witnessing not only the growth ofa of 01 ofa a powerful military dictatorship but butone butone butone one which will be used to nourish and sustain the very forces which we have spent our blood and wealth to suppress in Europe Europe Europe-an an over ground underground |
