place. Throw out the Yankee* and
the surprising Philadelphia Ameri-

stretch.
PHIL MARCHtLDON' points out
that he nearly whitewashed the
Yankees in beating them in the
opener in the Bronx last mid-
Apr if.

Right-hander Marchildon wasn't

TTASHINGTON, D. C.—(NEA)—At the Inter-American Conier-
ence in Rio de Janeiro, there will be a lot of diplomatic lingo
about unanimous agreements, vetoes, sanctions, procedures and such
stuff which will be hard to read and considerably duller than the
Brewster-Hughes brawl. But there is one thing
American newspaper readers will be able ti> get
from even the most superficial following of the
news from Brazil. That will be how the Argentine
delegation behaves.
This Rio conference has been put off for more
than two years for the single reason that the gov-
ernment of President Juan T. Peron has been on
probation in the eyes of all other American re-
publics. The Argentine government was the only
one of these countries not present at the Mexico
City conference in March. 1945. The Act of Chapul-
tepec was drawn up at this conference. It recom-
mended the drafting of a treaty to stop acts of
aggression against any American country by six lines of action, rang-
ing from mild to strong: '
Recall of ambassadors: severing diplomatic relations; breaking off
consular relations; cutting off postal, wire and radio communications;
ending trade and banking relations, and the use of armed force.
A FTER the Act of Chapultepec was agreed to, March 3, 1945, the
other American republics decided to appeal to Argentina to change
its policies, join the United Nations, declare war or* the Axis, sign; the
Declaration of the UN, and adhere to the Act of Chapultepec.
On March 27, 1945, Argentina declared war on Japan, primarily,
and on Germany, secondarily, merely because the Nazis happened to
be partners of the Japs. The Peron government also agreed to the
Act of Chapultepec. On this basis, Argentina was invited to the San
Francisco conference and became a charter member of the UN. But
the Argentines never did sign the Declaration of the United Nations.
It has been evasive performance of this kind and talk out of both
sides of the mouth that has made the Argentine suspect in the United
States and delayed the Rio conference until now.
Officially, the U. S. and Argentine governments have patched things
up. President Truman accepted the resignations of both Assistant
Secretary of State Spruilie Braden, who didn't like Peron, and Am-
bassador George Messersmith. who did. That doesnt mean that either
the Braden or the Messersmith policy is now ueing followed. It merely
means that the President wanted to make a fresh start with a new
team under Secretary of State Gedrge Marshall.
The new team is led by Norman Armour in Braden** place and
James Bruce—an ex-milk company executive and a diplomatic un-
known—in Messersmith's job at Buenos Aires.
IN the meantime, double-talk from the Argentine is still heard. On
July 6, Peron made a big speech which every Argentine radio
station and newspaper had to carry, every citizen was supposed to
read or listen tor every upper grade school kid was supposed to write
themes on.
Among other high-sounding utterances. Peron said that the Argen-
tine's "spiritual and material resources had been mobilized for peace.
. . We Argentines believe that the countries which suffered jo
horribly in the war have a right to a better life."
On the day of Peron's speech, the Argentine Minister of Foreign
Affairs and Worship sent a note to Secretary of State Marshall. U
has jnst been made public. It is full of pious declarations about ad-
hering to pacifist principles. Secretary Marshall has just replu-U
politely, in effect, that this is dandy.
But the thing to watch at the Rio conference and after is how
welt the Peron government lives up to these principles.
If the United States starts pouring out arms, loans and other assist-
ance as demanded, without full guarantees on what is to be Jo,t • .
return for these favors, it is most apt to be played for ■> sucker, i...
ru.y still needs watching.
