Suspicion Of Pro-Nazi

Attitude GOVERNMENT GIVEN RECOGNITION (By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Received June 10, 10.5 p.m.) NEW YORK, June 9. The New York “Herald-Tribune's” correspondent in Santiago (Chile) says that private advices . received from Buenos Aires describe the new Argentine regime as a Nationalist pro-Fascist movement which is backed by a group of Nazi-minded generals and admirals and is designed primarily to prevent a break with the Axis. The correspondent says that the new President, General Ramirez, had long been known as one of the most pro-Nazi officers in the Argentine Army, taking great pride in his three years, of service with Kaiser Wilhelm’s Fifth Hussars. , Brazil has officially recognized the new Argentine Government, says a dispatch from Montevideo. The Rio de Janeiro correspondent of the Associated. Press of America, says that th© American Republics are hastening recognition in order to avoid, a possible embarrassing situation if the Axis first recognized President Ramirez, thus attempting to place him under an obligation. Later messages say that Paraguay, x Bolivia and Chile have also notified their recognition of the new Government. The Buenos Aires correspondent of the

“New York Times" says that machineguns and other weapons have been removed from The windows and roof of Government House, and the troops have returned to their barracks. These measures have given Argentinians a comforting feeling that normality is returning. No further sensational surprises can be expected for the present.
