ARGENTINA WARNED
POLICY UNACCEPTABLE
Rec. noon. WASHINGTON, Sept.. 29. In a statement dealing with United States policy towards Argentina, President Roosevelt said he had been following the Argentine situation closely, and with increasing concern.
"This situation presents the. extraordinary paradox of the growth of Nazi-Fascist influence and the increasing application of Nazi-Fascist methods in a country of this hemisphere at the very _ time when those forces of oppression and aggression are drawing ever closer to the hour of their final defeat and judgment in Europe and elsewhere in the world," he said. "The paradox is accentuated by the fact, of which we are al aware, that the vast majority of the people of Argentina have remained steadfast in faith in their own free democratic traditions and in their support of the nations and peoples who have been making such great sacrifices in the fight against the Nazi-Fascists. This has been made clear beyond all doubt by the great spontaneous demonstration of public feeling in Argentina for the liberation of Paris.
"The Argentine Government has repudiated its solemn inter-American obligations on the basis of which the nations of this, hemisphere have developed a system of defence to meet the challenge of Axis aggression.
