NEW YORK. July 21

The American Associated Press Agency at Monte Video said: Advices from Argentina state the Argentine Government has refused to convoy its own merchant ships, as suggested by Washington. Senor Ruiz.Guinazu told the Argentine Chamber that Argentina would not join the herd of American Republics which were being led bv the United States to make war on the Axis. The statement was made in the course of a speech answering a Socialist Deputy, Nicolas Repetto, who demanded, in view of a German submarine sinking the Argentine ship Rio Tercerto, a severance of relations with the Axis, in accordance with recommendations of the Foreign Ministers’ Conference at Rio de Janeiro, last January.
