BITTERLY ANTI-NAZI

FEELING IN ARGENTINA (Rec. 7 ■p.m.)' RUGBY, Dec, 4. Mr Robert Miller White, aged 24, a sheep farm foreman from Patagonia, who is now with the signals branch in an anti-aircraft division, saw armed guards at German consular offices in the Argentine when on his way to join up. White says the general feeling in the Argentine is bitterly anti-Nazi, in spite of a flood of propaganda from Germany. People everywhere are working to raise money through the Argentine Patriotic Fund for Britain's fight. White became, for instance, a member of the Bellows Club. Their badge is a bronze bellows, and every time a Messerschmitt is destroyed each member contributes one cent to the Spitfire Fund. German residents in Buenos Aires tried to counter another club, the insignia of which was a long silver pin. Only a few were sold. By horseback and then by rail White travelled 1000 miles from one of the world's largest sheep farms, in Patagonia, to Buenos Aires and then to England—altogether about 10,000 miles. He enlisted through the British Patriotic Fund, which has already paid the passages for 3000 men and women volunteers. . ,
