on 2 ers. It: f~ » bear out revelations on Nazixc sic activity in Argen- tina by U. >. Assistant Secretary of State Willian: L. Clayton. The evidence involves such top- ranking Argentine leaders as Col. Juan D. Peron, kingpin of the col- onels’ regime, and Finance Minister Cefcrino Alonso Irigoyen. It also in- dicates that Nazi political and eco- namic influence continues and hints at the continued harboring in Argen- tina of escaping Nazis. The Montevideo emigree paper Crrmca Lisre has made the follow- ing two charges: That Finance Minister Irigoyen is closely tied to sugar mill consignees Garvaglio and Zorraquin Inc., which in turn is connected with German and Italian interests. Dr. Guillermo Zortaquin was president of the Argentine Association of Friends of Germany until its dissolution. That the construction of an arse- nal at the Rio Santiago naval base has been entrusted to the black-listed German construction frm GEOPE. Closely connected with this firm ‘, is Dr. Carlos Ibarguren, Argentine * nationalist leader and principal legal "advisor of the National Bank of Argentina. Also connected with GEOPE is the notorious | pro-Nazi Gen. Basilio Pertine, who recently stated in the Buenos Aires German Club: “Argentina is not a country of traitors, but a harbor and refuge for its friends.” Genera] Pistarini, who, as Min- tater af Public Warbe te Sues Gs a Mauit ofr Orns, 5 responsible for letting contracts, is : _ also notoriously pro-Nazi. A photo- gr.iph on the cc ye, book on Nazi influence in Arf. a, written by R idical party deputy Silvano San- tander, shows him giving the Nazi salute. Crriica Lisre printed documented charges that Peron, who was then War Minister and Vice President, as well as Secretary of Labor, is the partner of Fritz Mandl, pro-Nazi munitions magnate, and maintains the closest connections with him. The charges were never refuted. The government has officially intervencd with Mandl’s firm, and he has been officially interned. But, say Argentine democrats, this was for show pur- poses only.
