When Argentina swunz the Rio conference away from an out-and- lout break with the Axis, many ci‘i- lzens of other American icpublics, | having only a casual knowledge uf her internal politics, were frankiy puzzled. Now a March of Time film, “The Argentina Question,” shows that |from Argentina’s viewpoint, at least, the move was understandable. | As President Castillo explains, if the other American republics hope |to alter 'Argentia’s decision, their | first concern must be for a better | understanding of the forces that make neutrality, for Argentina, the most expedient policy for the pres- | ent.

More than 1,000 employees of the Alaska Railroad and the CAA pre- i sonnel at Anchorage have agreed to | participate in the payroll deduction | ! plan as have the workers of the | Independence Mine at Wasilla.
