ZI SPIES IN SOUTIl AMERICA nother State Department cable, | €, 1944, tells how Spain helped quggle Nazi technicians and indusirialists into Argentina and also set up a Nazi master plan for tr erring ioformation and personnel to Ar- gentina. From their base in Ar- gentina, the Nazis spread their net- wark into other countries—all with the help bf the Spanigh fascists. To facilitate this, the Spanish Ministry” of Foreign Affairs even went to the extent of arranging with German consulates for Ger- man agents to falsely claim Ar- gentine as their birth-place. How the Spanish-Nazi-Argentine axis operated was forcefully dem- cnstrated in Colombia, where in 1944 a revolt was organized against President Lopez, a great friend of the USA. It has now developed that one import group behind this revolt was the Accion Comin- ado de Hispanidad, a subversive group of pro-Nazi Falangists or- ganized by the Argentines and Ger- mans via Spain. Regular contacts were maintained with them by couriers from Spain. Many of these reports, hitherto collecting dust in the State Depart- ment, have now been laid before y Byrnes and his assistant 1y, Spruille . Braden.

General Orgaz denied everything. | | A few days later, however, an! | American official led Spanish offi- cials to a secret Spanish observa- tion post equipped with radio funds, industrial transmitters, code books and cop-| *! ies of messages to German U-Boats, ' ‘This incident was reported to the State and War Departments in cables dated Feb. 19, and 21, 1945. The State Department at that time was letting Jimmy Dunn gov- ern its Spanish policy. Nothing happened. Inside fact is that some State Department officials, prior to the Byrnes administration, appeared to be sympathetic toward Franco. On Aug. 3, 1944, for instance, three Spaniards were executed by | Franco at Melilla as a penalty fo aiding the escape of Allied prison: ers. The three Spaniards were Re- | publicans and opposed to the pro-! Axis policy of Franco. Up until the end, it was expect- ed that American consular officials in Spain would intervene to save | them. But not one finger was lift- ed. The gentlemen of the State De- partment, at that time, were not in- terested in helping those who had helped Americans—if it got them in wrong with Franco.
