AFL COMMITTEE EXPECTED TO
REJECT WORLD LABOR PARLEY
Break the Goal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25-AP)=
Further joint action by the Ameri-
can republics to uproot and destroy
any pro-Axis movements underway
In South America was foreshadowed
today by refusal of the United
States and seven other western
hemisphere nations to recognize the
revolutionary rulers of Bolivia.
The immediate goal in this
diplomatic maneuvering to be-
lieved to be a break between
Nazi Germany and Argentina,
which new to the only American
nation maintaining relations
with Germany. Talk of Axis in-
trigue has been linked with the
Bolivian’ revolution so that ev-
ery development involving Bo-
livia now is studied closely for
its effect on Argentina.
That Argentine reaction voo,
not be long in forthcoming beoame
apparent when Foreign Minister
Alberto Gilbert announced at Bue-
nos Aires that he would have "Im-
portant news" momentarily.
His statement was made after
conferring with U. S Ambassador I
Norman Armour, British Ambassa-
dor Sir David Victor Kelly and the
German charge d’affaires, Erich Ot-
to Meynen.
The United States non-recogni-
tion policy was announced by the
State department late yesterday.
The statement linked the Bolivian
regime with "subversive groups hos-
tile to the Allied cause."
No reference was made to eco-
nomic sanctions or other measures

persons, including L C. Barrow,

Not a Surprise
LA PAZ, BOLIVIA, Jan. 25-
(AP)—The foreign ministry said
last night It had not been of -
fficially notified of Washing-
tan's decision to withhold rec-
ognition of the government of
President Villarroel but the ac-
tion apparently came aa no sur-
prise.
While government officials
declined to comment, there
seemed a disposition to feel that
the stand of the United States
would not necessarily affect
economic relations between the
two countries. This feeling ap-
parently was predicated on the
importance of Bolivian exports
particularly metals—to the U. 8.
war effort.
and the intention of the United
States and cooperating governments
apparently was to await reaction in
Bolivia and Argentina to the pure-
ty diplomatic step before doing any-
thing else.
Along with issuance of the an-
nouncement a State department of-
ficial disclosed that Ambassador
Pierre De L. Boal. 48, who has been
in La Pax since March 1942 was
being ordered back home
The next immediate action by the
cooperating governments to expected
to be announcements in still other
American capitals that they also are
adopting non-recognition policies.
The United States was the fourth
notion to act, being preceded by
Uruguay, Cuba and Venezuela.
% % *
Foreign Minister Oswaldo Aranha
of Brazil declared in Rio de Janeiro
last night that in view of informa-
tion brought to light about the ori-
gins of the Bolivian regime he could
not recommend that his government
recognize it, Guatemala, Peru and
the Dominican Republic also turned
thumbs down Nineteen American
governments have exchanged in-
formation on the revolution and
all are expected to decide against
recognition.
Such action to expected to im-
ply a strong warning to Argentina.
Axis activities in that country were
tacitly recognised by the Buenos
Aires government itself last week
when it announced that an ample
investigation" had been undertak-
en of the alleged existence of a spy
ring in the country, and that sev-
eral persons have already been de-
tained.
Speculation that Argentina
might break relations with the
Axis arose from the fact that
the Washington announcement
Ml Bolivia omitted all mention
of Argentina, although a blast
at that nation had been connid-
ently expected by Latin Ameri-

The Washington statement was
worded with extreme caution. It

open so that the question of recogn-
ition of a new or reconstituted Bol-
ivian government might come up
again at any time
The statement said that the “most
