Abstract
Description
Enclosed with No. 1845. One of toughest problems Secretary [George C.] Marshall has to face is that of Argentina; no unanimity in Washington; some believe with Spruille Braden that Perón regime has not carried out its obligation to purge the country of Nazi influence; school represented by Ambassador Messersmith holds that while Perón has not yet completely de-Nazified the Argentine, he has gone a long way, and U.S. should adopt friendlier attitude; Marshall apparently following a "wait and see" policy, but he will have to tackle problem soon; Marshall eager to build up solid hemisphere bloc and to hold the long postponed inter-American defense meeting at Rio; hemispheric program will fall short of objective if it excludes Argentina, but unity cannot be achieved by condoning "hotbed of fascism."
