Argentines propbage.ndea aid. radio broadcasts i rodent weeks--in fact, sine the
appointment of Mr. A~easseraxmith as Ambassador--have borer at the worst only mildly critical
of the United States. There is a deoidadly more friendly tone in transmissions referring
to the United States for Latin American consumption sine that return of Mr. Braden to
Washington. *uoh of the "anti-United States propaganda," if it may be so called, is by
implication. Thus while paying lip service to democracy as we interpret it, the Argentine
Government has removed from its Supreme Court judges whale decisions are not in accord
with the Peroniat conception of democracy* Newspapers which arc acknowledged to be among
the outstanding ones in the world are suppressed for objecting to the impeachment of the
Supreme Court Justices.

The tone of Argentine radio broadcasts during the south has become increasingly
nationalistic, with emphasis on the now "Five Year Plan" of Peron, which is designed to
make Argontina "independent of foreign imperialists," although again, the attack on any
specific nation is by implication. There is, throughout the period covered, an inoreas-
ingly more evident 'appeal to neighboring countries to join forces with Argentina econom-
ically, and to enter into the Argentine orbit politically. Newscasts continually refer
to pending coaaa roial treatise with neighboring L .tin American countries, and continually
speak of the "Hispanic" bond among Latin American nations. News of the United States, by
contrast,, is becoming lees frequent in chows saonitoredo
During the week of the Court's Impeachment Vittorio Mussolini made a. public
appearance in Buenos Aires, and, according to broadcasts, was "given a fanfare of welcomes"
On April 28? it was reported,, Vittorio lad a mass meeting of ltalianF'Argf ntine-s in a4
memorial tribute to his father.

Panamanian broadcasts take f. nationalistic form and, as in the case of .Argentina,
are anti=United States by implication, at least for the month under study. The main point
of contention, as expressed in broadcasts, has been a demand for the United States with-
drawal from Panamanian bases
