MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
Subject: Argentine Complicity with the Enemy
Months of painstaking research and evaluation, in-
volving the examination of more than 600 tons of captured
documents, extensive interrogations within Germany and
the review of a wide variety of other material, have
resulted in an impressive document which shows:
(1) Argentine espionage collaboration with the
enemy to damage our war effort, (2) Nazi-Argentine coop-
eration to create in Argentina a lazi-Fascist state,
(3) conspiracy with the enemy to undermine the Governments
of neighboring countries and destroy their collaboration
with us, (4) successive Argentine protection of enemy
economic interests, and (5) conspiracy with the enemy to
build up the Argentine military machine.
I attach a copy of our final working draft of the
aforementioned document. Minor drafting changes are now
being made and we hope to have the final draft in the
hands of the printer by 10 a.m., February 9. It will
be
printed over the weekend and it is planned to hand it at
5 p.m., February 11, to the representatives in Washington
of the other American republics, except Argentina. The
press would receive it at the same time, with a 48--hour
release date.
The orinted document will be delivered to you a.s
soon a.s it is ready.
I believe that you will find this at once a fasci-
nating and damning presentation
