Such prompt recognition is, however, consistent with\ngeneral Argentine policy of continuing diplomatic relations despite changes\nin governments, and needs no special explanation in the case of Peru and\nVenezuela. Another example of charges made is that by a Chilean radio\nstation: namely, that Bogota Resolution KIXV on continuance of diplomatic\nrelations was introduced by Argentina to facilitate military revolts.\nActually, this proposal was first brought forward by Mexico. It was sup-\nported by Argentina, the Dominican Republic and Ecuador; and was opposed\ninitially by Chile and Peru.\nThe Argentine government is unquestionably carrying out a long-range\nprogram designed to extend Argentine influence throughout Latin America\nthrough propaganda and economic penetration. There is reason to belleve\nthat Argentina considers military-dominated governments favorable to that\nend.
