"Great Stellar Republic"

As every sensible Italian knows, scheming Yankees provoked and probably financed the Argentine revolution--such last week was the "angle" taken by Fascist editors.

No proofs were offered, no facts cited, no "inside story" came from Italian correspondents in the Argentine. But:

"The United States' imperialistic policy registers a new success," gloomed Il Lavoro Fascisti, organ of potent labor syndicates. "It was necessary for the United States to remove the only man [ex-Presi- dent Hipolito Irigoyen of Argentina] in the South American republics who was unwilling to submit to a policy of dominion by the great stellar republic."

Blaming "Washington" explicitly for the revolt Il Tevere, mouthpiece of Avanguardisti (the super-Fascist "Advance Guard"), added scathingly:

"Latin America should be reorganized so as to be out of reach and undisturbed by the famous [i. e. infamous] Monroe Doctrine. It is doubtful whether Argentina showed wisdom in adopting a form of government modeled on that of the United States . . , concentrating excessive powers in the hands of the President against which no defense is possible without armed revolt."
