„The gravest sort of threats“

Editorial content. „Threat of Diplomatic Break Said to Have

      Brought Argentine Ban on ,The Dictator‘

      Buenos Aires (By Air Mail) – Behind the action of the

local authorities in banning The Great Dictator,

following ,friendly representations‘ to Dr. Julio A. Roca,

Foreign Minister, is said to have been a threat

by the Italian Government to sever diplomatic relations

with Argentina should the Chaplin pix be exhibited

here. Further, it is now reported that Argentina was informed

Germany would follow the Italian example.

      Color is lent to this report by the fact that the ban

coincided with the granting of $50,000,000

credit by the U. S. Government to Argentina. It is pointed out

that in view of this it must have been the gravest sort

of threats which influenced the Argentine authorities to reverse

the original okay and halt the triple premiere which

would have benefited the National Welfare Conference

and the National Aviation Board.“
