...least $275,000,000-a particularly dead loss. Last week, when the Inter-American Peace Conference rose, it had been definitely ascertained that Argentina will NOT be a party to that clause of a neutrality treaty adopted by the other American states which would operate, in case of a European war, to prevent her from selling her beef, horses, sheep and foodstuffs to the belligerents.

Exile Trotsky expectorates in print upon Dictator Stalin on all occasions, and Stalin only recently staged in Moscow an amazing trial of alleged "Trotskyist conspirators" against himself (TIME, Aug. 31).
