...your story about the appointment of one Jose Figuerola to take charge of Argentina's guns-for-butter Five-Year-Plan [TIME, Dec. 16]. Reason for my reaction: the picture you ran and labeled "Blueprinter Figuerola is my own likeness-and I am decidedly not working for Mr. Peron, nor have I ever been in any way connected with Axis activities...

There remains only the necessity for halting Argentine encroachment by aiding the unproductive states that come under Peron's thumb through their economic dependence.
