General Franco and Colons
Peron must be surprised and de

moral confusion. Yet they hat
little reason to hope that the;

cans not knowing the difference be
tween intervening in the interna
affairs of a neighbor and squaring
accounts with our enemies.
Yet, as respects General France
and Colonel Peron, that is exactlj
what we are doing. That is all tha
we are doing. We are dealing wit!

waged undeclared war against us
It is preposterous to say that thej

Though this course remains open
to us, and should be kept open,

continue to believe it regardless of
1 the election returns in Argentina.
• To put in a claim for indemnity
1 would be to punish the Spanish and
• Argentine people, and we prefer to
• believe that we have no quarrel
! with them, in fact that they are the
i victims, and in part the dupes, of
. the two dictatorships. We have
: said, therefore, that if they liber
[ ate themselves, we shall consider
that the injuries we have suffered
. have been morally repaired, and
that the cause of conflict will have :
. been removed.
Only by an abuse of words can ■
this be called intervention. The 1
situation would be quite clear if '
we said to Spain and Argentina.
“Your governments have injured
us; we have a right to reparation. (
We shall consider liberation from t
your dictatorships the best form
of reparation. It will repudiate c
their acts and it will be a guar- j
anty that they will not be repeated. ,
But if that is not possible, we shall .
have to put in our bill of flam- )
ages.’”
* * * 1
By a strange form of reasoning t
our natural, simple, and inevitable (
reaction against the hostility of the i
Argentine government has been 1
represented as somehow inconsist- 1
ent with the good neighbor policy f
and the unity of the hemisphere. £
It is said that we had no right j
to react to its hostility except with £
the consent—presumably more or i
less unanimous — of the other t
American republics. But why did I
we not have the right to react: was 1
not the hostility of the Argentine
government directed against us?
It is said that it is unwise for us e
to react without hemisphere con- «
sent. In fact, it is the only manly 1
and decent way for us to proceed. \
For the good neighbor policy can. I
not mean that before we can react £
to a grave injury, we must put all 1
the small countries within reach of
Peron on the spot, exposing them t
to his vengeance if they do not <
help him "'cape a reckoning with <
us. t
We objected and reacted when 1
Japan struck us at Pearl Harbor, (
and no one said we had to consult [
the hemisphere before we could !
fight back. The American repub- ‘
lies, most of them, expected us to
react to Japan. Now Argentina
tried to stab us in the back after '
Pearl Harbor, and if we react, we j
can assume that, once it is ex- :
plained to them and not befuddled ’
for them by authoritative voices
in this country, the American re- .
publics will have the common 1
sense—and we may be sure also, J
the chivalry—not to misunderstand '
us. — Copyright, 1946, New York

It is altogether irrelevant to the

not a democracy but an authori

enemies.

WASHINGTON, March 5 — (JP) -

It furnished a forum at the same

pending their receipt at the Krem

is relating to the continued pres

Protests
The fact that they constituted
protests, however, was learned

WEALTHY LAWYER
KILLS SON, SELF
Early Morning Murder,
Suicide Follows Quarrel
At Fashionable Hotel
■ 1 ■ ■'
WASHINGTON, March, 5—(/P)
Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald
held Tuesday that Wilbur Stamm
ler, wealthy New York attorney,
killed his' recently adopted son,
George D. Leist, 25, and then com
mitted suicide m an early morning
shooting at the fashionable Ward
man Park hotel.
The coroner issued a homicide
suicide certificate after an autopsy.
Leist’s wife told police she saw
the 38-year old attorney shoot
three times at her husband, a
Pennsylvania Central Airlines pilot,
before she ran screaming from
their hotel suite. The shooting, she
said, culminated a quarrel over the
terms of the adoption of Leist by
Stammler, which was completed
at Shreveport, La., Feb. 5.
For Education
Detective Sgt. Harold C. Huffman
of the homicide squad said police
were told that Stammler adopted
Leist, who had been married four
years and had a three-year old
child, as a means toward helping
Leist further his musical educa
tion.
.tiuiiman said police had this
further information:
Returning from Shreveport,
Stammler and Leist were met at
Richmond, Va., by Mrs. Leist and
the three registered at the hotel
here last night.
Quarrel Starts
The two men began quarreling
at about 3 a. m. A partly filled
bottle of whiskey was found in the
suit, but Mrs. Leist said there had
been little drinking.
Stammler’s body, fully clothed,
was found lying across Leist’s head
and shoulders. Leist wore trousers
and shirt, but no shoes,
Will Found
A document, purporting to be
Stammler’s will, was found in the
suite. Drawn before his adoption of
Leist, it bequeathed him a grand
piano and left the bulk of the law
yer’s possessions to relatives. A
copy of the adoption papers also
was found.
Mrs. Leist gave Stammler’s New
York address as 42 West 44th
street, which is the location of the
