Apparently, Dr. Castillo had a free hand in the choice of his col- leagues, though the Cabinet ar- rangement will only hold good in the absence of the President. There is a growing feeling that this absence may be prolonged. This, perhaps, explains why many sources would have preferred the appointment of a permanent Cab- inct by the President and Vice- President, jointly,
The new Cabinet, although con- servative, includes sincere advo- cates of democracy and friendship! with the United States and Great Britain. The British, especially, should be pleased with the inclu- sion of Dr. Julio A. Roca as For- eign Minister and Dr. Frederico Pinedo as Finance Minister. The Castillo regime can be considered extremely pro-British,
Dr. Rocą negotiated the Anglo- Argentine agreement in 1933 which is still the main feature of Argentine overseas trading policy. The Runciman-Roca pact, with its preferential claims on exchange, has never been popular among other nations. Dr. Roca has al- ways stood by this agreement and worked for close relationships be- tween the two countries,
is
Finance Minister, Pinedo equally pro-British but more significance attaches to his ap- pointment because he is also an anti-Nazi. In public speeches and "open letters" he has repeat- edly denounced the totalitarians and appealed for closer associa- tion with the Anglo-American democratic cause.
The democratic ideals of the Ministers holding two key posts in the new Cabinet may enable Act- ing President Castillo to resist popular criticism and dissipate suspicion that he 1s associated with reaction rather than with the liberalism that triumphed through President Ortiz.
