The decision of Brazil not to operate in waters off Argentina is due, it is understood, to desire not to give un- offence to the Government of necessary Argentina and also because British wars abic are operating in the vicinity of the Falkland Islands, off the Argentine coast. Hope is still felt at the State Department that the Argentine Govern- ment yet may join the war for world democracy. This is indiated by despatches from Buenos Aires, which say that it is regarded by some there as merely a question of time before Argen- tina will adopt a course similar to that of Brazil.
