The Nazis in Latin America
The intensity of Nazi activity in Latin America has reached the point when it constitutes a grave danger to certain Govern- ments. The Bolivian Government has been forced to the extreme step of expelling Ernst Wendler, the German Minister, whose Legation had become the centre of far-reaching sub- versive activities. Twenty Germans who recently arrived at the garrison town of La Paz with diplomatic passports were described in one newspaper as "agents for the Nazi invasion." Officers at the Staff College at Cochabamba have been charged with disseminating Nazi propaganda and arrested. The terror which German agents seek to inspire is illustrated by the report of the murder of a member of the Colombian House of Repre- sentatives, who had given evidence in the recent prosecution of the German Transocean News Service. Ernst Wendler, ex- pelled from Bolivia, has gone to Chile, another country in which the Nazis are working underground with their propa- ganda. In the Argentine subversive Nazi activities have come to light. Meanwhile, on the other side of the waist-line of the Atlantic it is reported that large forces of German technicians are at work at Dakar. The preliminaries of the Nazi campaign against the Americas are in full swing.
