TIME Banned in Argentina

Argentina, the only South American Government still diplomatically related to the Axis, last week issued an order in keeping with its role. It banned TIME--and 188 other publications--from Argentine mails.*

On the list with TIME: pro-Communist and liberal Argentine newspapers (like Argentine Libre); a few organs published for people in exile (like Checoeslovaquia Libre); 20 Mexican publications; 13 Chilean; 13 Uruguayan; a scattering from Spain, Cuba, Belgium, Venezuela, Russia; and 21 U.S. newspapers and magazines.

Reason for TIME'S exclusion: heavyhanded, stubborn Argentine President Pedro Pablo Ramirez objected to recent TIME reports on Argentina, particularly on her pro-Fascist foreign policy.

Other countries from which TIME has been banned: Germany, Italy, Japan.

* The ban applied only to the 2,500 copies of TIME's Air Express edition which were printed in Buenos Aires (from photographic negatives flown from the U.S.) for Argentine readers. Unaffected by the ban: 39,000-odd Air Express copies which go to other Latin American republics.
