ARGENTINE REQUEST FOR U.S. HELP TO CLARIFY SITUATION WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (AP) -Argentina's new position in relation to the rest of the Americas probably will be clarified when and if she again applies for lendlease arms and supplies. A request for such aid a is expected as soon as Buenos Aires has completed of her foreign policy yesterday when "shoo severed diplomatic relations with Germany and Japan.

The issue is considered by the Argentinians to be of immense importance because they see themselves suffering as a South American power in relation particularly to Brazil, which as a full-fledged fighting ally of the United States has been receiving arms and equipment since 1941. What Washington's reaction will be, however, probably depend the extent to which the Buenos Aires government has gone by then in cleaning up Axis spy nests, propaganda and revolutionary intrigue within her borders. It probably will depend alupon the need Argentina can show for lend-lease in the intereste of hemispheric defense and the Allied war effort. Brazil. which has received the bulk of the lend-lease material furnished to Latin America, not only is fighting side-by side with the United States and Allied forces in the Western Hemisphere, but began several weeks ago to send an expeditionary force abroad.

The subject of lend-lease help for Argentina last was broached in August, two months after the revolutionary regime of President General Pedro Ramirez seized power, Secretary of State Hull hotly rejected the request at that time both because of Axis activities then permitted in Argentina and because the request was based partly upon the expressed desire of the Ramirez government to restore "equilibrium" in South America, Hull said that "questions of military and naval equilibrium as between American republics are surely inconsistent with the interAmerican doctrine of the peaceful settlement of international disputes."
