Anti-Semitic elements in Argentina were strengthened this week by the appointment of Gen. Orlando Peluffo to the post of Foreign Minister.
Gen. Peluffo is pronouncedly anti-Semitic. As commander of the Third Division, stationed in the province of Entre Rios, he was largely responsible for the anti-Jewish measures there, where many Jewish colonies are situated. He is reported to be the most blatantly pro-Axis of the high-ranking officers of the Argentine Army and is said to be convinced even today of an eventual German victory.
