Clarinda, the violently anti-Semitic, anti-American and pro-Nazi Argentine magazine, which has been on the United States blacklist since last October, is once more receiving substantial indirect support from the Castillo government, it is indicated in the May issue of the publication which was received here today.
The Argentine petroleum trust and several government-controlled national and municipal banks have large advertisements in Clarinda this month – the only advertisements that the magazine carries. It seems obvious that without the income from these advertisements, the publication could not support itself. The Castillo administration withdrew its advertisements from Clarinda about year ago, after strong protests from most of the countries in the Americas. Their reappearance at this time would seem to indicate that Argentina is still throwing in its lot with the Axis, despite the recent reverses suffered by the fascists in North Africa.
The May issue of Clarinda, which is nearly twice its usual size, contains vicious anti-Jewish articles, editorials and cartoons. Most of the cartoons are signed “Mata Jacoibos,” which means “Kill the Jews.” There is also much anti-American and anti-British material. In the past, Argentine anti-Semites have paraded up and down the main streets of Buenos Aires during rush hours carrying the cartoons and slogans from Clarinda on placards, provoking protests by members of the Jewish community there.
