Pressure for German. unification increases;
groups, such as the "Nauhe.im Circle". led by Professor Ulrich Naock. These
groups have long been. exploited by the. Communists and at present their
propaganda line, advocating unity, peace and neutrality, is hardly distinquish-
able from that of the East German Government. The West German Commu-
nist Party, working largely through nationalist groups and Communist front
organizations, is stepping up its effort to capitalize on public apathy and the
somewhat increasing inclination toward neutrality.
Comment: Although Communist-nationalist propa-
ganda has not to date achieved substantial success, all advocates of a uni-
fied Germany will find sympathetic listeners as long as Germany remains
divided. There is a danger that the West. Ge.rmanW, impressed by the appeal
for unification, may find themselves supporting groups that are also working
for other objectives (e.g., neutralization and disarmament) which the West
Germans have not consciously accepted.
The recent East German appeals for German
unity have engendered a resurgence of activity
on the part of West German right-wing nationalist

4, Argentina's President decries neutrality:
country, and that the only position which Argentina could and would take
in the "coming war of survival" is full collaboration with the US and Western
powers. Messersmith pointed out to Perlin that Argentina's "third posi-
tion" confused the Argentine people, and urged an unequivocal stand before
it is too, late. Perlin agreed that the Argentine people do ztot appreciate the
present world situation or its importance to Argentina, and concluded by
saying that he could "hardly find any reasons to differ from what
Messersmith said."
Perlin has told Mr. Messersmith (former STS Am-
bassador to Argentina) that a neutral or half-
hearted attitude brings no benefit or credit to any

Comment: Perdn's strong declaration to Mr.
Me.ssersmith is at variance with his reiteration domestically of the
"third position" during the past six months, and with the current
Peronista press campaign regarding US foreign policy in the Western
Hemisphere and the Far East. It may be noted, however, that in July
1950 Argentine Foreign Minister Paz advised several Argentine diplo-
matic missions that there. should be no further references to Argentina's
international "third position" abroad.
