POLICY IN ARGENTINE
GESTAPO & CONCILIATION CAMPS IN CHARGE OF NOTORIOUS QFFICER. CHARGES BY AMERICAN CORRESPONDENT. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) NEW YORK, November 8. General Ramirez, President of Argentina, has created a national Himmler, says the New York “HeraldTribune’s” Santiago correspondent, quoting travellers to Chile from Bue•nos Aires. Ramirez has given his personal aide, Senor Leopoldo Lugones, charge of a new political police force, with thousands of picked detectives as the nucleus of a nation-wide Gestapo, which has already raided without warrants the homes of unionists, Jews and foreigners, some of whom are sent to a concentration camp in Patagonia. Lugones, who is answerable only to Ramirez, is notorious for torturing political prisoners. He was discharged from the control of a reformatory for torturing boys. Well-informed officials say that Lugones’s police are also operating against the United Nations intelligence services.
