Argentines speak out
The Falkland Islands situation is a colo
nialist one. It is not an oil problem; it is a
sovereignty problem, a problem felt deeply
by all Argentina's population.
Before Argentina's independence from
Spain, the country suffered two invasions
from England, one in 1806 and one in
1807. The English occupied our capital,
Buenos Aires, and our people and the sol
diers fought them and ended the aggres
sion. Between the 1816 independence and
1833, Argentina named governors in the
Falkland Islands. In 1833, the British in
vaded the islands, put officials in prison
and sent all the population to the conti
nent. England installed a government in the
islands and also a colonial wool company.
In 1840 and 1848, the English Navy block
aded the way to Argentina.
Argentina has made claim to the Falk
lands for 70 years. The Argentine and Eng
lish governments have considered the situ
ation without solution. England has been
delaying its responses and different possi
bilities. Since 1972, Argentina has made regular
flights between the islands and the contini
nent. People from our Air Force have been
established for communication. Our coun
try supplies gas to the inhabitants; 800 me
ters of land strip were built, which allow
mail and freight services..
Argentina has offered different oppor
tunities without being successful: exchange
of students, construction of houses with
special loans, installation of schools by lan
guage, banks, the Fishing Institute, the Ob
servation Oceanografic Institute, the Ar
gentine Automobile Association Office,
telephone by satellite and meat processing
plants.
Argentina is a pool of nationalities. It is
a melted population of Spanish, Italian,
German, English and many other nation
alities. In Argentina, there are 17,000 English
citizens and many families with two or
three generations from England. They have
clubs, schools and organizations. They have
businesses, farms and other activities.
At this moment, the feeling in Argenti
na about the islands is unanimous; all the
parties and organizations of different ori
entation and ideas agree with the action.
They got together in every city, in every
town, the day the army recaptured the is
lands. It was a really popular, national hol
iday. Like many other people, we are very
surprised about the European Common
Market decision against Argentina, because
when other problems occurred, such as Af
ghanistan and Poland, nothing happened.
We as Argentines feel we need to speak
out, because the press is not always impar
tial. Argentina is not an imperialist country.
We helped to liberate other countries from
colonialism - Chile, Peru and others. If we
get the islands, colonialism is finished in
South America.

U.S. support needed
The United States should lend greater
moral support to Great Britain, our staun
chest ally and friend, in the Falkland Is
lands crisis.
There can be little doubt that the Brit
ish position is far superior. The Falklands
were discovered by England in 1592 and
settled later by British, French and Span
ish colonists. In 1770, Spain bought out
the French and drove out the British. After
an armed clash between the United States
and Argentina over whaling rights, Britain
reclaimed the islands in 1833 and has go
verned them ever since.
Argentina's demanding the Falklands
on a shaky pre-1830s claim would be like
Mexico's demanding Texas or Argentina's
returning its land to the Indians.
Since the founding of the United Na
tions, territorial disputes are supposed to
have been settled by arbitration, not armed
aggression. Argentina's invasion is a direct
violation of the U.N. charter. Argentina al
so has chosen to ignore the U.N. Security
Council's demand that they withdraw. This
behavior cannot be tolerated.
Furthermore, the islands' inhabitants,
who are fiercely British, have voted over
whelmingly to remain under British govern
ment. The motivation for this vote is ob
vious: Argentina is governed by one of the
most repressive regimes in the world.
Amnesty International estimates the
ruling military junta has 15,000 political
prisoners and engages in torture and exe
cutions. The one thing which is non-negotiable
is liberty, a commodity offered to
the Falklanders only by Great Britain.
The United States should continue shut
tle diplomacy by emphasizing to Argentina
that they must remove its forces. The Uni
ted States should follow the European
community's example of halting arms ex
ports to Argentina and consider further ec
onomic sanctions if diplomacy falters. Mili
tarily, the United States should stay out;
Great Britain has the might and determi
nation to enforce its position. However,
the United States should make it clear that
no interference from the Soviet Union will
be tolerated.
Since World War I, Great Britain and the
United States have had a "special relation
ship." We share similar cultural and politi
cal ideologies. Great Britain is a strong mili
tary ally and loyal friend. Britain backed us
fully in the Afghanistan and Iranian situa
tions at considerable cost. Britain also con
sistently supports the United States in the
United Nations. The United States should
remember who its few firm friends are,
support self-determination and denounce
military aggression.
