I1UI3NOS AIRES Oct. 9. (Corres-
pondence Associated Press). Twelve
men uavo declined tho offer to cct as
Argentine Mlntstprl to .Great .Dntalii
since the post was vacated 4wo years
ago. Friend of tho men who navel
refused tho post have said that there
refusals were duo to a reluctance to
assume the diplomatic representation
nt I-ondon undor this country's pres-
ent policy of strict neutrality.
Tho vacancy In this post has been
particularly embarrassing to Presi-
dent Irlgoyqn because of his Inability
to find a truly representative citizen
to accept the mission under his pres-
ent international policy.
A recent visit of the Ilrltlah Minis
ter Sir Reginald T 'Tower to the
capital of the Province of Uuenos
Aires at the Invitation of the provin-
cial governor and that Oxchaugo of
speeches that rebutted therefrom have
brought to u.;mad ugaln the problem
or tins republic's diplomatic repre
sentatlon iu England.
Dr. Jose Crotto. the governor of
the province of Buenos Aires welcom-
ed the Ilritlsh minister in a speech
that perhaps was the frankest and
most cordial avowal of the allied
cause that has been made by Argen-
tine since the war began. He has
since received thousands of letters and
telegrams congratulating hint many
of these going so far as to say that
bis expressions were what hud been
hoped for from the president and re
gretting that the governor represents
only the so-called Queen Province and
not the entire nation
This Incident has caused so much
comment among Argentine political
circles exclusive of the foreign col-
onies that friends of President frig-
oyen who are doing everything possi-
ble to help him In his administration
are urging upon him the necessity of
appointing Immediately a minister to
the legation in Loudon In order that
Argentina may occupy a more favora-
ble position In Allied diplomatic cir
cles
