Extract

The September 25, 1978, issue of the Wall Street Journal carried a four-page advertisement on Argentina that reveals the expertise of a public relations firm. Propaganda pieces entitled "Politic? for Investment in Argentine Industries" and "Argentina: an Economic Overview" in the form of "articles" are interspersed with regular ads, giving the reader the impression of four pages of ordinary copy. While the advertisement itself is relatively trivial, it acquires significance because the arguments it advances are obviously those that the present regime would like to present to the U.S. and other countries. It is the item called "On the Question of Human Rights" that draws the special attention of Amnesty International and others well informed on this subject in today's Argentina.
