Neutrality (1942)
In June-July 1942, Moreno completed a work on Argentina’s neutrality in the European conflict. The country was ruled by the “Concordance” coalition, which maintained the practices of “patriotic fraud”. Thanks to this, in 1938, the Ortiz-Castillo formula had been established, which remained faithful to
British imperialism. In this work, Moreno pointed out that this neutrality was not due to the government’s rapprochement with the Nazi-Fascists but to its ties with British imperialism, which thus supplied itself with raw materials without incurring debt to the Americans, its competitors, and without running the risk of seeing its fleet attacked by the Führer’s ships. Argentina’s neutrality was in Britain’s interest.
