The late Government was a stooge of Argentina, The new Government if we play our cards well will be a firm friend the United States. was common acceptance of the principle of "multilateral collective intervention to protect essential human rights and to insure fulfillment of a nation's international obligations." Had this been accepted, the American republics could have given Senor Peron two months to fulfill his anti-Fascist, pro-United Nations promises and had he failed, tossed him out.

Unhappily, the Pan-American Union Committee, instead of supporting collective intervention, recommended the study of a resolution that "any intervention for whatever reason in the internal or external affairs of another state, is inadmissible." This resolution not only is out-mcded. It is almost certainly a violation of the United Nations' Charter which empowers the Security Council to Intervene whenever necessary to prevent war. If accepted, it will mean that no effective Pan-American regional organization in the Western Hemisphere can be created. Some timid or interested citizens are arguing that, in view of Peron's latest move in palling up with Stalin, Washington had better make up to the Argentine Mussolini. A Decisive Weapon.

Nothing could be more stupid. That all over Latin America Fascists and Communists are making common front against U. S. alleged imperialism should be a cause not for despondency but for rejoicing in the United States. For even if collective American intervention be excluded, the United States possesses in the Braden version of the Hull policy a decisive weapon.

This is what mfght be called "negative Inter-vention. While abstaining from any interference in the affairs of any Those misguided Americans who toy with the idea of appeasing Argentina or admitting Argentina to an inter-American defense system before insistine on the ful fillment of Argentine promises, ought to try to pet one simple fact in their heads once and for all: Tou can't do business with Gen, TSenito excuse me, with Gen. Juan Domingo Peron. He is utterly untrustworthy. He lies as often as he sneer.es and with the insouciance.

In his relations with his own people (not to speak of the United States) Peron has so systematically prevaricated that anyone who advocates putting faith in him should be Riven a legal guardian by the state. How Peron Has Lied. The Argentine "Jefe's" career is entirely constructed on deceit Adolf Hitler's. He has lied consistently concerning his relations to the Axis powers and agents. He has consistently duped his own adherents.

He started his career with the support of conservatives and moneyed agrarians. Then he ditched these for a half-hoodlum labor movement. Peron'j most profitable lie to date was his verbal acceptance of the Mexico City decisions as the price of being permitted entrance into the United Nations. Once admitted, fc; orgot to pay. He now says that he needed the consent of his "Congress." Congress, my eye.

Considering that this dictator has deprived his Congress of all real power, this is just another piece of deceit. Peron next lied about the amount of wheat that Argentina would generously contribute at a whopping price to the relief of a famished world. UNRRA is trying to hush the default up. The truth is, Argentina has reneged on about half its undertaking. For a Stiff U.S.

Policy. Eefore discussing hemispheric defense with Peron, we should remember that his aim is to get arms, not to defend but to conquer or intimidate his neighbors. Which means that, so far from abandoning, the United States should push the Roosevelt-Hull policy of thwarting the Argentine Mussolini with redoubled vigor. During the war. we might easily have eliminated this gentleman as pro-Axis agent This chance is over.

With yictory, the other American republics have fallen back on their traditional distrust of Uncle Sam. The Pan-American Union has just decided against a wise Uruguayan proposal.

Picture SII IT is impossible not to register a deep sense of relief that the British loan is through Congress, and that we shall hear no more, at any rate for the present, about the sins of England from professional Anglophobes, like that somewhat shrill lady.

Representative Jessie Sumner of Illinois. LADIES Watch for Our Sale Announcement In Sunday's Post-Dispatch Catherine 4914 MARYLAND (8) mam mm WEE American republic, the United States has the means to offer or withhold support from these countries. Thus under the Braden plan, real democracies like Cuba, Colombia, Costa Rica and Uruguay would receive strong positive support. Friendly states like Mexico, Brazil, Chile, and perhaps Bo livia, would obtain immediate ben efits. Offensive dictatorships like those of Argentina, Paraguay and Santo Domingo would be left to stew in their own meager juices.

The United States could make sure that other outside countries did not supply the black sheep of the American Continent with aids to aggression. The real Argentine problem is not Juan Peron. It is the ability of the American people to realize that you cannot do business with the Perons. J. LASKI a Breathing Spell they were in June, 1938.

But one must not look at those figures with any sense that they indicate safety. For, partly, they represent the fact that goods generally are in such short supply everywhere that consumers will take almost everything they are offered. Partly they represent the fact that American attention is very largely concerned with domestic markets where an Increasing flow of goods is essential if inflation is to be prevented. And partly they represent that the war, for the time being, has stricken some of the chief British competitors in Europe Into what is virtually industrial impotence. What Britain Needs.

To this, moreover, must be added the fact that, granted the scale in which British investments abroad had to be sold to countries in the war, export on a far higher scale than those figures will be necessary to maintain our own standard of life. More than that, to achieve that level of export de gree which we need, new machin ery, improvement of industrial organization and, not least, better technology and better far better statesmanship are things that can never long be absent from the mind of any citizen concerned with public affairs. All this is vital enough. But the real problems are going to begin when some sort of new life is breathed into the half-dead body of industrial Europe and when the United States begins its own drive to capture markets abroad. A part of the price for the loan that we have paid it is a heavy price although, I think, in balance and one worth paying is our surrender of our main safeguard against American competition.

Stark Alternatives. The Bretton Woods agreements mean an end to the sterling bloc. It gives American business access to markets we might have domi nated through the existence, as with India, of great sterling bal ances in London which, without the loan, would have been spent on the purchase of British goods. An industrial community in the British position must export or perish. These are stark alterna tives and nothing is gained by a refusal to contemplate the implications of that starkness.

I think myself that everything depends on whether the United States takes a long-term view or a short-term view about the use of its economic power in the next two or three decades. IW pk SWT wans SUITS to Jane Wyman Although, as is well there are acute divisions in Britain over the wisdom of accepting the loan on the terms it involved, there is no division over the fact that once the British Cabinet and the United States Treasury had agreed to it, passage was a matter of quite vital importance in the psychology of international relations. An Evil Thing. The loan was important to the people of this country. Had it rejected, there would have been a widespread conviction, sharpened by the necessity of an ven deeper austerity than is now our lot, that Congress had made Anglo-American relations, the victim of its guesses about the outcome of the November elections.

That would have been a wholly evil thing, no less evil because there would hav been many people here ready to exploit its defeat as a means of provoking that 'ugliest of all fanaticisms, anti- Semitic prejudice. Dr. Stephen Wise and his colleagues did a real service to international good will by their telegram asking that the tissue of the loan be disassociated i from any view of the present grave events in Palestine. That vas an attitude of high magnanimity and I hope it will persuade Prime Minister Attlee and his colleagues to approach the women- 1 tous decision they must presently jtake in a spirit not less generous. British Exports Rise.

But the passage of the loan i was, I venture to think, important i to the United States, too. Had it been defeated, many Americans would have had a sense of frus- I tration. the kind of frustration that is so often rationalized into indignation against its victims. As it is, within a month or so every one except William Randolph Hearst and CoL Robert McCor-mick will have forgotten most of the fantastic things that were said in the course of the several de bates. And thinking people will have begun to reflect on what is likely to be the international economic situation in something like five years from now.

For the loan is not the solution of any problem. It is, more than anything, the pur chase of time in which to think. It offers certain elbow room. It would be unwise to argue that it does more. No doubt it is encouraging to know that British exports in June, Starring in NIGHT AND DAY, A Warner DRESSES bradticafiij.
