WASHINGTON. Sept. l6.-The
South American dictators who late
ly have been losing their jobs, seem
TO be men who have lost touch with
their national armies.
When a dictator loses his grip
on the army, he is virtually sunk.
At least. he is in no position TO
weather a storm. Dictator Juan
Vicente Gomez Of Venezuela keen
~ appreciates that. He is prob-
ably more cordially hated than any
other Latin-American dictator has
been, but Juan Vicente lets other
men be presidents for him while he
remains as commander-in-chief Of
the Venezuelan army and 50 keeps
control Of the country.
The strong men, In emergencies
seem to turn out to be generals.
Plutarco Gales. who became preSi-
dent and established a strong gov
erpment and today. with his mill
tary influence and hold on the
army. is the power behind the ex-
isting government Nobody hears
much about a possible revolution
in Mexico at this time. because
Gales has such an excellent repu-
tation for putting them down.
Chilean Government Strong
General Carlos Ibanez is preSi-
dent of Chile. another military pro-
duct. His government believes in
putting down opposition firmly and
effectively. but IL does not give the
impression of a one-man show as
have the administrations Of Augusta
Leguia and Hipolito Irigoyen. the
deposed presidents OF Peru and Ar
gentina. The Chilean government
appears to have the cooperation
and support Of military leaders. in
t~ellectuals and both Chilean and
foreign business men. 1t would ap-
pear that Chile has a government
as likely to stand through the pres
ent general economic depression as
any In Latin-America. but the col

FEAR ITALY To

War With Giant Greek Syn

New Factor.

b. United Press
DEAUVILLE, France, Aug. IS
Italy appears as a possibly impor-
tant factor today in the gambling
war between French and Greeks.
The French government raised its
gambling taxes and caused the
Greek syndicate to quit playing BAG
carat, and II was reported Italy con-
sidered granting bacarat conces-
sions to attract the rich gamblers
across her own borders.
Leaving Italy out of consideration,
the baccarat battle had drifted out
wardly into an endurance test be-
tween the French government and
Greek gamblers.
And while a French tax inspector
tried to explain to the Greeks that
his government only was enforcing
parliament's decision to boost the
cut on baccarat banks, high stake
playing dwindled to almost nothing.
It was understood that the gov
eminent. already worried by its
loss in baccarat revenue, is alarmed
by the possibility of Italy stepping
in and robbing the French casinos
Of their millionaire patrons.
