Col. Peron

Washington, June 80 - (U.P0 =
The State Department made public
last night its summary of a 19-day-
old speech by Colonel Juan D.
Peron, Argentine Minister of War,
IN which he called upon Argentina
to dedicate all her resources to
national defense because hope for
uninterrupted peace after this war
is a mirage"
At the same time an "authorita-
tive source" made available a writ
ten statement analyzing the context
of Peron's speech. That source said
Peron had tried to establish:
That there would be no essential
difference, so far as Argentine in
terests are concerned, between a
victory by the United Nations.
THAT all attempts at lasting
peace or an established information
al order are foredoomed to failure
and that international anarchy will
again reign at the close of the pres
ent war. Discord may even origin
ate at the peace table.
That only a vigorous diplomacy
backed by military might can gain
for Argentina its Legitimate aspira-
tions.
THAT a totalitarian state with
authority over every phase Of the
nations life is the only possible
solution for Argentina's needs"

able tailoring before it comfortably
fits the stocky shoulders OF Dwight

Intimate friends of the Supreme
Commander tell you that the pros

must come when Allied armies

discomforting to Eisenhower. They
say he is disturbed by the realiza-
ton that he no longer can walk
down a street without attracting a
great deal of attention, or enter a
restaurant without creating a small
furore.
The general by nature is most
informal. The contrast between him
and the stiffly military Prussians Is
remarkable. Typical of this was the
instance told by an ensign on a de-
stroyer that twice carried the SUI
preme commander to France.
