SAYS L. 5. WAS TRICKED
Peron declared that the state
department haG been tricked by
"ill-intentioned people" who, he
said, furnished it with an erroneous
summary that changed the entire
meaning OF his speech.
The authentic text of my lecture
has been mutilated to such an ex-
treme as 10 totally alter its concep-
tons" he said at a special press
conference.
"As I cannot believe nor accept
that the department of state could
be made tool of misinterpretation. .
he added, Il believe it was supplied
by an ill-intentioned source, there
by giving the department of state
a false basis which led TO the error
resulting in such an unpleasant
episode
SUMMARY ISSUED
The summary issued oy the state
department quoted Peron as saying
that hope of avoiding future wars
was ''utopian" and that the idea of
uninterrupted peace and true social
justice among the nations of the
world was mirage"
An analysis of the speech, issued
by an authoritative source" in
Washington in conjunction with the
state department summary, held
that Percn triec to establish the
premise that a totdlicarian s5ate is
the only possible solution for Ar
gertina's problems.
Peron indicated that his govern
ment considers the entire matter
/ closed, and it was understood that
an Official translation of his re-

5 REASONS FOR INCREASING
YOUR WAR BOND PURCHASES

I. The tempo of this war is hitting its
highest point. Government expenditures
for war are at the peak. MORE MONEY
Is NEEDED -. NOW!
2. In proportion to WHO HAS THE MOST
MONEY, individuals are not buying their
share of War Bonds, America must COR
rect this situation.
3. War Bonds provide the farmer and
rancher with the financial reserve he mus
have to survive the ordinary ups and
downs of farming as business.
4. Money will be needed urgently at a
future date to replace and repair farm
equipment, machinery. and buildings.
War Bonds will provide it.
5. War Bonds are the safest investment
in the world, return a good rate of
interest, are easy and convenient to buy

War Bonds savings mean more to the average

they form financial reserve indispensable for the
