Preparing To Reform Basic
Structure OF Argentine Government

The change would merely formal
ize a situation Of DEGREES virtually
re-shaping Argentine economy and
making the president OF the Central
bank the supreme authority or
economic matters.
The third new post to be created
will be a ministry of govern
ment'' taking over the present
ministry of interior and the nation
al police department., as equal rank
ing subordinate divisions. The nat
ional police at present is a Deepen
dency of the ministry of interior.
A fourth new ministry will be
that Of worship (Culto), to deal
with religious matters. Under the
present set up. the ministry Of
foreign affairs also has jurisdict-
ion over all matters pertaining
to religious worship.
Final details of the plan are
yet to be worked out but it is
understood that when completed
it also will break up the present
double-barreled ministry of justice
and public Instruction.. Final dis
position of the two branches has
has not been decided, but it was
considered certain the ministry Of
justice would remain as such,
while public instruction may be
established as a separate ministry
or incorporated in another cabinet
post.

is slated to be absorbed by an
other ministry ard it was under

that it was "almost certain" that

would be dropped"
Outstanding provision of the new
governmental framework would be
the creation of a ministry of nat
ional defense, in a move similar
to President Truman's proposed
Army-Navy merger in the United
States.
The national defense ministry
would be headed by a civilian and
would absorb the war and Navy
ministries and the department OF
aeronautics.
The latter was one of three
departments created under the
previous administration of Presi-
dent Edelmiro Farrell. The other
two were those of industry and
commerce. and labor and social
welfare. The three department
heads had the rank of cabinet min
listers but were called secretaries
because the constitution provides
there shall be only eight MINISTRIES

u. S. Foreign Minister

Ono result of the Truman-Wallace
episode is to elevate Secretary of State
Bvrnes to the position of Foreign Mini
ster as that office is interpreted and
understood in other governments. That
is TO say, he becomes the originator
and arbitor of United States relations
with other countries.
The change marks a sharp departure
from the general policy of the Roose-
welt dynasty during which the Secre-
tary of State was allowed merely to
execute the decisions of the President.
Mr.. Roosevelt was his own Foreign
Minister, just as he kept, in effect, all
Cabinet portfolios under his personal
control.
Whether the change will make for
administration of our foreign policies
must be determined by experience. But
it may be said in Mr.. Byrnes' favor
that his course at the Paris peace con-
ference has been above reproach so
far as this nations stern position to-
ward the Soviet Union is concerned.
Having pursued a policy of appease-
ment toward Russia too long, it is OBJ
vious that only by stiffening our back
AGAINST further entertainments of that
nation, in other words getting tough
with Russia" can there be any hope
of finally reaching peace agreements
that will do justice to all concerned
governments.
There is no reason to assume that
the United States foreign policy, as
we'll as it can be defined today, will
undergo no changes. Changing condi-
lions are bound to require variations
of the present pattern. But, considering
that Mr.. Byrnes has shown himself to
be strong in crises, is it reasonable to
believe that he will not let us down
in final decisions.
Whenever the Russian Foreign Minis
ter is disposed to meet us half way in
establishing world accord, and disabuse
his mind of the fallacy hat the Western
Allies are setting up a separate sphere
of influence, he will find our Foreign
Minister ready to enter the home stretch
neck and neck with him.
All in all it would appear that the
present arrangement has decided ad-
vantages over the Roosevelt system.

Indonesian Massacre
OF Chinese Reported
BY the Assceiotsd Press


BATAVIA, Java, June 5.-Chinese
refugees reaching Batavia today re-
ported a large-scale massacre of
Chinese by Indonesians retreating
from the Tangerang area, 20 miles
west of Batavia.
The Chinese consul general
promptly asked Allied military au-
thorities to send rescue expedition.
1t was reported the massacre oc-
CURED as the Indonesians Withdrew
and Dutch troops occupied the city.
A Chinese-language Batavia paper
said at least 1000 men, women and
children were "butchered."
The Chinese Red Cross here is
preparing to accommodate several
thousand Chinese refugees from
areas west of Tangerang, where the
Tjisadane river separates Dutch and
Indonesian-controlled territories.
A Chinese spokesman said the IN
donesian action might be explained
by resentment over the fact that
many Chinese were serving with
Dutch forces which reoccupied
Tangerang.
