Peron's Press

No dictatorship can survive with free
press. And vice versa-as illustrated by
Argentina's latest move to silence all criti-
cism of government. The Argentine Senate
has added the crowming touch to Dictator
Peron's long campaign against the press
by an act which provides imprisonment
for any one who shows "disrespect" to a
government official; who :. threatens,
insults or in any way offends the dignity
or decorum of public official" The SEN
tences vary with the rank of the official
A little official, little sentence. A big
official, like the President, and it is a
three-year term in the hoosegow for the
editor
It is perhaps pointless to moralize on
this situation, which is merely one of the
things that Argentina has done to put it
self beyond the pale, as far as the prin-
ciples of representative and democratic
government are concerned. John Stuart
Mills said about all that can be said in
the circumstances and he said 1t many
years ago: "A people may prefer free
government; but if from Incidence, or
carelessness, or cowardice, or want of pub
lie spirit, they are unequal to the exertions
necessary for preserving it; If they will
not fight for it when directly attacked; If
they can be deluded by the artifices used
to cheat them out of it; if by momentary
Encouragement, or temporary panic or
fit of enthusiasm for an individual, they
can be induced to lay their liberties at the
feet of even a great man, or trust him
with powers which enable him to subvert
their institutions-in all these cases they
are more or less unfit for liberty"

Germany is provisional and tentative. This
includes the Occupation Statute and the
German regime alike. Both are admittedly
makeshifts, made necessary in default of
a restored and reunited sovereign Germany
integrated into the comfy of nations by a
peace treaty. But the deep split between
East and West, whereof the cleft through
Germany is the symbol, is so profound that
a general German peace settlement may
be long time off and is most unlikely in
the near future.
This means that, in the practical sense,
the West German setup Is not transitory;
that 1t is the start of a partial German
development which may be of relatively
long duration. AS such, it is something
which can and should be made the most of,
alike by Allied and German craftsmanship.
Indeed, the success of this experiment may
go far to determine and to hasten that
broader settlement which is so much to be
desired.

New Era in West Germany

The end Of direct military government
by the three Western occupying powers in
their portion of the former Reich marks
an important step in Western Germanys
postwar evolution. Although Allied mill
tary occupation remains unaltered, it is
divested of all political character, the
foreign troops becoming purely reserve
guardians Of public order and potential
protectors of West Germany. itself from
external aggression Relations between the
occupying powers and the government of
the West German Republic are conducted
by an Allied High Commission-American
British and French. It's duties will be
mainly supervisory, defined by the ,Occu-
fpation Statute drawn up by the Allies and
accepted by the German authorities
This statute reveals the gap which still
separates the Germans from the regaining
OF national sovereignty, The Allies reserve
the fields of foreign affairs, finance and
defense for themselves, together with GER
tain residual powers which can be in
voked in case of difficulties between the
commission and the German regime. And
the French High Commissioner, speaking
on behalf of his colleagues, has replied to
suggestion by Chancellor Adenauer that
the statute will be literally interpreted by
pointingly remarking that the commission
will be guided in its actions by scrupulous
observance of the statutes provisions by
the Germans. This is another way of say
ing that West Germany is on probation,
and that the Germans themselves must
by their conduct justify the grant OF
limited self-government extended to them
by the Western Allies.
Limited though it be, the West Germans
have wide area in which to exercise their
initiative. Conduct of internal affairs is
almost wholly in their hands, together with
the field of trade, foreign as well as domes-

chance to speak for themselves and to

operate with the democratic world on a

East Germans, who remain under the
arbitrary rule of Moscow, with no prospect
of anything much better even though a
facade of self government be set up by
their Soviet masters. a.
