BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 19.-The
Argentine stock market looked to
the Peron government today for

over the nations economic posi-
ton.
The nation is faced with a serious
shortage of dollars and other
foreign exchange. In the three
years since the war, it spent more
than a billion dollars of the
accumulated credits of 81. .722 ,000,-
900 it once had on the books
abroad.
Peron Takes Drastic Steps.
President Juan D. Peron has
taken some drastic steps in the
last month as this picture of a
weakened world trading position
became clear. He fired Miguel
Miranda. his economic czar, and
reorganized the National Eco
nomic Council. Tight restrictions
we're claniped on imports to con-
serve the dwindling dollar reserves
for essentials. Much of Gen
Peron's priced five-year industri-
alization plan was abandoned.
AS a result of a typographical
union strike, which has caused
suspension of newspaper publica-
ton here since February 7. rumors
have been rampant. Most Of these
have proved false, but many have
been reflected in the nervous re-
action of the stock market.
Gen. Peron took a slap at some
of these rumors in a radio talk
last night, especially a report that
he would seek a foreign loan, pos
sibly from the United States
to bolster Argentina's economic
plight.
Gen. Feron termed this rumor-
that he is going to deliver the
country to foreigners untrue
He said it would be funny if it
were not "grotesque."
He mentioned, too, that one OF
his aides even told him of one
