ARGENTINA: Peron Speaks Up

States, British and Dutch companies.
Packers and oilmen had feared they
might be marked for eventual nation
aliZation.
Foreign Fears
Foreign governments have objected
not so much at the principle of ex-
preparation but at the method of pay
ment specified in Article 40 of the
new Argentine constitution.
That article says the appropriation
price shall be the original investment
minus all profits made during the
company's existence over and above
a reasonable profit" Some foreign
investors feared this meant they
might have to pay for the privilege
of being appropriated.
Peron tried to reassure foreign
business interests last week by declar-
ing each case would require an en-
abling act of Congress and he did not
propose to take unfair advantage of
anyone.
The Peron speech, while made to
Congress, undoubtedly was aimed at
attention in the United States. It had
been claimed in Buenos Aires that
the US. State Departments obiec-
tions to Article 40 constituted one of
the principal barriers in negotiations
for improving Argentine-American
trade
President Peron told Congress Ar
gentina and Chile are capable of de-
Tending their claims in the Antarctic
The only other claim Argentina rec
ognizeS in the Antarctic region is that
of Chile, he said.
Lay OFF the Beef
Later in the week, Peron scoldec
his people for eating too much meat
Argentines, he said, are the world.
greatest meat eaters, and eat so much
that one out of every four has livel
trouble.
His dietary experts estimate the
average Argentine eats 240 pounds O.
meat year and BuenoS Aires citi.
zens swallow nearly 365 pounds
year. The average annual meat con.
sumption in the United States in 194t
was 162 pounds per capita.
President Peron wants his peopl
to limit their meat consumption t,
$50 pounds q year.
If the new dietary campaign is sue
cessful, Argentina will soon have
greater eXportable surplus of mea
for Britain and other countries.

At Minneapolis before conference
of bankers of the Ninth Federal Re-
serve District, Secretary of the Treas
ury Snyder forecast that some of
Europe's Marshall Plan countries may
have to make their goods cheaper to
American buyers before 1852 by low
ering their exchange rates.
That year is when American recov-
cry aid is due to end.
Snyder said that the u. S., in turn,
must try to take more imports from
European countries. Reducing trade
barriers through international agree
mentS is part of our contribution to
solution of the problem" he said.
Snyder noted that the exchange
rates prevailing today were, for the
most part, adopted during and just
after the war. Since then, he said,
there have been important changes in
the world situation. ... ,. -.-. =.
European countries might gain ex-
ira dollars by attracting American in

successful, the special risks involved

alition. But FIVE amendments, which
would have retained some of the Taft
act curbs, failed to pull away from
the coalition sufficient votes of the
middle -the-road Southerners and
Republicans.
Crushing Defeat
It was the most crushing defeat for
the Truman program thus far in the
8lst Congress. Members turned cold
shoulder to a personal appeal by
Speaker. Sam Rayburn (D-Tex) for
''the great thinking middle of the
House" to support the compromise.
The Administration compromise
was defeated I'll votes to 1873.
Instead the coalition passed sub
stitute bill introduced by Rep. John
Wood (D-Ga) which would repeal
the Hartley law and then re-
enact most of its major provisions.
These would include the use of in
functions lin national emergency"
strikes, the Communist affidavit,
bans on secondary boycotts, jurisdic-
tional strikes, the closed shop and
union political contributions.

Labor had been pressing for repeal
Of the III law and revival of the New
Deal Wagner Act.
Repeal Of the Taft-Hartley law was
one of the basic; points in President
Truman's political campaign last fall

Both Congress. 1t would appear one
campaign pledge the present Congress
will not carry out for Mr.. Truman.
