in their own words, workers for
industry and fighters for the
Soviet Army"
Soviet import needs rise with
the population. Besides much
machinery which they are still
unable to manufacture, they have
to import rubber, wool, tea, coffee
and other foodstuffs and minerals.
Their agriculture. however, is I'M
able to supply them with large
exportable surplus to pay for these
imports.
Therefore. as the industrial pop
ulation, which has trebled since
1928, is far more easily regimented
than the farmers, and as she is
we'll supplied with iron and coal,
Russia is attempting to become a
large-scale exporter of heavy in
dustrial products. Signs of this
change were evident in the late
'30s, when the Russians began to
sell manufactured goods and ce-
ment in exchange for hides, wool,
cattle and fruit in Persia, Mon
golia and other Eastern markets
where Western industry did not
seriously compete.
Pistol Point Dealing
In those countries, as in the
Balkans. agricultural products
were cheap, in spite of inefficient
production, because of low wages.
RuSSia's long-term interests, and
those of the world, would be served
by a change in her economic pol
icy. She still needs to modernize
her agriculture. This would en-
tail not only investing more in it,
but also giving the peasants more
time for leisure and working their
allotments, and more incentives to
increase production, since agri-
cultural work cannot in most
cases be controlled on the factory
system. Such measures would in
volve, at present. a reduction in
army and and state expenditure.
Stain evidently prefers, how
ever, to maintain his present eco
nomic structure and to solve his
country's economic problems at
the expense of the satellite states.
The postwar situation has given
him an area in which he can die
tate commercial policy, and Coun-
Gil for Mutual Economic Assis-
ance is the organ of that dictation.
When it was first formed the
CMEA aroused considerable en-
thusiasm in Eastern Europe, since
it was hoped that it might lead
to the long overdue removal of
illogical tariff barriers. But the
working of CMEA and the Molotov
Plan in practice is now leading to
growing political and economic
resistance.
The use by Stain of Hitler's
method of economic negotiation
at pistol-point is resulting in a
distorted economic development of
Eastern Europe and arousing,
slowly but surely. the same
resistance.

Peron's Regime Weothers Economic Turbulence

exporters and permit United States
companies to take out some of
their earnings.
Although Peron had once de-
clared that he would "cut off his
right hand" before he would bor-
row money from the Yankees" a
loan of nearly $125, 100000 from
the Export Import Bank was final
ly arranged.
Meantime, locally, other signifi-
cant moves were made to improve
the economic situation. The Ar
gentine peso was devalued. Opin-
ion is divided on the prospects of
this measure. One economist sums
it up by saying that the present
international situation prompted
the move. ut was felt necessary, Z"
he says, ito bring in many needed
articles, manufactures and raw
materials which may become
scarce or rise in price on account
of the war. They think it will
bring in new foreign investments.
Most of the economists agree that
in spite of all these financial and
economic concessions and the
proffered inducements to foreign
money and foreign capital, the
economic picture will not greatly
improve until the political situa-
ton is relieved. Frightened Ar
gentine money is not likely to flow
back soon, nor new investments
come in, until there is more assur-
ance that arbitrary laws will be
dispensed with.
There is the law governing dis
respect for authority" No one is
permitted free criticism of the
personalities in government, either
of the Perons themselves or of
other high officials. Even con-
gressmen have been jailed. others
deported or otherwise run out of
the country because of their crit
icism of officials.
In the last few weeks a new
anti-espionage and sabotage law
has been rushed through the Con-
gress. While designed to deal
with spies, saboteurs and others
during the present world emer-
gency. it will nevertheless govern
almost every possible thought and
expression of opinion, as well as
every action of an Argentine citi-
zen. There can be no effective
opposition to anything that the
regime wishes to do.
Now comes the question of the
political future of the present
leaders. The next presidential
election is scheduled for 1852. AS
with all strong leaders, the Perons
will be urged to perpetuate them
selves even if they do not wish to
do so.
If the elections were held to-
morrow. they would poll the over
whelming majority of the votes.

West Must Act Fast to Keep From Losing Iran

same time sneering at talk Of
Anglo-American help.
The No. / fact of political
life in Iran is that a power
full neighbor is poised on the
country's northern border.
Thus there is at all times a
strong incentive ito get along"
with the Soviet Union.
Whether this desire to "get
along" will lead to the road of
appeasement and eventual So
Wet control depends on events
in the next few months, West
ern diplomats here believe.
One American diplomat with
five years experience in Iran
described Razmara, a stanch
Communist. as "the coun-
try's last hope" Already jealous
political opponents have begun
to intrigue against Razmara.
OF course. there is always the
constant possibility of a Rus
sian invasion of Iran. But most
informed people here, Iranians
as Welt as Western diplomats,
think an outright invasion is
unlikely, unless Russia embarks
on a full-scale world war.
For the last five years the
Russians have been using much
cheaper and far less risky tao
tics. BY merely keeping troops
on the border. and making al
Tentatively threatening and con-
ciliatory gestures, they have in

poor, the afflicted and less fortu-
nate, receive from her gifts of
money, medical attention and per-
sonal help.
There is no gainsaying that the
working classes, from the factory
worker to the farm laborer, are
eminently better off than ever be-
fore in their history. Their wages
have doubled and trebled, not to
say skyrocketed, in the past three
or four years. While the cost of
living has risen, it has not kept
pace with the rise in wages. They
have been given bread along with
an ample number of circuses.
The women - mothers, cooks,
maids, charwomen and all the
others-look upon the bountiful
and indefatigable sonora and take
heart. Her humble beginnings
and meteoric rise to such great
heights inspires them to believe
that they could rise also.
Economically the Perons were
fortunate in that they came to
power when there was plenty of
money in the treasury with which
to launch and establish their ex-
pertinent. A billion dollar surplus
had piled up at home and abroad
during World War II. Nationalism
was their watchword. They ap-
pealed to the pride of the public
in making the nation ''independ-
ent." economically as we'll as po-
litically. They spent millions buy
ing up foreign-owned properties
such as railroads, steamships. tele-
phone companies and other utili-
ties.
Other vast sums were doubt
lessly squandered, wasted by in
experienced, and even profteering
administrators like the former eco
nomic car, Miguel Miranda, and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1950-09-24

others. They attempted to estab-
lish new enterprises of every de-
scription.
Unfortunately, most of these
schemes and projects did not work
out. 1t is impossible to transform
an agricultural and pastoral ma
ton into a highly industrial
economy overnight.
Arbitrary controls of agriculture
and stock-raising caused farmers
and ranchers to cut down produc-
ton. Many cattle herds were de-
pleted, even sold off or otherwise
neglected. Farmers cut down on
their acreage of wheat and corn.
Things went from bad to worse
until bankruptcy peered over the
horizon.
Acted With Courage

In an attempt to improve trade
relations he even sent a mission
to Washington-actually made
trade overtures to the United
States. After long negotiations,
concessions were made with the
hope of boosting exports. Arbi-
trary export taxes on various Ar
gentine products were removed,
particularly on canned meats, wool
and hides which we normally buy
from Argentina. Agreements were
made to decrease debts to our

even as Straw-boSSeS unless they
agree to work.
It will be noted that, as in all
armies, officers get the breaks:
I'm order to assure service in
officers camps, soldiers of the
same army who are prisoners of
war and, wherever possible, who
speak the same language, shall be
assigned thereto, in sufficient
numbers, considering the rank of
the officers and persons of equiva-
lent status"
Kim may find himself pulled
out for such a detail. But other
wise, his campmates will be en-
listed men, because the conven-
ton diScourages mixing officers
and men in the same camps.
Assuming that Kim stays in an
enlisted camp and is chosen for
routine work details, there are
certain restrictions on the jobs for
which he can be used. He may be
sent to do some types of civilian
labor, but if he gets hurt, he is
entitled to workmen's compensa-
ton.
But Kim may not "be employed
at labors for which he is physi-
cally unfit Corr at unhealth-
full or dangerous work" Further
more
Labor furnished by prisoners
Of war shall have no direct rela-
ton with war operations. It is
especially prohibited to use pris-
oners for manufacturing and
transporting arms or munitions
of any kind, or for transporting
material intended for combatant
units"
But what about pay for the
work he does?
If Kim works around the area,
he shall not receive wages for
work connected with the admin
istration, management and main
tenance of the camps" Pay for
other work is supposed to be
agreed on by the belligerents, but
in the absence of such agree
ments, the POW must be paid at
the rate established for soldiers
of equal rank in the OBTAINING
powers army. But if the pay of
an American Pfc. exceeds that of
North Korean Pfc. Gas it does !,
Kim will get only the North Ko-
rean pay.
To speak Of pay" perhaps gives
the impression of weekly pay
check. This is not quite the case.
Kim's pay comes to him in the
form of credits, and he may draw
certain amounts from his account
to buy post exchange supplies, etc.
These credits are "cashed in" at
wars end.
Under the letter of the treaty
Kim leads a reasonably uncompli-
Gated life. Probably it's most I'M

one-the lack of liberty. AS long
as he behaves himself he will eat
regularly and heartily, have an
opportunity to exercise, get to

In a good many respects, Kim

TEdRAN, Iran. - Americas
patchwork barrier against the
spread of communism is bulg-
ing under Russian pressure on
ancient Iran.
Western diplomats here think
the next year will be decisive:
Either the frail barrier will be
bolstered by United States eco
nomic and military aid, or it
will break down to give the
Soviets influence or outright
control over Trans rich oil re-
sources and a gateway to the
Indian Ocean.
Communist aggression in Ko-
rea has caused uneasy specula-
ton as to whether Iran will be
next to get the Kremlin's at
tention.
Right now the odds look good
for the West in Iran, better
known by its historic name of
Persia. But it's going to take
more than good-intentioned
words of friendship and SYM
pathy to keep nervous Iranians
in the anti-Soviet camp.
Reds Have Audience
Russian propaganda has been
getting a receptive ear from
some Iranians who complain
that American economic help
hasn't got past the talking
stage in the last five years.
These same Iranians overlook
the fact that they have largely
themselves to blame for lack of
United States aid in the past.
Until this summer Iran has
had such inefficient govern
ments that the United States
State Department declined to
recommend expenditure Of
