Iof a squeeze" appeared early in
1947.
The newsprint shortage. acute
in Argentina as in many other
countries, led to law giving the
government authority to requisi-
ton 10 per cent of the paper sup
ply of newspapers. That move and
later programs for rationing and
distribution created no extraor-
dinary protests because many
economic factors were involved.
Posters urging readers and ad-
vertisers to boycott La Prensa
than began to appear increasingly
in March, 1947. These were signed
by many top men in the Peronista
party.
Vendos Lost in 1947.
A small preview of what devel-
oped last week occurred III 1947.
when the news vendors union un-
successfully demanded discontin-
uance of La Prensa deliveries to
subscribers.
La Prensa made no friends
among the Peronistas when. in
1947, 1t devoted seven columns to
reporting the findings of an AFL
delegation that visited Argentina
to survey trade union conditions.
That report noted very little free
trade unionism." 1t said the
Labor confederation was con-
trolled by Peron people. It alb
solved President Peron of trying
to wipe out unions, but it OBJ
served:
The workers are made to feel
that their chief function is that of
demonstrating gratitude for the
humanitarianism and good will of
President Peron, rather than to
feel that they are gaining benefits
which are their right to possess
and which they might have been
able to win through their own
action without sacrificing their
trade union independence"
President Peron and his follow
erS grew increasingly more vocal
against La Prensa. Here are some
of the laws and other moves Of
ficially recorded and generally ad-
mitted as having been directed
largely at La Prensa and La Ma
cion during the last few years:
An order increasing from 40 to

An act providing for imprison-
ment of any one showing "disre-
spect" for a Government official
or who threatens insults or in
any way offends the dignity and
decorum of a public official"
Pages Limited to IL.
A decree subjecting newsprint
supplies to rationing. An order
limiting the number of pages to
16 in September, 1948, and to II
since March, 1949. That did not
apply to newspaper space devoted
to government news, photographs,
communicates and legal notices.
An order freezing La Prensa
neWsprint and later expropriating
it for distribution, in 1948, among
all newspapers because of the
shortage. In that connection Pres
dent Peron assured La Prensa it
would not be Disseminated
against in allotments of the scarce
paper.
Further orders requisitioning
newsprint and posting of guards
at the La PrenSa warehouse. The
paper contended that the seizures
and ALLEGATIONS, however justified
by any shortage, worked a special
hardship on La Prensa because it
had it's own sources of neWsprint
supply and could have continued
to fill its needs.
Filing of q government suit,
which still hangs over La Prensa,
to collect customs duties on here
tofore duty-free newsprint it had
imported as far back as 1889.
Action by an Argentine congress
sional committee, created origl-
nally to investigate charges of po-
lice brutality, in seizing business
offices of La Prensa as well as the
Associated Press and United Press
in Buenos Aires. The paper and
news services were allowed to op-
crate. but government auditors
went over their books, avowedly
to determine whether those offices
had given money to opposition
candidates in the 1916 presidential
election.

several other opposition papers

Frequent attacks by pro-Peron

enemies of the regime and of
trying to sabotage the nationalistic
spirit.

up may seem to North American
readers, its energy. initiative and
ar-f1ung reportorial enterprise,
as well as its fearless editorials,
make for avid reading in Argen-
tina-even repeatedly among the
Peronistas.
/ La Prensa has prospered, de-
spite increasing majorities given
by Argentine voters to the Peron
party in the 1916 and 1948 elec-
tions that were usually described
as having been reasonably free,
La Prensa also has managed
to hold and even gain ground,
despite official curbs on newsprint,
cuts in the number of pages, COM
pulsory raises in wages, a Gov
ernment-instituted tax suit. sud-
den inspections of everything
from financial records to elevator
shafts. and many lesser moves
in a war of nerves.
In the opinion of some expert
sources here, President Peron as
well as La Prensa may be ION the
spot" in the present situation. The
Argentine President repeatedly is
beset by growing demands by
labor and by the danger of fur
ther upswings in the cost of liv-
ing.
He recently cracked down on
what was officially called a Wild
cat railroad strike. The rail-
roads, as we'll as many other
services and businesses, have been
nationalized for several years. In
this instance. President Peron put
the Government-owne railroads
under military rule and drafted
workers Into civilian service of
national defense"
First Stoppage in 6 Years.
The most uncertain factor in
the La PrenSa picture today, OBJ
servers remarked, is whether
President Peron will back the
union demands to the extent of
forcing a complete shutdown of
the paper, or whether he will stop
short of eliminating it.
The current ork stoppage is
the first in six years. Editorials
criticizing conditions ir Buenos
Aires hospitals prompted mill
tary revolutionary government to
suspend the paper for five days
in 1914.
The Peron government was not
the first to feel the editorial sting
of La Prensa. The publication,
for many years, has criticized ad-
ministrations. The government did
not move Immediately against the
paper after President Peron took
Office in June, 1916.

La Prensa, one of the worlds
great newspapers whose director
Alberto Gainza Paz, visited Wash
tngton last October after receiv-
ing an award for work in the cause
of freedom, may have to go out
Of business in Argentina.
The Buenos Aires daily. re-
nowned internationally for its in
dependence and recognized as the
biggest in its own country, has
been unable to publish since last
Saturday.
The immediate cause was g
walkout by members of the news
paper vendors union. followed two
days later by refusal of the print
ers' union to work. Both unions
are affiliated with the General
Labor Confederation, generally
described by labor leaders in the
United States and elsewhere as
a political arm of the government
of President Juan Peron.
The vendors demanded:
1. That they get 20 per cent OF
all La Prensa's classified adver-
tising receipts as "a contribution
to the social assistance program
of the union.
2. That the company close all
its branch circulation offices.
8. That the paper stop it's mail

its total circulation of 100000
daily and $4,000 Sundays.
Four Years of Harassment.
Mr.. Gainza Paz, grandson of the
man who founded the paper in
1869, makes no secret of his belief
that this latest trouble transcends
any mere labor dispute. He looks
at it as the latest in a four-year
record of harassment by the
Peronistas to rid Argentina of the
main journalistic thorn in their
side.
Washington residents who have
wide knowledge of affairs in
Argentina believe the threat to
La Prensa is the most serious in
its history.
But some said today that, while
the paper may be caught in the
middle of economic and social
issues even broader than its polit-
ical opposition to the Peron gov
ernment. it may yet pull through
the crisis.
President Peron, they specu-
lated, may not want La Prensa
to fold, no matter how eagerly
he may want it clipped and con-
fined. He has repeatedly pointed
to the existence of La Prensa, as
well as that of another major
liberal newspaper. La Nacion. as
proof that Argentina allows a
free press. Suppression, direct or
indirect, could lead to foreign
repercussions that would do Pres
ident Peron no good. especially
at this time, observers commented
Moreover, according to that
view, the silencing of La Prensa
could cause an unfavorable reac-
ton in Argentina.

its circulation and is the richest
publication in that country. Its
