Dewey'S vote went down on every

increased his total gradually, but
the highest he got was an the fifth

pressure and perfectly organized

Follows Russion Pottern
Far from being "a program mid
way between capitalism and COM
munism," Peronism in practice al
ready apes the program of the Rus
slams. About the only fundamental
differences remaining between Jus
ticialism" as conceived and directed
by the Peronistas in Argentina and
communism is that the Argentine
ruler has not yet confiscated all pri-
vately-owned lands and other pri-
vate properties, and it has not at
tempted to destroy the church and
set up his own religious body, or Or
ganization. He has not hesitated to
crack the whip over the Catholic
church. which in Argentina is the
state church, when its leaders have
dared to differ with him in political
matters.
1t is easy to understand how the
Argentine masses have come to &C
cept "PeroniSm." They have been
the beneficiaries of it. They have
seen their wages raised to four or
five times what they were a few
years ago. They have seen manage
ment compelled to grant long vaca-
tions with pay. Their jobs are guar
anteed. They cannot be fired with
out being paid huge indemnities.
The prices of food and other nee
esSitieS have gone up sharply in
the last few months, but nothing
to compare with wages. They find
shortages Of meat, butter and bread
in the markets and stores, but the
controlled press and radio blame
this on the 'capitalistic farmers,
cattle raisers and manufacturers
who are deliberately trying to sabo-
tage the new freedom"
There need be no surprise if Die
tator Peron now proceeds to inten-
sify if not put into practice the most
extreme tenets of his philosophy.
Those who predict that he cannot
survive another IL months of di-
minishing food supplies. declining
crop and cattle production and ris-
ing imitation such as the nation has
experienced in the. last six months,
may well be guessing wrong again.

Supporters of Gen. Eisenhower for
President are studying roll calls Of
previous national conventions to see
whether the supreme commander OF
the Atlantic pact armies can keep
Senator Taft of Ohio from winning
the Republican nomination on an
early ballot.
They are also digging into the his
tory books to see how long an un-
willing or passive candidate can wait
before saying publicly and positively
that he will accept the nomination if
rendered.
The presidential years receiving
the most attention from political OBJ
servers are 1912, when Woodrow VIII
son got the nomination after Champ
Clark of Missouri had the votes of
more than a half the delegates, and
1910 when Taft and Gov. Dewey of
New York led in the early voting
only to see an energetic political new
conner. Wendell Willkie. carry off the
party standard.
On the point of political available
ity, precedents most applicable to
Gen. Eisenhower are Charles Evans
Hughes nomination in 1916, when
the former New York Governor was
an associate justice of the Supreme
Court: and Alton B. ParkerS Selec-
tion in 1904. when Parker was chief
justice of the New York Court of
Appeals. Both judges, because of
their determination to keep the courts
out of politics, refused to become
active candidates for the nomination.
Gen. Eisenhower has refused to an
nounce any political choice while in
uniform.
Should Eisenhower announce that
he is not a candidate. there is the
precedent of Horatio Seymour, for
mer Governor of New York, who
was nominated by the Democrats in
1868 on the 22d ballot after he had
pleaded with the convention not to
name him. This remarkable man
came within 100000 votes of de-
feating Gen. Grant; some historians
assert he would have come much
closer if the Southern States had
been permitted full voting rights.
Doubt loft Support
Eisenhower advocates regard as so
much bandwagon ballyhoo the claim
of the Taft managers that he al
ready has 800 delegates lined up for
his nomination. Taft merely pre-
diets he will win on an "early" ballot.
A bare majority of the | 200 dele.
gates is required for the selection.
No one can say at this time how
the Republican delegates are likely
to divide at Chicago next July.

fear from the armed forces at the

It is further evident that he in

old land owners. the once highly re-
spected middle classes, as well as the
proprietors of business and industry
in general-to accept the Peronista
theology, which he is pleased to call

cording to his own definition, "justi-

We have Perons own words, as
well as those of Evita, that "the
program of Peronism must go on"
and "Peronism." or "justicialism." :"
or "the third position" is just as
violently opposed to capitalism, or
private enterprise and private own

enmity toward "the wealthy and the
privileged classes" In her book she
declares that "the present social
order, like the capitalistic and
bourgeois classes that foster it. is a
dying institution anyway, and we
shall not have to wait long for its
end"

Southern Members Ousted
The Civil War was the cause of
the greatest number of Withdrawals
and expulsions from the Senate. The
first group to 60 included Senators
jefferson Davis and Albert G. Brown
of Mississippi, Stephen r. Mallory
and David L. Yulee of Florida, c. c.
Clay and Benjamin Fitzpatrick of
Alabama, Robert ToombS of Georgia
and Judah P. BENJAMIN. The Senate
adopted a resolution to take these
Senators off the rolls, they having
voluntarily withdrawn. That was on
March IA, 1861. But by July, the
temper of the Senate had changed,
and resolution calling for the "ex-
pulsion" of the Virginia Senators,
James M. Mason and Robert M.
Hunter; the North Carolina Senators,
Thomas L. Clingman and Thomas
Bragg; Senator James Chestnut, jr..

from Arkansas, William K. Sebas-
tian and Charles B. Mitchell, and
the Senators from Texas, John
Henphill and Lewis T. Wingfall, was
adopted by vote of 80 to 10-more
than the necessary two thirds.
There were other expulsions at
this time of Senators from States
which did not secede. John c. Breck-
enridge of Kentucky was expelled
because he had "joired the enemies
of his country" Trusten Polk of Mis-
souri, was thrown out of the Senate
January IL, 1852, because he was
"n6w a traitor to his country" and

had spoken favorably of the seeding
States, at first, but then had sided
with the Union. The Senate refused
ta expel him-the voting being II,
