Argentine People
Know Their Rights
On Free Speech
By Alberto Goinzo Poz
Editor of La Prensa

The Argentine people know
that a sacrifice of principle to
momentary material or politi-
cal convenience always has
proved to be prejudicial if not
indeed disastrous. The Ar
gentine people are fully con-
scious of their rights to have
truthful and complete infor-
nation about events inside or
outside the country. and to
read the newspaper Of their
own choice.
This inherent right Of all
free men in the world has
made La Prensa the news
paper it is. thanks to the sup
port of a free people, who be-
lieve in the principles La
Prensa has upheld since its
founding. the same principles
that have made my country
great.
I have the conviction that
Argentines will never give up
those rights or relinquish
those principles and that
La Prensa must reappear,
strengthened by the support
of a people who love liberty
and condemn injustice.
Evening star., 1951-04-01

carries work permit card.) The
government claims ".there is nc
appropriate bureau" for renewing
the work permits-which means
that all newspapermen now are
working Illegally, and may with
out cause be forbidden to work.
In addition. some La Prensa
workers live in government hous-
ing projects. Their hold on such
housing in crowded Buenos Aires
is at the governments whim.
Out of a total working force of
1.700, all but a handful of La
Prensa employees have signed a
petition to the government, seek
ing the right to return to work.
They finally demonstrated their
loyalty to La Prensa, and to free
dom. by the great march on. the
printing plant February q of this
year. 1t was not. literally a march
since such demonstrations would
be illegal under the present gov
ernment of Argentina. Instead
they went in small groups and
sought to enter the plant. They
were met by armed Peronista
brigades, and Is of the La Prensa
workers were wounded, one fatally
Police Seize 500 in Plant
But the workers did gain en-
trance to the plant. La Prensa
was prepared to publish once
more, after a month of silence
Peronista police then entered the
plant and arrested 500 workers,
who were held overnight without
charges. long enough to prevent
publication of the newspaper. The
next day the plant was guarded
by the police, and now the whole
newspaper has been taken over,
under the guise of a congressional
investigation.
What Peronista congressional
committees hope to find is evil
dence that La Prensa was a "tool
lof foreign interests" either wall
Street" or white House."
La Prensa personnel. from Mr..
Gainza Paz on down, are perfectly
confident that the congressman
will not succeed in finding such
Ieyidence, for they assert there is
none. This, however. does not
mean that evidence cannot be
manufactured, as when, at the
first police seizure of the plant
a police official leaned down over
| a wastebaSket, so his movements
could not be seen, and came up
holding a revolver he had found
there.
Peron police may be expected
to spend much more time at such
tasks than in the rounding up
Iof the gunmen who shot La
Prensa workers. One of the gum
men, who had exhausted his am
