They overlook the vast area

escape.
They admire our industrial
organization but not our
politics. foreign. or domestic,
and the latter few of them
understand. They feel some

sentative government is Cor
ought to be- like the British.
They don't understand the
enormous power Of the Sem
ate. or the lack of party dis
cipline. or the separation OF
the powers of the executive
from the legislative.
They think we oversimplify
everything, particularly for
eign affairs; that we decry
Imperialism while energeti-
cally extending American
power and lauding the Amer
lean century: they find us
sentimental rather than
idealistic.
And-what makes it harder
they know they must stick
together with us, at least as
far as possible.
Many of the mutual criti-
cisms are justified.
I don't think the postwar
British-American honeymoon

British interests and problems
are by no means identical.
Neither are the American
and British temperaments.

Some Of the countries

has set up a pressure for
higher wages, and this in

Six generals and an undis-
closed number of other military
men active during Juan Peron's
regime were reported under ar
rest today on charges of plotting
against Argentina's anti-Peron
government.
Saporiti, an independent pri-

raids that began several days
ago and continued early today.
1t said all those seized were
forced into retirement after
Peron was overthrown in Sep

There was no confirmation OF
the report. which said the gov

largely responsible for the recent
