Forbidden Truth

Buenos Aires' nationalist, snide Tribuna, long accustomed to reporting Colonel Juan Domingo Peron's triumphs in Argentina, published evidence of the Colonel's expanding popularity abroad. Its correspondent reported:

"I have seen . . . workers parading along the streets and shouting, 'We want an American Peron!' . . . Charcoal or chalk signs reading 'Hurrah Peron' and 'Up Peron' are a common sight.

"But here . . . they do not suppress demonstrations with harmless tear gas; shooting does the trick. Many a man remains lying on the streets, but not even as a joke does one read any reference to these events. . . . Newspapers are forbidden to report the truth. . . .

"If Peron wins ... the U.S. will face a sort of proletarian revolution, because [in the U.S.] the social achievements of our future president are well known, admired and applauded."
