Argentina Revisited

Argentine Dictator Juan Peron has long had a simple answer to foreign publications that report unfavorable news about him and his administration: he banned them. Six years ago he banned TIME from Argentina, followed up by gradually banning 15 other U.S. magazines- and, this year, the New York Times. This week, in another move to patch up strained relations with the U.S., Peron changed front. As part of his program to present a friendlier face to the U.S., the post office "unofficially" announced that the banned U.S. periodicals will be allowed to enter Argentina again. (The ban on the New York Times was lifted early last month.) This week the first banned magazines were shipped into Argentina. Nevertheless. U.S. publishers still did not know whether Peron would permit them to take the money from sales out of Argentina; for most of the time before the ban, publishers were forced either to leave their money in Argentina or exchange pesos for dollars at undercut rates.
