COMMUNISTS WATCHING THE
ARGENTINEA
SITUATION
By Douglas Clark
Buenos Aires, July 9,
The attitude of the Communists to today's political scene in the Argentine is causing observers here to recall a comment by a Latin American statesman a few years ago that the danger of "Peronismo” lay not so much in the former Argentine dictator's neo-Fascism itself but in the fact that it might pave the way for Communist penetration into the very heart of Latin America.
