AGREEMENT

| New Role For PERON CHANGES HIS MIND Record

Is Envisaged

Washington, Aug. 31.

American officials said today they hope that Japan eventually will be able to send troops abroad to help maintain the security of Asia and the Pacific.

They said this would be the logical result of an agreement between Japanese Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles that Japan should "as rapidly as possible assume primary responsibility for the defence of its homeland and to be able to contribute to the preservation of international peace and security in the Western Pacific."

This agreement was disclosed in a joint com- munique released at the end of Mr Shigemitsu's three-day series of conferences here with Secretary Dulles and other American officials.

The communique also report, would give Japan

Buenos Aires, Aug. 31.

Argentine President Juan Peron tonight can- celled his announced decision to step down as chief of state, The President, spoke from the balcony of the Government Palace before tens of thousands of sup- porters demonstrating to urge him to remain in office.

Peron indicated the Government would carry out "repression" against "subversive activities" and sald the people should take "action" and should conduct a "fight against violence".

Ile declared: "Our exaggerated tolérance elves us the right today to act violently and as of now we have established a per- manent line of conduct for our movement: Anyone who seeks to disturb order against the constituted authorities may be killed by any Argentinian."

Peron said: "This line of conduct, which all Peronists must follow, is directed not only against those who carry out sub- version but also those who conspire.”—Franco-Presse.
