A GREAT SURPRISE

Two radicals spoke for the Opposition and two Peronistas for the Government in the short debate before the passage of the bill.

Peralta said that "this year of 1955 produced a surprise for us the infiltration into the people's organisation of elerical elements. Peronism has no religious problem, nor does it oblige anyone to confess this or that faith ...

"We were machinegunned with more fury than if the country had been in the hands of the enemy. We heeded our leader when on July & he called for pacification and we kept the truce for two months while the Opposition broke it." "The state of siege will last as long as the adversarles want it.
