BUENOS AIRES (AP) — This should be one of the richest small nations in the world. Yet today Argentina is almost bankrupt.
Its Internal government deficit for 1938 was around ^ billion pesos -- 835 million dollars. The government has flooded the country with unbacked printing press pesos to pay salaries. The cot of living has gone up 1,500 per cent in 15 years—35 per cent in eight months.
The tragedy is that this need not have happened. Argentina is not a one-product nation. There is enough oil in the ground to make Argentina a big producer. There, are coal fields, iron ore, enough of almost all the basic mineral needed] — bu. undeveloped.
“Twenty years ago this country was a paradise.’’ you hear often.
What happened: How did the country, instead of realizing its tremendous potential, slip toward financial ruin?
Much, but not all, of Argentina’s troubles can be traced to ex-Dictator Juan Peron,
Perhaps the worst thing Peron did was to foster the idea that a persons does not have to work hard, or do a good job, to earn his bread and butter.
There are many hard working Argentines but the mass of people, spoon-fed by Peron policies which won him the workers’ allegiance, are reluctant to give a day’s work for a day’s pay.
Labor laws still on the books make it almost impossible to Are a completely incompetent man. Peron Instigated the still popular measure of decreeing nationwide wage increases. This forced private firms to raise salaries regardless of workers’ abilities.
The dictator provided that striking workers would be pató for all the days they missed white on strike.
Government employes and their dependents make up a third of the population. This bureaucracy stifles the economy.
Peron tried to swing Argentina

Peron encouraged the riiktlonal-ist spU*lt which causes Latin nations to Mtempt mammoth tasks without needed technical aid from outside. Argentina’s stateiowned oil monopoly in 50 years has been unable to jdevelop proven reseiryes.
