Cracked Front. Perón had won a victory. He quickly won another. The U.S. State Department was trying to form a united hemisphere front against the regime of Peron's stooge, anti-U.S. Vice President Edelmiro Farrell (who had forcibly replaced President Pedro Ramirez). U.S. Ambassador Norman Armour was instructed to "refrain from entering official relations" with Farrell. British Ambassador David Kelly got the same order.

Troops alerted all over Buenos Aires. At Campo Mayo were 18,000 men who, with the ist and 2nd Infantry Regiments, were ready to strike for the colonels.

Almost certainly "The Colonels" instigated the revolt of Gualberto Villarroel in Bolivia (TIME, Jan. 3., et seq.}. Probably the Argentine junta has plotted similar moves in other countries, will plot again...
...actual strength is unknown; national reactions to outside pressure are always uncertain. But, a total embargo against Argentina might interrupt the happy moneymoon of prosperity, make the present regime intensely unpopular, force Peron from power-unless it infuriated the proud Argentines, turned them still further away from...
