PRO-FASCIST DEMONSTRATIONS
OUTRAGES IN ARGENTINA (Rec. 8 a.m.) NEW YORK, Aug. 17. in shameful episodes of organised violence, 200 soldiers last evening flourished bayonets and other weapons and terrorised the city's centre, says the 'New York Times ' Buenos Aires correspondent. They were commanded by non-commissioned officers. The soldiers committed scandalous outrages, killing two citizens and wounding many others who refused to, take off their hats when the soldiers cried, " Long live Peron."
The soldiers repeatedly cheered Hitler and Mussolini, and cried. "Down with democracy! Death to the Jews." [Colonel Juan Peron is at present Vice-President of Argentina and is one of the leaders of the military group which seized power in 1944. He is generally regarded as being the strong man behind the President, General E. J. Fan-fill.]
