Peron Bidding

Aims to Hold Balance

Between U. S., Russia

By WALLACE R. DEUEL Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, D. C,, July 2.— Argentine Dictator Juan Domingo Peron is planning a bold bid for world power, according to reports reaching Washington. Dictator Peron's bid will take the form of an attempt to build up and lead a bloc of Latin nations strong enough to hold the balance between he U. 8. and ussia, these reports

The dictator dreams of a blce which would include France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, as well as most of Latin America, it is believed, Such a bloc could always make Washington and Moscow heed its wishes, President Peron calculates, it is understood. The bloc, could do this by threatening to take sides against whichever government refused to toe the line. One Way to Step War The Argentine dictator plans to base his appeal for leadership of such a bloc by offering the following general argument, it is reported: “The world is threatened with a new war, because of a split between eapitalist America and Communist Russia.” “This split is hopeless, - The U. 8. and the Soviets have proved they can't heal it. “Therefore, there is only one way to prevent war: The nations which are not committed to either side must get together and act as a unit in the arena of world politics. “Argentina is the natural leader of these nations. “It is too strong and too far| away for either the U, 8. or Russia to be able to dominate it—as recent events have shown: “Also, Argentina stands for a new way of life, different from and better than American capitalism and Soviet communism.”
