Britain Again Asks United States to Join CENTO
(,Britain has renewed its efforts to persuade the United
States to accept full membership in the Central Treaty Or-
ganization (CENTO). Speaking to Secretary Herter in New
York on 18 September, Foreign Secretary Lloyd expressed
concern that CENTO--formerly the Baghdad Pact--would
collapse. He cited Pakistani and Turkish worries and as-
serted that full US membership would give the pact an im-
portant psychological boost.)
(London's worries center on the problem of Iran as the
only CENTO member not also belonging to another Western
security organization. Foreign Office Deputy Under Secre-
tary Sir Roger Stevens, a former ambassador to Tehran,
recently said he feared that Iran might go neutralist if the
Shah does not receive the material and moral support he
deems necessary.,)
(In connection with the 7-9 October CENTO ministerial
council meetings in Washington, London may press some of
its other recent ideas for giving CENTO an appearance of
greater vitality. These include setting up a CENTO air com-
mand, initiating CENTO contingency planning against USSR-
incited aggression from Afghanistan or Iraq, and
ing a NATO-like annual review procedure to emp
establish-
hasize bal-
ance in economic and military capabilities.)

Peronistas and Communists Call General Strike in Argentina
(Argentine Economy Minister Alsogaray has denounced the
joint Peronista-Communist call for a general strike on 23 and
24 September as an effort to sabotage economic recovery. He
said he would take stern countermeasures to safeguard the public
interest and security. The government is reported prepared to
arrest a number of key labor leaders prior to the strike in order
to discourage widespread support. Such action is legally pos-
sible under state-of-siege regulations, and the army commander
in chief reportedly favors firm measures against subversive
strikes.)
The collaboration of the Peronistas and Communists is in
accordance with their 24 August pact for united action against
austerity measures under the US-backed stabilization program.
The two groups had already cooperated in earlier strikes and
in June had publicly announced their intention to coordinate strike
action)
(The government, also concerned over possible Peronista-
Communist cooperation in the congressional elections next March,
is preparing a case to be used as a basis for suspending t:e legal
status of the Communist party. Although Frondizi in April ,s-
sued a decree banning Communist political activity, implement-
ix legislation is lacking, and the Communists participated in sev-
eral subsequent. provincial elections.
