the name of "El Supremo" dictator whose cruel reign over a humble people crushed a blossoming democracy but saved the nation a century ago Today Paraguay turns again to dictatorship in the pattern of

a dismal village on the mud flats of the Plata river and Rio de Janeiro not even on the map Asuncion was a world capital center of an inland empire where Jesuits ruled benevolently over orange groves yerba mate plantations and happy villages where Guarani women wove lace from the product of the cotton fields Established in 1535 the city was known in the salons of Paris and Madrid long before the first colonists set foot in what is now the United States s hub of one of the fairest of Spaiifs colonies in the new world But after it with most other South American countries of today won its freedom of Spain at the turn of the nineteenth century it was the first to succumb to dictatorship Francia’ First Dictator Its first dictator “El Supremo" was Jose Rodriguez Francia and he ruled from
