Ross Advertising Manager EDITORIAL UNITED STATES NEWSPAPERS AND INTER- AMERICAN AFFAIRS Because of the respect in which most of them are held by government officials and the public in general, American newspapers can perform an im- portant service while orienting public opinion. * In view of this uncontestable fact, then, it is easy to see how the press of the United States could accomplish a lot by reorienting the thinking of goy-j ernment officials in Washington toward an all- round, clearer and deeper understanding between the American people and their cousins to the south. Only a short while would be required before the American people would have consolidated their friendship with the peoples of Latin America on sound foundations. In such critical times as the present, the United States has in the twenty vi- gorous nations of Latin America some strong allies —its strongest allies, in fact, anywhere in the world —to help it in staving off any onslaught that might originate from beyond the confines of this hemi- sphere. The American people have been instructed from time immemorial to think of Europe as a paramount factor in the formulation of their foreign policy. At one time such overweaning interest in Europe had a reason for existing, but to go in in the same vein at the present is sheer folly. In order for any radical change in thinking on the part of the Amer- ican people to come about, however, leaders of opinion in the United States must take it upon themselves to reorient that thinking, showing that friendship and cooperation with the Latin American nations is now of dominant importance. The press of the United States would be per- forming a service incapable of measurement if it were to work for closer relations between this country and its Latin American neighbors. This far reaching aim can be accomplished through regular | news sections and on the editorial page, and the time to start is right now. KNOW THY NEIGHBOR By ANTONIO RUIZ |. DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.-Even |:n remote pre-Hispanic times, art jflourtshed in what is today the Dominican Republic. In the Na- tional Museum and in many pri- | vate collections remains of this art may stili be seen. Similarly, one may see examples of 16th. }eentury Spanisi art at the Cathe- |dral of Santo Domingo, in public builoings, and in ‘private collec- tions. Recent years have witnes- sed an important art movement in tae Dominican Republic. Since 1939 its doors have been open to ean refugees. Arts exposi- | ns have been organized not only jin the capital city but in other centers as well. The National Gal lery of Fine Arts was opened in Sant; Domingo a short time ago. Added to the somewhat traditio- {nal paintings by Celeste Wos y Gil |and Yoryi Morei are the more prog-essive works of the following Spanish artists, now Dominican jcitizens: Manolo Pascual, noted seulgtor and Director of the Na- iional School of Fine Arts; Vela Zanetti, mural painter and an ins- tructer in the same institution, and George Hausdorf and Joseph |Gausachs, European painters who \have stimulated the present-day art mevyement in the Dominican Republic. There are two outstand- ing figures in the Dominican art world: the painter Jaime Colson, Fine Arts, and Dario Suro, who has returned home after pursuing his studies ir Mexico. Other not- able Dominican painters and sculp- tors of progressive tendencies are Rafeel Pina Milero, Luis José Al- and Luis Martinez Richiez. In ar- ehitecture, two names which |come to the fore are those of the | architect Miguei A. Hernandez and the engineer Guillermo Gonzalez, who was responsible for the large Jarasva Hotel, on of the most ad- ; vanced functional structures in jthe Dominican capital, -_** a, composite of two traditions: the habived the Island made music ad performed a datice known as the areite, accompanied by primitive percussion instrumens and_ sing- ing, which recounted past events. However, with the practical ex- tin on by the conquerors of the indigenous population, no reco; nizable survival of Indian musi can be distinguished today. Afri- can siaves have left a very deep impression on Dominican music. Continued importations of Euro- near music for social and religious art of music. A Philharmonic So- ciety was organized in 1855. Out- standing compcesers of the second half of the 19th century were Cl domiro Arredondo (Muira), wr: Rodriguez (Arres6n), author of uch widely difierent types of mu- sic as symphonies, choral works, and popular danzas; and Alfredo Maximo Soler who wrote more than three huncred popular com- positions. While composers gener- ally favored Eucopean dance forms jike the waltz mazurka, polka and danza, a few began to popularize vhe Dominican sentimental serena- de, the barcarolo criolla. Pioneers in this movement were Esteban Pena Morell 2 Juan Francisco Garcia. The latter is the leader of ihe present-day national school of composers, The author of well- ‘known symphonies based to large~extent on native themes, he has alse created a new dance-form known as the sambumbia. A young- er. g-oup of composers has been inspired by Garcia. Travelers to thc Spanish colonies during the, 18th century reported seeing performances of the bolero and the fandango, dances brought over from Spain, as well as dances of uamistakable Indian or African origia. For a long time the tumba dominicana a dance emphasizing the nair zather than the group, ‘was popular bui around 1850 it) ‘was supersedea by the merengue | which is recognized today as the | rational dance.

Co:nmenting on persistent ru- {mors that Mexico is about to re- new its diplomatic relations with | Spain following 4 break of almost | Tenty years, the newspaper said {that ‘the policy followed by Me- xico has. been neither consistent | nor just.” The erticle went on to sey that “cultural, commercial and \other types of exchange (betwe- en the two ccuntries) is now great- jer than ever before”. Mexico, which broke off rela- tions with Spain following the vic-) tery of Franco in the Spanish ci- | vil war of 1926-39, is the only American nation still to maintain | diplomati* relations with the Spa- | nish government in‘ exile, | admi LArb ambition to become Peruvian pre- | sident, making people believe that “his candidacy was being support ed by the President (Odria), some- thing without basis in fact.” Raez, who hac been the head of the army’s artiilery forces, said he hed joined the uprising on the orders of Noriega, the communi. vent leaders of the frustrated revolt from taking refuge any of them, Plane flights inside | suspended ‘Tuesday morning, shor- | uy after evidence of an expected armed uprising turned up, though the suspension was lift- Peru were al- EXPORT-I ADDITIONAL MPORT BANK GRANTED $500 MILLION Freer hand and additional sum will permit the bank to continue assisting friendly nations WASHINGTON —(UP)— Pre- nature on a bili which restores “independence” to the Export-Im- port Bank and authorizes an addi- tional $500,000,000 for it to con- tinue its loan making. Passage of the bill is felt to be a victory by those who are in favor of having the bank follow more liberal loan policies in order to strengthen the economies of friendly nations and expand ex- ports from the United States. Up to a certain point the bill restores to the bank the status wh it once enjoyed during the strations of Presidents Roosevelt and Truman when it w: an independent itution opera- ting under the general directives of the nation’s executive depart- ment, The bill provides for a five-man bipartisan board of directors who will manage the bank's operations.

Those who opposed reorganization said that it would reduce the bank to the status of an ordinary egency within the framework of the Trea- sury Department and having little freedom of action. Officials sour- ces admit that Treasury Secretary orge Humphrey has been exer- cising a strong influence over bank operations during the past 18 months.

Each year the bank receives | Jarouud $40,000,000 as _interest end principai payments which are \cubscquently re-invested in new ioans. Bank officials refused to com- ment on possible changes in the institution’s lending policies as result of the new setup. They said that until a new board of direc- ‘ors is named—something expect- ed soon—it is futile to discuss suck a subject and Hawthorne Arey, who up to ;now have been Ederton’s chief assistants, are expected to be jnamed to the new directorate. A probable ckange in the bank’s lending policies involves the con- cession of loans for development | |projects. One ot the main con- troversies surrcunding the bank’s transactions during the past 18 }months has involved the question | as to whether the Export-Import |Bank should make loans only for inancing programs, as implicit in | ‘ts tite, or whether it should also |engage in making development one of the tasks presently | loans, |being assumed by the World | Bank. | The Treasure Department has favored restricting the Ex-Im | Ban activities to loans of purely financial character, while the State purp:ses, together with the travel | post of senator from the provinces | @ measure which was sponsored by | Department and other government of musicians between Spain and | cf Oriente and Camaguey respec-|Sen.

In 1948 he supported the so-| led “Arequipa revolution” which | ‘ted in the present military | regime headed by President Ma- | nuel Odria, and in October of the | same year he personally took part |in forling an unsuccesstul Aprista rebellion in Callao, near Lima. | Noriega was named war minis- ter by President Odria later in the |same month of October, and on | June 1, 1950.

It also issued a decree banning the creation of any new political party, “regardless of its ideology or purposes, until the government calls for the election of a consti- tuent assembly”. The measure includes all Com- -cominated union organiza- ch as the Guatemalan La- ‘onfederation, the National Peasant Confederation, the Rail- | road Workers’ Union, the Teachers Association, the United Fruit Com- | pany Workers’ Union and the Com- pania Agricola Workers’ Union.

Toomey directs PAA’s opera- in Brazis, Uruguay and Ar- g from headquarters in Ric de Janeiro and has been closely identified with the rapid srowth of air transport in the Americas since 1929 when he pi- loted an S-38 Sikorsky amphi- bian on a trail-blazing flight from Bridgeport, Conn. to Bue nos Ail The flight, made with- out radio over territory new to aviation, laid the groundwork for the old New York-Rio and Buenos Aires airline which-a year iater was acquired by Pan American, Toomey, a former U. S. Navy pilot, began his career as a chief pilot in the newly organized Bra- zilian national airline, Panair de Brasil, which has since become PA\’s largest affiliate. His for- mula for success in Brazil from the start was simple and effec- tive—he worked hand in hand with Brazil’s own men of avia- tion. He pioneered many domes- tic airline routes in Brazil and helped to establish a series of airports in that country. In 1932 he made the first official survey flight up the Amazon River lead- ing to inauguration of Panair de Brasil service between Belem and Manaos. This flight won him membership in the New York Explorers club. The Brazilian government later named him knight of the Order of Aeronau- tical Merit. Ai the outbreak ot World War nized PAA’s Afri- ion which sped men and supplies to war fronts in ‘frica and Asia over a 11, 500 mile route. This won him S. Air Traasport Command. In 1944 Toomey was made PAA’s region- al director for Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, and twe yeais later he was named ma- nager of PAA’s Latin American Division with headquarters in iami. He returned to Rio de ‘0 in 1952 as Pan American president in charge of the airlines operations in Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and has ser- ved in that post with distinction ever since.
