Inter-American News for English- Speaking people 2nd Year She For a better understand ing between the EDITORIAL EVEN THE STRONG CAN AFFORD TO MAKE WISE CONCESSIONS The atmosphere is somewhat clearer today fol- lowing a week-end of tension and expectation in- volving two dynamically opposed ideologies that have been struggling to gain the upper hand in a fight for control for mens’ minds. The taughtness of relations between Washington and Moscow has lessened to a degree now that the American govern- ment has undertaken to revise the list of articles) which can be legally shipped to lron Curtain coun- tries. This embargo on goods considered to be of strategic value has been a touchy point between the United States and the Soviet Union. It involved | conflicting trade and financial interests of the world’s contemporary giants. While making allowances for the fact that the revision came about as the result of British pres- sure, the news in itself is of extreme importance to mankind torn by trials and tribulations and living amidst fears of another cataclyism which could plunge the world into death and destruction. It had become more than evident that two-way trade was! a material impossibility as long one side refused to participate in any transactions of any importance. As we noted above, the cause of the change in policy| can be ascribed to the British who on numerous oc- casions had been actively advocating a lessening of restrictions on trade between East and West, main- taining that peaceful coexistence—something which had been mentioned time and time again by Wash- ington as a practical feasibility—could never come about as long as such trade restrictions remained in force. People no doubt will be saying that Washington has just made another concession in its search for |. genuine peace. They no doubt will also be saying that the resistance of Washington officials has patently weakened. In contrast to this angle of looking at the mat-) ter, however, we feel that it should be interpreted as meaning that the leaders of the Western democracies still have faith in their ability to contain any actual aggression. Concessions don’t necessarily mean weakness. Even the strong at times recognize the need for concessions, while at the same time keeping their basic principles intact from any corruption. A careful reading of the details of the concessions will convince anybody, we feel, that this is the correct interpretation. We would also like to point out that the Western nations have been consistently conscious of one thing throughout the current struggle. This thing to which we refer is their moral responsibility toward mankind as a whole. The embargo will remain in effect on any evports of arms, ammunition, fission- able material and any other article that might enter directly into the manufacture of any war-making weapons. At the same time, civilization is in no danger of disappearing any faster than it would have if the prohibition on bananas, hides, textiles and other such items had remained in effect. The only person who could possibly object to the revised *list of exportable goods would be a diehard of the first water—a short sighted individual incapable of the long range vision required of a true statesman. The inherent strength of the democracies will * continue to remain untouched. If, once this read- justment in world relations has taken place one this sore spot has been removed and once trade starts to flow again unrestricted, the masters of the Kremlin i insist on reverting to their time-honored practice of provocation and aggression, the democracies will have a clear conscience as far as they are concerned. The limit will have been reached and all the con-) ¢¢ fish are caught in this manner. | comitant horror will be at our door step, but justice will be on our side... come what may.

Stroessner, who is 43 years of | age, will serve as president until | August 15, 1956. The following is | the makeup of the new cabinet: | Interior, Tomas Romero Pereira; | foreign affairs, Hipolito Sanchez Guell; treasury, Carlos Velilla; edu- cation, Luis Martinez Miltos; pub- | lic works, Gen.

Vaz instead when the latter started to run to. ward him as do Nascimiento began shooting. Do Nascimiento is being n military police air force base located on Governor's Island in Guanabara Bay, just dpposite Rio. While the investigation conti- nues, newspapers and opposition congressmen havn't let up in their npaign of asking President Var. te resign, pointing out that his stwhile presidential guard ap pears to have been implicated in |the affair. Vargas, who told a na- tionwide audience last Thursday that he intends to complete his term «f office, has shown no ineli- nation to heed the demands for his iesignation since the armed forces made it clear that they v upposed to “extreme measures”. This became even clearer when at a meeting held at the Military Cluh, a motion asking Va sign didnt even come up for a vote. GEN. STROESSNER INAUGURATED AS PARAGUAYAN PRESIDENT He and visiting Pres.
