SMITH Vice President THY NEIGHBOR By ANTONIO RUIZ HAITI —The mountain behind Port-au-! since, called some times the Haitian Alps, are cool, inviting haven, enveloping in their wooded recesses little hotels and inns where the visitor may want to spend a week, a month, or a life- time. In any case, it is worth while to reserve a part of one day for the scenic 50-mile motor trip which takes you through the su- burb of Petionville, to the peak of Boutilier, with its magnificent view, on up the mountians to the resorts of La Boula, Kenscoff, Fruey, and the plateau of La De- couverte at an altitude of 5,500 | feet above sea level. During the drive up the winding road to Pe- tionville, one can admire nature in all its glory. Although at first, perhaps, it is difficult to believe your own eyes, the masses of scar- let blooms which line the roadside are actually poinsettias, which grow wild. They are at their best | from October to February. Above | the velvet-textured verdure of palms, tamarind, juniper and breadfruit trees, towers the majes- tic, flamboyant, tall as an oak tree, ablaze with crimson blossoms. Known only as the poinciana, it is at its best in June. Thatch-roofed native cailles are tucked into hill- sides, with mango and papaya trees clustering about them. It is a mar- vel to watch the remendous bas- kets full of fruit and vegetables, skillfully balanced atop the heads of the peasant women who move grecefully along the road on their way to the markets of Port-au- Prinee. A French poet, struck by Petionville’s superb geographical setting, described it as “the town at the foot of the mountains, with its head crowned with flowers like a lovely, coquettish maiden who dreams of love by the side of the | high road”. But scenery is not the only attraction of this resort town | named for the founder of the Republic. The Cabane Choucoune (choucoune being the word for a typical Haitian belle), is the coun- try’s most famous nightclub, and a favorite Saturday night rendez- vous for Port-au-Prince society, The sumptuous estate Manoir des Lauriers (residence of former president Lescot) is one ~* the show places of the town. IN ADDITION to Petionville’s charming inns and pensions, there are two new hotels in the hills. One is named, intriguingly, the Ibe Lélé (pronounced Eebo ‘ay- lay) for the Voodoo god of the forests. Its manager and host par excellence is none other than the North American photographer-glo- be-trotter André Roosevelt. This genial bon vivant, who is highly AN ACT OF JUSTICE FOR THE AMERICAS AND FOR ARGENTINA Since the first day when we commented editor- ially on the fall of the dictatorship of General Peron, we expressed the opinion that one of the first steps that should be taken in Argentina is the return of “La Prensa” to its legitimate owner. Now that democratic normality has returned to that great nation: now that the right to property and freedom of the press has been again established, the new government, recently established. should see to it that “La Prensa” is returned to its owner, from whom President Peron arbitrarily took it away with complete disregard for the most elemental principles of dignity. That would constitute an act of justice both for Argentina and the Americas because that great newspaper, great among the greatest of the civilized world, was a part of the cultural patrimony of the Argentine nation and was the pride of the hemi- spheric press. Argentina and America Jost a great institution when the dictatorship converted La uPrensa”, by threat and violence, inte a servile instrument of the personal and political interests of General Peron. Proof that the new government is guided by salutory and noble aims would be that immediately, the newspaper which once was his be returned to its noble and illustrious owner and editor, Dr. Al- pberto Gainza Paz, the newspaper that for its gallant reptblican convictions was snatehed from him under | demagoguic pretensions and by physical violence, by him who for ten years ‘orded over Argentina as_ if the nation of San Martin were a vassal at his service. Of great moral significance—of great interna- tional importance—would be the gesture of the new provisional government of Argentina, headed by General Lonardi, if they went immediately ahead with plans to return “La Prensa” to its legitimate | owner. For the solution of the important and pressing Argentine problems it is necessary that an institu- tion such as that paper continue to exist, a news- paper whose efficiency and decorum has we ‘he admiration of Europe and our continent.

Forty-five miles from the capital, up the twisting mountain road above Petionville, is the year- round resort of Kenscoff, at an al- titude of 4,500 feet. Deep pine forests add variety to the landscape of this natural health resort. The ruins of old forts are emindes lof past battles. Beyond Kenscoff is ‘urey, another resort of isame type. Arriving at the plateau lof La Découverte a few miles dis- tant one can see why this mount- lainous region is called the Haitian Alps. To the east rises the cloud- flecked range of La Selle; below lare the cool, wooded mountains; and to the south stretches the shim- mering blue of the Caribbean. Spanish Version Page 3.
