In honor of the South American statesman, who epresents an authentic democracy, the pride of America and the political culture of the world, the government and the people of the United States are demonstrating their affection for Uruguay, for that nation which adds so much, through its republican institutions, to the prestige of the entire continent. Luis Battle Berres is receiving in this country the testimony of respect and regard that his person merits, both for his intellectual achievements as well as for his qualities as a private citizen and the high official post which he holds. To preside over the National Government Coun- cil of Uruguay is undeniably a significant and sin- gular honor, which is even more appreciated after study of the institutional formula adopted by the Uruguayan people; a formula which, within the re- publican system, although this does not mean that it is the only one, represents the purest realization Fo KNOW THY NEIGHBOR By ANTONIO RUIZ | URUGUAY — The social Ae | vances achieved in Uruguay are re- markable, and for that reason the | country has been justly called the | re better understanding 1 4 between the Americas MIAMI, FLA., TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1955 For Liberty, Culture and Hemispheric Solidarity Member Inter American Press Association NUMBER 130 Statue to San Martin Unveiled in Caracas Beautiful park dedicated by Venezuela to hero of Argentine CARACAS, Venezuela.

The park, which bears the name of the Argentine hero, is an ex- tension of San Martin Avenue. important artery of communica- tions between the southern and western sections of the city. The avenue, widened in an ex- tension of 1963 meters making it 18 meters wide, is lined with trees and is crossed by Moran, O’Higgins and Guzman avenues, facilitating of the ideal, above all if the circumstances and the ins of all its citizens. Nevertheless, | traffic in an ample zone environment so permits, such as is the case of Uru-| guay. This visit of the illustrious Latin American statesman wll be very advantageous to inter-Ameri- can relatjéns. From it general advantages will be derived,at least of a moral aspect, for the Americas, | and spfcial benefits for better understanding bet- y e people and the governments of the United states and Uruguay. A THE AMERICAS DAILY, in commenting editorially on the visit of Batlle Berres to the United States, by official invitation of the Washington government, takes advantage of this opportunity to render homage to the noble country of Uruguay, and voice sincere hopes that the presence of the dis- tinguished Latin American statesman in this country will be to the benefit of the high and permanent in- terests of hemispheric solidarity, interpreted in its many multiple aspects of reciprocal rights and obli- gations, resulting from the singular inter-depen- dence that exists between the American republics. Holland Impressed by Progress in Latin America in Past Year “Human and natural resources there will satisfy economic goals”, he declares WASHINGTON —(UP)— _ As- sistant Secretary of State for Latin presentatives of our government, them consecrated and capable re- | American Affairs, Henry F. Hol- land, has said that the human and natural resources of the South American countries that he visited are the best guarantee that the na- tions will satisfy their economic goals. During the 16 day trip to South America Holland and his party visited Argentina, Peru, Chile, Bo- livia, Ecuador and Colombia. In statements to the press Hol- land said he was impressed with the’ progress achieved by those six countries in the last 14 months. The Assistant Secretary delivered a written statement to the reporters and also answered the questions put to him. In the written statement, Hol- land and his party say: “We are filled with a profound recognition of the sincere good- will with which we were received wherever he went. We will never forget the many attentions offer- ed. us by the officials with which we dealt nor the smiles of the handshakes of the people.” “Fourteen months ago, several us had the privilege of visiting each of those six countries. We are pro- foundly impressed with the pro- gen achieved in those months. The problems that we saw are in it part the fruit of the great evelopment in Latin America. -And they are attacked courageous- - ly and with determination. ““The people of our sister re- ,publies, no more and no less than ours, are becoming every day more convinced that in this hemisphere our destinies are alike. Their gov- ernments, like ours, struggle to in- tensify healthy cooperation in the fields of common effort.” ¢ “finally, we want to express our thanks to our ambassadors, to the heads of our military and techni- cal missions and to their person- el. Without exception we found sincerely determined that their ef- forts shall contribute to the well- | being of the people of the Ameri- eas and the peace of our hemi- | sphere.” | When the reporters asked for more details about the trip, Hol land described it is a study mis- sion, “Our trip was aimed at giving the representatives of our department who are responsible for our efforts in the economic field the oppor- tunity to gather direct informa- tion and to identify the problems ‘that ment the attention and the study of our government,” Holland ‘said, and added: “In each capital we had long, frank and constructive talks with |the representatives of the other | governments, Each of us returns convinced that the human and na- tural resources we saw in, each country, constitute the best pos- sible guarantee for the achieve- |ment of the economic goals of their people.” The other members of the re- cently returned party included: Samuel C. Waugh President of the Export Import Bank Major Gen- eral Robert W. Douglass, of the U, S. Air Force, representative of the U. S. to the Inter-American Defense Board; Rollin S, Atwood, interim President of the Institute for Inter American Affairs, who is in charge of the technical coopera- tion programs with the other Ame- rican governments; Jack C.

Pharmacies are inspected regularly. Pasteurization of milk is |required in most localities; consi- derable attention is given to in- dustrial hygiene.

Some of the important institu-) tions operating in the field of pub- | lic health are the National Institute of Hygiene, the Medical School, | the. National Institute of ._Endocri- | nology, the National Institute of Nutrition, and the Mariné Hospital| devoted to tuberculosis research. Even before winning her inde- pendence, Uruguay adopted a for- ward-looking system of education. Preliminary legislation passed dur- ing the struggle for independence was followed by the enactment in 1827 of the first public education |law. ‘Most far-reaching of urugua- | yan cultural achievements was the Reforma Escolar (School Reform) of Pedro José Varela. Convinced that the spread of learning among the people is the basis of true de- mocracy, Varela devoted his life to making public education a na- tional cause. His proposed law was passed in 1877, centralizing the country’s schools. All branches of jlearning, including rural educa- tion, were encouraged; schools and libraries were built; modern curri- cula stressing scientific, humanis- tic, and practical training were in- troduced; and primary education | was extended and made compulso- iry. By making public education free, obligatory and democratic, Varela’s Reform raised the gen- eral level of culture. Illiteracy, ac- cording to the latest available cen- sus figures, is only ten percent in Uruguay as a whole, and there is almost none in Montevideo, the capital, Spanish Version Page 3, “LA PRENSA” TO CLOSE 8 DAYS BUENOS AIRES—(UP)— The Labor and Social Welfare Ministry announced today on behalf of the EPASA, the Peronista publishers of La Prensa that the newspaper | will be closed down for eight days. | The announcement said the clos- ure probably will date from to- morrow for purposes of an official inventory and return of the news- paper to the family of Dr. Alberto Gainza Pag, : race 0 4a: ARs RIKER g partment; Colonel Thomas B.
