DOES NOT WANT WAR For a better understanding | Nicaraguan Journalist Honored Rodolfo Abatinza Chosen be Inaugurated by New Orleans for the j, Britliant March Press Seminary between the Americas MIAMI, FLA., SUNDAY, J ANUARY 29, 1956 | The White House has announced that within a} “For his contribution to a better understanding | few hours President Eisenhower’s reply to the letter sent him by the Soviet Bulganin, concerning the Primer Minister, Nikolai) signing of a non- aggres- sion pact will be publicly released. In reality, the problem between East and West, which for obvious reasons is polarized between the United States and Russia, does not depend upon the mere signing of this or that treaty or agreement. Unfortunately experience has proven that the roots of the problem lie in Russia’s hostile attitude, in its constant provocation of the rest of the world. Therefore if Moscow does not show good faith, what is needed, more so than a treaty which might end up as did that between Germany and Russia, before the outbreak of the Second World War, is the support by the Soviet regime of States. In this country the isolated unit as well as collectively, loves peace. The United States citizen eracy offers so much tha the desires of the United individual, acting as an does not want war, Demo- t there is no need to seek anything further by violence. This nation, guided and indoctrinated by eiv- ilians, that enjoys the benefits of liberty and justice, does not have the slightest desire to enter a war just for the sake of a fight. Of course should a foreign power wish to forcefully take away from it that right, then it knows only too well how to forcefully defend its way of life, its ideals and its interests. The Washington government cannot, because of the functional democracy operative in the United "States, drag the people into a war with the same ‘facility with which the strong men of Moscow can do it with the Russian people. Therefore, Russia couid not have a better guarantee that the United States are not planning aggression, because here in the United States public opinion is what counts in the great decisions affecting the republic. The best guarantee of a non-aggression pact lies in the character of the people of the United States and their respect for international justice. However, the patience and temper of this people, peaceful but brave, with a high sense of patriotic respons- ibility, has its limits. In any case, if it should result impossible to maintain the equilibrium of world peace, it would never be the fault of this people, who only want to enjoy the benefits of peace and demo- eracy. Plans for Caribbean Federation to Become a Reality During 1956 LONDON —(UP) For 30 years or more plans for a British Carib- bean Federation have been in the air but only now are they taking @ concrete shape.

(Special to the Americas Daily) — Rodolfo Abatinza S. has been elected by the International House of New Wm FENeLeToR TIMA TO ANTE UP.— The Flo- rida State Democratic Executive Committee is out to raise some money for their war chest. Fi- guring that the influx of republi- eans will call for greater comml- ttee work, Jimmie Milligan, Orlan- do, State Chairman, has set put to make the committee strong by fflling its long-time depleted co- ffers. At a recent meeting, mem- bers of the Florida Congressional Delegation promised to help. They are now in the process of raising their “share” for the com- mittee. Each is approaching the vBLYM DIFFERENTLY. Billy thews is staging a Democratic Ra- lly and Dinner at Lake City — hopes to raise his money from the profits. Others have asked local le- ading citizens to ante un here and there, At least one has called on country officials in his district to meet a fairly reasonalbe quota. Looks like success for Jimmie Mi- lligan. Although no definite quo- ta was set, a close guess is that about $17.000 will be raised. FLORIDA’S GROWTH. Florida’s amazing growth has sky-rocketed the Fourth Congressional District into the number two spot in the United State for population. The heaviest populated district is Ha- rris County, Texas, (Houston) which is represented by Albert Thomas, Population 896.701. Re- cent figures, relesased by the Bu- reau of the Census, show that Dade County has apopulation of 703.- 7T17M. Add the 1950 figure of 29.957 for Monroe County and you have’ 733.734 for the Fourth Dis- trict. Average for the Congress is about 385.000, Besides being a “Conversation fact” the oversized district means that Congressman Dante Faseell, of Miami, has one gress — just naturally more peo- ple who can write to him about their problems, ANYONE FOR CONGRESS?.— While everybody is talking about who will be running for Governor, for Congress. Although it is as- sumed here that all members of the Florida Congressional Dele- gation will run to keep their pre- sent jobs, none has yet made a formal announcement. But seve- ral who would like to come to Washinntos (as replacements) ha- ve announced their intentions of trying. In the Third District, Ar- thur Barker, a Democrat, has an- nouced against Bob Sikes. Barker | is Sikes’ ususal opponent. This will |be the third time he has tried to unseat the “he-coon”, And in the | Fourth District, Ellis Rubin, a Re- | publican, seems all set to run |against Dante Fascell, Democrat. |Jim Haley, Congressman from te Seventh District, has two Demo- erats after his job; Leonard Car- ter, of Lakeland, and Lefferts L. ‘Maybie of Wauchula. Up to now, |these are the only signs of de- \finite activity on this front, al- |though Cramer, Florida’s lone Re- publican memberr, certainly will have Democratic opposition, But that race is still in the rumor stages. Even though a number of }men might announce, some will surely fail to qualify when the time comes - because it will cost a Democrat $1.125 to get his mame on the ballot this year (5 per cent of the congresman’s $22.- 500 salary). So, you can be sure that folks will think twice before they actually file. That should cut out of the races anyone who wants to run merely for the fun of it to run merely for the fun of it or for personal publicity only, SALUTE TO A PRINCESS.— Now to be addressed as “your highness” is Miss Betty Ann Bradford, se- cretary on the staff of Senator Smathers, Miss Bradford is from Miami Beach and was selected by the Florida State Society to re- present Florida at the annual ball honoring “Miss Confederacy” stag- ed the Virignia Society here of the heaviest work loads in Con- | several already have announced | among the Americas” Orleans to represent the Nicara- guan press in the Press Seminary that will take place in this city March 4 to 8.

(UP) — Argentine has ceased to support Cuba and the United States, who defend the three mile coastal waters li- mit, and four countries have adop- ted an intermediate position be- tween those favoring said limit and the others that favor a 200 mile limit. During the fourth day of con- ferences, the surprize Argentine maneuver left the United States defending the three mil concept alone, since the Cuban delegate Dr. Francisco Garcia Amador said that he considered a “six or nine mile” limit reasonable. The delegates from Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Uruguay said that their respective governments favor a limit slight- ly greater than three miles. Dr. Isidoro Ruiz Moreno of Ar- gentina, after citing the efforts of the United States to protect its fishing resources since 1787 and the proclamation made by President Truman in 1945 to ex- tend the jurisdiction of the United States to its continental shelf, said that “there is a manifest tenden- Perén and Borlenghi Planned Jockey Club Fire responsible for the crime and ar- son in the six buildings destroyed that night. > MINISTER BORLENGHI GAVE THE ORDERS Its said that Borlenghi ordered | then police chief General Miguel Gamboa to “let the boys burn down the buildings, that’s the will of the people” Gamboa was the principal wit-| ness and admitted getting orders “from above” to keep the police and firemen incactive.

William Sanders, the United States delegate, did not speak, but he said he would do so either tomorrow or Monday. Dr. Luis Aycienne Salazar, of Guatemala, said: “The three mile ruling is not complied with nor should it be observed”, and add- ed that the Council should make it clear that it is not the customary rule, MOST NATIONS FAVOR MODERATE EXTENSION _Dr. Mareo Pierre Louis of Haitf, said that his country observed a six mile limit and that in his opi- nion the limit should be extended, but that the zone of territorial waters should not exceed 12 miles and that there should be “a pro- tective zone” not greater than 40 miles, for protection of fishing rights and control of contraband, | Temistocles Messina, of the Do- | miniean Republic, said that the three mile ruling is uniform only |in the sense that no country re- ~ cognizes a smaller limit. He add- ed that the next Ciudad Trujillo conference should approve some “flexible” rule on the matter.

REDS SPEND HUGE AMOUNTS FOR NEW YORK. (UP) — In its February third edition, the maga- zine “Vision” maintains that the Soviet Union and its satellites spend about 35 million dollars an-| nually in Latin America, including | money for the “legations and an ad- ditional amount for subversion, union activity and propaganda”. In addition it said that the So- viet union and its satellites in- vest more than one million dollars a year in trips so that one thou- sand communists can visit Prague, Moscow and other countries be- hind the iron curtain, where they are trained and further indoctrina- ted.
