It is of great importance that a date has been fixed for the next meeting, and that it is not so far away, especially taking into consideration the time required to formulate recommendations, objections, | reports, etc., etc.,.on the matter. Besides, it must be taken into consideration that the month of Decem-) ber, for obvious reasons, is not propitious for acti-| vities of that nature. é As it is well known, there will be in Washington, during that time, a special secretariat, created by the Commission, which will be in charge of manage- ment and interchange of replies from all the Amer- ican Governments, regarding the all important economic matter which has determined this conti- nental movement. ‘ It is to be hoped that everything will develop | within the plans adopted, that the secretariat will function with the efficiency the case demands, and that the call made for the meeting in January is not unexpectedly postponed. To this appointment in January all the twenty- one delegates must attend, conscious of the histor- ical trascendence and the immense economic signi- ficance of their task. They must go to Washington | with the necessary reports, with complete knowledge of what they have in hand, with the required official authorizations to act with relative freedom, in the| sense of arriving at categoric conclusions that may really have positive repercussion in the field of| practical achievements. | During the months of October, November and December, and part of January, each and every one of the Governments of America must do everything in their power to obtain all information and reports which are indispensable for adequate and definite planning on the economic problems affecting Inter- american life, in the favorable solution of which so much hope has been raised among the peoples of the continent.

Suez” which said in part: “Panama’s decision to join some 20 communist and neutral nations KNOW THY NEIGHBOR By ANTONIO RUIZ ARGENTINA — The Province of La Plata, as Argentina was called, was one of the first Spanish colon- ies to win independence, and gave to the continent, and to world his- tory, the great Liberator José de San Martin, one of the most bril- liant generals in military history and a man whose selfless devotion to the cause of liberty put him apart for- all time. Two main events played an im- portant role in the Argentine movement of independence against Spain: the invasion of that country by Napoleon, and the seizure of Buenos Aires by the British. The success of the citizens militia in twice repulsing the British, open- ed the eyes of the creoles to their own strength and, on May 25, 1810, the anti-royalists of Buenos Aires demanded and secured a self-gov- erning council of their own choos- ing known as the “First Junta.” This marked the birth of the in- dependence movement, although a formal declaration was not issued until 1816 by the now famous Congress of Tucuman. While Simon Bolivar was liberat- ing the Spanish colonies in the northwest of South America, San Martin organized his “Army of the Andes” near Mendoza and, by a feat of extraordinary daring and strategy, crossed the mountain range to make a surprise attack on the Spanish forces. Decisive vic- tories in Chile and then in Peru won independence for those coun- tries as well as security for Ar- Following his historic meeting with Bolivar in Guayaquil, San Martin declined the offices of- fered him by a greatful people, and left the field of glory to Bolivar. The four decades of anarchy, civil war, secession and tyranny which followed the winning of free- dom, prevented the unification of the country until after the middle of the 19th. century. The economic- ally and politically dominant pro- vince of Buenos Aires sought to impose a unitarian form of govern- ment on the rest of the ocuntry, but the provinces of the interior stood firm for a federalist form. Ruthless warfare was waged by riv- al caudillos, or chieftains, of the provinces and their private gaucho armies. For twenty - three years Juan Manuel Rosas, Governor of Buenos Aires, held the country in an iron grip until, in 1852, he was defeated by an army of libera- tion and left the country. The federalist principle triumphed with the adoption of the Constitution of 1853, which continued in force until the new one was sanctioned in 1949. The rise of Argentina as a united nation began under the pre- sidencies of Bartolomé Mitre, dis- tinguished journalist and historian, and Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, one of Latin America’s great edu- cators. The new era of expansion which began in 1850 was marked by the introduction of wheat-growing, and the arrival of the first agricultural immigration from Europe; by the building of the first railway and the inauguration of steam naviga- tion, the introduction of farm machinery, refrigeration and other technological developments. Land values boomed and backward towns mushrooned into commercial and railroad centers, with huge salught- erhouses and grain elevators. The population jumped from less than four million in 1895 to more than sixteen million within fifty years. Social progress did not lag, as evi- denced by Argentina’s low rate of ard of living. Symbol of modern Argentina is Buenos Aires, which became per- manent capital of the nation in 18- 80, when it was separated from the Province of Buenos Aires and made Federal District: The country is di- vided into fourteen provinces and nine national territories.

This will mean a sizable increase in their living costs, and they are making things uncomfortable for the gov- ernment at Panama City.” LIBERALS JAILED BY PANAMA GVT. COLON, Panama, Sept. 21— (UP) Three women and four mea are serving sentences of from 20 to 40 days in jail following their arrest at a political meeting. Police broke up the rally which, they said, defeated Liberal Party presidential candidate Victor Flo- rencio Goytia attempted to con- duct without giving the required 24-hour advance notice. All seven prisoners appealed their sentences. Liberty in Colon for United States servicemen from \the Canal Zone was cancelled im- mediately after the trouble broke out. Atoms for Peace in Puerto Rico SAN JUAN, P. R., Sept. 21 — (UP) Governor Luis Mufoz Marin said that Puerto Rico, with the aid of the United States, will be one of the first countries to utilize nuclear energy for peaceful pur- poses. Mufioz Marin made this declara- tion after Dr. Milton Eisenhower announced in Washington that the United States Atomic Energy Com- mission will cooperate with the University of Puerto Rico for in- stallation of a Nucleoelectric 20,000 kilowatts Plant and for training of nuclear technicians. “With its characteristic genero- sity — said Governor Mufoz Ma- rin — the United States Govern- ment wants the Puerto Rican peo- ple to benefit with this extraordin- ary measure that will offer the | American Republics the advantages resulting from the scientific invest- igation and application in Puerto Rico of atomic energy for peaceful purposes, HEMISPHERIC EVENTS PUERTO RICANS, TAMPAN RESCUED AT CARIBBEAN SAN JUAN, P.

S: Visitors’ Checks NEW YORK —(UP) — Cuban gambling casinos will stop honor- ing American checks if American courts do not force a Brooklyn businessman to make good $3,000. The Tropicales Club of Havana said in court here Thursday that vacationist Paul Milora cashed a $3,000 check and received the equivalent in chips. The club management said Milo- ra spent $50 worth of the chips for dinner and drinks and went to the dice tables and lost $2,000. The ca- sino charged he cashed his re- maining $950 in chips, left and | stopped payment on his check. Milora sees nothing wrong in making $950 profit his way. He said he was well aware that bank checks were acceptable to the casino management when he visited the club last July 7. battery.

On his arrival here Perén told newsmen: “My entire capital is $14,000 which I have deposited in the Bank of Venezuela.” Venezuelan officials confirmed that Argentina has asked for the attachment of Perén’s assets. They refused to disclose any details, saying the request was made in a “confidential note.” However, the newspaper La Es- fera, which front-paged the report under banner headlines, said: the request was made by the Argentine Embassy, 6n behalf of the Board for the Recovery of the National Patrimony, and that the Venezuel- an Foreign Ministry had passed it on to the Ministry of Justice, MOTHER’S DREAM SAVES MEXICAN ZITACUARO, México —(UP)— A “corpse” emerged today from his grave and, with tears in his eyes, ‘threw himself in the arms of his For Liberty, Culture and Hemispheric Solidarity Member Inter American BOGOTA, Sept. 21—(UP)—The President of the Republic, Gustavo Rojas Pinilla, disclosed in a radio address that he had given orders to the Colombian Ambassador in Washington to sue “Time” maga- zine, for publication of reports about his personal business, which he considers libelous. He added that the magazine’s manager visit- ed him lately and appeared to be ashamed at their publication. The President explained in de- tail the business to which “Time” referred. According to “Time,” Rojas Pi- nilla bought a hacienda for 500,000 pesos, and then sold the worse half ot it to an official agency for the same amount. The President quot- ed figures and documents, saying the hacienda was bought by a corp- oration constituted by his family, which sold it later to the Panaman- jan company Richway Mercantil Insurance. He declared that when he was consulted about the establishment |of the corporation, he thought the worse headache suffered by form- er executives in the country was the business transactions of their relatives with official agencies, and to avoid it, he accepted the establishment of the corporation. He referred then to the state- ment in “Time” that before he was President he lived in a modest, rented house, and now has a luxu- rious residence at Melgar. He as- serted that before he assumed the a fortune, and he denied the Mel- a forutne, and he denied the Mel- gar residence is luxurious. “This — he said — was verified by the manager of “Time,” who visited me there 15 days ago.” Later he referred to the negot- iation of a sugar mill which, ac- cording to “Time,” Rojas Pinilla bought for 1,700,000 pesos, when it really was worth more than seven millions. He explained that the sugar mill was bankrupt in 1949 and that the corporation owning it was declar- ed so by the Superintend- ence of Corporations because it had lost more than fifty per cent of its capital, which was of three million pesos. He added that the sugar mill was abandoned. He ex- plained then that he acquired cred- WASHINGTON —(UP)— The United States Commerce Depart- ment said that insurance com- panies are making an important contribution to the economic de- velopment of Venezuela. A survey of the insurance market in Venezuela, said that assets of domestic and foreign insurance companies operating in Venezuela amounted to about 365,000,000 bo- livars at end of 1954. The total as- sets had doubled since 1950 and tripled since 1948, About three-fourths of the as- sets in 1954 were held by half a dozen large Venezuelan companies.

He said that when he read the article in “Time,” he called on the phone the Ambassador in Washing- ton and asked him to consult on the possibility of suing the maga- zine for libel. Later he sent to the diplomat a copy of the deeds au- tenticated by the U. S. Embassy in Bogota. The matter was consulted with- four firms of U. S. lawyers, which agreed that this was a case of classic libel.” Rojas Pinilla, although he did not say so, implied that he had desist- ed from suing “Time” after the visit paid him by the magazine’s manager.
