It has become clearly evident that in Hungary the preponderance of Russia was maintained by the force of arms, and never because it had support from) the people. Tt is enough to observe. the basic demands of the revolutionary movement, to understand that | everything has its roots in the dissatisfaction of the| Hungarian people with the interference of imperia- list Russia in the political affairs of that nation. More than dissatisfaction, it is indignation, The revolutionary movement is struggling, among other things, for the following: 1—Withdrawat of Soviet troops from Hungary. 2—Absolute freedom of expression and press. 3—Elimination of the gigantic statue of Stalin from downtown Budapest. 4—New uniforms for the Hungarian Army, to replace those now in use, of Russian type. 5—Government reorganization. 6—New general elections with participation of all parties forming the popular patriotic front. 7—Revision of erm roth relations. 8—Revision of industrial procedures, 9—Revision of compulsory quotas imposed at the delivery of crops. 10—Revision of all political trials. 11—Release of all political prisoners, including | those still in the Soviet Union. Enumeration of only eleven of the sixteen points contained in the basic demands of the Hungarian people demonstrate which is the attitude of that country against the system imposed by the Russian government, through the puppet government in Budapest. Many years have elapsed without Hungary being able to shake the yoke of tyranny, and although there still remain many political battles to be fought, there is no doubt that she has advanced much in the field of legal restoration, just by standing up to the Soviet dictatorship. What is happening in Hungary, as well as what has happened in Poland, is unmistakable evidence of the absolute dissatisfaction of the peo- ple with the system imposed by the communists through the use and abuse of force. If communism would create the paradise described by its defen- ders, there would be no room for movements such as these, in which the great majority of the people, with sacrifices amounting to heroism, participate. New Trust in Argentina’s Economic Policies Expressed in Washington WASHINGTON —(UP)— Argentine Government’s decision to compensate foreign power com- panies expropriated by the Perén regime has added to the feeling of trust that has developed here in the economic policies of the Aram- buru administration, The move was welcomed in offi- cial and financial quarters as an- other sign of Argentina’s deter- mination to develop an auspicious atmosphere for private invest- ments. Recognition by the Argentine government of the role such in- vestments may play in helping Ar- gentina overcome its power short- age has found a particularly posi- tive response fromt he Export Import Bank. The United States Government operated bank strongly favors co- operation between private and gov- ernment capital in major econmic development programs such as the Argentine government is contem- plating. Vance Brand, a bank director who has just returned from Ar- gentina, stressed this point in an} interview with the United Press. Brand, who had been informed of the government’s desire to com- Pensate expropriated power com- panies when he met with Presi- dent Eugenio P. Aramburo in Buenos Aires last week, praised the action as being in line with de- veloping a sound economy. An atmosphere of confidence in the treatment of private capital, domestic or foreign, is regarded by the bank as essential for the hoped-for expansion of the bank’s operations in’ Argentina. Informed’ officials told the Unit- ed Press that the bank’s future The for private United States com- panies interested in exporting agricultural equipment to Argen- tina rather than on further govern- ment-to-government loans. Brand returned Sunday from a three - week study of the imple- mentation of a $100,000,000 loan the bank recently gave Argentina for railroad and port rehabilitation. The bank director reported to Samuel C. Waugh, president of the agency. The report will also be submitted to the bank’s full | board of directors before Brand re- turns to Argentina next month, ANNOUNCEMENT BUENOS AIRES—(UP)— Ar- gentina’s provisional Government, in an important step destined to restore the nation’s credit in world financial markets, announced that it intends to make full payment to the owners of power companies expropriated by previous govern- ments between 1943 and 1952. Among the companies expected to benefit from the government's plans are 20 subsidiaries of the American and Foreign Power Co. The announcement was made after a meeting of provisional pre- sident Pedro E. Aramburu and the governors of 12 Argentine provin- ces which produce 80 per cent. It came at a moment when Ar- gentina is negotiating with an Export-Import Bank mission for additional credits that coul include financing for a power expansion program to meet the country’s severe electric power shortage.

Earth quakes and numerous fires have destroyed most of the original co- | lonial buildings of the city, once} known as the “Paris of Saint Do- mingue, ” because of its wealth and luxurious living. Tot he west of the city, the first Europeans to arrive in the New World sailed into Acul Bay in the Santa Maria and the Nifia, follow- ed later by the Pinta. Columbus sailed in the Santa Maria past Point Picolet which guards Cap- Haitien’s harbor, when he was about to spend his first Christmas in the New World as guest of the Indian chief Guacanagaric. On the fringe of the coral reefs, where the waves can be seen breaking, the Santa Maria met her fate on Christmas Eve in 1492. Lokking inland from the harbor, the visitor can see the breath-tak- ing panorama of the plains and mountains, unchanged since the Great Admiral described it, in eloquent words, in his diary, as follows “The high and rocky mountains on either side of the harbor rose from among noble for- ests and swept down into luxur- iant plains and cultivated fields, and the rich and smiling valley be- tween the two mountains ran far into the interior.” In the nearby islands, more than a century later, English, French | and Dutch corsairs lay in wait to| pounce on richly -laden Spanish galleons en route across the At- latnic. From their island hiding place, Ile de la Tortue, French buccaneers came to the larger is- land and founded Cap Francais, later re-named Cap-Haitien, in 16- 70. By the middle of the 18th cen- tury it had become France's wealthiest colonial capital and Saint Domingue was counted the richest colonial possession in the world. The exuberant, productive Plain-du-Nord and the Artibonite Valley supplied half of Europe with sugar and cocoa. On their vast plantations of cotton, indigo, sugar, cocoa and coffee — cul- tivated by myriads of slaves French Creole planters lived like kings. Their display of wealth on sojourns in Paris gave rise to the expression “as rich as a Creole.” Whehn the French Revolution came, the “Paris of Saint Domin- gue” overnight became a stage alike for heroic events and for barbaric excesses in the great struggle for human liberty. The old French fountain which _ still | stands in the Place d’ Armes, was a silent witness to the execution of Haiti’s first martyrs: the mulat- to Lacombe, hanged for daring to | present a petition claiming the “rights of Man” for his country- | men; Ogé and Chavannes, bar- | barously put to death for demand- ing the political rights of the “af- franchis”. One stormy night in the forest of Bios Cajm4n, outside Cap-Hait- jen, three Negro leaders met in 1791 to plan the rebellion oft he A week later, the ominous beat of native drums was heard, and their followers descended from the mountains and swept through the Plaine - du - Nord with fire and sword, avenging the deaths of Ogé and Chavannes and of untold num- bers of slaves during three agoniz- ing centuries of bondage. In a week’s time they had reduced the luxuriant plain to one vast ceme- tery and had destroyed 600 coffee plantations, 200 sugar refineries, and the fine mansions of the own- ers. Merciless retaliation was met- ed_out to rebels and non-rebels alike by the French at Cap-Hait- jen, who kept five gallows con- Cuba is at the threshold of a great | oil bonanza and “more than $50,- | a better understonding ES ARE BUILT EXPLORATIONS INCREASED crude production is still compara- tively small, it has increased from 500 to 1,800 barrels in the last two years, The present impulse — he af- firmed — indicates the rising of interest and increase in explora- tions by the United States and Cuban oil cqmpanies. Such efforts will soon make Cuba one of the important countries in oil produc- tion. The Consolidated Cuban Petro- leum Company, shares of whi a were put up for sale on Friday Octobr 19 at the American Stock Exchange, accounts for 40 per cent of the total Cuban crude produc- tion. Moore explained that Consoli- dated obtains its production from four shallow wells and added that | there is now a fifth one which just started to be exploited, one more almost finished and a_ seventh | where perforation has been start- | ed. “Three large refineries are at present operating or being built in the island” said Moore. “Esso (Standard of New Jersey) will in- crease his refining capacity from | 6,000 to 35,000 barrels daily, while Shell and Texaco are building units with capacity of 20,000 barrels daily,” Moore, an ex - official of the United States Department of State has been residing in Cuba for al- most ten years and calls himsel “aplatanado” (as aliens living in the island for a long time are ealled). The Consolidated have a con- tract with Esso, and Moore said: “It is the first time that one of the great refining companies have bought Cuban crude to pro- duce gasoline.” “Since we signed our contract with Esso, in August 1956, Con- solidated have sold and delivered daily to Belot Refinery 500 bar- rels,” he said. He reported that the principal producing center of Consolidated | — Antillas No. 1 — is only 16 kilo- meters from the refinery. He said that a great incentive for explorations in Cuba are, the national market which consumes 65,000 barrels per day, and the facilities offered by the island Gov- ernment with the purpose of de- veloping the investment of private foreign capital, particularly in the field of oil exploitation. Economic Mission From Argentina Now in France PARIS, Oct. 25 (UP) — The Argentine economic delegation headed by Ambassador Eustaquio Delfino resumed negotiations with French authorities. Under the presidency of Pierre Sebillau, the delegations of both | countries held a plenary session during which it was decided, in order to gain time, to create two commissions which will work and neet separately. This was done in other countries with satisfactory results. The first commission will deal with financial questions, its Argen- tine members being Centenario A.

Mora NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 25—(UP) The Secretary General of the Or- ganization of American States (0 AS), Dr. José A. Mora, said that the countries of North, Central and South America should unite not | only to maintain peace but also “to participate in a common pros- perity.” Mora, former ambassador from Uruguay in the United States, spoke here in an act commemorat- ing the anniversary of the founda- tion of the United Nations. The Secretary declared that men of good will in the Americas have that end to follow as an objective, He declared that New Orleans, with its proximity to Latin America, both in distance and cultural and economic relations, is one of the forces strengthening of Panamericanism. Mora reminded that the OAS and the U. N. share a common objec- tive, since “both institutions work to insure peace and security of the mations of the world.” He said both work daily also for the betterment of the standard of living in all the countries of the world.” Referring to the establishment of the U. N. in San Francisco elev- en years ago, Mora said the OAS had an important role in the mis- sion of uniting “the family of the Americas with the family of the Usa” “Since then — he continued — the OAS and the U. N. have work- ed together without obstacles and have had no difficulty in harmoniz- ing: their viewpoints. We have achieved that through the adop- tion in the Charter of the U.N of certain fundamental principles, which have tonomy of our regional organiza- tion, the OAS.” Serious Charges Made in México Against O’Dwyer MEXICO CITY—(UP)— An ex- Secret Service agent accused of the blackmail-highjacking of a Canad- ian honeymoon couple charged he is being “persecuted through the influence” of former U. S. Ambas- sador William O’Dwyer. Bernardo Illanes, one of four defendams against extortion char- ges brought by Louis and Tita Ann Molner of Toronto, said O’- Dwyer is a “protector of interna- tional gangsters.” After testifying in federal court that he “knew nothing” about the $10,000 extortion attempt against the Canadian ex-convict and his wealthy bride, Ilanes lashed out at O’Dwyer in a statement to news- papermen. “The Canadian couple. . .are un- der O’Dwyer’s protection, who was not satisfied with defending gangs- ters in New York but has come to México to do the same thing,” he declared. Lawyers for the four defendants said they would ask the former New York Mayor to appear at the hearings “to clarify certain points”. O’Dwyer, now a member of a México City law firm, called the police into the case when Mrs. Mol- ner, daughter of a Canadian min- ing millionaire, appealed to him for help. showing the way for the|. preserved the au-|. Copper Pilfered in Perd May be Going to Reds LIMA, Oct. 25 (UP. — Police of the neighboring port of Callao is conducting an ample investiga- tion with the purpose of establish- ing that the copper which was be- ing pilfered in large scale by a gang of workers of the Cerro de Pasco Corporation’s Oroya Found- ry, found its way to Russia or some of the satelite countries. According to the initial police it has been es- a well organized investigations, tablished that Pasco Corporation, with ramifica- tions in Oroya and Callao, was pil- fering part of the copper which the company exports and which value is estimated in one million soles. The gang also exported the copper as scrap copper and, ac- cording to the police, shipped it to Jests Cerna, of Tangier, via Ca- diz, Sapin. Tangier which is a free port, is under management of seven na- tions, including Russia. Callao authorities believe that the stolen copper was then pur- chased by Russia or any of the countries under her domination. Spain police has been consulted by Perd’s Direction General of In- vestigations about the final des- tination of the copper shipped by the gang. It is known here® that at the Cadiz port shipments on transit for Tangier are unloaded. The police arrested Damaso Ra- banal Gonzalez, spaniard and own- er of the Fundicion Italo-Hispana, S.

Later, this afternoon, the report of Sr. Ramén Marrero Arés- tegui, Editor of “La Nacién” of said country, will be heard and| it is expected that it will be favorable to the Dominican Repu- | blic regime. Also the Commission will hear two Dominican exiled newspaper- men. Costa Rican ex President, Sr. Otilio Ulate, read an address in which he exalted the freedom of the press and democracy. Argentinian delegate, Sr. Santia- go Nuderman, rendered a favora- ble report on freedom of expres- sion in his country . The report in regatd to Cuba was given by Dr. Rail Alfonso Gon- sé, Editor of the daily “El Mundo”, and by Dr. Luis Orlando Rodriguez, of the clausured newspaper “La Calle”, The editor of “Deportes” read a report about the clausure of said newspaper, the destruction of the plant and offices and the seizure of the building by the police, although the courts ordered its return to the complainant, Dr. Raoul Alfonso Gonsé promis. ed to carry on the work for the solution of the “La Calle” problem. Fernando Gémez Martinez, of the staff of “El Colombiano”, of Mede- lin, Colombia, sent a report in the morning in which it was stated that, in this Republic, there is a rigorous press censorship which, in many cases, was dictated orally. However, when reopening the ses- sion in the afternoon and, comply- ing with a plea from the Colom- bian Ambassador in Cuba, the IAPA heard the report of the dele- Mundo” | gates of pro-government papers, |who said they want a responsible fredom of the press and that what existed before was a licentious- ness which provoked incidents they would rather not analyze.

DUBOIS WORK IS PRAISED | HAVANA (UP) — In the Free |dom of Press Committee session, | Guillermo Martinez Marquez, editor |of “El Pais” of Havana, praised | the work achieved by Jules Dubois, President of the Committee the most important in IAPA, “Tt cannot be said—declared Mar. tinez Marquez—that IAPA has won the war, but it has won many bat- tles.” Dubois thanked the Cuban re- presentative for his statements and announced that he has irrevocably decided to resign as soon as this assembly ends. The President of the committee, referring to the problems before his group, affirmed that in Nicara- gua there is a complete lack of press fredom and said that by order of the President, Luis Somo- za, on September 22 the keys were taken from the linotypes of the newspaper “La Prensa”. He added that Mrs. Chamorro, wife of the editor, asked the re turn of the keys, but as an answer the government took also the tele- printer of the news agency serving “La Prensa”, leaving the paper without that service. Dubois asserted that his commit- tee and the IAPA are not any- body’s enemies, but only friends of freedom of expression. Demetrio Canelas, of “Los Tiem- pos” of Cochabamba, Bolivia, said his newspaper was destroyed by mobs supported by the Bolivian government, saying that “it is ne- cessary to destroy it, otherwise it may come out again, at any mo- ment”. Canelas, rubbing his hand against his gray hair, said that last Sep- tember he went to Bolivia and President Siles Suazo promised him to correct the situation. However, he added, not only no- thing was done, but he had to take refuge at the Nunciature, in order to elude the persecution by the police.
