EDITORIAL EXPLOSIVE SITUATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST The world is now watching one of the most erious events of the last few years, the invasion f Egypt by France and Britain, to occupy the Suez ‘anal Zone.

It is fitting now to pray to God, asking Him o enlighten the intelligence of the great leaders of nternational politics, so that they may find the vay for a favorable solution of the problem, and he world may emerge without harm from the cross- oads in which it is now. Hispanic Institute Head Advocates Creation of Hispanic News Agency MADRID, The most urgent and navoidable problems, which have > be studied and solved by the ations which form the Spanish orld, are those of its economic itegration; the creation of a news | gency; the constructions of High idueation Schools to provide for qe increasing number of universi- » students who come to further ieir studies in Spain; the erec- on, in each one of the Ibero-Ame- ean capitals, of a Hispanic Na- ons House; and organize and co- rdinate the Spanish-American te- »vision. These are the five problems, cen- ‘al and decisives, of the Hispanic orld, as declared by Sefor Alfre- o Sanchez Bella, Director of the ‘ispanie Culture Institute, when e returned of a lenghty tour ough eleven American countries. The Director of the Hispanic Cul- are Institute recently visited Ve- ezuela, Panama, Colombia, Ecua- or, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mé- ico, the United States, Cuba, the ‘ominican Republic and Puerto Ri- o, with the purpose of ‘maintain- 1g permanent contact with these ations and closely follow the spe- ial vicissitudes and changes that re in a normal manner, being dev- loped and of special interest for THE TRACES OF THE SPANISH ‘ERIOD. Sanchez Bella , who had ne opportunity of interviewing, 1 those countries, various Chief | ‘xecutives, numerous Ministers | nd the most outstanding represen- | atives of the cultural world, | rought out, in this subject, the} hanges which have taken place | lately “an increasing and very acute interest for maintaining and pres- | erving the traditions and the traces | of the Spanish period in América. |He said that, in regard to this | preocupation, commonly felt in the | whole of America, the reconstruc: ion of Old Panama, and the crea- tion in Miami Florida of the His- |panic American Center a conjunct j of typical buildings in which a | Great Fair of our Ibero- America- na will be housed, are proyected, |as well as the reconstruction of |the Barrio Antiguo (Old ward) in Puerto Rico. In Cartagena de \Indias, Colombia, the Hispanic | traces are well taken care of and the same is done in Mexican cities |and the Dominican Republic. HISPANIC 2 galera Frances NEWS AGENCY — Coming back to the urgent five problems of the Hispanic-American world, Sanchez Bella brought out, in first place, the necessity of creating a News Agency. “It is already a question of dignity, which we could no long- er sidestep or delay indefinitely. There is a real clamour in the whole of America for the lack of objective information of Latin | American events in the world press. jAll the governments, journalistic jinstitutions and private organi- zations repeatedly point out the |need of organizing a News Agency | which will free them from “infor- | mative colonialism.” It is aot pos- sible, I repeat sidestep this problem which should be attacked definitely and without delay. I am sure that anyone initiating it, will have the collaboration of all.” my, architecture, and many useful arts, but had become disgusted | with the people and sailed across | the sea. Before leaving, however, he had promised: “At some future time I shall return from far off lands, from the direction where the sun rises, and I shall bring with {me my sons, light - skinned and |bearded gods like myself, and I | shall rule over you.” One of the messengers drew a} picture of Cortés on cotton cloth, | an taking this and some presents} jfrom the Spaniard, they went back to report to Moctezuma. The em- peror consulted all his wise men, jastrologers, seers and magicians. But he could not immediately make up his mind whether Cortés was | | Quetzalcoatl or not. He sent the | messengers once more, this time carrying a huge calendar-disk of | gold as big as a cart-wheel, and} another one of silver, and asking Cortés to please go away. Further north Cortés was wel- comed by the “‘cacique” or leader of the Totonacs. While they were speaking, five haughty tax collect- | ors from Moctezuma arrived to col- lect tribute. Cortés insisted that the cacique put them in prison, but | later freed them all and sent. them | back to Moctezuma with this mes-| sage: “You see, I am your friend.” By this means, he succeeded in} making the Totonacs rebel against Moctezuma. At the same time he also wanted to prevent them from | preparing war against him. This is an example of the complicated methods Cortés always used. Nearby, he laid the plans for a city, named it Veracruz, and help- ed: his men to begin building it. When they discovered, however, that this was to be the base for a many announced they had had enokht of the expedition and wanted to go home. Cortés met this threat boldly. He had holes bored in all the ships, so that they filled with water and sank. Their ships destroyed this way, Cortés and his men had no choice but to continue their march in- land, Moreover, Cortés had another serious reason for not wanting to go back to Cuba, from where he had sailed. He had disobeyed the order of Governor Velasquez, who had relieved him- of his command when he was preparing for the ex- pedition, cancelling it. Cortés, however, had ignored the with- drawal of his appointment, and has set out along the southwestern coast of Cuba, acquiring more men and supplies. Since in those days to disregard an order like that often meant being hanged ,Cortés chose to try the conquest of the Mexican Indians, including the all- powerful Moctezuma.
