S. LEGATION TO CARDINAL MINDSZENTY A well deserved, warm feeling of approval has spread through the civilized world with the highly humanitarian gesture of the Government of the United States of America, in granting diplomatic asylum in its Legation at Budapest to the virtuous Josevh Cardinal Mindszenty, Primate of Hungary. When, about eight years ago, this Prince of the Catholic Church in Hungary was brutally persecuted and tortured “in body and soul”, as he has revealed at the Legation where he took refuge, the whole world, regardless of religious feelings, and taking into consideration only the high spiritual hierarchy | of the Cardinal, his great intellectual capacity, his! unblemished honorability, condemned the savage | outrage from the communists, of which the illus- trious Hungarian citizen was a victim, Of course, in the Catholic world, with the Pope! at its head, a special wave of protest against Russia was felt, as well as against the contemptible puppet) government she imposed on the Hungarian people. The Cardinal, in reality, has been a martyr in the defense and proclamation of his religious mission | and in dignifying, with his lordly attitude, the con- cept of Christian life. The case of the illustrious Cardinal moved all! the democratic governments on earth. Because it) was a violation of the Hungarian Peace Treaty, | officially negotiations were made through the) Foreign offices, without obtaining a change of policy from the despotic regime obeying orders from Moscow. And in this way, to the sorrow of the whole world, the Cardinal was subjected to infamous tor- tures which can be conceived only within the com-| munist mentality, and in a hateful trial, throwing justice overboard, he was sentenced to penalties which never succeeded in submitting the. will of the noble Shepherd of Souls. Neither they succeed- ed, as has been proven now, in bending the spirit of the Hungarian people. Because, as an eminent Cen- tral American thinker once said, chains can hold the ankles, but never the consciences. The opportune asylum found in the United States Legation at Budapest spared Cardinal Minds- zenty, who was released when the. Hungarian rei- vindication movement transitorily triumphed, from being subjected again to the criminal communist persecution. Perhaps it could be assured that, due to the United States protection, the great Cardinal, admired and respected by the whole world, is not one more of many thousands slain by the Russians! in the streets of the cultural city of Budapest.

Hu NEW YORK — Hon, Gouthier, Brazil’s newly appoint- ed Ambassador to Belgium and Luxemburg,, has called for a 3- point program in Latin America to help combat communism.

KNOW THY NEIGHBOR By ANTONIO RUIZ | | | | CHILE—(Continued) — One of | the most popular attractions in| Southern Chile is the region of the | Palmaiquen falls, which are con-| sidered among the most beautiful | in the world. The Palmaiquen Riv- er, which has its beginning at| Lake Puyehue, after running only | a few miles, goes down a precipice about eighty feet high, with aj tremendous roar, and producing a} thick fog, which rises about 350 feet and then disappears. Located about 30 miles southeast of Osorno, Palmaiquen falls can be reached by a paved road which is a branch of the Puyehue Highway. Near the falls there is a very good res- taurant which serves lunch and re- freshments. The Chilean Production Develop- ment Corporation has used one of the falls for a hydroelectric plant, one of the most modern in the country, which supplies electric power to a wide area, and has been a great help in the development and progress of the region. The plant can be visited securing a permit from the authorities. Until a short time ago, the re- gion surrounding Lake Rupanco was almost unknown to the tour- ist visiting Southern Chile, but with the construction of a very good road and a comfortable hotel, it is now one of the most visited zones of the south. The hotel has 100 rooms and is located at the lake shore, and offers fishing ex- cursions, boat races and other at- tractions . The nearby Rupanco warm springs are at 500 feet above sea level. The waters spring out at a temperature of about 90 de- grees and are said to have medicin- al properties. In the northern part of the triangle formed by Lake Llanqui- hue, is the attractive town of Puer- to Octay, about 3 miles from Osorno and connected with this city by a very good road. It has the aspect of a Swiss or Tirol town and is surrounded by exceedingly picturesque places which are a great attraction for tourists visit- ing the region during the summer season, Outstanding among these places is the Centinela Peninsula, about 10 miles from the town, which offers the most exotic land- scapes, There is a beautiful hotel there, surrounded by parks and gardens. Of great interest to the traveler | is the excursion Osorno-La En- senada, because the beautiful landscapes found in every mile} of the road, especially the portion | running along the shores of Lake | Lianquihue. The most attractive | | view, however, is the Osorno volca- | no, similar to the Fujiyama in Ja- pan, its mighty peak eternally co- vered by snow. In the northeast shore of the lake there are some Picturesque towns, including Puer- to Fonck, Puerto Clocker, Puerto Chico, Rio Blanco and others. At Puerto. Clocker starts the road to the ski runs of La Picada, in the slopes of the Osorno volcano, which attract many visitors during the} summer, _ Going from Osorno to Argen- tina, there is an alternate route through Puerto Varas which, al- though much longer than the Trans-Andean Railroad, is prefer- red by many people during the summer, because of the beautiful views found in the way, Outstand- ing among these is Lake Todos los Santos, which is surrounded by snow-capped peaks, and the emer- ald-green waters of which are of incomparable beauty. On_ this route the visitor can admire beauti- ful mountain peaks and volcanos, including Osorno, Puntiagudo, Te- chado, and the majestic Tronador, with its snow-capped imposing peaks, Hugo | Latin America go Gouthier, new Brazilian Ambassador to Belgium He stated that many programs have been outlined for the eco- |nomic development of the Latin | | American countries including Bra- | )zil, but what is needed is the ful- | fillment of these programs free |from ‘bureaucracy, red tape and | postponement. | | “The United States,” he stated, | | “has attained the highest standard of living for its citizens, and the people of the United — States, working im a concerted and order- ly manner, are happy and satisfied. | In this sense, the picture in Latin} American is quite different. Al- |though some governments make every effort to help, the masses} are suffering, and are being denied many necessities, which are their | Tights, because the underdevelop- jed and weak economy of Latin | America has not been able even to | fulfill basic needs, fundamental to | human dignity. The conditions which exist aggravate and create without a doubt dissatisfaction and restlessness in the people. Only by raising the standard of living of the Latin American countries can we combat the evil forces at work to disrupt our nations. “The fundamental steps to’ be taken” continued Ambassador Gouthier, “to insure the rise of a different America — a united and happy America — without, of course, underestimating the im- portance of economic develop- ment in agriculture and industriali- zation, may be summed up in a three-point program, incorporating the three rights and the three greatest human needs: 1, The need and the right to be adequately fed; 2. The need and the right to | educate one’s family, 8. The need for and the right to a decent home. “These are the three great wea- Pons against communism! “A large-scale housing program for the poor throughout the Latin American countries, with the co- operation of the International Bank (as was done in Southern Italy), or the Export-Import Bank, in our opinion would do much to improve the lives of our citizens, alleviating the anxieties and un- certainties concommitant with their impoverished existence and insuring for each and every citizen a real participation in the benefits of life. The Export-Import Bank has contributed a great deal toward the economic development of many countries including Brazil, but a new scope could be given to their activities.by the adoption of these three ideals as guide-posts: | Nutrition Housing Education “Aided and abetted by private initiative,” he said, “that institu- tion could be endowed with a new | sense of responsibility for the most pressing problems of the people of Latin America”. Concluding his remarks, Ambas- | sador Gouthier said, “In our en-| deavor to bring about the fulfill- ment of these three rights and these three fundamental necessi- ties — Nutrition, Housing and Education, we shall in reality transform this hemisphere. This will be a New World.” HEMISPHERIC EVENTS APPROVE CUT RATE AIR FARES IN ARGENTINA - BUENOS AIRES—(UP)— An International Air Transport Con- ference voted unanimously to es- tablish a cut-rate toufist service after next March 1, Rates for the new service will be between 29 and 3 per cent lower than those for first class passage. The decision requires approval by the governments of the coun- tries concerned. Airlines represented at the con- ference include those in the Unit- ed States, Argentina, Britain, Bra- zil, Canada, Chile Denmark, France, Holland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switz- erland, The conference was called by regularly scheduled airlines, mem- bers of the International Air Trans port Association, to adopt measu- res to meet increasing competition from non-scheduled Latin Ameri- can airlines. Some of these now charge only $480 for the Buenos Aires-New York trip, as against Spanish Version Page 3 TRUE DEMOCRACY IS BEST WEAPON TO COMBAT ALL DICTATORSHIPS SAO PAULO, Brasil, Nov. 14— (UP)— George Meany, President of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organization (AFL-CIO) declared today that the functioning of de- mocracy is the most fifting answer to dictatiorships. At a luncheon offered to him by union leaders of the Sao Paulo State, Meany, among other things, said: “Today, when world peace threatened by totalitarian com- munism, when the future of our civilization is . threatened by the enemies of progress, is the mo- ment in which the movements of the free unions of the whole world should rise, united, to back up the Free World modus vivendi. Unit- ed we can confront that challenge and I am sure that we will do it. “The best response to dictator- ‘ships, either the right or the left, is to make democracy work- able. This, in essence, is the per- manent responsibility of the Free Union movement. “The atmosphere of liberty, in- | dispensable for unionism is only obtainable in a country where the government itself is free and de- moeratic. “Our tour, until now, has given us a profound and durable impres- sion. “We, unionized workers, meas- ure progress in human terms. For us, the net value of a nation de- pends on the pattern of living of its people. In this manner, we al- ways endeavor for better pay for the workers, as history and ex- perience demonstrate that the key to a solid and lasting pros- perity, in any country, is a high adquisitive power in the hands of the popular masses. “Nevertheless, frequently the people complain with impatience that the unions always want more is Dozens Killed as Bridge Collapses in Venezuela CARACAS, noviembre 14 (UP) —The timbering of the new Sucre bridge, in the western part of this capital collapsed and it is feared | that the number of casualties may | reach dozens of deaths. Hours after the accident five corpses were already taken out from the rubbish and the number of wounded was past twenty. The structure that collapsed. 70 meters long, fell on an undeter- mined number of workers of the| construction and other persons that were passing by the place. The authorities immediately took energic measures and rescue teams started speedy work to remove the debris, but it is a gigantic job, due to the magnitude of the collapsed structure, and will re- quire more than one day. Sucre bridge is an old structure} being replaced by a magnificent | bridge of great proportions, with} an approximated lenght of 180 meters, The collapse was caused, it appears, by a calculation error in the speed of the cement to set. The new bridge, which cost will reach several millions of Bolivares, is destined to transform completely the traffic of the zone and consti- tute one of the important projects | for their members.” Communism Outla BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 14 — (UP)— The Courts cancelled the legal recognition, as a political par- ty to the Communist Party, con- sidering it a totalitarian move- ment. Electoral judge Luis Botet in- yoked the new Electoral Law, which recognizes only parties with democratic tendencies. The judge decision says: “Communism, as its title and public and notorious performance in the European panorama clearly implies, is not a democratic party but the maximum exponent of totalitarianism recorded in the contemporary political history.” Judge Botet; immediately after, declared the Communist Party, which has been in existence for 38 years in Argentina, incapable to participate in Argentine Elector- al contests, either with candidates or conducting a campaign in any manner, i “If a few years ago — continues the decision — the maneuver of dissolving the Third International to facilitate the labor of the com- munists in the whole world, under the fiction of its independence, was realized, that which is hap- pening at present in Hungary is the most definitive demonstration being constructed’ at present in| Caracas. x wed in Argentina of the efective and material inter- national advance of the totalitar- ianism above mentioned.” Next year for the first time since Peron fell, elections to choose De- legates to the Constituent Conven- tion will take place. Under the system of proportional repre- sentation, the communists could have obtained several posts in the Couvention; but Judge Botet de- cision disqualify them now to en- ter the race, Health Services in Panama Will be Reorganized PANAMA, (UP) — President; Ernesto de la Guardia has an- nounced a sweeping reorganization of Panama’s public health services, in line with the recommendations of the World Health Organization and Dr. I. S, Falk, United States So- cial Security expert. Mrs. Cecilia de Remon, Minister of Health, Labor and Social Se- curity, will be in charge of the re- organization, the President said. One basic principle of the new program is to place the emphasis on prevention of illness rather than on the care of the sick, he of that fiction and of the reality ee ae COFFEE GROWERS WANT DOLLARS IN COLOMBIA BOGOTA, Colombia —(UP) — Colombian coffee growers have asked the government that they be allowed to sell the dollars they receive for their coffee at a more favorable rate than the official 2.- 50 pesos per dollar rate, it was re- ported. ‘i The request, filed by the Cof- fee Growers Federation, was en- dorsed by the National Merchants Federation. Finance Minister Luis Morales Gémez said the govern- ment had taken it under considera- tion. The petition emphasized that in. recent days the dollar quotation in the free market had risen consider- ably, “causing an immoderate in- crease in the cost of living.” This week the free dollar went as high as 7.10 pesos each, At present, coffee exporters must sell all of their dollars to the Bank of the Republic at 2.50 each, but the imported equipment and goods they require are paid $800 to $1,000 by scheduled air- lines. —~ =e + rate. | Both the growers and merchants for at the much higher free market | ism. added. Latin American News in Brief in general feel that the exporters should be allowed to sell at least part of their coffee dollars in the free market. NATIONALIST LEADER TAKEN TO HOSPITAL SAN JUAN, P.
