It is evident that Soviet strength, in the alarm- ing proportions it has reached, flourished in the) shadow of very dangerous errors made by Western | statesmen. To these errors is due, basically, the grim | fact that Russia is in control of certain advan-| tageous positions in Europe, because it is well known that her entrance into Germany, for the military when the armies stopped their advance in Germany to give an opportunity to Russia’s military forces to arrive in Berlin. Ae Since that error is considered as the origin,. in great part, of the communist problem in Europe, in particular regarding the German nation, it is convenient that those who are in a position to make) a serene and objective study of this chapter in con- temporary history, do it, so that Western statesmen, the leaders of public opinion of the democratic » countries and the peoples in general, may know .».those errors and the reasons why it was not possible to avoid them, and also why national public opinion could not be expressed then, to show the leaders of international policies the danger there was in hospital in Managua, he died last | night.

The city was founded in the year 1548 by hte Spanish con- quistador, Captain Alonso de Men- doza, who was acting under orders of don Pedro de la Gasca to es- tablish a settlement on the road between Arequipa and Cuzco, in Pert, to Sucre, in Bolivia, as a pro- tection for the rich silver ship- ments in the traffic between those cities. Discovery of rich silver de- posits in Potosi had greatly en- hanced ‘the importance of Bolivia in the eyes of the Conquistadores.

BRAZIL SUGGESTS |A PERMANENT UN POLICE FORCE UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 16— (UP)— Brazil urged today, to members of the United Nations, to have always ready one or two mili- tary units to’ get in action as part of a World Police Force. In an address delivered at the General Assembly, Brazilian Am- bassador, Cyro de Freitas Valle in- dicated that such disposition is contained in the resolution of “unity for peace” approved by the Assembly in 1950, He declared that “the fact that curity in any area in which a threat of aggression would rise or the violation of peace could be im- minent; has contributed in a great measure to the present dis- agreeable state of things which is threatening the very life of all human beings in the world.” He declared that Brazil will sup- port the solution of the Suez Ca- nal problem “which will take in consideration the legitimate in- terests of the users of that inter- national navigation way, but will not violate Egypt sovereignity.” He said that Brazil under no cir- cumstance, “will condone any ac- tion of any kind which will pro- hibit the right to free transit through the camal to any country for any motive, no matter which could it be.

Fred B, Northrup, Washington attorney representing the domestic witness in a two-day Tariff Com- mission hearing on the proposed duty cut. He said any additional reduction on the import rate on Cuban tobac- co means that rate reductions will “have to be considered on others,” and said the domestic growers “cannot stand any additional im- port pressure.” The hearing was held in prepara- tion for the negotiation of a new trade agreement with Cuba under the reciprocal trade agreements program.

We took advantage of the visit of the outstanding Central Ameri- can’ statesman and journalist of renawn achievements, to obtain a few statements which, for its con- tents, and coming from Otilio Ula- te, are of great interest for our the distinguished Central-Ame- rican colleague, whose generous final words, regarding THE AME- RICAS DAILY, make us feel deep- ly grateful and which we receive as encouraging words from one of the most outstanding values of the Lat- in American democracy and journ- alism. “From the Annual Assembly |held by IAPA in Havana, I bring the impression that, although it accomplished its task with dignity, its Constituent Charter is begin nin to need its modification in accordance with experiencies gain- ed during the twelve years of exist- ence of the Association and with the new currents of the era. “It seems to me, also, that there should be greater interest by the Latin American press to attend these Assemblies and to parti- cipate assiduously in its activities. “We, Latin Americans, need IA PA more than the United States newspapermen, as there press free- dom never suffers blackouts nor which weights on the rest of the - peoples of the Hemisphere and, if the Latin Americans do not car- ry on the directive functions of IAPA, sharing tt with the North American sector, it is their own fault for their Indifference and lack of constancy in the effort. It would be very convenient that, wihin the organism, a Latin Ame- rican bloc would be established and that the function of IAPA be rais- ed to the serene region of prin- ciples, without contamination from the internal policies og any State, either if the influence will come from the side of the governments or from the oppositions. that the serious situation the world’ is facing, which have so many diverse complications, may assign to IAPA a very important function, in relation with human rights. ~ “T have suggested to the Presi- dent of the Association in Havana, Dr. Guillermo Martinez Marquez,-a meeting of consultation of the: di- rective organisms of the corpora- tion, — proposing the city of Mia- mi as the site for it, because this city is of easier reaching by many of the newspapermen — with the purpose of considering our seli- darity' and backing to the United States in the earnest desire they have to maintain peace in the Hem- isphere and to intensify the strug- _ gle for democracy and against com- munism which is, at this moment, the bigger danger for all free men. “T take advantage of the oppor- tunity offered me by the questions I am asked, to-be grateful for the position taken by THE AMERI- CAS DAILY in regard to the Lat- in Americans that pass by this city ‘ .

Therefore, it is necessary to assume an adequate attitude of vigildnce so that the citizens in general, and the leaders in particular, may cooperate with the Government in throwing jight upon the problems and avoid errors of such magnitude which may be almost irreparable. In a democracy such as the United States, pu- blic opinion exercises undeniable influence in the Administration, and that right consecrated by the political freedom of the people, should be exercised wisely, with order and a high sense of patriotism, in a plan of honest cooperation with the men who have the responsibility of directing in Washington the foreign policy of the United States, so closely tied up now to the fate and destiny of humanity.

The church of San Francisco, built in the 18th. century, still retains its colonial richness from the finely carved outer facade to the beauti- ful altars within.

It has been said that “when you visit La Paz it is like looking at the world through a technicolor came- ra.” La Paz is surrounded by many interesting and beautiful spots, all at a short distance from the cen- ter of the city. . .There is, for in- stance, the interesting town of Co- Pacabana, 88 miles away and at an altitude of 12,552 feet aobve sea level; on Lake Titicaca, the | world’s highest navigable lake.

Except for the rainy season, which lasts from December trhough March, the climate of La Paz is consistently clear and cool. The winter months, which are June, July and August, are generally con- sidered the most pleasant. The sun shines brilliantly during most of the days of the year, and the nights are at times very cold, but snow is rare .Fall and winter cloth- ing are worn the year around in La Paz, because of the cool tem- perature, Topcoats are needed at night throughout the year. Be- cause of La Paz’ high altitude, visitors are warned to avaid undue physical exertion, such as running, HAVANA, Nov. 16 —(Special to THE AMERICAS DAILY) — Sen- sational revelations of the Presi- dent of the Republic General Ful- gencio Batista, regarding the re- cent national events and the de- nounced plans of Trujillist inva- sion of Cuba, have been announc- ed. Government Premier, Dr. Gar- cia Montes, declared, answering questions put up to him in regard with the police charges about pos- sibilities of a Trujillist invasion, that there are “evident prepara- tions of invasion and the creation of disorders; but, as the saying goes: from words to deeds there is great distance”, The Premier did not want to add anything, else telling newspapermen to wait for the declarations of the Chief Exec- utive Saturday morning. Secretary of the Presidency, Dr. Andrés Domingo, said at noon to- day that General Batista will call a press conference Saturday morn-| ing to answer the questionaire de- livered to him by the Palace news- papermen as well as any other questions asked him during the conference. The questionaire contains the following questions: If it is not feared that, in case of a Trujillist invasion of our coasts, it could cause public disorders; if he be- lieves the Dominican Republic gov- ernment has intention of backing invasions of the Oriente Province and, in that case, if the Cuban Government would appeal to the Organization of American States or to the United Nations; if the death of Colonel Blanco Rico has any re- lation with the Trujillist conspira- ley. j Also about the possible involve- ment of diplomatic functionaries in the recent events and, in gen- eral, if there will be alteration of the electoral plans, drawn by the charges about the Trujillist con- spiration and the responsibility that General Rafael Leonidas Truji- llo may -have in this maneouvers against Cuba. government, in view of the official: Northrup said low figures for current stocks of American grown wrapper are misleading, since manufacturers have recent- ly changed their inventory prac- tices so that they hold in stock a larger supply. While, therefore, it looks as if the current stock is not excessive, it actually amounts to appro- ximately an 18 months supply in- cluding manufacturers’. inventories he said. Leon Singer, General Counsel of the Cigar Manufacturers Associa- tion, was the last witness and urg- ed approval of the proposed reduc- tion. At. present, he said, domestic manufacturers must pay $1.34 a pound for the poorest grade Cuban tobacco while the best grade of Puerto Rican tobacco sells for $1.20 a pound. evidently desinterested and is in- spired on the principal concept that the struggle for freedom of the press ia a democratic principle, which safeguard and defense rest on the shoulders of all free men. But they do not have the menace that I do not. have, for all of which I have to declare that it is more simpathy than justice.
