Fla. %. 1956, on February EDITORIAL THE IAPA AND LATIN AMERICAN JOURNALISTS The ex President of Costa Rica, Otilio Ulate, has wisely pointed out in an interview with THE AMERICAS DAILY, that Latin America needs IAPA more than the United States does, regarding defense of freedem of the press. Evidently, in the United States, there is a fundamental respect for the press, without this meaning, of course, that in this country newspaper- men do not have certain limitations, within orderly procedure, or that they cannot be accused here when, in the exercise of their profession, they violate the law. ponds in every democratic country, accusations against them can be brought by civilians and govern- ment officials wishing to do so, And those courts, which are really independent, and do not obey party - instructions and disregard pressure from those in government, pass judgment on the cases before them, and sentence or acquit according to their conscience and following the technique regulating those mat- ters. For that reason, U. S. newspapermen have no need of IAPA regarding their guarantees, because the democratic institutions of their country give them all the safety they need. Naturally, this is the case only because those institutions function with the fairness and sobriety required. May the day come when IAPA would not have te concern itself so much with problems of press freedom in Latin America, although it may have “to maintain its attitude of vigilance to defend that tight, that freedom, so essencial to the democratic life of ‘nations. The defense of press freedom is one of the many ‘missions of this continental organization. For this reason, when the crisis of the struggle to enforce said freedom is over, then IAPA. will dedicate greater efforts to comply with other and transcen- dental items in its working program for the bettter- ment of moral, intellectual and material quality of American jornalism, labor in which the Inter Amer- ican Press Association has been engaged for many years. ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF PUERTO RICO’S DISCOVERY Tomorrow, November 19th, the people of Puerto Rico will commemorate one more anniversary of the liscovery of that beautiful island, by the immortal Admiral. Christopher Columbus, in the year 1493. On this occasion, as it is traditional in Puerto Rico, the whole population of that country will eommemorate, in different ways, this glorious date of great historical significance for that nation which, with the passing of time, after the discovery, has represented much in Spanish American culture and spirituality. On the eve of the anniversary of Columbus arrival to Puerto Rico, bringing to the island the Christian ways of living and civilization, THE AME- RICAS DAILY pays homage to the Puerto Rican people, and especially to the distinguished and fumerous representation in Miami, which has con- tributed to the aggrandizement and progress of this city, CHARTER OF THE ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES .

WIN PENDLETON PICKING UP THE PIECES — You sure do see a lot of Eisenhow- er-Nixon bumper strips these days. We don’t known how it was in your neighborhood, but where we jlive they seemed to blossom out |the day after the election — just |like spring flowers. Another strange thing we have noticed the past week is the large number of our friends who knew jall the time exactly how the | whole thing was coming out. Only We can’t remember hearing any of their wonderful predictions “be- fore” election day. Then, they were just looking wise, saying “anything can happen” and “It wouldn’t surprise me, either way” and “watch that silent vote” and other such trivia, Most-of the time they were merely driving a few nails in the wall to be used in case they might need a hook to hang an alibi on — come Wednes- | day morning. It seems we were alone in think- ing that the Democrats had a chance. It’s true we put most of our faith om figuring that the De- mocrats would win the Congress — and that always in modern times, the presidential voting has follow- ed the congressional trend. (It did- eee that way this time, did it? And it didn’t work the other way either. President Eisenhower’s coat-tails weren’t long enough or strong enough to drag all of his little “favorites” in with him. Oh, it’s true we were among the millions who suddenly saw the Egypt. But, there’s no credit in end when Israel marched into that. Anybody can score a race when the lead man has “lapped” his nearest rival. We were in Texas those last few days, Late one night, after we had made a “principal address” we were having coffee in the home of. our host. A few friends had been invited over to meet the “speaker.” This was Texas — where the Democrats had regained their strength. We decided to have some fun — a straw vote. Twelve persons in the room, And twelve hands | Went up for President Eisenhower | They looked a bit surprised them- |selves. And everyone a Democrat, So, what does it prove? Only two things are certain First, President Eisenhower re |ceived more votes than Stevenson. |Second, more Democrats were elected to the Congress than Re- publicans, Does this mean that the Demo- eratic party still is the dominant party and that President LKisen- hower was elected “in spite” of be- ing a Republican? or does this open a new era in | American Politics, where any can- | didate can be elected on personal popularity — or advertising? If this is true — and if you carry it down to the local level — it could ™mean a break down of the party system as we know it. A candidate would run with a party label in order to get his fame on the ballot. But from there on it would become a matter of “soap selling” as the Madison Ave- nue advertising men have been say- ing it is. Those fancy-dans in their grey flannel.suits have been using this technique in publicizing Pre- sident Eisenhower and the Repub- lican party for the past four years, Did it work? Or would Mr. Eisen- hower have won anyway? The answer to that one will keep the experts busy for awhile. And Washington publicists and public relations men can be expected to make the most of it.

Salk vaccine shipments - program was going according to schedule. The U. S. Department of Com- merce last month granted Argen- tina export permits for 500,000 units of the vaccine. This brought the total units granted to Argenti- na by the United States since its quota was lifted in August to 1,’ 583,000. Commerce Department officials at the time told the United Press that Argentina had been granted additional units because of “the effective Salk vaccine: program operating there.” The United Press reported recently Argentina is seeking 1,000,000 more Salk vac- cine units.

These declarations were made by the Chief Executive at a-Press Con- ference, in which he answered the questionaire handed to him by the Palace reporters. Batista said also that public or- der will not be altered on account of these perturbing attempts and neither will there be invasion by what it had been called insurrec- tional elements. At the same time he assured that, in case of an attack to the na- tion by Trujillist elements, the Government would repel the agres- sion with all the resources it has on hand, without any need of moviliz- ing the citizenry and that, similarly the Government would appeal to International Organisms, as the Or- ganization of American States and to the United Nations Organization. Answering further questions, he affirmed that the criminal at- tempts in which Colonel Blanco Ri- co, Head of the Military Intelligen- ce Service and General Salas Cafii- zares, Chief of the National Police, lost their lives, were part of a plan to create difficulties to the Govern- ment. Regarding the electoral process, |he said that the Government con- tinues taken the necessary firm steps to reach the elections with the plan already drawn. OPPOSITION LEADERS MAKE DECLARATIONS In regard to the official denun- ciation of a possible Trujillist in- vasion of Cuba and the editorial of the magazine “Bohemia,” in which Fidel Castro was called on to abandon his insurrectional at- titude at the present moment, as it could coincide with the Dominican Republic government purposes; the leaders of the opposition parties made different statements.

Mrs. Ramon Grau San Martin, ex President of the Republic and leader of the Authentic Party_and Pelayo Cuervo Navarro, leader of the Histuric Ortodox Party, both agreed in that, to ask the insur- rects to abandon their attitude, Cu- ban political conditions should be improved. Also they belittled the importance and scope of the con- flict with Trujillo, r The Ortodox faction led by Emilio Ochoa and the national revolucionaries of Pardo Llada dl- ready made declarations agreeing to the Trujillist danger and point- ing out that they would be ready to face it. Carlos Marquez Sterling, leader of one of the four ortodox branches affirmed that his opinion is that Fidel Castro should abandon his insurrectional activities at this time in which Cuba lives under the menace of Trujillo invasion, while Senator Ratil Lorenzo said that “Bohemia” interpreted the feelings of the Cubans who wants to avoid an internal belligerent explosion but believing that the road to peace is not closed yet.
