Fla. on Febrnary & 1056. 9g ASE RETR BL aE SRL He RS TREN EDITORIAL EISENHOWER’S NAME AND THE POLICIES OF THE ADMINISTRATION There are many reasons to believe that, in the) elections of Nov. 6, General Eisenhower won because of what he represents, both as a man and asa} statesman, more than because of the support the) Republican Party may have in the country. There| must have been some. of course, who fundamentally voted according te party lines, but, without a doubt, the personality of the candidate was the most decisive fact, at least in reaching the proportions} the victory achieved. It is evident that Eisenhower occupies a very importante place in the conscience of the people. He is considered capable and, above all, he is respected for his goodness and honesty. Although the President possesses that well | earned prestige, his name merges within the public| administration, both in national and international matters, for the Government to assume, as repre-| sentative of the State, the responsibilities of victo-| ries and errors. Of course, this does not mean that the name of President Eisenhower is not mentioned prominently and that, in many cases, the public debate on government decisions does not refer— without incurring in exaggerations—to his person. To the sobriety in the functioning of the re- publican system in this great democracy is due, basically, the fact that the name of the President of the Republic does not monopolize, to put it that way, the development of national and international policies of the country. Very often the names of high officials in the Cabinet are mentioned as responsible for those policies and, naturally, those mentions include the Congress, which plays a trans-|: cendental role in the life of the Nation. During the last years the United States Con- gress has been integrated with a majority of the opposition party. And in Congress, without pres- sure other than that which is possible within the free play of democracy, Senators and Representatives have created the legal instruments with which the Executive Power, in charge of the Republican Party, has carried on the Administration. All this procedure is what determines the limitations of influence in the political and administrative life of the Nation by a lone individual, even if there is one that, as General Eisenhower, has had the immense moral satisfaction of knowing that, above party banner ties, he counts with a strong popular backing. In the United States the Republic functions within an adequate and technical equilibrium of powers and, above personal interests or given names, the institutions prevail, CHARTER OF THE ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES ARTICLE 74 To this end the principal functions of the Council shall be: To sponsor inter-American cultural activities; To collect and supply information on cultural activities carried on in and among the American States by private and official agencies both national and international in character; To promote the adoption of basic educational programs adapted to the needs of all population groups in the American countries; To promote, in addition, the adoption of special programs. of 4) b) e) qd) training, education and culture for the indigenous groups of the} American countries; e) cultural heritage of the continent; To promote cooperation among the American nations in the fields of education, science and culture, by means of the exchange of materials for research and study, as well as the exchange of teachers, students, specialists and, in general, such other persons and materials as are useful for the realization of these ends; To encourage the education of the peoples for harmonious inter- national relations; To carry on such other activities as may be assigned to it by the Inter-American Conference, the Meeting of Consultation of Ministers of Foreign Affairs, or the Council of the Organization. f) 8) h) ARTICLE 75 The Inter-American Cultural Council shall determine the place of its next meeting and shall be convened by the Council of the Organiza- tion on the date chosen by the latter in agreement with the Govern- ment of the country selected as the seat of the meeting.

They are the members of “Latin | American Tournalist Project-Group Ill (1956), making the tour under | the auspices of the International |Exchange Service, United States Department of State. The primary objective of the} tour was to give them an op-| portunity. -to study the political scene in the United States during election time, which they did, and to acquaint themselves with the political inclinations of several seg- ments of population as well as KNOW THY NEIGHBOR By ANTONIO RUIZ ARGENTINA—(Continued) Speeding over the pampas from | Buenos Aires to Mendoza in aj} luxurious express train, today’s tra- | velers find it hard to believe that less than a century ago this same journey was an arduous and peri- lous trek of more than two weeks, made in high-wheeled “galeras,” or covered ‘wagons, in constant dan- ger of attacks from Indians and bandits. About all that remains un- changed on the pampas today, are the squat ‘‘ombues,” purple thistle, and the “pampero,” wild wind which. whips the grasslands into turbulent motion. ‘i Gone are the old-time gauchos, \those nomadic plainsmen of Span- ish or mestizo blood, who rode like the wind-untamed, like the wild horses and cattle they hunted with their “boleadoras,” a type of lasso originated by the Indians, with two weighted ends. Theirs was a hard life and a lonely one; their’ only bed the wide “recado” or saddle, and their blanket, the inseparable poncho. Their daily fare was “car- ne asada” (grilled fresh beef) and “mate”, Paraguayan tea which is sipped through a silver tube from a hollowed gourd. More “at home” in the saddle than out of it, they could ride 100 miles in twelve hours on their small but strong horses. These trail blazers of the plain, bronco. busters and rangers were also valiant fighters. In the war for independence, gaucho cavalry helped defeat the Spaniadrds. They fought off. the Indians also, and made the. pampas their domain. With a-passion for liberty and in defiance of authority, they fought on to preserve their own freedom against the civilizing and unifying influences of Buenos Aires and other cities. But the proud plains- men fought a losing battle, against the divison of the free land into immense “estancias,” against bar- ber-wire fences and railroads, hordes of farm immigrants from Europe, and the political authority of the Nation. The gaucho has pass- ed into legend, but his martial and {romantic spirit is immortalized in literature, dances, and music, com- prising Argentina’s most fascinat- ing folklore. The modern gauchos, or cow- joys, One sees on the estancias to- day, preserve the tipical costume of their predecessors, the baggy “bombachas” or wide pants, short boots and spurs, black felt som- brero and poncho, Likewise, they are magnificent riders, skillful with the lasso and in the handling of cattle. They have their “asa- dos” or barbecues and their “‘fies- tas, where one may hear the tango, | the “vidalita” and the those melancholy love songs which long ago took their melody and | rhythm from the loneliness of the pampas and the loping gait of gau- cho horses. Argentina’s domestic transporta- tion facilities-including airlines, railroads, buses and steamship lines — are the most extensive in South America. Modern equip- ment is being bought now to re- store comfortable transportation to any part of the country. All main routes radiate from Buenos Aires. The five principal railroads, government owned, connect the chief cities and resorts of each Province with Buenos Aires. Total- ling about 30,000 miles of track, the country’s railway network is mainly concentrated in the pro- vinces of Buenos Aires, Cordoba and Santa Fe, Southern Patagonia, the territories of Chubut and Santa Cruz, is the only. section of the country not connected. by rail with the national capital.

The statement was issued after a| meeting with the ministers of War, Navy and Aviation.

At the same time the Dominican Republic said that Cuba has made a veiled threat against her and that | she will reject in a fulminant man- ner any attempt of aggression be- | sides bringing the case before the proper organisms of the Interame- rican Collective Security System. Batista also said on Saturday that “the passenger lists of the Air- lines show the flow of Cuban re- volutionaries and foreign mercen- aries toward Ciudad Trujillo. Also he said that the assassina- tions of Colonel Blaneo Rico and Brigadier General Salas Cafizares, were “directed from foreign soil.” A spokesman of the Dominican Information Service, qualified as “a bellicose threat” these declara- tions, “The atmosphere of collective hysteria prevalent in Cuba — the spokeman said — is producing the higher aberrations within the Cu- ban regime circles. Whatever fears the Cuban Administration could have on the possibility of a revolu- tionary movement in Cuba, the ori- gin of the movement would not come from foreign soil and least of all from the Dominican Repu- blic.” “Its origin emanates — affirmed the spokesman — from the alter- natives of demagoguery and dic- tatorship which characterizes the present Cuban political situation.” The spokesman also said: “The international political difficulties which the Batist regime is facing are due to the abdication of re- sponsibility by the Cuban Chief Executive, who has left the foreign policy leadership to Senator Ro- Jando Masferrer.” “With the aquiescence of the Ex- ecutive, Masferrer has made with the subversive self-exiled elements | (UP)— The Dominican Republic } Member Inter American Press Association For Liberty, Culture and Hemispheric seen? i iM er SORTS Dominican Govt.

The revolutionary leader told the reporter that it is perfidious to accuse the movement he directs of complicity with Tru- jillo, but admitted that the Trujil- list movement against Cuba is evi- dent, with the cooperation of na- tional gangsters. He added that he does not believe that Prio has any connection with General Trujillo and that if the government wants ment would put an end to its in- surrectional attitude. Fidel Castro, when interviewed at an undisclosed place of the Me- xican coast, said the insistence of the spokesmen of the regime in accusing his movement of compli- city with Trujillo’s government was repulsive, as their position has been made clear. He denied his men visited the Dominican Repub- lie or had contacts with Trujillists agents and assured that the move- ment of Trujillist penetration in Cuba will suffer a severe knock to find solutions it should accept a formula, on a national level, in| which case the 26 of July Move- Latin American News in Brief tion of American States.

FIREWOKES FATAL TO COLOMBIANS BOGOTA, Colombia —(UP) — Nine persons, including six chil- dren were killed by a fireworks explosion. The blast leveled three workers homes in the Barrio Inglés, or Eng- lish District of Bogota. Police believed that powder be- ing used in making fireworks for the Christmas and New Years holi- days was touched off. The ages of the dead children ranged from 15 days to 9 years. CHILEAN MINERS REVERSE DECISION SANTIAGO, Chile —(UP)—The when “Bohemia” magazine pub- lishes proofs presented by him against General Trujillo. These \proofs have been obtained by the self and announced its workers at the huge Anaconda Company’s Chuquicamata mine would again accept overtime and Sunday work. On Nov. 8, the union announced its Chuquicamata workers would accept work only two Sundays every montha nd would refuse all other holiday and overtime work. The- Anaconda Company had estimated refusal of overtime and holiday work would result in a 15 per ‘cent reduction in Chuquicama- ta production, which last month set a record of 50 million pounds of refined copper.

Trujillist Menace to Cuba Evident Revolutionary Leader Castro Says men of the 26 of July Movement, spying on the movements of. Tru« jillist agents and using on some occassions drastic methods. He said that the Trujillist men- ace is evident and put the blame on the government for the present situation which, he said, it did not confront from the beginning.. In- stead, the government started” to accuse all its enemies of being Trujillists. Trujillo knows that the revolution in power would arm all the Dominican revolutionaries against him. He assured that if the 26 of July Movement wins power it will eliminate all the gangsters under orders from Trujillo and:said that Policarpo Soler and Jestis Gon zalez Cartas (alias) El Extrafio, who are included in this case, had not fired a shot against the Cuban dictatorship since the 10th. of March. He continued saying that his or- ganization believes the only Cuban sqlution is the revolution; but, if a decorous formula of national unity were reached, they would abandon that attitude. The basis for the solution would be that Batista should hand over the presidency to a person who would inspire confidence to all Cubans; general elections within 90 days; rupture of relations with the Dominican Republic; docum- mented denunciation to the OAS of the prepared aggression; free- dom -and reinstatement in their former posts of Colonel Barquin, Major Borbonet and other officers fired from the armed forces in April; political and social. amnes- ty and movilization of the country, for national defense. He ended underlining that if, i a term of two weeks, no solution formula has been reached, he and his men would consider themselvet free to start the struggle, but that, if during that period the Trujillist invasion would materialize, they would be ready to call a truce and turn their weapons against the invaders,
