Those serving here in government agencies, whether federal, state, or municipal, enjoy multiple guarantees, which not only stimulate them in the) discharge of their respective duties, but makes) easier for them, as well as requesting from them, to stay out of politics regarding the discharge of those | publie functions. The fact that a person has an official position, no matter what the rank may be within the Civil Service, does not mean that such person belongs to the political party in power, and even less that such person is at the personal service of officials having positions of political character, nor that they serve to satisfy tendencies and whims of those currently in the governmert. Those employees are loyal servants of the Fede- ral, State or Municipal Government, that is, they are at the service of the community and not of a party or a man, or group of men, directing the administration. Perhaps in the ranks of federal employees there is a more strict observance of the guarantees they have on the stability of their jobs, as long as they perform their duty. Those employees may be at the service of a democratic or a republican regime, without their personal political opinion, which they freely express at the polls, having any influence in the performance of their duties. As citizens they may disagree with the policies of government lea- ders, but as public officials or employees they work with honesty and sobriety within the Administra- tion. All this contributes to the triumph of genuine democracy in the United States, because that system prevents those in the highest political positions of Government from getting unconditional submission, whether for party discipline or fear, from those under their jurisdiction. Because when that submis- sion exists, whatever the cause may be, the power of those governing grows out of proportion, giving way to administrative abuses and anti-democratic arbitrariness. The enormous official machinery of the State is then put at the service of a man or group of men, and in the country the citizens cannot do, within their rights, anything contrary to the per- sonal and political interests of those in high Govern- ment positions, CHARTER OF THE ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES ARTICLE 83 The Pan American Union shall also perform the following functions: a) Transmit ex officio to Member States the convocation to the Inter- American Conference, the Meeting of Consultation of Ministers of Foreign Affairs, and the Specialized Conferences; Advise the Council and its organs in the preparation of programs and regulations of the Inter-American Conference, the Meeting of Consultation of Ministers of Foreign Affairs, and the Special- ized Conferences; Place, to the extent of its ability, at the disposal of the Govern- ment of the country where a conference is to be held, the tech- nical aid and personnel which such Government may request; Serve as custodian of the documents and archives of the Inter- American Conference, of the Meeting of Consultation of Ministers of Foreign Affairs, and, insofar as possible, of the Specialized Conferences; Serve as depository of the instruments of ratification of inter- American agreements; Perform the functions entrusted to it by the Inter-American Conference, and the Meeting of Consultation of Ministers of Foreign Affairs; MEXICO (Continued) — The Indians who inhabited Baja Cali- fornia before the Spanish Conquest did not develop the high degree of civilization reached by the main- land tribes, the Aztecs, Toltecs, and Mayas. These Indians were nomads, hunting and fishing for their main- tainance. The three main tribes on the peninsula, the Pericués, Gua- yeuras and Cochinuées, had no connection with each other, as each though they lived on an is- land, Communications were diffi- cult, so they did not stray far afield. It was not until the arrival of the Spaniards that unity was brought about. In 1526, Hernan Cortés, who had conquered México, sailed from Te- huantepec, on a voyage of explora- tion. He sailed around the main- land, and touched at-Baja Califor- nia, which he called “Calida For- nax” (Hot Furnace). Although on- ly the deserts have an oven-like climate, the name stuck, and this land became California. In 1540, an- others expedition was sent out for the conquest of the peninsula, but failed to subdue the tribes. Various expeditions followed, un- til, in 1636, Esteban Carbonelli landed at Mulegé and discovered that pearl-fishing was an ancient industry there. The news spread rapidly, and within the year Baja California was overrun with adventurers and treasure hunter. They were accompani- ed by Firars of the “Com- pafifa de Jesus.” The peninsula’s first capital was Loreto, on the east coast, and the first mission was founded there in 1695. Later, in 1830, La Paz was made the capital of the whole territory, which included what is now the State of Baja California and the State of California in the United States. Mulegé is located near Concep- cién Bay, the point where Carbo- nell landed in 1636 and discovered that pearl-fishing was and ancient art. It was from this point that the Spaniards invaded the interior of the peninsula. All along this route, ancient missions may be seen. In the districts of Mulegé, Comondu, Loreto, and San Luis, there are rich copper deposits, which are one of the world’s chief sources of this metal. Found also are mica, iron, tin, gypsum, marble, and alabaster. North of Mulegé, in Santa trudis, immense deposits of gold were discovered in 1884, and also a fantastic solid mountain of iron. La Paz, facing La Paz Bay, capi-| tal of the Territory of Baja Cali-/ fornia, is one of the peninsula’s! most important cities. This is one | of the three greatest pearl-ishing | centers in the world, the most im- portant one in the Pacific coast of the Americas. The city has good hotels and restaurants, and lovely tropical houses covered with bright flowers. La Paz is a fine port and has a splendid airport. Not only are there superb water sports in La Paz, but the nearby region is full of small and picturesque re- sorts, including Las Cruces, Los Planes, Ensenada de los Muertos, and more to the south, numerous coastal towns. In the municipalities of La Paz, El Triunfo. and San Antonio, the mountains contain rich deposits of gold, iron and other minerals. La Paz is easily reached by boat or plane from México’s mainland. La Paz Bay was once a hideout for buccaneers, and the southeast winds are still named in honor of the notorious Cromwell, Not on- ly is fishing a specialty of La Paz, but the nearby hills offer hunting for quail, duck, wildcat, and deer. Las Cruces, and: hacienda 15 miles from La Paz, on the Gulf shore, has wonderful picnic grounds among mango and other tropical fruit groves, Spanish Version Page 3 a better understanding MIAMI SPRINGS, FLA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1956 Thee Cubans Arrested in México with Arms for inst Batista three Cubans whose names have not been revealed, It is believed, however, that the arrested are connected with ex- President Carlos Prio Socarras and | Dr. Fidel Castro Ruz.

PROPOSAL ON SUEZ CANAL UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 23 — (UP) Panama’s Foreign Minister Aquilino Boyd spoke on the Mid- dle East debate today endorsing the U. S. proposal advanced earlier this week that the Assembly set up a commission to work out an agreement with Egypt and the Us- ers Association for a speedy re- opening of the Canal. Boyd expressed regret for Pa- naméa’s exclusion from the London Users Conference and emphasized the similarities between the Suez and Panama canals. “Just as Egypt unquestionably holds sovereign rights over the Suez Canal, he said, “The Panama Canal was built in Panamanian territory and therefore Panama has sovereign rights in spite of the fact that it ceded to the United States rights for main- tenance, operation and protection of the canal”, He said the U. S. Panamanian Treaty contained similar regulations to the 1888 Con- vention on the Suez Canal. He also noted that Panama ranks sixth in world merchant marine size and is one of the main users of the Suez Canal. “It is the hope of Panama,” he said, “that despite its exclusion from the London Conference, due regard will be paid to the justified claims of Panama to be a member of any commission studying the Suez Canal question.” Traffic Hazard HAVANA, Nov. 23 (Special to THE AMERICAS DAILY). — Mo- torist Enrique Reyes was sentenced to a fine of $40.00 by one of the correctional judges of this city, for steering his car with one hand only while his other arm was embracing a girl riding with him.

HAVANA, Nov. 23—(UP)— Sen- ator Andrés Rivero Agiiero, ‘leader of the government majority in the Senate, affirmed that, if the Dom- inican Republic would dare to at- tack Havana, the Cuban Air Force would destroy Ciudad Trujillo, Rivero Agiiero, who claims to be spokesman for President Batis- ta’s party, made declarations to the Press at the Presidential Palace, peer talking with the Chief Execu- ive. The Senator said that his de- clarations were justified by the fact that, according to what the techni- cians of the Cuban Army pointed out to him, Havana is four hours flight from the Dominican Repub- lie, while Ciudad Trujillo is situat- ed only 36 minutes from Orient Province, where Cuba has impor- ant military posts. Rivero Aguero ridiculized the au- gurs of invasion by mercenary for- ces stationed in the Dominican Re- public, and assured that, even if there were five or six thousand men engaged in the invasion, the Cuban army “would take good care of them.” Puerto Rican Group Honors Our Editor, Dr. H.

A government communique said Gen, Leén Bengoa and Gen. Juan José Uranga were arrested with a group of plotters outside a military barraks. in a dawn raid by a mili- tary patrol. Shortly afterward, the govern- ment announced the ouster of four top army leaders, including the commander-in-chief, Gen Francis- co Zerda. Army Minister Gen. Ar- turio Ossorio Arana personally took over the commander-in-chief’s job. fi It was announced that both Ben- goa and Uranga were armed when ed outside the Palermo army bar- racks in suburban Buenos Aires. Both generals played prominent roles in the revolution that toppled former President Juan D. Perén and had held high posts in the first government of the late president Gen. Eduardo Lonardi. But Bengoa and Uranga sided with the Nationalist Catholic move ment which favored lenieny to former Peronistas, They fell out with the present government of President Pedro E. Aramburu and both men had been arrested pre- viously. ' President Aramburu, in a speech two days ago, warned the govern- ment would take “strong measures” against all those who plot against the government. In announcing the army shake- up, the Army Ministry said it had no connection with the arrests of the two generals.

Brazilian Autos Placed in Market SAO PAULO, Brazil —(UP)— Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek and Sao Paulo State Gov. Janio Quadros, formally placed in the market the first DKW-Vemag au- tomobiles manufactured in Brazil. The local DKW-Vemag plant is wholly Brazilian-owned but will produce DKW vehicles under an agreement with the auto union of Dusseldorf, Germany. Under a plan approved by the government, the plant started mak- ing light station wagons, with an initial production of 100 units per month. Later, it will produce jeeps and light delivery trucks,. Today’s development marked the second recent step in the crea- tion of a Brazilian automobile in- dustry. A few days ago, President Kubitschek drove the first vehicle from the assembly line of the Mer- cedes-Benz plant at Sao Bernardo do Campo, near Sao Paulo. It was a 6 1-2 ton truck powered by a six- cylinder 100 H. P. Diesel engine.

WASHINGTON —(UP)— _ Ex- pansion of Brazilian agriculture production is one of the major goals of the Kubitschek Adminis- tration, according to an annual re- port to the United States Agricul- ture Department. This report from Rio de-Janeiro, obtained exclusively by the United Press, said that agricultural price supports, increased farm credit, technical advances, farm mechani- zation and improvement of market- ing facilities are the chief features of the Brazilian farm program.

The railway company recently reduced its rates both for local freight moved. on its Pacific coast division and for foreign shipments arriving at Pacific Coast ports. The company also restablished door-to-door pick-up and delivery service using local truckers and charging five cents per 100 pounds. The railway reduced its rates in an effort to recapture traffic lost to truck transportation, particu- larly in recent years which have been marked by extensive road construction and improvement. Local, trucking firms, grouped in the Asociacién de Transportistas de Importacién, ran ads in Guate- malan newspapers protesting the rate reduction as contrary to the national interest.

Decreases in Brazilian imports between 1955 and 1956 were es- timated as follows, in metric tons; wheat, 200,000; barley, 30,500; on- ions, 18,000; oats, 4,000; Irish po- tatoes 3,000 and garlic 2,000, Ex- pected increases of imports were: tobacco, 22,000 metric tons, and corn, 10,000. The report anticipated that in 1957 Brazilian imports of agricul- tural products will continue to de- cline relative to total imports, and that agricultural exports will in- crease relative to agricultural im- Ports.
