EDITORIAL INTRANSIGENCE IN ‘THE ANALYSIS OF POLITICAL Frequent are the occasions in which the political problems of the countries, in particular the Latin | : American countries, cannot be solved in a satisfac-| PROBLEMS tory manner due to the intransigence in the part of those who analyze those problems and have certain influence in the community. With the purpose of having everything perfect in some cases, and a great desire of being inflexible in others, great opportunities are lost, which would solve, at least in part, the political crisis of the community, if advantage was taken of them. For a better understanding between the Americas MIAMI SPRINGS, FLA., TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1956 Eduardo Santos Awarded Prize for C ontribution to Hemisphere Democracy NEW YORK, Dec. 10 (UP) — An announcement of the Inter American Association Pro Demo- eracy and Liberty said that Dr. Eduardo Santos, ex President of KNOW THY NEIGHBOR By ANTONIO RUIZ | MEXICO.— On a picturesque va- |lley, about 5.000 feet above sea | level, ‘surrounded by majestic Since in the political process of a country mountains, was the city of Cuauh- multiple human factors intervene, it is only logical to accept human imperfection.

With an ortodox and rigid criterion which, in| some cases, is supported by elements who cannot) stand up to an analysis of the honesty of th tentions, the collective understanding which may} save an era, may solve a eir in- crisis in the political life of a nation, is made more difficult. For the Latin American countries, as well as) for any others, it is beneficial that whatever is sup- ported by the majority, even if it is in very few | points, should be advanced, made to progress and succeed. But, to achieve that, it is necessary to have| some flexibility in the way of thinking, which should break the concept of having the whole or nothing. History is full of examples of failures in move- ments which, because of extreme intransigence, | have not been able to crystallize into reality and) accomplish their healthy political mission within) the life of the country. Political life has its due process, and within that process the opportune moments for the triumph of | an idea or a program, must arrive. But to wait for that opportune moment, some times a great patience is required, as well as an attitude of conciliation, of catechization, of a special way of thinking which permits reaching the goal, even through it is not reached with great speed. And whatever is not achieved in that manner, with intelligence, with human flexibility, cannot be achieved later, at least on a permanent basis. Through violence and _in- transigence, the goal may be reached temporarily, but, after a short time, the triumph, obtained with manifest intolerance, vanishes because it lacks the effective and solid support which is a product of careful consideration, of serene collective acquie- scense. Over Four Million Argentines Register For BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 10 (UP) —More than four million men have registered in the country as the first step in preparation of new and clean electoral lists, for the elections which will take place in 1957, Minister of the Interior, Laurea- no Landaburu announced, after the places for inscription, which re- mained open from ten in the mor- ning to six in the evening, were closed, that 80 per cent of the 5.129,000 males inscribed in the former census, did register again. At the Federal capital the percen- tage was 88, Rosario 89, Cordoba 80, Mendoza 75 and Salta 74, said the Minister. Landaburu added that the great task was achieved in the whole country “with complete normality” and that the aulhorities were well satisfied.” Next Sunday, the ones entitled to do s0, among those who appear- ed in the old poll lists, will be re- gistered. The Minister of the Interior attributed the no appearance of those who were registered in the old list, to dead persons who con- tinued being carried in the re- gisters, duplicity in the inscrip- tions, persons traveling or secluded in hospital and the members of the armed forces. Special Commissions worked at military barracks, hospitals and points in the highways and, accord- ing to Landaburu, once their re- 1957 Elections ports are known, the percentage of the re-inscription will increase. OFFICIALS CONFIRM TWO ELECTIONS CORDOBA, Dec. 10 (UP) — Interior Minister Laureano Landa- buru declared that a decree of the Provisional Government convoking to elections for a Constituent Assembly will be issued soon, and that points of the Constitution which must be reformed will be stated. Landaburu pointed out, however, that the convention will be able/ to rectify or ratify the points in question. The normal procedure is that the Congress, when deciding to convoke to the Assembly, states the points of reform, and consti- tuents cannot deviate from them. Meanwhile, the Vice President of the Republic, Real Admiral Isaac Rojas, joined the other prominent spokesmen of the Government who have confirmed that the Provisio- nal Government has the intention to. convoke to two elections next year, The first will be to elect a Constituent Assembly which will reform the Constitution of 1853; the second will be to elect a Cons- titutional Government. The Vice President made the statement at a press conference in the Aviation School, in which he was with Air Minister Julio Cesar Krause and War Minister Arturo Ossorio Arana, participating in cer- emonies of delivering the diplomas |nahuac, capital of the Tlahuica | Kingdom. Today it is the progres- |sive city of Cuernavaca, capital of |the State of Morelos, a favorite jsite of recreation since pre-His- |panic times. This delightful city, | which has a semi-tropical climate, is connected with the Capital of | the Republic by a magnificent su- |perhighway and one can drive! |there in only fifty minutes from | Before the arrival of the Spanish |conquistadores, Cuauhnahuac was one of the most important native cities. The ruins of Teonpanzol- co and those of Tepoztlan are clear |evidence of the high degree of |civilization that the surrounding region had achieved. After the con- quest of México by Hernan Cor- tés, the Spaniards changed the na- me of the city to Cuernavaca, be- cause they believed the indigenous sounded just like that in Spanish. Cortés built in the old Tlahuica capital a magnificent palace, which now houses the Government of the State of Morelos. The Spanish Crown granted Cor- tés rights of possession over Cuer- navaca, in recongnition of all his victories and conquests. It was thus that he owned this city, among many other possessions granted to him. Charmed with the mildness of the climate and the great va- riety of flowers of bright and beautiful colors, Cortés established his favorite residence there. In 1529 he sponsored the foundation of a Franciscan monastery and built a church, helped by the Indians, to whom he allowed to carve Aztec symbols on the stones. This an- cient and artistic temple is now the Cathedral, one of the most interesting buildings in Cuerna- vaca. In 1716, José de la Borda, fa- mous French miner who had al- ready ammassed a great fortune in the mines of Taxco and Zacatecas, was attracted by the mild climate and fhe beautiful flowers, and built a sumptuous mansion in Cuernava- ca, surrounded by exotic and beau- tiful gardens. Much later, the Em- peror Maximilan of Hapsburg and his wife Charlotte Amalie, made of Borda’s house their favorite place for spending the winters, and where they tried to forget the ma- ny problems confronting them and which actually were never solved. Nearby isthe little village of Aca- panzingo, where Emperor Maxi- milian had a small cabin of retreat, which is now almost in ruins. At the palace of Cortés the visitor can admire the marvelous murals de- Picting the Mexican Revolution, painted by Diego Rivera, and a visit can also be made to the Bor- da Gardens, which have preserved their large swiming pool and gar- | dens as beautiful as ever, and are again open to the public. Cuernavaca has become one of the main centers of tourist attrac tion in México.*In its many stores, the visitor can get many objects and materials made by the natives and hand-painted leather articles, straw sandals, huaraches, etc. Al- |so many articles of silver with Indian’ sketches carved in them, which have real artistic value. At a short distance from the Railway Station is the Teopanzol- co pyramid, the last vestige of the Tlahica capital, and about 25 mi- les away are the ruins of Xochi- ealco, of Toltec origin, a city that was prosperous around 1.000 A.D. In Tepoztlan, also at a very short distance from Cuernavaca, one can see the shrine of Tepozteco, the pulque god, and there is a very fine convent in the little town, made famous in the United States by the study of its self-contained eco- nomy made by Stuart, before it be- came a tourist attraction? Near Cuernavaca is the waterfall of St. Antén, surrounded by high, green mountains, in which hunting is ex- cellent.

Brazilian Newsmen Lose Credentials SAO PAULO, Dec. 10—Governor Janio Quadros annulled the creden- tials of dailies “Folha Da Tarde”, “Folha Da Manha” and “Folha Da Noite” reporters, at all Sao Pauto State organisms. The measure, which provoked the protests of Press Associations and the dailies in géneral, was adopted immediately after the vir- tual expulsion of journalist Arman- do Giminez, who attended to the Palace information for these ‘ai- lies. Quadros justified his decission with the argument that Giminez made “malicious and unjust” re- ports against his government and refused to give explanations and information asked of him.

Cuban army communiques re- |killed in clashes with government \forees during the week. Another 32 were reported captured. Uncon- | firmed reports put rebel losses at | about 70.

The idea of the mediation com- mittee stemmed from the appeal made Saturday by Ernesto Stock, young opposition party leader. Stock said he was seeking an ap- pointment with President Fulgen- cio Batista to request authoriza- tion to fly to Oriente province to persuade the rebsls to lay down their arms in exchange for guar- antee of fair trial. The revolutionary forces, report- edly led by Fidel Castro, landed on Cuba’s southeastern coast last |week.

HEAVY FLOODS HIT CORDOBA, ARGENTINA CORDOBA, Argentina —(UP)— Floods twenty miles wide and in places seventy feet deep cover a vast area around the Rio Dulce Val- ley in the northern part of this province. Hundreds of humble dwellings have been swept away near La Mostaza, El Toro, El Tunel and Diez de Julio by the swollen Rio Dulee which now resembles a vast sea. Fleeing inhabitants shared tree- tops with snakes and wild animals but most herds of cattle were swept away and drowned. Airplanes and helicopters are \ Huge Oil Concessions mpanies by country at the top of the list of world oil exporters. She ranks sec- ond only to the United States in production. While the new concessions may not have an immediate effect on Venezuelan production, they help insure the world a continued flow of oil from Venezuelan ports and will definitely raise the country’s proven oil reserves that now stand at 12.5 billion barrels. Companies in the United States, Europe and Venezuela responded eagerly to the government’s tender for bid, Several bidders offered terms far more generous than had Latin American News in Brief rescuing the stranded peasants, with army, air force and Agricul- tural Ministry pilots. Fortunately the area is sparsely inhabited. The flood crest is slow- ly advancing southwards towards Mar Chiquita, an inland sea where the Rio Dulce flows into in nor- mal times.

A company offered to refine 30 per cent here. The government listed a royalty of 16-2/3 per cent on all oil produced in a certain area on the rich Lake Maracaibo area. One company offered a 25 per cent ro- yalty on ail oil from that particular area. Most sought-after concessions were the 314,119 acre granted ‘in the Lake Maracaibo area. Besides producing two-thirds of the ¢oun- try’s oil output, the 115-mile lake has recently been opened to ocean- going tanker traffic by the comple- tion of a 46-mile channel across the sand bar separating the lake from \the Caribbean. Concessions on Lake Maracaibo are considered as semi-proven or at least as highly prospective oil prod- ucers. The rest of the concessions were granted in the States of Ta- chira, Zulia and Apure, to the south .of Lake Maracaibo. These concessions are listed for “explo- ration”. Discovery of oil there, which is highly prospective, will bring added dividends to the ope. rating companies, as well as in- crease the government’s national oil reserve.
