Invoking arguments of Cuban brotherhood and pointing out the henefits of peace, the most impor- tant members of the national press have called on was founded by Diego Garcia de |mors on the contrary. which are all concerned to cease the fire which is consuming | lives of Cubans in their own country. The call by those newspaners, made in respectful and conciliatory terms, is evidence of the civic virtues | and love for peace of the generous Cuban people, | which imposes on the Government as well as on the| opposition thé obligation of following that feeling | and way of thinking, and to act accordingly in order to find decorous formulas to solve the pending problems. IN THE CRUEL AGGRESSION AGAINST HUNGARY, RUSSIA HAS ACTED OPENLY When, a few years ago, the invasion of South | Korea by the communists took place, with complete) political and military support from Russia, the) regime of the Kremlin tried to demonstrate—| without any success—that it was not intervening in that aggression against the Republic of South Korea. Of course, politically it was declaring itself in favor of North Koreans, but efforts were made tv make the world believe that the Moscow Govern- | ment was not directly involved in the war. Naturally, they could not fool anyone with such a lie.

In the case of Hungary, in this brutal military aggression, Russia has not even tried to deny par-| ticipation in an immoral act which has been con-| demned by the civilized world. Soviet troops, making display of their modern armaments and uniforms, with their heavy tanks, have rushed upon the Hungarian people. In the streets of Budapest and other Hungarian cities, buried in the ruins, are | the bodies of countless persons killed by the mur-| derous bullets of the Kremlin. In Parliament Square, | in the cultural capital of that country, the people} were terribly and spectacularly shot, Thousands of | men an women, with a high percentage of young rebels, found death at the historic square in defense of their Fatherland. \ All this events have shocked the world, but Russia laughs at the moral sanction of all huma-| _ nity, In reality, with this attitude, the communist lords are defying all the free countries of the world which condemn the invasion of Hungary. “THE TEN COMMANDMENTS” De Mille’s Great Super-Production Shows the Power of Faith, the Immortality and Strength of Man‘s Love For Freedom By ANTONIO RUIZ Whether you are a Protestant, a Jew, or a Catholic, when you see ‘The Ten Commandments”, the extraordinary super-production of Cecil B. DeMille, you will find something closely connected with your life, as well as with the lives of your family and friends. Be-| | dashing young man who appears) first in the uniform of high ranking | member of the Royal Family and) General of the Army, the Conquer- or of Ethiopia, is seen in the per- formance of the filthiest chores| reserved for the slaves. | And the first great fight against tyranny is on. Moses is sustained cause, as the Biblical episodes un- fold before your eyes in the mag- nificent film, your mind, your soul, your = spirit, back to the times when, as a child, you were learning about the great “Men of God” who dedicated their | lives to preach the Divine Word, so that, through “peace on Earth and good will toward men,” human- ity may learn some day the ways ‘o make of this planet a better | place to live in. But, important as the religious theme of the picture is on the whole, no less important is the mes- sage it brings to us about the eter- nal struggle of men for their liberty, which has’ been going on ‘rom time immemorial, a fight in which they are willing to make all sinds of sacrifices, and willingly tisk death in an effort to deliver themselves from the chains impos- +d by other men. Moses, in a role inl now unknown to most of us, ears as a Prince of Egypt who $s about to inherit the throne, vhen it is discovered that he is he son of Hebrew slaves, and he ‘thing that taxes the imagination |a lesson never to be forgotten! villingly renounces all the glory ind power that were to be his, to ledicate himself to fight for the ‘reedom of his people, and the all are transported | through the apparently unequal struggle agains the powerful Prince Rameses, later Pharaoh or King of Egypt, by his great faith, that firm conviction of being right of which it has been said that “it can move mountains”, until finally he achiev-| |es freedom for his people. We see |in this picture that Moses was |truly “the genius of human liberty” jas it has been said. How timely it is that this mag- |nificent picture has been released now, when the heroic Hungarians are engaged in a similar struggle against tyranny, against the eternal |effort of the forces of darkness |to enslave human beings, to satis- fy their own ends and their whims. | The construction of the city of |Per-Rameses and the Exodus of \the Jews from it, are scenes of |great magnificence and grandeur, and the sequence in which the Red Sea opens to let the Hebrews pass in their flight, and then closes |again to overwhelm their enemies, |overturning chariots and drown- |ing men by the thousands, is some- |and makes one feel like asking | | Mr. De Mille “Where do you go from here?” Venezuelan history for the meeting | there between Simén Bolivar, the Liberator, and Pablo Morillo, the Spanish Pacifier. A monument commemorating the historic mee- ting of the two opposing generals| in the War of Independence, has | been erected there. The old “Iglesia Matriz de Tru- jillo” is a piece of true colonial architecture and one of the most outstanding examples of the Spanish style of construction for churches in those times. Construc- tion started in 1662, and was completed -with generous financial help from Bishop Fray Alonso Bricefio. Once the city was founded and the land parceled out, work on the church began, and it was dedicated to St, James the Apostle and given his name, which is not used any longer. At one time it also was called the church of “Our | Lady of Peace”. The pillars of the church were made of huge cedar trunks resting on the foundations of carved stone. The church has three naves, the central one being the widest, with the high altar at the end, formerly of richly carved and gilded wood. The tower, which many believe | to be the original Colonial cons- truction, was, nevertheless, built only at the end of the 19th century. The patina of age it shows today jis the result of civic wars, when the church and tower were used as fortresses by one side or another. | The “Iglesia Matriz de Trujillo” is certainly a fine example of true| colonial architecture, From the | nearby Alameda Rivas, on a hill adjoining the church, the inhabi- tants of the city, when out for walks, can obtain a fine view of the landscape and the city below. Trujillo is one of the three Andean states, which are consider- ed among the most progressive, | and its inhabitants among the most, hard-working in Venezuela, (Spanish Version Page 3) view, De Mille was asked: “Why| do you lean so heavily on Biblical material for your stories? And the great producer replied: “Be- cause man’s discovery of God is the most wonderful story ever told, and whether he admits it to him- self or not—his need for God is} ever present.” One thing can be said about) “The Ten Commandments”: It makes one feel like re-discovering God. It makes one feel like be- coming again an active participant in this “the most wonderful story ever told” which continues unfold- ing before our own eyes and never ends, The great super-production of Cecil B. De Mille clearly shows the great power of faith, of courage, and the immortality and strength of man’s love for freedom.

El Salvador Agrees SAN SALVADOR, Dec. 12 (UP) —The Minister of Economic, R.| Rochae declared that the Salvado- | rean coffee exporters agreed to back up the contract for methodiza- tion of coffee exports, with the purpose of regulating the bids for | the benefit of the producers as | well as the consumers.

Magloire resign- | ed today the Presidency of the Hai- tian Provisional Military Govern- ment and prepared to leave the country by plane, according to a creditable information received in this capital. Dispatchs from Port-au-Prince reveal that Magloire handed over the Presidency, at 11 am., to Jo- seph Pierre Louis, President of the Supreme Court and constitutional successor to the President. It is expected that Magloire will announce his resignation publicly, making a plea to the Haitian people for the keeping of peace and order during the transition period until celebration of new presidential elections next April. | Magloire was said to have decid- |ed to leave Haiti to avert the pos- over his recent unpopular actions.

American tourists arriving in |Puerto Rico from Haiti said Hai- ‘tians appeared -solidly against con- | tinued rule by Magloire.

Masferrer’s warning coincided with, a diminution of the tension} in Niquero’s front, where Batista government warned the remnants of the revolutionary movement in the eastern zone of the country that either they surrender within 48 hours-or they will be annihilat- ed. This warning period started yesterday and will end Thursday at noon, The cease fire at Niquero jis due also to orders of the govern- ment with the purpose of giving the rebels a chance to surrender. Masferrer added that “I am in no way convinced” that Batista’s enemies attack plans were only li- mited to the eastern campaign. “I Latin American News in Brief The Argentinians residing here staged a demonstration similar to the one in Buenos Aires and came “in masse” to the registering of males, More than 400 inscriptions were made. The newspaper “La Esfera” and “Ultimas Noticias” stressed the fact that Peron did not appear to register his residence and this is interpreted as his renunciation to participate in the elections to be held shortly in Argentina. The Caracas dailies point out that the ex Dictator, who travels with Paraguayan documentation “will not be able to vote or be elected” when he refused to request regis- tration, MURDER MYSTERY IN MEXICO UNSOLVED MEXICO CITY —(UP)— Police said they had made “no progress” in investigating the murder of Eng- lish millionaire Risby Cameron Whitehorne, and freed all five wish I were wrong, but I am afraid jof bigger things.

HONDURAN BONDS TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (UP)— The Governing Military Board decreed the issuance of bonds up to a total of six million lempiras, the profit of which will be used to pay four million drafts issued last September by the Treas- ury Department, and also for set- tling obligations pending as of Oct- ober 21, 1956. The bonds will be redeemable in ten years. Of the six million lem- piras four million will be in bonds of financial institutions with a four per cent interest.
