Huge Corporation Industries Establi BOGOTA —(SICO)— A decisive step for the development of in- dustries in Colombia was taken by ing their. last meeting, of the Na- tional Production Corporation, which will have a capital of 500 million pesos. The Institute of Industrial Dev-| elopment, with a capital of eleven million pesos, which has been func- tioning; during the last few years, will be absorbed by the new or- ganization, which will develop ample plans for the benefit of in- dustrialization’ of the country. The board of directors of the or- ganization will be presided by the Ministérs of Treasury and Develop- ment, and will start operations in the early part of 1957. The by-laws of the corporation foresee future participation of pri- vate capitals in the organization, which has been conceived on the basis of @ corporation, without los- ing, however, its character of semi- official organization, directly de- pending from the Ministry of Dev- elopment. The corporation will encourage great’ development of industries, expanding existing ones and creat- ing mai new ones. The Presi- dent of the Republic, Lt. Gen. Gus- tavo Rojas Pinilla, declared after eet for Development of shed in Colombia | the Council of Ministers approved |the transcendental measure: ' “The organization of the Corpo- the Cabinet with the creation, dur-| ration for the Development of In-| dustry is the best answer that can be given to the false prophets of the Colombian economy.” | The ministers also gave their |opinion on the measure. For in- stance, Government Minister José | dered that the corporation is “aim- ed to achieve the redemption of it must be prepared for self-suf- ficiency within natural possibilities, which are innumerable.” The Min- ister of Mines, Francisco Puyana |Menéndez, said: “The project is transcendental and has incalcula- ble possibilities”, adding that this is the first time in Colombia tax of the production, in a direct form, and to new industries.” Meanwhile, a decree approved by the Cabinet forbids all officials to entertain at the taxpayers ex- pense. Considering, however, that there may ‘be some exceptions to the or- der, the cabinet established a con- sulting board, which will decide on all projected entertainment, au- |thorizing it in cases considered as ‘indispensable.

Chiriqui produces bananas, rice and sugar cane on its sea level coastal plains and excellent coffee, strawberries, oranges and all kinds, of vegetables on the volcanic slopes of “El Baru”. Its elimate varies from the prevailing sunshine and warm tropic breezes of the beaches bordering the Pacific, to the “pe- rennial spring” of the mountain villages. | In David, the capital, the Hotel |Nacional is one of the finest in all of Central America, and from there trips can be made into the most beautiful mountain country. The Church of San José, in David, because | is 2 unique reminder of the Spanish Colonial days. The tower is com- pletely separated from the church —a type of construction primari- ly intended for defense against hostile Indian attacks as well as for worship. San José’s tower is one of the very few examples of this type of construction in Latin America. From David, a narrow gauge rail- way takes the visitors up the east- ern slope of the volcano to Boque- te, tiny village at 3.800 feet above sea level. Here a tumbling mount- ain stream chuckles beside the main street; laughing native girls harvest the ripe red coffee berries from the plants which are under taller trees for protection and | shade; mountain mules serve as transportation from the village to jis a perpetual havest of ‘flowers, |fruits and vegetables usually asso- ciated with temperate zones. Here are fields of tall lilies, delicious, juicy seedless oranges and arom- atic freshly roasted coffee. Little Switzerland, located at an altitude of 7.000 feet above sea level, may be visited by automo- bile on a one-day excursion up. the western slopes of “El Baru”. This route takes one first through the sea level plantations before beginn- jing the seetp ascent up the mount: ain trails past ice cold trout |streams, through deep mahogany | forests, around precipitous gorges, ;until arrival at Little Switzerland, which stands in a fine, fertile valley surrounded by volcanic crags. Tropical banana plantations may be visited on a one-day trip from David, using the narrow gauge rail- way system through the properties of the Chiriqui Land Compamy, to their headquarters in Puerto Ar- muelles.. These enormous planta- tions are among the world’s most scientifically operated. Here one may follow the entire process of tropical farming from the plant- ing to scientific culture, to harvest- ing and transportation to the sea- port, where the great stems are loaded on _ specially constructed, refrigerated, fruit steamers. Hunters and trout. fishermen |may make reasonably comfortable headquarters at Bambito, 5.800 feet above sea level, on the the western slope of “El Baru”. Here a small lodge and sleeping cabins are si- tuated on the edge of a well-stock- ed stream in the center of an un- spoiled forest. Here “Curt” and “Slim“ ‘offer guide services and hospitality to those who like to rough it up.

It will be installed at the | Trinidad sugar mill, on the south- /ern coast of Cuba, near the port ‘city of Trinidad. Its cost has been estimated between 12 and 14 mil- lion dollars. \ The manufacture of pulp and paper will be an interrupted dpera- tion, since the factory will use the} bagasse from the sugar mill. It} will be the first installation of its kind, planned specially for the use of bagasse, taking into full consideration the different charac- teristics of the bagasse and the | wood pulp. The machinery to make the pulp jand the paper will be delivered in |about 16 months. The “Papelera |Pulpa Cuba, S. A.” expects to start operations in the middle of 1958. It is expected the new factory will be the forerunner of an im- portant paper industry in Cuba using the bagasse, of which the only use until now has been as fuel for the sugar mills’ boilers. The new company will manu- facture bleached and unbleached | papers, as well as several types of cardboard and containers. President of “Papelera _Pulpa Cuba, S.

When the package was opened, it was found it contained Peronist literature, newspapers, records and tape recordings sent by Perén from Caracas, which were introduced in Argentina via La Quiaca. The two men who remained in the automobile fled, taking advan- tage of the confusion caused by the accident, but they were arres- ted later in another part of the city. In spite of statements made by witnesses, the four men arrested insisted that there was no woman in the automobile.

TENSION Prospects For Sugar Industry in 1957 Bright, FAQ Bulletin States UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 28 (UP)— The tendency of the per capita sugar consumption increase continues and it is probable it will be maintained as long as the real income per capita increases also, states the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Bulletin. “In 1956—the Bulletin says—the world sugar consumption (exclud- ing Eastern Europe, the USSR and China) may reach 32.900,000 tons —an increase of 1,400,000 tons over the level reached in 1955.” It adds that the most outstanding increase will possibly he registered again in the Near East, Asia and Africa. “However —it points out— it is doubtful that the same rate of increase continues in 1957.” In the same act the “Premio Es- pafia” (Spain Prize) for the best fiction in 1956, will also be deli- vered. The Mexican novelist Ma- nuel Pomares Monleon, author of the novel “Ya no Existe la Luz de esa Estrella” (The light of that Star does not shine any more), which won the competitive prize among other 45 novels from spanish speaking countries in the world, has been selected for it.

It stresses the point that, at the end of this year, sugar stocks in principal countries will be - left substancially reduced. “And the new 1956-1957 crops —it adds— according to the first indications, improbable would be larger than 1955-1956.” FAO remembers that, until 1951, the larger increases in sugar cons- umption were registered in the Central and South American coun- tries. “From that year on, however, the greater increase of consump- tion took place in Asia, the Near East and Africa, the three regions with the lower per capita cons- umption.” In Oceania and North America where, even before the war, the very high consumption reached 5 kilograms per person, ‘very little change has been registered. FAO reports that the 1955 consumption in Western Europe was 9.300,000 tons, or five per cent greater than in 1954 and sixteen per cent larger than in 1951, The mean average of consumption per capita in 1955 was of 29.6 Kgs. Spain and Jugoslavia were the countries in which bigger increase of consumption per capita was re- gistered, increasing in both cases from 8 Kgs. in 1951 to 12 Kgs. in 1955. ‘i Significative increases are obs- erved in Finland and Italy. “In fact—FAO said—the most accented increase in Western Eu- rope was registered in Italy, the consumption per capita increasing since the war from 8 Kgs, to 17 Kgs. in 1955.” The consumption has followed an ascending line in all the countries of Central America, being larger in those where the consumption was lower. In México it increased sixteen per cent between 1951 and 1955.
