TT EDITORIAL THE DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION Since, in connection with the unfortunate in- cident in Denver during celebrations paying homage _to Lincoln, the name of the Daughters of the Amer- ican Revolution was mentioned, it is convenient to point out to the Latin American public the qualities of this national institution, which gathers, under patriotic inspiration, a strong representation of the women of the United States. The association Daughters of the American Revolution has conquered well deserved prestige throughout the country, because of their civic acti- vities, their patriotic feelings, and the ideals they proclaim and defend, Precisely, the attitude of condemnation assumed by the organization in view of the Denver incident, provoked by one of its members, is unequivocal proof of the high sense of responsibility, as well as evidence of the generosity of its purposes. The Daughters of the American Revolution truly demonstrated, in this case, to be completely conscious of the respect deserved by human values, when they rebuked the person: who, perhaps unwil- lingly, offended the children of Mexican origin, while preparing the homage to the illustrious U. Ss. statesman, Abraham Lincoln. Besides, leading elements of that organization demonstrated their interest in American confraternity — speaking in continental terms — since, had not the generous and indispensable rectification been made, the Denver incident would have left a bad impression in the mind of the Latin American peoples, who collectively resent any offense to.a member of the Latin American community of nations. From the incident good experience may be derived, which may be useful in the future. To begin with, there is the fact that such an attitude, as the assumed against the Mexican children, provokes ‘strong protest throughout the United States, as logical consequence of the humanitarian and cordial feelings of the people. The fact that children, of foreign parents, carry the flag of the United States and participate in patriotic and civic acts in this country, should be in itself a motive of satisfaction for all good citizens of the United States, who must see with pleasure, even with emotion, children of foreign origin carry- For a. better understanding MIAMI SPRINGS, FLA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1957 THY NEIGHBOR By ANTONIO RUIZ DOMINICAN REPUBYIC — The Agricultural and Industrial Credit Bank is undoubtedly the most im- portant single factor -in the agri- cultural and industrial progress of the Dominican Republic in the last few years. Founded in 1945, it has extended loans of more than 75 million dollars. Half of this amount was for agricultural development and livestock improvement. The other half has aided industrial ex- pansion, housing construction and other undertakings related ,direct- ly or indirectly, to the economic development of the country. Un- der the Government's irrigation program, large areas of arid and semi-arid land have been reclaim: ed. The availability of water all year-round has materially increas- ed the productive capacity of rural areas. While in 1930, state irrigation canals supplied and area of only 7,470 acres with water, the con- struction of more than 50 addition- al canals has brought the country’s irrigated area to nearly 200,000 acres, Large scale irrigation and modernized farming methods have greatly increased. production, and a great number of. tractors have been imported, at a cost of more than five million dollars. The industrial development plan encompasses new industries that utilize (a) domestic raw materials in production for the home mar- ket; (b) domestic or imported raw materials or semi-finished goods in production primarily for home markets, the excess, if any, to be exported; (c) domestic raw ma- terials in production solely for ex- port, The program is the result of the Plan for Social and Economic Betterment formulated in 1937. It has already borne fruit in that many items previously imported are now manufactured locally and even exported, and exploitation of the country’s mineral resources has begun. The Dominican Republic pro- duces sugar more efficiently than and industrial. country could. For manufactured goods, the country, on the other hand, continues to depend largely on imports. Thus, the exportation of sugar and the importation of sugar and the importation of manufactured items assume in the Dominican economy the role that investments and sav- ings play in an industrial economy such as that of the United States. Sugar production constitudes the optimum employment of Dominic- an resources. The country’s soil and climate make it possible to pro- duce sugar at a price that few, if any, of the world’s largest pro- ducers could match. Sugar exports, rather than in- vestments, are the source of the country’s chief income. For this reason, the Dominican economy, while vulnerable to foreign mar- ket fluctuations, is relatively pro- tected from internal causes. The ing, with enthusiasm, with respect, with faith in the greatness of this country, the Stars and Stripes. And the general attitude which resulted throughout the United States with the Denver case, reveals that the people understand and interpret it in that manner. Dominican peso, at par with the U. S. dollar, is freely convertible. ‘Thus, the Dominican Republic helps other nations to achieve and maintain high levels of production, consumption, employment and in- come.

Vice President Isaac Rojas and Industry Minister Rodolfo Martinez in statements last week showed that many long-term state power projects are being pushed ahead without any parallel encourage- ment to private investments in the power field. Rojas referred to state projects for installation of 1,727,- 000 kilowatts. The trend toward state power ownership has been evident in Ar- gentine since the first of the pow- er companies were expropriated in 1943, At that time, power was a major political issue because of. charges that the foreign-owned Compafiia Argentina de Electricidad (CA DE) had bribed members of the Buenos Aires Board of Aldermen to win a new forty-year conces- sion running from 1936 to 1975. In 1945 another investigation was conducted of the so-called ANSEC group of five companies WASHINGTON, D. C.

Argentina Prepared to Compensate Expropriated Foreign Companies subsidiary to the Foreign Power Co. Between 1943 and 1948, 21 utili- ties of the ANSEC group were con- fiscated or expropriated in seven Argentine provinces touching off a series of litigations that remain unresolved and are now under re- view by the Provisional Govern- ment. Government officials have said that it is a point of “national hon- or” to make satisfactory compensa- tion for these expropriations. ANSEC representatives report- edly have offered the government that compensation for their expro- priated installations in the sum of more than $80 million would be re-invested in Argentina. Their chief proposed re-investment would be in the huge 600,000 kilowatt (dock sur) thermoelectric plant planned to supply Buenos Aires. So far, however, there has been no official indication that the gov- ernment wants .to link the com- pensation issue with the granting of contracts for the thermoelectric plant, which will be one of the world’s largest. Opening of initial bids for the plant will be held simultaneously in Buenos Aires, New York and Hamburg.

This bomb contained six dynamite cartridges. Last night’s bomb was the twelfth explosion in Havana, since the suspension of constitutional guaratees, exactly a month ago.

Sell Controlling Interest in Paper, Obeying a Law “La Nacién” was founded in 19- 17 by four politicians of the Liberal Party, headed by Eleodoro Yafies, who a few years later employed the newspaper for strong opposition to the presidential aspirations of the now Chief Executive, General Car- los Ibafies del Campo, then army colonel and War Minister. Ibdfiez won the elections of 1926, however, and his. Government bought “La Nacién” the following year. Yafies retired and went to live in Europe. 3 In 1956, opposition legislators, disgusted with the attacks of “La Nacién” against them during a de- bate on tax reforms, succeeded in getting aproval of a law forcing the government to sell its shares before August 27.
