Mer. - | ss a nS SR SE EE ST Published daily except Monday — Entered as second class matter at the Post Office of Miami Springs, Fla., on February 8, 1956, EE INET EDITORIAL WHAT A SINCERE FRIENDSHIP AND ES SOLIDARITY WITH LATIN AMERICA ene A MEAN TO THE UNITED STATES en A SIE NE ETO ‘ Politician and leaders of cultural and commer- ’ cial activities in the United States should have + complete. knowledge of what sincere friendship and solidarity with Latin American mean to this country. Both in the political and economic fields, these friendship and solidarity represent multiple advan- tages to the United States. And since things poli- tical—speaking in international terms—are closely linked to military security, it can be affirmed that there are substantial advantages in Inter American confraternity for the people of the United States, even regarding national defense. The politicians, whether in the government or outside of it, knowing this reality in its true dimen- sions, will endeavor even more, without doubt, to achieve a clear understanding between the United States and the one hundred and seventy million persons living in Latin America. : On the other hand, within the immense orbit of action of private enterprise, leaders of public opinion and those directing great economic and commercial interests in the country, must fulfill also an important task in that transcendental work of Inter American approachment. It is fundamentally convenient for the great firms in the United States that relations between this nation and the Latin American peoples develop within adequate norms of necessary cordiality and sincere understanding. This understanding and this cordiality should rest on the foundation of reciprocal advantages, of just treatment, in other words, on equity. Any effort made to strengthen these conditions, should result in greater benefits for capital investors of | the United States and for the Latin American / countries. U. S. capitalistas have great investments in the twenty above mentioned republics and could, and should, have even more money invested in pro- duction operation in Latin America, all within norms of mutual guarantees. If friendship and solidarity of Latin America represent so much in benefits for the United States, it is only logical that day by day the desire increases in this country to strengthen the bonds of friendship with those twenty peoples inhabiting one of the most promising and richest regions on Earth. LEE KNOW THY NEIGHBOR By ANTONIO RUIZ sumption, imports, exports and production were of minor import- ance: World War I, however, sti- mulated the mining of mangan- ese, iron ore, coal, chromium, mi- ca, ete. For some of these pro- ducts, industry has created an out- let in the country. During the se- cond world war the output of the mines increased and a greater var- iety of ores began to be worked. Production, however, slowed down after 1946, but the demand ior strategic- minerals, the exhaustion of certain North American fields, and the rapid expansion of heavy industry and the lighter metallur- gical industries ensure the future prosperity of Brazilian mining. Moreover, the mineral resources of Brazil are far from having been fully explored, and. discovery of important deposits, such as. those of iron and manganese ore in Ama- pa, is ‘particularly encouraging. Statistic show that the total va- lue of mineral production, not in- cluding petroleum, has more than doubled in the last few years. This increase is partly due to price rai- ses, but even so, the increase in volume amounts to more than 40 per cent, which is chiefly due to a marked increase in the production of coal, iron, salt and tale, Mining of other products began in 1941, including asbestos, bauxite, tin- stone and graphite. The production of gold, silver, arsenic, marble and mica remained more or less stable, while that of manganese decreas- ed. Exports of minerals fell off sharply at the end of World War IL. During the 18th century most of the world’s gold came from Bra- til. Subsequently the reserves gave out and today the precious metal is only extracted from the Sao Joao d@’El Rey mine, in Minas Gerais State, deepest in the world. A de- posit which appears to be import- ant was discovered in the territory of Amap&é in 1952. Nevertheless, gold production comes second in yalue to coal, Silver is obtained as a by-product of gold mining, but the output is too small to meet the requirements of the country. Brazil possesses the largest iron ore deposits in the world (22 per cent of world reserves). Although some of these deposits are in the south, in Bahia, ete. the principal fields discovered up to the pre- sent are. located in three zones: the Minas Gerais “quadrilateral,” the Urucum range in Mato Grosso, and the Santa Maria Field in Ama- pa territory. Brazil only exports ores with an iron content of more than 68 per cent, but the available quantities 42 to 60 per cent ore are enormous. Nearly all the present output is supplied by Minas Gerais, the ore being shipped by rail to the blast furnaces, or to the ex- port. ports of Rio, Vitoria, Itacu- Tussa and Aracruz.

Censors scissored out 45 inches of type — a quarter page — of a five column wide “objectiona- ble” story.

Earlier in the week the govern- ment circulated to all Havana newspapers for mandatory publica- tion an interview by Southworth which lauded President Fulgencio Batista.

The arrangements consist of three separate agreements, as fol- lows: A stabilization agreement with the United States Treasury for a total of $12,500,000; a standby agreement with the International, Monetary Fund for $12,500,000; and a stabilization credit granted by the Chase Manhattan Bank of New York in the amount of $5,- 000,000. Berckemeyer pointed out that Pert has not drawn anything upon the fund, which was established agreed that continued unrest in Alagoas could delay and possibly postpone indefinitely any work on the projected communications cen- ter and other heavy defense expen ditures in the area. The United States was reported by the qualified sources this week to be interested in securing Brazil+ ian cooperation for the establish: ment of three loran stations along the Brazilian coast to help air and sea navigation. The long range radio signal de vice could be used in wartime to detect enemy forces in the South Atlantic. This would be in addition to the communications center, de- signed to relay information of vital importance to the defense of the Western Alliance. The proposed installations would supplement the Jan. 21 Brazilian American agreement for the erec+ tion of an American guided mis- sile tracking station on Brazil's Fernando de Noronha Island.
