The reading public and advertisers have deposited once more their former trust in that excellent newspaper. The persecution of which “La Prensa” was a victim during several years, to the limit of being expropriated and transformed in organ at the service of unpopular and anti-democratic interests, lent prestige to that Argentine newspaper as well as greater moral authority mission of orientation. Temporarily, the whi prevail in its endeavors to accomplish its high m of a Government may to crush freedom of the press, and to silence the voices of unbending journa- lism, but, with time, sooner or later, recovery is achieved, as in the case of the great Buenos Aires newspaper edited by the illustrious Argentine states- man, Doctor Alberto Gainza Paz. The Argentine people, as well as those in all America greeted with joy the return of “La Prensa” to the daily struggle for culture and democracy. At present, the great newspaper has no limitations, except a shortage of newsprint, according to’state- ments made by Doctor Gainza Paz to the AMERI- CAS DATYY; and all throughout the Americas—we may add—it is enjoying greater moral prestige, and is respected by all freedom loving people. It is to be hoped that Argentine journalism will not have to face again, ever, any restrictions to its freedom, and that always it will be able to accomplish its mission of informing and leading the people with true news reports and sensible and serene comments, such as characterize the great Buenos Aires daily, which enjoys world wide reputation and is at the vanguard of world newspapers printed in the Spanish language. U.S. Observances of Pan American Week fo be Mainly in California WASHINGTON, D. C. (PAU) — Emphasis on the observance of Pan American Week, April 8-14 shifts 3,000 miles this year from the traditional Eastern seaboard to the West Coast, where the Council of the Organization of American States (OAS) commemorates the 67th anniversary of the founding of Pan Americanism in San Fran- cisco and Los Angeles. s In another precedent-shattering move, the ambassadors from the 21 American republics, who make up the OAS Council, will for the first time celebrate Pan American Day, April 14, away from their headquarters in Washington. A nationally-prominent speaker is ex- pected to head the Pan American Day ceremony im Los Angeles. The invitations to make the West Coast the focus of the 1957 U. S. Pan American Week festivities were extended to the permanent assembly of ambassadors by Cali- fornia Governor Goodwin J. Knight and Mayors George Christopher, of San Francisco, and Norris Poul- son of Los Angeles. Accompanying the ambassadors on their flight to the Pacific to strengthen inter American ties on the West Coast will be Dr. José A. Mora, OAS Secretary Gen- eral, Dr William Manger, OAS As- sistant Secretary General, and other OAS officials. Wives will al- so attend. During their three-day stay in San Francisco, the OAS Council will be received at City Hall by Mayor Christopher and will be ten- dered a reception at the Legion of Honor Palace. The Ambassadors will also visit Stanford University, the Institute of Hispanic Studies,’ the Hoover Library, the University of Califorria, the city of Oakland, and Yosemite National Park. The program for Los Angeles also includes an official visit to Ci- ty Hall, a tour of the motion pic- ture studios, a civic parade in the Los Angeles City Hal, a visit to Disneyland. and the climactic Pan American Day ceremony, attended by state and city officials, business- men and cultural groups. Pan American Week activities at the OAS’ headquarters in Washing- ton, the Pan American Union building, will consist of concerts, art exhibits, special programs for schoolchildren, and a Coffee Day ceremony. 2 Elsewhere in the United States, civic groups and Pan American societies, acting on the proclama- tion of President Eisenhower, will observe Pan American Day and Week with round-table discussions on the nations that make up the OAS, exhibits, concerts, parades, window displays, plays and Hemi- spheric good-will assemblies. Com- bining the anniversary of the birth of Henry Clay with Pan American Week, the University of Kentucky will present a four-day series of radio and television broadcasts cen- tered around “Latin America Since Henry Clay.” In the other countries of the ‘Americas, Pan American Week, as always, will be celebrated as a na- tional holiday with parades and of- ficial ceremonies. In several of the countries, the Week’s program was prepared by committees appointed by the presidents. Pan American Day and Week commemorate the Washington signing on April 14, 1890 of the two agreements that founded the Inter- national Union of American Re- publics and the Commercial Bur- eau of the American Republics, forerunners of the OAS and its sec- retariat, the Pan American Union. The date became an inter Ameri- can holiday in 1930, Colombia Exhibits at N. Y. Flower Show NEW YORK. . .Garden Clubs of Bogoté and Medellin are joining with, other groups from Colombia to participate for the first time in the International Flower Show w'ich opened at New York’s Coli- seum March 31st. The Colombian Ambassador to the United States, Dr. Francisco Urrutia, formally inaugurated the Colombian exhibit Monday morning. The Colombian exhibit on the third floor of the Coliseum ad- joins the floral displays arranged by other nations whose exhibits will compete for special awards in the International Competitive class. Mrs. Eugenia Angel de Velez of Bogoté has arranged wth Colomb- ian Garden Club groups for air shipments of fresh flowers to ar- rive in New York every other day during the weeklong show. They’ll come from outstanding dis- plays in Colombia, Roberto Camargo, an eminent For a better understanding MIAMI SPRINGS, FLA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 1957 KNOW THY NEIGHBOR By ANTONIO RUIZ MEXICO — Stretching four hundred miles down the Gulf of México, from the Panuco River in the north, to Coatzacoalos (Puerto México) in the south, is the rich, fertile State of Veracruz. Its mag- nificent coastline is one long white sandy beach dotted with pictures- que fishing villages and broken on- ly by the mouths of tranquil rivers. In the hinterland are high mount- ain ranges covered in part with dense, tropical growth and forests. They seem to challenge the ap- proach to the mighty tablelands above. Nestling among the- mountain vastnessess, hidden in beautiful glades and valleys are little towns, hamlets and haciendas. Farflung plains thriving under sunny skies offer unending vistas of fields pro- ducing sugar cane, pineapples, ba- Nanas, oranges and limes, which are everywhere in abundance. Along the slopes of the mountain foothills and protected by shady tropical folliage are plantations producing some of the world’s fin- est grades of coffee. Occupying a considerable section of the northern coastal area are the great oil producing fields of Poza Rica, with their long pipe- lines, derricks and refineries. In the encircling hills and mountains are rich mineral resources barely exploited, including deposits of gold, silver, copper, and lead ores. Lakes and streams ~abound with fish, also abundant in the warm waters that caress the coast. The jungles teem with wild game parrots and innumerables varieties of multi-hued birds. These regions as well as the forest covered mountains’ constitute a veritable paradise for hunters and fishermen. Wherever you look there are vir- gin woods full of valuable timber. From the watersheds formed by the towering mountains, innumer- able rivers and streams flow to the Towlands. In their course throught the rugged hills they frequently form waterfalls and cas- eades of singular beatuy, Further on, they wind through fertile countryside where their waters are now being extensively used for irrigation projects. Where they broaden and deepen, along their tranquil surfaces, one can see' light river craft transporting all kinds (CONTINUED) The Government realized that it was necessary to face the problem resolutely Monetary stabilization was imposed as a basic foundation to regulate the activities of the na- tion. Furthermore, revolutionary strategy counselled recognition of the characteristics and possibilities of national reality And it was de- cided to take energetic steps to- ward economic order, a step-up in individual productivity, increas- ed production; and all these re- quired the uganimous support of all Bolivians in order to achieve a greater well-being for the benefit of all. Government Decree No, 4538 of Decemher 15, 1956, in its funda- mental parts, includes the follow- ing: Banking System: A single rate of exchange for the Bolivian Peso in relation to the U. S. Dollar was established. The Central Bank is to determine exchange rates and foreign exchange transfers will be made freely in the market. Exports and Imports: Free ex- port and import trading in domes- tie or foreign products was au- thorized, with the sole requirement of compliance with Consular regu- lations and with no exceptions other than those that might arise from international agreements, Government contracts, or legisla- tion covering the national art pa- trimony. Imports and subsidized prices for basic need articles im- ported by the Ministry of National Economy were suspended, although the Ministry can still import basic consumer products so long as do- mestic industry cannot meet the country’s needs. Mining: The system of cheap commissaries was ended and work- ers’ compensation in lieu ordered. The Corporacién Minera (Mining Corporation) was granted authori- ty to determine real commissary prices in accordance with the Law of Novemter 6, 1945, It was agreed to limit expenditures and regulate overproduction bonuses. Medium. sized mining companies are allowed to export minerals freely if they can get better prices than those shown in the Banco Minero (Mining Bank) board. Benefits to non-confiscated mining companies, U. S. Ambassador of produce. Among the more im- portant rivers of the state are the Blanco, Panuco, Tuxpan, Tecolitla, Martinez de la Torre, Coatzacoal- cos and the mighty Papaloapan, There are several historic cities in Veracruz, as well as many splendid resorts, such as Fortin de las Flores, with its thousands of gardenias, orchids, and other exot- ie flowers. Tlacotalpan, which keeps its charm of colonial times is located on the shores of the magnificent Papaloapan River and Tecolutla is blessed with won- derful, inviting beaches. Crisscrossing the State are splendid highways connecting Ori- zaba, Cérdoba, the port of Vera- cruz, Tuxpan and the State Capital, Jalapa, with México City and the rest of the country. Two of these highways leading from México Ci- ty to the port of Veracruz pass over a high mountain range, while a third, the most modern, by-passes the range and makes it possible for motorists to make the trip from Veracruz to México City in «less than six hours. Nowadays there is hardly a city, town or hamlet in Veracruz State that cannot. be reached by a paved or all-weather highway. Ma- ny pass through mountain vastnes- ses where lovely villages ,hidden from the outside world by dense woods, suddenly come into view.

Denies Attack in Argentina BUENOS AIRES, April 2 (UP) — United States Ambassador, Wil- lard Beaulac, denied the story that his automobile was stoned during a students demonstration while on a visit he made to the northern city of Tucumén, last week, Ambassador Beaulac added that he never saw any demonstration and also that nobody hurled stones at him. It was reported that Beaulac was in Tucuman’s Province Governor's: car when, from a group of 150 students, members of the National University Federation, several stones were hurled at him. During the demonstration, a policeman was injured and several students were arrested and kept under tempor- ary custady. U. S. DELEGATION REACHES ARGENTINA FOR ATOMIC STUDY BUENOS AIRES (UP)— A De- legation from the United States Atomic Energy Commission, inte- grated ‘by eleven persons, arrived here with the purpose of initiating a vast study of Aigentine nuclear Possibilities and to work in col- laboration with Argentinian atom- ic physicists. i This group, headed by Raymond Edwards, Subdirector of the Inter- national Technical Aid Program, was welcomed at the Buenos Ai- res International Airport, by sever- al prominent Argentinian scient- ists. The members of the Delega- tion are specialists in various atom- ie branches, among them the peaceful uses of atomic energy, and its application in medicine, geology and metallurgy. The visitors will separate this week to collaborate with the Ar- will remain in Buenos Aires to study. the Argentinian Atomic En- ergy Commission Laboratories and The Monetary Stabilization Plan of Bolivia By MARIO V. GUZMAN GALARZA Altérnate Representative of Bolivia before the OAS Council both small and medium-sized; were increased; with the thought of granting the utmost facilities for mechanizing exploitation, to in- crease technical surveys, and aug- ment production. Other regulations: A policy of a balanced budget. New rent control regulations. Elimination of the de- deficits of autonomous agencies through curtailment of expendi- tures, abolishment of privileges, and application of a system of ‘ac- tual prices. Readjustment of wages and:salaries in accordance with the cost of living, determination of compensation for abolishment of cheap commissaries. The Stabilization Plan was made possible with the cooperation of the: International Monetary. Fund, the International Cooperation Ad- ministration, and the U. S. Trea- sury Department. All basic measu- res for its implementation are now in operation. Favorable conditions for capital investments have been created, and a vast development of the oil industry is planned under the current Petroleum Code. The people are forecefully behind the Plan, Surveys made in recent months confirm the unanimous public support. Nevertheless, we caenot say that all problems have been licked. It will be necessary to relieve the workers from the heavy load they are carrying; it will be necessary to enact a basic program of economic diversification. It will be necessary, to sum up, to win the battle of production and defeat the monster of inflation. President | Siles stated on March 13 at a meeting of the American colony residing in La Paz, that at least four more years of efforts with the cooperation of the Bolivian people will be required. Reassert- ing the inter-american ideals of peace, labor, and liberty, the President said: ‘a. . . . The ideal of all free people is’ peace, and peace and progress are inter- related. A problem for peace is the abysm existing between the large and small nations, and I think that peace will become a reality when anxiety disappears, when that abysm disappears.” Other strange factors dangerous- ly loom over the current estabiliza- tion panorama. When the contract covering sales of wolfram to the GSA expires, Bolivia will lose ma- ny millions of dollars due to unit price differences in the interna- tional market. When the Texas smelter closes, we will have to pay more. transportation, amd pos- sibly at higher rates, to take our minerals to more distant ports. The Government is resolved to face all problems, but it needs the in- valuable assistance of the United States, which assistance constitutes a true enforcement of the inter- American system of mutual aid, and is a tribute to, the holocaust of thousands’ of miners who died in the pits laboring for a produc- tion that was an important contri- bution to the cause of Continental freedom. We are certain that as the problems, are met and plans for carrying out a basic program of cooperation and economic de- velopment investments made, the nation’s progress and well-being of its people will be insured, based on the great natural resources and power and wealth potential of Bo- gentinian physicists.

AMERI- CAS DAILY, declared: “The an- nounced increase in ocean freight rates for transportation of mer- chandise between the United States and some of the Latin American countries, such as Ecuador, Colom- bia, Panamé, ete, constitutes a new and heavy blow against the pro- motion of international trade. and against the weak economies of the Republics of this Hemisphere. The rate increase will mean a decrease in the volume of exports and im- ports; it will bring increase in price of consumer goods and will have the definite result of harm- ing exporters, importers, and con- sumers.” The Ambassador, Dr. José R. Chi- riboga, added he hopes that “the Government of President Eisen- hower will take measures to pre- vent the announced increase in freight rates from going into ef- fect, since the President of the United States has distinguished himself as champion of interna- tional trade, and any increase in rates is against interchange of pro- ducts.” It was learned that Dr. Chiribo- ga has requested from the Depart- ment of State concrete informa- tion about the announced attitude of U. S, shipping firms. In the re- quest, Dr. Chiriboga insisted in knowing if the Government of the United States has authorized that increase in rates, and for what rea- son, Chilean Loan Extended For Another Year WASHINGTON —(UP)— Chile has been given another year ex- tension for the stabilization loan of $75,000,000 from the Interna- tional Monetary Fund, the U.

Congress must approve or reject this measure, The Interior Minister had a con- ference today with the political leaders, to give them details on the incidents of the last five days in which three persons have been killed and dozens injured, some of them seriously. The heads of the principal political parties, who have majori- ty control in Congress, decided to- day to ask the Government to re- voke the increase in transportation fares, which has caused the in- cidents and to make a new technic- al survey to determine if they are justified. They also agreed to request re- lease of those arrested at the: be- ginning of the disturbances, and withdrawal of the National Police from public service leaving vigil- ance in the hands of the Army. - The police raided a house in which they arrested 100 students and pro-communist leaders, accus- ing them of conspiring after four days of disturbances. of Rioting A girl university student, died from bullet wounds received dur ing a series of street incidents pro voked by youngsters protesting against the fare increases, This rai- ses to three the deaths since pro- tests started last Thursday.

In- fante, accused the bus owners of withdrawing their vehicles from the street, as pressure to the Goy- ernment fo return to the system of subsidies in the gasoline price for public vehicles.

The mine produces 40 per cent of the copper’ exported by Chile, and the nation is losing great amounts in foreign exchange. There is Complete Press Freedom in Argentina, Gainza Paz States “The present Government of Argentina is in the hands of men who want to surrender power to the authorities resulting from a victory in the coming elections, which will be held as soon as pos- sible”, declared Dr. Alberto Gain- za Paz to the Editor of THE AMERICAS DAILY. The illus: trious editor of “La Prensa” of Buenos Aires, stopped briefly in Miami on his way to New York, after participating in the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Inter American Press Association, recenty held in San José, Costa ica, * “I believe that it is a rare ease, perhaps the only one in the pre- sent-day world, that a “de facto” Government is ready to surrender power, and have the country re- turn. to constitutional normalcy”, he added. Regarding the meeting of IAPA’s directors in the Costa Rican cap- ital, Dr. Gainza Paz stated that “important resolutions were ap- proved, some of them to be sub- mitted to IAPA’s General Assem- bly in October in Washington.” “The main topic —Gainza Paz said— at the meeting was, as ever, to defend Press freedom, supptes- sed in some Latin American coun- tries.” Regarding the situation of the paper he edits and owns, the dis- tinguished journalist said: “I am highly satisfied with “La Prensa” because it regained the position it had before its seizure, having at present an average daily cir- culation of three hundred and fifty thousand. We have no other limitation than a shortage of news- print. Outside of that it is pub- lished with complete liberty to report and comment, in the same manner done by other independent newspapers”.
