EDITORIAL: PANAMERICANISM “me een sur STEERER TIES AS AN IDEAL ONLY Some times, the attitude of certain persons, gives the impression that Panamerican ism is for them only an ideal which they like to exalt only as a motive of ideological elegance, without being concérned about bringing it to practical realization. **Panamericanism must descend from the high plane of the ideas to accomplish in the institutions, with a sense of reality, its high doctrinary functions. : All the peoples of America, those constituting the Inter American System, should take advantage of Panamericanism in its manifestations of practi cal usefulness, That the solida- tity proclaimed by Panamericanism in its manifestations of practical usefulness. That the solidarity proclaimed by Pan- americanism is projected fn all the fields of activity of governments and peoples. ‘That the obligations imposed by the Inter American System create, as logical and indispensable consequence, rights and benefits. Continental solidarity de’ termines innumerable political, economic, and social obligations, which no government or people of America should try to avoid or disregard. In the same manner, that solidarity obligations to one or several should not be only to impgse countries, but also should exist to achieve, within the collective international system, the realization of many benefits. And in view of the obligations which are created, those benefits can never surpass the obligations, because the obligations imposed among themselves by the twenty-one American weight and significance. Republics are! of the greatest There are still some minority groups of leaders in inter- national politics in each country of America that remember Panamericanism to inspire themselves in excellent speeches, to evoke the glory of those who built up the ideal, but, when time arrives to put that ideal in practice, ironically they turn their backs.’ Naturally, that way of acting causes a deep distrust in the conscience of the people, and there are many who have an erroneous opinion about acting Panamericanism. Of course, even with situations of this kind and such states of mind, it is undeniable that the doctrine has already achieved tangible realizations, generous and creative of collective wellbeing for the twenty-one American nations. All this has happened because, in spite of the existence of those who belittle the importance of Panamericanism, there have been, during sixty-seven years, some governments, statesmen and thinkers, as well as thousands of perssons of good will, who have promoted the Inter American System in the institutional field, to make it go forward through paths of progress and prestige. THE UNITED STATES DEPICTED BY RED PROPAGANDA RR The Communist propaganda, without scrupples of any kind, depicts the United States as a country governed by force, where human values are not respected, where an oligarchy exercises a monopoly of wealth. In a nut shell, the United States appears to be a nation without political liberty, whose people live in the midst of economic exploitation and great misery. In other words, they depict the Russian scene and label it with the name of the United States. And while this propaganda is spread throughout the world, there is an abundance visas at all the United States States citizens may go out of of applications for immigrant Consulates abroad; the United the country anytime they wish to do so, while the Russian people do not enjoy even the right to move freely within their own territory. The failure of that pi cture of the United States as presented by Russia, could not be greater. Wealthy Attorney HAVANA, April 20 (Special to THE AMERICAS DAILY) — José Agustin, Tamargo, a wealthy lawy- er was assassinated at his residence in the Country Club Residential Subdivision by two youngsters, Eduardo Torres Otero, 19 and Jor- ge Pérez Obre, 18, who buried his body under some construction ma- terial in the yard of his own home, after robbing him. The crime was discovered when the two young men were stop- Murdered in Cuba ped by a policeman for a traffic violation and arrested for not hav- ing any document relating to the ear which they claimed they bor- rowed from its owner. They con- fessed at the Marianao detention house after Tamargo’s body was found when they were taken to the dead man’s house to find out if they were telling the truth and spied the lawyer’s dog scratching at the pile of debris. Tamargo was killed with a stiletto. For a better understanding between the Americas WIN PENDLETON WHAT? NO MAIL TODAY? — Congressman Bob Sikes last week accused Postmaster General Sum- merfield of being a bad manager. Sikes said that the public has not been told the whole truth about the ‘post office allotment of funds, As a member of the Appropria- tions Committee, Sikes claims that plenty_of money was appropriated for the operation of the Post Of- fice Department, but that Summer- field had not lived within his bud- get. “There is poor management on his part for which he, wants to shift the blame to Congress,” Sikes said. “The Post Office Department has reduced services in many areas in recent ‘years by closing post offices and consolidating facilities in the name of savings, but these socalled savings never seem to show up in the budget.” HE DIDN’T STAY — Senator Holland made his first trip to Cali- fornia last week. Holland was prin- cipal speaker at the annual meet- ing of the California Grape Tree Fruit League at the Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco. This is the outfit that “nominated” Holland to be the “third” Senator from California. People out there like Holland, because as a member of the Agriculture Committee he has done so much to help the ci- trus business — and of course every time he helps the’ Florida citrus people, the good rubs off on California. He enjoyed his trip, but they couldn’t talk him into staying. THANKS, DANTE — It took Congressman Dante Fascell to open up the launching of the earth “sa- tellite” to newsmen. Last week the Department of Defense let it be known that the satellite would be launched next year in secret. This brought a storm of protest from all Washington newsmen — but it did no good.

Result: Murray Sny- der, assistant secretary, now says we can watch it — when it hap- pens. GRAPEFRUIT PROMOTION — You can’t beat a Florida cracker when it comes to promoting his State. At last week’s regular meet- ing of the Burros Club, the mem- bers were “made aware” that: we grow oranges and grapefruit. Pre- sident Joe Fuller, administrative assistant to Congressman Jim Ha- ley, presented everybody with one ofthe new silver plated grapefruit spoons that the Florida Citrus Mu- tual is selling. These spoons have a serrated edge and are designed for cutting into a grapefruit.

Under this decree, the Arbenz re- gime summarily expropriated thou- sands of acres of land to distribute in its Communist-type agrarian re- form program. Most of these lands were returned by the courts after the Liberation Government of Castillo Armas ousted the Com. munists, and the bonds given the owners for payment were thus can- celled. The remaining ones stood, however, ‘and these are the ones the Government will now’ honor, despite the fact that they will not mature for another 23 years.

Panama National Guard Chief Goes fo West Point in Official Visit WASHINGTON, April 20 (UP) — Col. Bolivar Vallarino, com- mandant of the National Guard of Panama, left for the U. S. Military mails and- via others means of communication. Cabral directed postal workers to clamp down especially on com- munist newspapers, magazines and pamphlets mailed without cover. This was the latest Government move to restrict communist activi- ties, short of outlawing the party. Last week 360 top communists were arrested in a nationwide roundup and 56 party headquart- ers were padlocked, among them séveral newspapers. z However, the opposition of In- terior Minister Carlos Alconadas and of the leaders of a number of political parties was said to be blocking the issuance of an execu- tive decree applying severe curbs to all communist activity, in Ar- gentina. The decree has the support of the military and police security Academy at West Point, New York on the second leg of his three- week tour of U S. Army posts. Vallarino ‘arrived here Monday . at the invitation of Gen. Maxwell Taylor, Army Chief of Staff Be- fore leaving for Panamé May 6, he will visit army posts in Kansas, Texas, Georgia and North Carolf- na.” .
