SAN ROMAN President FRANCISCO AGUIRRE Wice President and Publisher Antonio Ruiz ‘Managing Editor EDITORIAL INTERNATIONAL COMMUNISTS INFILTRATION AND THE No one should helieve national communism is manifested only in the acts and events known under the name of “cold war’, because that would be to turn our backs reality, as is the one regarding the quiet red infiltration in different countries of the world. Only that which assumes proportions of international scandal is, naturally, what finds echo in the newspapers and creates poltical problems to the great powers. However, it is convenient to think about the existence of many quiet, under-cover movements, with strict discipline and tech- nical methods, that are taking place in all the continents of the world, following blindly the orders from the Kremlin. These movements, although discreet and quiet, are very serious, in particular if the lack of preventive measures in those countries which are the objectives in the almost imperceptible maneuvers of Moscow. The tenacity of the leaders of international communism comes to light, in some cases, with plainly flagrant events, because they benefit Russian interests, creating interna- tional conflicts of very serious proportions. But in other eases, their tenacity is manifested with completely different tactics, in clandestine acts, sowing collective mistrust beneficial to any movement tending to create social instabi- lity, on which communism thrives. The tactics used for the attainment of these objectives are so difficult to identify, basically, the seriousness of the matter, because the work of the communists is developed within a great tolerance, and even with candorous participation of democratic people, of a moral and ideological background incompatible with the communistic doctrine and Those who exercise some leading function in the comu- nity and who notice on time this type of red infiltration, should sound the alarm to others, so they will be prepared, before it will be too late, against the threat that this sustain- ed effort of communist infiltration, cleverly directed from Moscow, represents.

Colombia Plans Liquor Industry, BOGOTA, Colombia — Colom- bia’s Ministry of Development (Fo- mento) is reviewing plans that may lead to a centralized con- trol of its liquuor industry and, at the same time, expand the develop- ment of its export markets. Liquor production, distribution and control has largely been a monopoly of each “department” or province, There are sixteen of these, and as a result, as many in- dividual monopolies and sets of tules. All taxes resulting from this “local option” revert to the pro- vince and are used for a variety of community services not otherwise provided by the national treasu- ry. But with the development of other aspects of its economy in a move to increase its dollar ex- change, the importance of foreign markets for any product will get top priority. Hence the current in- terest in centralizing the liquor in- dustry despite previous failures. Colombia's Ministry of Develop- ment (Fomento) to which Joaquin Vallejo has just been named as Minister,’ has been re-examining these earlier efforts and the diffi- culties encountered when they were first launched. The major problem, obviously, is to so devise the program of manufacture, exploitation amd pro- Centralization of Export Expansion motion of its liquor products so that the individual provinces will not suffer by loss of income that could completely dislocate local fin- ances, Equally important, in the opin- ion of the Minister of Development, is that central contro] of the li- | quor industry will require expert | “know-how” at the top administra- | tion level so that Colombia’s pro- | duct can compete in foreign mar- kets with the best of rums and liquors of similar nature.

British investments are pri- marily in banking. United States investments in Nicaraguan agricul- ture are of minor importance at pre | sent, although the Standard Fruit | and Steamship Co, developed in| the 1920’s a substantial production | of bananas, which it abandoned about ten years later as a result of destruction caused by hurricanes and plant diseases. The United Fruit Company has | established through a subsidiary, the CUKRA Development Company a plantation of African palms and | experimental cattle ranch in the eastern part of the country, near Bluefields. During World War II,| tubber production was developed by the American Rubber Company, but operations were discontinued in 1948. Small amounts of United States capital have been attracted ‘by the cotton boom and have part- icipated in the development of lands on the western plains. In manufacturing, foreign capit- al controls a cigarette factory, un- til recently the only one in the country, but the balance of large industrial establishments, such as cement, heer, textiles, and others, have been built with domestic cap- ital. In contrast with the relatively small importance of direct invest- ments is the substantial use made by Nicaragua of international loan capital. The most important source for the financing of Nicaragua’s economic development in recent years has been the International Bank for Reconstruction and De- velopment, which since 1951 has made eight loans to Nicaragua to- talling $18,200,000. Two of these loans were for highway construc- tion, three for electric power ex- pansion, and three for agricultural development. The Bank has loaned money to the other Central American coun- tries, but its loans to Nicaragua are more diversified and, on a per capita basis, Nicaragua is by far the largest recipient of Interna- tional Bank funds in Central Ame- tica. Nicaragua also has made use of the resources of the Internation- al Monetary Fund, from which it got $500,000 in 1948 to bolster her foreign exchange reserves. The emount was returned to the Fund in 1949, The Export Import Bank has al- so granted loans to Nicaragua. One, in 1941, was for $2,000,000 for work in the Inter American High- way; another, in 1951, was for $600,000 to purchase a diesel gen- erator for the power company in Managua. Substantial amounts of equipment (the new automatic tele phone system for Managua, agri- cultural and ginning machinery, and railraod equipment) have been bought recently in Germany and other Europen acountries and the United States with the help of medium-term credits, generally to be repaid within a period of three to five years. Nicaragua’s excellent record in meeting her foreign committments, both public and private, and the promptness with which all collec- tions are paid, have given the coun- try a high credit rating in interna- tional banking circles. ‘quantities for export.

Aramburu said today “there is no crisis” in the Argentine Government, but that “invisible strings’ were atempting to create unrest. Aramburu told the United Press in an interview that attempts to provoke unrest would be crushed. He said he intended to go ahead with his plans to restore constitu- tional rule in Argentina and that his program has the support of the “country’s sound opinion.” Asked about reports of a serous government crisis, Aramburu said: “We must believe there are cer- tain invisible strings which are moving a bitter campaign to dis- turb the country and bring the Government into disrepute. It is obvious that there is the inten- tion to cause us harm, and there- fore we want to warn Argentines and foreigners that they should not make mistakes when evaluating our national situation. “The ills of the past have been too serious to be cured already, but you can be sure that we march firmly on the way to our recovery. The Argentine people want peace and tranquility in democracy.” Aramburu said the recent army shakeup was purely a matter of dis- cipline but that certain “disturb- ing sources” were using it to whip up anti-government sentiment. “The situation recently created in the Army is of a disciplinary nature and belongs exclusively within the Army. It has no con- nection with the atmosphere which (certain elements) are trying to create. The truth is that disturbing sources take any op- portunity to start campaigns that then spread out, abusing the free- MAY 25, 1957 Provoque Unrest in Argentina Will be Crushed, President Aramburu Declares Argentine Army Colonel in Exile Predicts Aramburu’s Government Fall Before October dom of press that we respect and will respect. . .” ARAMBURU’S FALL PREDICTED IN RIO RIO DE JANEIRO, May 24 (UP) Argentine Colonel Valentin Adol- fo Irigoyen, who allegedly is the head of the Peronist organization in Brazil, declared to “Dairio da Noite” that “reports that Argen- tine exiles are conspiring in Brazil in favor of Perén are false.” “The Government of President Pedro E. Aramburu — he added — will be overthrown before Oct- ober, not because we are plotting, but because it completely lacks po- pular support.” “The rumors of a Peronist or- ganizatio nin Brazil were circulat- ed by the Argentine Government itself with the aim of deviating attention from the current crisis.” He added that the Peronist move- ment has stopped “simply because we have no money. Besides, Peron- ism is an internal matter of Ar- gentina.” Irigoyen also said that the alleg- ed Peronist radio stations in Uru- guayana do not exist, adding that this was evidence that versions about a conspiracy are false. He added that if such radio stations existed, the Brazilian Army would have discovered them immediately. “The Government of Arambu- ru is already like a fallen tree — he said —it has had four or five fights for power. The purges in the Army reach serious proportion. There is total lack of discipline. The Government in Argentina is maintaining itself for the same reasons for which they reached power: On account of Peron. They fear Peron. They know that as soon as they fall, Perén will re- turn.” Will Select Marti’s NEW YORK, May 24 (UP)—Dr. Ratil Roa, Dear of Havana’s Uni- versity Social Sciences and Public Law Faculty, called the situation of his country “dramatic.” Roa came from Havana, a few days ago, invited by the Columbia University Latin American Eco- nomic and Historic Studies Center and made the declaration at a Con- ference he held for Professors, stu- dents and newsmen, gathered in Professor Frank Tannembaun Se- minar, in that high learning es- tablishment, The speaker opined that the on- ly truly solution to the present restitution to the people of the right to freely elect its rulers in an atmosphere of full guarantees and with effective participation of all currents of public opinion.” He added that “the rebellion of youth against the present regime is nurtured at the source of the purest democratic ideals and is op- HONDURAS TO SEND DELEGATION TO THE MINISTERS MEETING TEGUCIGALPA, May 24 (UP)— The Honduran government — will send a Delegation to the Confer- ence of Ministers of Foreign Re- lations and Economy, which willl meet in Antigua, Guatemala, on Monday the 27th, The decision was approved last night after receiving assurances from the members of the OAS In- vestigating Committee and its milit- ary counselors that “not a lone Nicaraguan soldier remains on this side of the Segovia river,” which crosses the zone in dispute be- tween Honduras and Nicaragua.

A press communiqué issued by the Russian Embassy says the So- viet Union is ready to offer Méxi- co industrial and agricultural ma- chinery, as well as chemical pro- ducts, in exchange for Mexican pro- ducts. The bulletin says the Soviet Union has greatly developed her commercial relations with Argen- tina, Cuba and Uruguay, and that it wishes to do the same with Méxi- co. The bulletin adds that trade be- tween the Soviet Union and Ar- gentina has brought great mutual benefits. “The volume of foreign trade of the USSR with the Latin American countries has reached a level sub- stantially higher than the one be- fore the war — the communiqué states —. “In the last three years, the value of that trade has increas- ed to more than ten times the level of 1953. “The great purchases of sugar made by the Soviet Union in Cuba, México and Brazil have im- proved market conditions for that product. Commercial organizations of the Soviet Union purchased 465,- 000 tons of Cuban sugar. “The Soviet Union could main- tain trade relations of mutual be- nefit not only with Argentina, Uru- guay and Cuba, but also with other Latin American counrries, For in- stance, Soviet organizations in charge of foreign trade could man- tain active trade relations with Mé- xico, a country which could supply the Soviet Union products of her mining industry such as minerals and non-ferrous concentrates; agri- cultural. products such as sugar, coffee, fruits and several types of fibers and other merchan- dise.” Chicago Professor Warns the U. 5, on Neglect of Western Hemisphere WASHINGTON (UP)— _ Prof. J.

S. attention has shifted from Latin America to Europe, the Or- ient and other regions. “Involvement of the United PLOT FRUSTRATED BY HONDURAN GVT.
