EDITORIAL REGRETTABLE EXPERIENCE IN FORMOSA The attack without precedent of which the Embassy of the United States was a victim in the capital of Formosa, constitutes, no doubt, a regrettable experience which should prompt the Washington Gove opinion in the United States consideration. This fact demonstrates that the billions of dollars that rnment and leaders of public to serious investigations and the Government of the United States, in representation of the people, has given the reg Kai-Shek, have not succeeded gime of Generalissimo, Chian in promoting a solid friend- ship and mutual respect between that sector of the Chinese people under the Formosa Government and the United States. And it is not only between the Chinese people of Formosa and the United States, but also between the Taipei Government and the Government and people of the United States, since it has been demo} not to say complicity, in the nstrated that there was lenity, part of the authorities of Na- tionalist China, which did not take immediately proper measures to avoid the savage and brutal attack to the Embassy of the United States. It must be taken into consideration that what happened | was not only an act of symbolic hostility, a gesture of aversion, but something which constituted an act of physical aggression of vast proportions, with violence in extreme, as was shown in the attempt to break the iron gates of the | Code Room at the Embassy. However, the agents in charge of keeping public order, and even the troops stationed at the Formosan capital, which should have gone immediately to the scene of the disorders , remained practically uncon- cerned toward the above mentioned attack. The manner in which th e events developed speak by itself with more eloquence than the usual diplomatic ex- planations given now by the Government of Formosa, including the fact that high military officers, who did not take steps to block in time the consumation of that unciv- ilized attempt, have been removed from their posts, which clearly was aimed to appease. If Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek was readly innocent of what happened, it is necessary to take notice that this Head of Government is not prepared to exercise positive control within the limited te rritory he dominates, thanks to the fundamental and decisive support of the United States. Formosa’s international situation is excessively serious and tense for the contingency that the Chief Executive, enjoying merry vacations, does not know what occurs or may car in the country and, which is even worse, that he is not capable to maintain can bring home to him, as it international problem. publie order in matters which has happened, a very serious CAB Urged to Affirm Finding for PAA on New York-México Route Affirmation of a Civil Aeronau- ties Board examiner’s finding that Pan American World Airways is the “crystal clear” choice to oper- ate the New York-Washington-Mé- kico City nonstop route was asked of the Board Wednesday by the airline.

The country’s railroad system has been developed entirely by foreign capital. United States, British, and Canadian investments are the most important. The major United States investment in ET Salvador is in the International |Railways of Central America, plus substantial investments in interna- tional telecommunication, port fa- cilities, air service installations, gold mining and insurance. During the last decade there has been a trend toward investments of U. S. capital in manufacturing and service industries. El Salva- dor’s cement plant was established with U. S. capital, but was bought later by Salvadoreans. A new, modern shoe factory was built with technical assistance and some cap- ital participation of a U. S. shoe manufacturer, The new __ instant coffee and agricultural insecticide plants have one-half U. S. partici- pation. British investment in the coun- try is largely concentrated in the Salvador Railway, but it is also re- presented in banking and insur- ance. Canadian investment is in the major private electric power |company of the country. Foreign investment in the form of loans, now consist mainly of Internation- al Bank loans for electric power and a new highway. No Export- Import Bank loans have been made since the Inter American Highway loan of 1941. El Salvador has received a large amount of foreign technical assist- ance from both the United States and international sources. Partici- pating in such aid have been a comprehensive United Nations Mis- sion in 1952 and several specializ- ed United Nations agencies, in particular the World Health Or- ganization, which assisted in a rur- al demonstration project. In addi- tion, aid has been provided during the last 5 years by the United Na- tions International Children’s Emer gency Fund and CARE, and tech- nical assistance in various fields was rendered by the Food and Agriculture Organization and UN ESCO. The United States Internation- al Cooperation Administration pro- vides technical assistance in the fields of public administration, la- bor, education, agriculture, fisher- ies, health and sanitation, and in- dustry. Advice has been given in the reorganization of the Ministry of Labor, standards in labor-law enforcement, industrial hygiene and safety, employment of women and children, and workers’ train- ing education. In education, service are rendered in connection with elementary agricultural trainining, {elementary vocational training, |English language courses, home economics, and a new industrial vocational school. In 1955, a new joint United | States-Salvadorean service, the |“Servicio Agricola Cooperativo Sal- vadorefio-Americano”, was formed to take over almost all the agri- cultural research activities of the Ministry of Agriculture. Help was also being given in connection with ithe foundation of a National School of Agriculture, extension services, seed production, control of pests and diseases, and other agricultural activities. Fishery re- sources have been investigated | with U. S. technical assistance, and U. S. experts have given advice in the drafting of new fisheries leg- islation to attract investments in- to this field. Spanish Version Page 3 | | a private car for Eastern Air Lin MRS.

S. INVESTMENT IN MEXICO OVER BILLION DOLLARS NEW YORK, May 28 (UP)—The | Vicepresident of the American | Trust Company, H. Eugene Dick- huth, revealed that foreign invest- ments in México surpass now one billion dollars. In an article published in “View- |point,” organ of the Company, Dickhuth stated that the total of new investments in México, during 1956, was $89,000,000 or a 15 per | cent more than in 1955. | Dikhuth returned recently from a visit to México. He reported that the “healthy fiscal policy” of the present administration has attract- ed a number of foreign invest- ments without precedent to Méxi- co and created general prosperity in that country. He added that the reason why | the foreign capitalists feel inclin- ed to go to México, in numbers each time greater is because there is constant proof of stability “in Mexican economic policies and direction ” Dickhuth pointed out that “last year saw an increase of $60,000,- 000 in foreign exchange reserves.” He called attention to the fact that the Banco de México’s gold | and dollars reserve reached, on| December 31 $604,000,000 and on| April 28 they added up to $441,-| 000,000 after the regular season’s | decrease.

GUATEMALA, May 28 (UP)— Colonel Armando Velasquez, ex Ambassador of Honduras in Méxi- co and prominent figure in Hon- duran politics, who last Friday was grantde assylum at the Guatemal- an Embassy in Tegucigalpa, arriv- ed here yesterday afternoon. Colonei Velasquez, as reported THERE WAS NO PLOT AGAINST GOVERNMENT OF HONDURAS, EX AMBASSADOR DECLARES by the United Press, sought as- sylum after members of the Hon- duran Public Security tried to capt- ure him, accusing him of heading a plot against the Honduran Mi- litary Government Junta. Colonel Velasquez declared here to the United Press that “it is com- pletely false that there existed a plot against the Junta” and re- gretted that several of his friends — both civilian and military — have been arrested, considering them as participants in the alleged plot.

The Tahiti Nue broke its tow eable and went down 240 miles from Chile’s mid-Pacific Juan Fer- nandez Island. The expedition’s leader, French scientist Erie de Bisschops. had hoped to repair the raft there and finish the voyage to Chile’s main port of Valparaiso. The raft left Tahiti last Nov. 8, reversing the route of Thor Heyer- dahl’s Kon-Tiki. Both raft voyages were made in efforts to determine whether Polynesians originated in South America or sailed there from the Pacific Islands. Garcia Palacios, who handled publicity for the expedition here, told United Press: “After seven months on the high* seas covering more than 6,-| 000 miles at the mercy of the winds amd the ocean currents it has been proved the trip could have been completed if it had been attempted in a more propitious sea- son. “My friend’s raft was sunk by one of the worst tempests record- ed on the South Pacific, where winter is now well advanced” | aa Pays for Treatment of Sick Cuban Girl WASHINGTON, May 24 (UP)— A beautiful 24-year old Cuban girl arrived here for special treatment of a heart condition which she says has been weakening her for more than four years, The girl, Miss Xiomara Bofill was flown here for treatment — and possible surgery — at Georgetown University Hospital, after appear- ing on a Havana television pro- gram.

The choice is Pan American.” TARIFFS PREDICTED NEW YORK (UP)— The Journ- al of Commerce predicts that Cuba will increase its tariffs on certain imports when it overhauls its dut- ies and that the new tariff will be expanded from its present level of 1,000 items to about 6,000. This since 1927. The United States and Cuba will soon start negotiations on trading concessions to offset these expect- ed increases. Under the general agreement on tariffs and trade a member country when it revises tariffs must renegotiate all increas: es of duties. Thus if Cuba raises duties on certain items where con- cessions are now granted, this country would be entitled to com- pensation in some form, perhaps concessions in other items. The Journal of Commerce pre- probably not affect automobiles, certain machinery and agricultural items. One of the aims of the re- vision of the Cuban tariffs, it was said, was simplification which will make it easier for exporters to will be the first revision in Cuba| dicted that Cuba’s new rates would| SUGAR MILL FIRE CAUSES HEAVY DAMAGES HAVANA (UP)— A fire of un- known origin caused losses of more than 800,000 dollars at the “Resolu- | cién,” hear Catalina de Guines, Ha- na Province. | The fire destroyed the warehous- |es in which, between 45,000 and 50,- 000 sugar bags were stored, and other departments of the company.

Frances Gaw, senior research analyst for Kansas City, and Ri- chard C, Murray, chairman of the Air Transport Committee of the Kansas City. Chamber of Commerce appeared as witnesses before a ci- vil aeronautics board examiner. Examiner John Cannon opened a Board investigation into wheter to certify Braniff or American Airlines to operate over the route. Under the bilateral agreement, each government cam certify only one line to fly over each of the routes defined in the agreement, including Chicago-México City. Miss Gaw did not indorse Bran- iff by name. She asserted that Mé- xico City is an important potential market for Kansas City and that the two cities lack direct air con- nections. Murray also emphasized the im- portance of México City to Kansas City and the surrounding area. He said that failure to grant the route to Braniff would deprive that area of one-carrier, service to the Méxi- can capital. CARRANZA’S DEATH COMMEMORATED MEXICO CITY. (UP)— The 37th anniversary of the death of Venus- tiano Carranza, founder of México’s Constitutionalist Army, was com- memorated here with a ceremony at the revolutionary monument.
