EDITORIAL THE PROBLEM OF NUCLEAR TESTS Certainly the Government of the United States must have powerful reasons for refusing to discontinue the tests of nuclear weapons, in particular those in small seale, even though certain groups of scientists are opposed to them, because they consider the effect of radioactivity is dan- gerous in extreme for humanity. In recent statements, President Eisenhower declared to newspapermen that he does not believe it will be neces- sary to produce another explosion as that of the hydrogen bomb which was exploded in 1954, which, because of its the Pacifie Ocean on March, power, caused considerable damages. According to these statements, the new tests will be much less dangerous. It is evident that the use of that type of weapons, even when they are only tested, is very inconvenient for the world, because the consequences of radioactivity can be terrible for the human race. United States knows that, The Government of the and in particular President Eisenhower, whose capacity in this field is well recognized and admired. It is logical to think, therefore, that the Chief Executive knows what he is doing, and since nobody can deny his patriotism and his sense of humanity, one must believe that, within the cirew mstances, the tests are neces- sary for the security of the people of the United States, which is also the security of the democratic world. It would be ideal if the danger and threats represented by Soviet imperialism would disappear, or that a practical way could be found to make the powerful enemies of Christian civilization submit to a sincere international con- trol in everything related to nuclear weapons, so that neither side could use them against humanity. But as long as the international problem provoked by communism in dangerous proportions exists, and as long as Russia continues increasin, g her military might and making progress in the field of the above mentioned lethal weapons, it is very difficult to have, without serious dangers for the security of the western world, the United States discontinue the tests which, with plenty of reason, are causing so much concern to scientists and alarm in all the countries. It is convenient to think how terrible it would be that only Russia could make progress in the development of those weapons, because that would mean, in fact, the subju- gation of all humanity, the violent imposition of communism. Venezuelan Destroyers in Norfolk NORFOLK, Virginia (UP) — Yhe Venezuelan destroyers Zulia and Aragua arrived at the U. S. Naval Base here, ready to parti- cipate in the international naval re- view in Hampton Roads next Wed- CUBANA ORDERS TWO TURBO PROP PLANES FROM BRITISH FIRM LONDON, June 7 (UP)— Com- pania Cubana de Aviacién has or- dered two Bristol Britannia 310 long range turbo-prop _ airliners, the Bristol Airplane Company, the makers, announced today.

First foreign ship to arrive from any country was the Uruguayan destroyer-escort Uruguay, reached Norfolk May 30. which | THE AM For a better understanding between the Americas MIAMI SPRINGS, FLA., SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1957 a Se OF SPANISH LECTURER AT THE PAN AMERICAN UNION Know’thy Neighbor By ANTONIO RUIZ BRZIL — The twenty States, the Federal District and the five Territories comprising the United States of Brazil may be conven- iently divided into three broad geo- graphic areas: the torrid Amazon Basin of the north; the half forest and half desert expanse of up- lands in the northeast; and the mountains and plateaus of the een- tral and southern areas. The Amazon region of North- ern Brazil is sparsely settled, be- ing a lowlying, tropical valley forming the basin of the great Amazon River. Its name was be- stowed upon it by Francisco de Orellana, the Spanish explorer who, in 1541, first traveled its length from the eastern foothills of the Andes to the Atlantic Ocean. He named it Rio Amazonas, in honor of a tribe of: white women war- riors he elaimed he had discovered there. Rising in the Andes, the Amazon sweeps eastward through dense underbrush and thick Equatorial forest to the Atlantic Ocean. Here, in its mouth is Marajé Island, one hundred miles wide from north to south, and 180 miles long from east to west. This immense watercourse, traversing almost four thousand miles from source to mouth, is the second longest river in the world, being exceeded in length only by the Nile, while for sheer size it is unsurpassed, With a width of more than 170 miles at its mouth and one mile at Tabatinga, 2,000 miles from the Atlantic, the majestic river pours itself into the sea in such a terrific volume that it turns the wter of the Atlantic fresh for about 200 miles. Navigable ofr ocean-going vessels for more than 2,300 miles, the greater part of the Amazon lies in Brazil, where it is fed in the north by the Ica, Japura and Negro rivers, and from the south by the Jurtia, Purtis, Madeira, Ta- pajéns, and Xigu, each of these tributaries having one thousand or more miles in length. At least in their lower reaches, about half o fthe Amazon tributaries are navigable. The area it drains includes the whole north- ern region of the country and ex- tends over half the length of Brazil in the central and western sec- tions. Included in the Amazonian Brazil are the states of Amazonas, Pard, Maranhao, the upper parts of Mato Grosso and Goias, and the Federal territories of Acre, Ama- pa, Rio Branco, and Guapore. The major portion of this area, with the exception of the highland plains and south and southeastern Mato Grosso and Goias, is no more than a few hundred feet above sea level, and the climate is uniform- ly damp and very hot. Rainfall in this region averages 79 inches per year, while the aver- age mean temperature is 80 de- grees Fahrenheit. Because of the tropical climate and rich, alluvial soil, the basin is covered with lux- uriant vegetation, virgin forest or selvas abounding in innumerable forest products. About one fourth, or more or less fifty thousand of the world’s known vegetable spe- cies, are found in Brazil. The greatest wealth of Amazonian Brazil consists of rubber, Brazil nuts, oilseeds, and timber. Spanish Version Page 3 SPANISH FOR BEGINNERS TO SEE Do I see you? Do you see me? Do I see him?

An- derson for the post of Secretary of the Treasury, the perspectives of a more flexible United States policy at the time in which the President Lemus Praises Freedom of the Press SAN SALVADOR, June 7 (UP) —With the occasion of the celebra- tion here of Freedom of the Press Day, President José Maria Lemus issued the following statement: “For the free peoples this date has singular significance, because it is dedicated to point out the value of free expression and the need to contribute to maintain it through commoun efforts proclai- ming our invariable conduct toward one of the most precious conquests of civilization. “This is a propitious opportunity to think that the problems of free- dom concern all society and, there- fore, should constitute perennial concern of all. “As a citizen and as President, I have always expressed my cohs- tant support of freedom of expres- sion, considering it linked to the greatest realizations of material Progress and of civic superation. “I am glad on this day to send cordial greetings to all the press of the Americas, in particular to the Salvadorean press, on whose integrity, equilibrium and moral strength depends that we maintain the splendid value of our construe- tive concept of freedom.” R. Rubottom and Dr. Eisenhower to Visit México WASHINGTON, June 7 (UP)— Assistant Secretary of State for Latin American Affairs, Roy R. Rubottom, pointed out today the important role of cultural relations hetween México and the United States. In an interview which will be televised in México, Rubottom points out that last year there were 11,308 Mexican students in the United States, and said a substan- tial inerease is shown every year, which constitutet evidence. that cultural bonds are, getting constant- iy closer, Rubottom will go to México on June 16, in a two-week visit as guest of the neighboring country, icans Hope Anderson will Change U. S. Economic Policy Inter American Economie Con- ference will meet in Buenos Aires next August will have improved. Anderson will succeed George M. Humprey, who. resigned week as Secretary of the Treasury, asking to be relieved of his duties as soon as Congress adjourns, which probably will be at the be- ginning of July. It is presumed, for this reason, that Anderson will attend the Con- ference which will open its deli- berations in the Argentine capital on August 15th. Being only 46 years old, Ander- son will be the youngest member of the Cabinet. Coming from Texas, he backed up President Eisenhow- er although he is a democrat. He has adopted the so-called “young Republican” philosophy and it is known that he lends more import- ance to foreign countries aid, and other forms of international eco- nomic cooperation, than Humprey. Diplomatic circles predict that Anderson will lend a more favor- able ear to Latin American. pro- posals about more energetic eco- nomic measures for Hemispheric development. As head of the Unidted States Delegation to the Conference of Ministers of the: Treasury which met in Rio de Janeiro in 1954, Humphrey rejected the majority of the proposals and assumed the position that applications for eco- nomic aid should be made to the existing credit organisms, as the Export-Import Bank and the World Bank, Reliable sources said that Ander- son is partial to the same fiscal policy, but at the same time is less conservative than Humprey and tends to discuss these matters with foreign policies assessor, HEMISPHERIC EVENTS Latin American News in Brief PABLO CASALS IS RECOVERING WELL SAN JUAN, P. R. (UP)— Pablo Casals, Spanish refugee cellist who suffered a heart attack here April 16, has recoveréd sufficiently to take brief walks and practice on the piano and cello, it was an- nounced.

(Photo PAU) , ; Puerto Rico to Sign Accord on Guest Students WASHINGTON, June 7 (UP)— Puerto Rico and the International Cooperation Administration (ICA), are about to reach a new ac- cord by which the island would be visited during the next three years by some 3,000 foreign technical students, half of them form Latin America. Dr. Arturo Morales Carrién, Un- dersecretary of State of Puerto Rico, conferred with Rollin At- wood, Regional Director of ICA’s Latin American Division, to dis- cuss final details of the accord. Atwood declared later to the United Press that the Puerto Ri- can program, established first in 1950, has become “one of the most important phases” of the agency’s operations in Latin America. He explained that the program of instruction sponsored by ICA costs about $60,000,000 annually, half of which is supplied by the United States and the balance by the participant nations. According to Morales Carrién, during the last seven years Puerto Rico was visited by 4,000 technical students from all parts of the world about half of which were from Lat- in America, Envoys Present Credentials to Pérez Jiménez CARACAS, June 7 (UP)— The new Colombian Ambassa- dor, General Francisco Tamayo Cortés, and the new Bolivian Ambassador, Dr. Samuel Marin Pareja, presented their credent- ials to the President of the Re- public, General Marcos Pérez Ji- ménez, in separate ceremonies at the Miraflores Palace. ed priest arrested in Caracas last week on charges of counterfeiting Peruvian currency, was unfrocked “some time ago” for unspecified violations of Canon Law. A spokesman for the Archdio- cese said Church authorities were not notified of Arteta’s appoint- ment as Cultural Attaché of the Peruvian Embassy in Caracas. The statement was the first for- mal Peruvian comment on the case of Arteta, who is accused of plan- ning to smuggle nearly $16 mil- lion worth of bogus currency into this country. Authoritative Government sour- ces said he is a “mystic madman,” but did not question his priestly status, First reports from Caracas, ten- tatively confirmed by the Peruvian Ambassador there, identified the prisoner as Cultural Attaché of the Embassy.

Batista Declares HAVANA, June 7 (UP)—Presi- dent Fulgeneio Batista declared that there will be no new “truces”’ in the campaign against the arm- ed revolt. Batista’s declarations coincide with reports from the city of Baya- mo, in Oriente Province, which say that medium bombers of the Cub- an Air-Force, operating from Ca- magiiey, “intensely bombed” three points at the Sierra Maestra be- tween 3:40 and 5:10 P. M. on Thursday. These points were i- dentified as La Nevada, Los Pi- cos and El Hombrito. On the other hand, a small bomb caused alarm and some minor damage, but no casualties, when it exploded in a lawyer’s office in the First National Bank of Boston building third flood in “old Hava- na.” No arrests have been made up to now. The President uttered the warn- ing during a speech he delivered before the leaders of the govern- ment political coalition. He said that “only cretins” could believe the rumor being spreaded that he will withdraw in favor of a Military Junta. He added: “We will never shirk our duties.” Addressing more than thirty pro- vincial and national leaders of the three political parties which form the “National Progressist Coalition, and which, Batista said, represents more than 1,600,000 voters, the President urged his followers to start campaigning. “The political solution (of the Cuban internal problems) is on the march,” Batista declared add- ing that he, as President, “cannot personally participate in that move- ment.” President Batista expressed strong criticism of ex President Carlos Prio Socarras and Fidel Cas- tro, leader of the rebels fighting the government forces in Sierra Maestra. The most energie critic- ism was directed to Dr. Prio Soca- rrés. REBELLION UNIMPORTANT SAYS CUBAN AMBASSADOR. MADRID, June 7 (UP)—Cuban Ambassador, Dr. Juan J. Remos, declared that “the only Cuban re- bellion focus is in the Sierra Maes- tra.” In an interview published by the newspaper “Arriba,” the Cub- an Ambassador stated that “the in- surrection lack importance and the government have isolated the subversive redoubts.” He added that he believes the insurrection, although directed by lawyer Fidel Castro, “it is almost certain that ex President Carlos Prio Socarrds is behind it.” Dr. Prio Socarrés is now in exile in Miami, Florida. Dr. Remos concluded: “Cuba participates in that mid- dle age which, according to Ber- diaef, is shaking the world. It is sad as my country is going through the most florishing era of her history. It 1s not General Batista what is being decided, it is Cuba as, in the end, governments come and go; but the state of mind re- mains: Culture. . .that is, in reality, that which unite and what mat ters.” Nationalist “March Of Silence’ Forbidden by Argentine Police BUENOS AIRES, June 7 (UP) Police refused today to permit “The March of Silence,” organized by nationalist and neoperonist newspapers to commemorate the date in which counter revolution- aries, civilian and military, were executed after the abortive revolt of June 9, 1956. The announcement of the police says the organizers lack the “egal standing” required by laws on pub- lic meeting “and do not fulfill the requirments of current laws on the matter.” The Minister of Interior, Carlos Alconada Aramburu, hads confirm ed before that a request for a per- mit had been made for the demon- stration which was to take place to- morrow, but he pointed out that, according to reports, the applicants are neither a political party nor a group with legal standing, and this had been interpreted as forecasting the permit would be denied. POLICE USE TEAR GAS AGAINST PERONISTS CORDOBA, Argentina (UP) — Police used tear gas here to break up a crowd of about 1,000 Peron- ists who gathered in San Martin Square to celebrate the 11th anni- versary of ousted ex President Juan D. Perén’s first inauguration. There was some scuffling be- tween demonstrators and police and two “noise bombs” were set off, but there were no casualties. About 80 demonstrators were ar- rested.

I, where he plans to spend a brief vacation with his family. “Argentina has developed a very friendly and cooperative relation: . ship with the United States and the other countries of the hemisphere,” the 58-year old diplomat told the United Press in a plane-side inter- view. Beaulae cited the recent South Atlantic defense talks at Buenos Aires and the UU. S,Argentine Technical Cooperation Agreement signed last Monday as the most re- cent instances of President Pedro E.
