Fla.. on February 8. 1956, EDITORIAL RNP ENTREES FRIENDSHIP WITH THE PEOPLE OF LATIN AMERICA _—————— For the United States, as a nation, it is convenient in a high degree to enjoy the friendship of the people of the twenty Latin American countries. It would be unnecessary to affirm this, if it were not that there are many who believe, erroneously, of course, that cultivate the friendship of the kind of regimes they are. It is suitable that, for m the important thing is to governments, no matter what ultiple reasons, the Washing- ton Government undertakes to maintain in terms of reci- procal cordiality and respect its relations with all the Latin American governments, because that is of undeniable impor- tance for this country as well the continent. as for the sister republics of What would be unwise would be not to do everything possible to achieve a better understanding and greater solidarity with the Latin American peoples, who not always are well represented by their respective governments. Those in Washington with the heavy responsibility of directing the Inter American policies of this great nation, should take into consideration the people of the Latin American countries, to do everything possible to win their friendship and to demonstrate to them that all the citizens of the United States want to cultivate their friendship on the basis of a well understood reciprocity. To maintain Inter Ameri ican relations within the cold rocedures of the foreign offices would be a serious error, ecause current international events and the complications of world politics demand that between the United States and Latin America there should exist a deep feeling of solidarity, and that type of solidarity has to be horn, of necessity, in the conscience of the people of the twenty one countries, in order to bear fruits that may result in the kind of collective security which circumstances demand. In that work of sincere reapproachment not only the Government officials should take part, but also all the leaders of the country who, for reasons of their public in- fluence or because of their knowledge of matters of Inter American character, are in a condition to contribute to the achievement of this purpose. Of course, there is no doubt that the White House and the Department of State can do much, with their attitude, in favor or against that policy of friendship toward the people of the Latin Ameri- ean countries. Cantinflas to be Pérez Jiménez Guest at Premiere of Around the World Film CARACAS — Cantinflas, star of Michael Todd’s “Around The World In 80 Days” will be the guest of the President of Venezuela, Gen- eral Mareos Pérez Jiménez at a special Command Performance of COLOMBIAN LEADERS OF TWO PARTIES IN POLITICAL TOUR MEDELLIN, June 24 (UP) — The most outstanding figures of the two traditional political parties of Colombia, united now in a ci- vilian front which ousted the dic- tatorship of Rojas Pinilla, atttended a huge “patriotic meeting” in the bullring of “La Macarena” of this} city., The head of the Liberal Party, Alberto Lleras Camargo, and con- servative leader, Guillermo Leén Valencia, candidate for President of the Republic, were the princi- pal speakers in the demonstration. Lleras and Valencia came to Me- dellin in one of a series of politi- eal tours ‘they have planned throughout the country. In a huge reception by conservatives and li- berals, Lleras Camargo ratified his support to the candidacy of Valencia, while the latter promised a democratic government, with gua- rantees for members of both par- ties. These two are the first public demonstration that have taken place freely in Colombia in the the Academy Award winning show tomorrow night, Tuesday, at the Boyaca Theatre in Caracas, Vene- zuela. This Presidential Coramand Performance is a rare occurrence, happening at most once a year. This also marks the Latin America premiere of the show. Cantinflas flew from México Ci- ty to Caracas on last Thursday (June 20), and has been perform- ing his famous comic bull fight in the local bull ring for the benefit of the Venezuelan Boy’s Town, as well as making personal appear- ances on behalf of the charity. The public unveiling of “Around The Worid” takes place Wednes- day evening. Spanish titles have been inserted. The Boyacdé Theatre underwent a $100,000 refurnishing which covered the installation of new seating facilities, a special screen, a new Westrex sound sy- stem and other renovations. There has been great anticipation in Latin America of the Michael Todd production. All magazines end newspapers have been follow- ing the exploits of Todd and com- pany ever since the first day of filming. The main reason has been the fantastic popularity of Cantin- flas, whose box office draw south of the border, equals that of a com- bination of Charlie Chaplin and Clark Gable in the United States. enphatically condemn violence which has razed Colombian fields and in asking the whole country last eight years. Valencia and Lleras agreed in to cooperate in the re-establish: ment of peace. For a better understanding between the Americas MIAMI SPRINGS, FLA., TUESDAY, JUNE 25, 1957 Know’ thy Neighbor By ANTONIO RUIZ COSTA RICA. — Cartago, a hos- pitable city that still keeps the atmosphere and charm of colonial times, is located about 22 miles from San José, and is connected to the Costa Rican capital by a highway that goes through pictur- esque little towns and splendid cof- fee plantations. The oldest city founded by the Spaniards, Carta- go was once the capital of Costa Rica. Although it has suffered great damage in several earth- quakes, it still has most of its col- onial buildings, the most famous of which is the Church of Our Lady of the Angels, erected on the site where, it is said, the Virgin Mary gave a country girl a little statue of herself, carved in black stone, which is still at the church and is highly revered. One of the most picturesque sites is the market place of Cartago on Sundays, when the country folks from all the surrounding areas con- gregate there to sell their products, which are brought to town in the typical Costa Rican oxcarts de- corated in elaborate designs paint- ed in very bright colors, The same highway connecting Cartago with San José takes the visitor to the Orosi Valley, which is crossed by the Reventaz6n River. The church of Orosi, built by Span- ish Missionaries more than three hundred years ago, has art treasu- res well worth seeing. Not far from the town, in the midst of an al- most unexplored forest, one finds the famous Oros{ Falls, about 320 feet high. From the summit of the Irazi voleano, at more than 10, 000 feet above sea level, there is a magnificent view of the Cordillera Central (Central Mountain Range). On a clear day one can see not only Lake Nicaragua, but both the Atlantic and Pacifie oceans from there. The people of Nicaragua, El Sal- vador and Honduras differ from those of the other two Central American Republics — Costa Ri- ca and Guatemala — in that there has been more mixture of the races, making a fairly homo- geneous group. In these countries the Indians did not remain a dis- tinct entity as in Guatemala, and were not exterminated as in Costa Rica. European ancestry predomi- nates in the upper classes of Costa Rica, while the laboring class is part Indian in features and cus- toms, although there is but a small part that does not show a mixture of Spanish blood. Costa Rica has a vast network of rivers and because of the mount- ainous sources, water power is abundant. Of the sixteen rivers in Costa Rica, the most important is the San Juan, which drains Lake Nicaragua into de Caribbean. Of its several tributaries coming from the Central Cordillera, the most im- portant is the San Carlos River, On the Pacific coast the most popu- lous part of the country around San José is drained by the Rio Grande de Terraba, Most of the Pacific rivers are liable to sud- den floods, Everywhere in the Costa Rican valleys the soil is unusually rich, a product of volcanic ash deposited over the centuries. The Costa Ric- an volcanoes are practically ex- tinct now, although some are still mildly active. The principal mount- ains in the northern range are Irazi, 11,200 feet high, and Tur- rialba, 10,900 feet; while in the southern range the highest is Chi- ropo Grande, with 12,447 feet.

Losada brough up in the inter- view that there were talks about a Venezuelan loan to Ecuador, and asked: Does this mark the begin- ning of a policy of bilateral econo- mic aid to Latin American coun- tries by Venezuela?” “Up to now there are not con- crete negotiations between Vene- zuela and Ecuador—Pérez Jiménez pointed out. “Recently we sent a Technical Mission to Ecuador. Ve- nezuela, stands ready to lend not only economic aid, but aid of any kind that may be needed, in all the cases in which we would be able to render it.” In another part of the interview the newspaperman observed that Venezuela’s participation in the oil exploitation is on a 50-50 basis, and added: “However, in accordance with official documents Venezue- la’s participation has increased to a 56 per cent. “Does this mean ez Renews Offer of $30,000,000 for Hemispheric Fund that your country aspires to a progressive betterment of the be- nefits obtained from its main wealth?”, asked the representative of “Vision”. “The development of the oil in- dustry in Venezuela and the pro- fits the nation derives from it, are a concrete index of the Venezuelan aspirations in the matter”, was the answer of the Chief Executive. Pérez Jiménez added that “Instead of the theorical expression of sowing oil, we present the re- sultant fact of harvesting oil. He explained his country is carrying out plans of action in all fields to create a diversified and sufficiently strong national economy. “I will mention among other realities — he said — the Turen Agricultural Unity and the Gua- rico River Irrigation System, alrea- dy finished, and the Agricultural and Livestock Unit of the Andes and the Bocono and Masparro ri- vers Irrigation System, now in construction.” The President mentioned also “the National Electrification Plan, in which the Caroni River System with an initial capacity of 300,000 kilowatts is outstanding; the Na- tional Highways Plan, comprising a system of first class highways, already finished in their majority; 5,000 kilometers of railways, now in construction; and canalization of the Orinoco river and the Ma- racaibo Lake bar.” “The steel industry —he added — which will begin operations in 1958 with an initial capacity of 600,000 tons; the Petro-Chemical industry, which will initiate work at the end of the current year and the increase in the production of basic foods, which have per- mitted the liquidation of the tradi- tionally existing deficit”. HAVANA, June 24 —(UP)—The Cuban Episcopate reiterated the apolitical stand of the Catholic Church on political questions, while the National Newspapermen Col- lege was issuing strong declarations condemning violence and as a protest of the aggressions to free- dom of information. In a statement signed by Cama- guey’s bishop as secretary of the Episcopate Conference, the Prelate said: “While contemplating the situation the country is going through and attentive always in di- recting public opinion, specially, catholic;” the Episcopate reiter- ates that the Church, without ever ignoring high politics, remains out- side of any political party. The bishop’s declaration adds that every good catholic should observe the norms of rank, with- out impairing the rights they have as citizens.

Brig. Gen. Antonio Kebreau, head of the junta that seized pow- er here a week ago Friday, said in a written interview that it is “counting heavily” on foreign aid to end Haiti’s chronic poverty. He added, however, that the gov- ernment will not tolerate meddl- ing by foreigners in Haitian af- fairs. The warning appeared to be meant for foreign merchants who support “general strikes” of the type that have become a standard political weapon here in the past six months. Kebreau would not set a specific date for elections. He indicated that they may be held before Octo- ber. “Elections will be decreed as soon as calm returns and the ad- ministration has been reorganized,” he said. “These two conditions could be realized before the maxi- mum time of 90 days mentioned in your question. “It all depends on the spirit of comprehension and patritiotism of the various political sectors, to whom we have already appealed.” CUBAN CONGRESSMAN ESCAPES ASSASSINS BULLETS IN HAVANA HAVANA, June 24 (Special to THE AMERICAS DAILY)— Dr. Candido Mora Morales, House of Representative member, escaped an assassination attempt today, in which his companion, Antonio Ro- driguez méndez, was killed Mora and his companion were in a car on their way home, when another car pulled at the side and the occupants started firing with machine guns.

The gray-haired former President was principal speaker at a rally Sunday attended by some 1,100 an- ti-Batista Cubans who agreed to put aside “petty” factional differ- ences and work together to oust the present Cuban regime. Thirteen leaders representing the five chief organizations work- ing against Batista addressed the group and drew loud cheers and chants of “unity, unity, unity” from the crowd in a downtown theater. The movement was historic in that the several groups opposing Batista in the past have worked separately toward the goal of turn- ing out his Government and have often engaged in factional feuds among themselves. Cubans cheered loud and long yesterday when Prio said that if anti-Batista forees had been united last March when the Directorio Re- volucionario group attacked Batis- ta’s palace, Cuba “would be free” today. One of the speakers at the rally was Alberto Mora, son of Menelao Mora, who planned the palace at- tack and died in the unsucceesful attempt to kill Batista. Young Mo- ra proposed creation of an Execu- tive Board to organize and direct the anti-Batista movement. The board would be headed by one man, but composed of representa, tatives of all the revolutionary groups. Although no action was taken yesterday on this proposal, if such a board were set up, Prio pre- sumably would be the head man. Prio now lives in exile at Miami Beach. He was overthrown by Ba- tista in a bloodless coup in March of 1952. In his talk to the croud, Prio had high praise for another re- volutionary, Fidel Castro who, with his group of young rebels, is hiding out in Cuba’s mountains and car- rying on guerrilla warfare with Ba- tista’s troops. He called Castro a sinus hero” of the Cuban peo- ple. Anti-Batista organizations repre- sented at the meeting were the Di- rectorio, the Triple A, the Organi- zacién Auténtica, the Frente Civi- co de Mujeres Martianas and the ae of July Assn., headed by Cas- ro. All the groups are actively operating in Cuba, but many mem- bers live in exile in this country. There is no Dispute About Borders Ambassador Villeda Morales States International Court to be Asked How to Put Into Effect King‘ WASHINGTON, June 24 (UP)— The Ambassador of Honduras, Dr. Ramén Villeda Morales, said today that his Government accepted to take the border dispute with Ni- caragua to the International Court of Justice of The Hagge, “only to determine the manner in which the decision of the King of Spain should be put into effect.” The Ambassador declared to the United Press that he was is- suing the statement “in the name of my Government and my peo- ple,” in order to clear misunder- standings that may have resulted from press reports on the problem. tial Palace on March 13, in which he died.

In the same way that the Egyptians never consuited with us the measures that resulted in the nationalization of the Suez Can- al, I decidedly believe that only Pn amanians should discuss and try to find solutions to the problems we have due to the fact of the Canal being in our territory.” In regard to another question, also related to the Canal, the Min- istry revealed “an apparent halt” in the negotiations between Boyd and United States Ambassador, Ju- lian F, Harrington, about Panama- nian inspectors boarding the ves- sels of Panamanian registry, navi- gating through the Canal.

There was no offictat comment but morning newspapers predicat- ed the drop will bring a cut in government spending. The autho- ritative El Mercurio said editoria- lly the government would have to reduce exprenses “to avoid an ec- onomic calamity”.

Ville- da Morales said: “As far as Hon- duras is concerned, there is no dispute over the Honduran-Nicara- guan border.” He affirmed that the Decission of the King of Spain in 1906, which gave Honduras all territory north of the Coco or Segovia River, which is now also claimed by Nicaragua, was final and without appeal. Hon- duras will request the Court to de- termine the manner in which the decision should be put into effect, said the Ambassador, pointing out that his country will not aks for a decision on whether the “decision is void,” as Nicaragua has affirmed. “Not to ask the tribunal to de cide only in which manner the de- cision should be put into effect — Villeda Morales said — is to turn one’s back to the institution of arbitration, which is one of the pil- lars in which the Inter American juridical system rests.” Meanwhile, Panamanian Ambas- sador Ricardo M. Arias, chairman of the adhoc commission of the Or- ganization of American States in charge of finding a peaceful solu- tion to the 50-year dispute, said to- day that Wednesday he will submit a report to the Council, adding that he has received no reports from thte commission of two Am- bassadors which went to the two capitals last week to submit a three point plan to Hondzras and Nica- ragua. This plan is based on the Bo- all disputes, but has not been of ficially published. Ambassador Luis Quintanilla, | one of the members of the delega- tion, was quoted in news reports as saying the two nations had ac cepted to take the problem to the International Court of Justice, According to these reports, Quin- tanilla said in México upon arrival from Central America: “Honduras and Nicaragua will take their dif: ferences to the International Court of Justice. . .In the understanding that this time it will not be sub- mitted to it the question of borders already decided in 1906. Honduras will request the Court to give an opinion on the manner to put inte immediate effect the decision, and Nicaragua will submit to the tri- bunal her demand against the vali- Gity of the decision. In other words, no judgment will be made in what already has been judged, which would be anti-juridical.” Arias said Quintanilla is expect- ed soon in Washington, as well as the other member of the mission, Eduardo Augusto Garcia. year, will go to the United States, While producers in the U.S. and South Africa have been cutting ore production, Chile has been con- ducting a campaign to increase its output to compensate for the fall im prices,
