Inter - Amecricon 5th YEAR es G 4 SAN ROMAN Presidgnt CO AGUIRRE cident and Publisher Antonio Ruiz Managine fditor c. Publishea daily except Monaay — Entered as second class matter at the Post Office of Miami Springs fla. on February 8 1950. EDITORIAL RUSSIAN POLICIES TOWARD ARGENTINA With marked ability, the hierarchs of the Kremlin, who decide national and international policies of all the coun- | tries composing the soviet empire, are opening the doors | of the industrial and economic capacity of communist na- | tions to the people of Argentina, in negotiations for possible | economic interchange. Although the present Buenos Aires regime, as corres- ponds to an eminently democratic nation, is an enemy of the Soviet Government, it is sending an official mission to Russia, East Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia, with the purpose of finding in those countries what Argentina has not been able to get from the United States in the field of economic cooperation. It is very dangerous, to say the least, to have that pe- netration which in the difficult field of Latin American economic problems Russia and her satellites are achieving. If Russia begins to have strong economic and commercial relations with Argentina, very soon she will have them also with other sister nations of Argentina, which means, direct- ly or indirectly, that the red empire will extend its orbit of influence in the world. The Latin America countries by themselves, dually, perhaps do not represent much, even the large ones, as factors that may determine international policies. ever, they have great importance as support elements, and the side to which they lean may reap considerable benefits. It is necessary, therefore, not to underestimate the impor- tance of Latin America, nor to allow that those countries may acquire, involuntarily, because of sheer need, obliga- tions with powers which are enemies of the United States, of Latin America herself, and of all the Western World. What has Washington done to co-ordinate efforts with Argentina in the sense of helping that country get out of the crisis which the previous regime imposed, which was hostile to the United States? The answer to this question corresponds, without doubt, to those who are in possession of the facts which would clarify the discussion. For the moment it is necessary to accept the fact that the public kas seen little in this respect. cement of the Argentina official mission to search for economic arraingements behind the iron curtain, indicates discontent in this great South American Republic. It is still time to prevent the Latin American nations from becoming economically obliged to Russia. If: these economic obligations crystallize, the political capacity of Latin America will become very limited for those in the struggle for the defense of the democratic ideals which Russia wants to annihilate. De Latin American Finance and Trade News Reports U. S. OILMAN CRITICISES OIL IMPORT RESTRICTIONS NEW YORK (UP)— The Presi- dent of Creole Petroelum Corpora- tion H. W. Haight, stated that a major reduction in oil imports by the U. S. would adversly effect the prosperous Venezuelan oil indus: | try. He added that such an addition- al- reduction would have harmful effects on Venezuela’s capacity to produce the oil which would be needed in a future emer: ney. He pointed out that about 65 per cent of Venezuelan oil produc- tion is under the control of U. S. companies. Venezuelan oil — he continued — was vital to the U. S. dming World War II and the fight in| Korea, and “its importance to the Western World was again demon- strated during the Suez crisis.” Haight later stated that Vene- zuela, through the sale of her oil, has been able to obtain dollars which have made her one of. the richest markets in the world for U. S. exporters, In 1957, he add- ed, Venezuela’s purchases of arti- cles and service from the U. S. passed 1,000 million dollars. Haight stated that although 19- 57 production suffered ups and downs, it had another record year in oil income and the expansion of Possible reserves. . During the first semester of the year, he said, production reached up to 2,970,000 barrels a day at one time, but when definite statis- tics are compiled, it is estimated that total production will have an average of 2,800,000 barrels a day. MEXICAN DOLLAR RESERVES OVER 400 MILLION DOLLARS MEXIC ~ (UP)— México’s dollar reserves amounted to $440,- 000,000 as the year 1957-came to an end, the National Bank of Mé- xico announced here, This was an increase of $33,000,- 000 over the amount of hand on Aug. 30, 1957 and $240,000, ov- er the reserves in the bank vaults when President Adolfo Ruiz Cor- tines took his oath of office in Dec. 195, 2 The announcement was made in connection with the signing yes- terday of a monetary agreement om ——————_—s SS Ww.

Almost at the same time as the signing of the monetary agree- ment, the Export-Import Bank granted México a credit of $13,- 600,000 for economic development projects in México. PETROLEUM .

But there are already signs of this happening. More than a week ago, our Joseph Newman reported the activities of a firm offering Soviet autos, oil drilling rigs and other goods to Brazil. Brazil, like Argen- tina and Chile, believes that Unit- ed States credits for such purposes have been witheld because Wash- ington wishes to encourage private enterprise, and the South Ameri- can countries favor government monopolies in certain areas of the economy. Now comes the natural result of Washington’s coyness and Moscow’s offers — Argentina is sending an economic mission to the U. S. S. R. next week. Brazil, Uruguay and Colombia may fol- Jow suit. “To open South America to So- viet economic penetration, for so academic a reason as encouraging private enterprise in countries which are determined to keep cer- tain industries in government hands, is stupd. Latin America gen erally feels that it has been giv- en the short end of the stick in the disposition of United States economic aid. It is especially re- sentful of any effort by Washing- ton to shape policies through such aid. Much damage has already been done, as the Argentine mis- sion to Moscow makes clear. No more can be permitted to occur. Our relations with South America are so close and so important as to demand the instant correction of anything that weakens hemisphe- rie unity.” Mexican Pianist Plays Tomorrow at Panamerican Union) WASHINGTON, D.

Russian Who Wounded Mexican Policemen Had Embassy Card LAREDO (UP) — Victor Koren,} a 26 year old Russian who wound- ed two policemen before he him- self was wounded by another, car- ried a card of the Soviet Embassy in Washington.

(UP)— Jorge Anto- nio, principal leader of the Pe- ronist Party, confirmed that Gui- llermo Patricio Kelly and John William Cooke are in Caracas. Antonio Asked the U. P. to quote him personally. He said that both arrived in this Capital to meet with the Peronist group for the discussions which this group jis holding regarding the next Ar- gentine Presidential elections. Up to this time, police authori- ties had emphatically denied to conten Kelly’s and Cooke’s arri- val. On the contrary, a few days af- ter it was learned that they were here, the police said that they were completely unaware that the two were in Venezuela, and that they did not even know that the two had tried to obtain -a visa for entering the country. Later a National Security spoles- man said the following: “we know nothing about Kelly and Cooke but we suppose that they have been able to enter Venezuela clandesti- nely or under other names”, Antonio said that Kelly entered the country using the name of Jorge Barrios. He did not say what name Cooke had used, Nashville, Tennesse, Jan. 4. UP. The well known local newspaper “Nashville Banner” says, in an edi- torial titled “Guatemala at a cross- roads”: “Communist sources in Latin America are not conductive to spi- ritual peace in the Hemisphere and there can not pe any doubt that the present political fermentation which is growing in Guatemala is red. With understandable misgiv- ing America, at this time, observes this neighbor. which is planning to go to the polls for the second time to elect a successor to Carlos Castillo Armas. “Castillo Armas erased the red stain from the Guatemalan official roster in 1954 when he ousted the Arbenz regime, a large part of which took refuge in México.

They added that his record shows he has committed a series of cri- mes in the United States,, ran- ging from armed robbery to car thefts and drug traffic.

(UP)— A Pe- ronista terrorist ring planned to put the torch to the newspaper La Prensa and seize the offices of the United Press and Associated Press in a campign. of sabotage aimed at throwing Argentina into tur- moil; police revealed here, The conspiracy was nipped by the arrests of members of the gang and discovery of the princi- pal munition and bomb factory of the terrorists. Buenos Aires provincial police at La Plata earlier announced the arrest of 96 persons charged with participation in Peronista terrorist activities. Arrests were made in Buenos Aires, La Plata and Ro- sario and Tucuman, Police authorities said the ter- rorists had planned to touch off the sabotage campaign on Dec. 30. The plans included bombing of key railway and highway bridg- es and a civil and military airport. Armed guards patroled the rail- way viaducts in the Palermo Parks all week to prevent any terrorist attempt to blow them up and cut Buenos Aires off from the rest of the country. The destruction of the plant of La Prensa was seen as the con- tinuation of the Peronist hate cam- paign against the newspaper whose outspoken criticisms of the depos- ed dictator Juan D. Perén had resulted in its seizure. It was re- turned to its rightful owners aft- er Perén’s ousting: It was believed the UP and AP news agencies here were to be seized by the terrorists mainly because of their communication fa- cilities with the interior and abroad.

His crime certainly serv- ed to aid the purpose of this cons- piracy, which now plans to take advantage of the confusion which it caused. “Guatemala is at the crossroads of a decision. One turn to the left on the 19th of January would start her on the road to disaster. “The U.S. has not intervened in these internal matters. But the in- telligent minds of those who lead this country should know the need of a policy of painful re-conside- ration with respect to if the su- preme error is committed of ins- talling a government hostile to peace, security, and hemispheric stability”. MEXICO CITY GETS GREAT LIGHT DISPLAY MEXICO CITY (UP)— México City is now one of the best lighted cities in the world, municipal of- ficials said today. The main city arteries, ‘such as Insurgentes Avenue, the Paseo de la Reforma, Juarez Avenue and others, were specially illuminated for the holidays with thousands of colored bulbs, and the city at night is a very impressive sight for the thousands of foreign and national tourists. City officials said more than 11,- 00 regular lamps were put up in the past few months and even the poorest districts of the city enjoy the benefits of city lighting. More than 12,000 colored lamps were put up for the holidays with enough energy consumption to light a fair-sized city, city officials said.

Thus, the situation now rests on the following terms: a) At the Sierra Maestra, Dr. Fidel Cas- tro and his group of fighters, unable since November 1956 to come down from the mountains to solve their problem in the plains and in the cities, and this has not been possible not because they iack courage, but because the Government forces are far superior in number and in equipment; b) Batista’s polit- ica: enemies without any coordi- nation, at least for the time being and nos even apparently, as it was in the case of the short- lived Liberation Council; ¢) the people who, in general, are against the March 10th regime, but have not shown definite signs of supporting any of the op- position groups, as the activities of sabotage and the attempts against the lives of innocent. people by minority groups should not be confused with what could be che collective action of all the people of a Nation who, in- dividually. are against the dic- tatorship. When the Liberation Council was pompously established, this thermometer marked the degree of what it could mean if, in the field of practical achievements, it maintained unity, and if the Council tried hard to win the support of the Cuban people, who for many years have op- posed Batista, but without join- ing his aggressive enemies, During the two months of rel- ative existence that the Libera’ tion Council had, it did not pro- duce what hac to be expected, not even an earnest declaration, formulating ideological view- points and practical programs ¢a- pable of inciting popular emotion in Cuba. Perhaps it could not release such 1/document due to the absence of unity, and to in- ternal] struggles underway. The opposition in Cuba, there+ fore, has to face reality. The chap ter of the Council and of the fa- mous movement for unity, in the same manner it was con- ceived, must he closed with cer- tain elegance, even if with the heartbreaks produced by misun- derstandings, The leaders of the opposition should retrace their plans and, profiting from experience, with their feet on the ground, with a sense of patriotic responsibili- ty, with adequate political flex- ibility, on the bases of truth and sincerity, they should give a new course to their activities, taking into consideration that, for sure, the enemy is now, due to the circumstances, in a better. position than ever before. ———— ee, MEXICO UNIVERSITY ENROLLMENT UP MEXICO CITY (UP)— The Na- tiona) University of México ‘an- nounced enrollment for the first trimester of 1958 will begin Jan. 9.
