EDITORIAL COMMUNIST LATIN TACTICS IN AMERICA With the ability which characterizes the leaders of the international communist movement, under the imperia- | listic auspices of Rusia, in Latin America constantly they | are putting different tactics aims and with the purpose of winning supporters, create confusion, discredit democracy and, if possible, to obtain | control of Power. The assault to Power is, task, for multiple reasons. to the test, with infiltration of course, the most difficult However, there have been cases such as that of Guatemala, which determined many years of Soviet influence in the Government, until the regime of Jacobo Arbenz was overthrown. And after a short absence from the Guatemalan political picture, the threat is appearing again in the most dangerous manner, under the guise of democracy, but with such a poor dis- guise that the existence of the communist’ movement in that Central American country is no longer a secret. In the current electoral campaign, the communists are taking advantage of the situation and are engaged in maintaining political unrest, agitation and violence, trying to achieve victory for the party under which they are working with false emblems. To reconquer Power in Guatemala seems to be a firm aim of the hierachs of Soviet imperialism, because they know that from that country they may develop, as they did before, a great part of their plans for Latin America. When in Guatemala the Governments were commu- nist sympathizers —Arévalo and Arbenz— they established certain alliances with Latin American political movements and even with some Governments, which joined them under Guatemala leadership. Perhaps the most dangerous thing about communist infiltration is the fact that sometimes it is difficult to identify their tactics, because these are very flexible, and are adapted with surprising speed to fit any situation in order to carry out a determined aim. Of course, those who direct Inter American policies in each one of the 21 Republics have the obligation to be on guard, so they will not be misled, because, after all, with a little bit of an observing spirit, of analyzing the facts and with honorable ai nd intelligent investigations, which are sincerely democratic, it is possible to discover red maneuvers, which can then be opportunely combated. Kk * Latin Ameri eR ee can Finance and Trade News Reports Mexican Economic Progress Continues af a Fast Rate NEW YORK (UP)— Mexican economy continues to progress at a rapid pace and dollar income from tourism reached this year, an | un-presidented level, which is estimated at 600 million dollars, says the Chase Manhattan Bank in its cuarterly report about Latin America, It says that the expansion of Mexcian economy represents doub- le that of population increase this year. “The gross production of the country — it says — is expected to be a miminum of 7 per cent. higher than that of 1956. In the fiscal year of 1956-57, industrial preduction increased almost 10 per cent.” . It states that crop perspectives are favorable, although mineral ex- ports suffered due to the drop in| prices in the world market. Con- structive activity and electric pow- er generation increased 12 per cent. Agricultural production except corn, was greater in 1956-57 than in previous years. It is estimated’ that this year’s income over that of last year will represent .an increase of 18 per cent. “Mexican oil reserves increased more rapidly at the end of the year in August, 1957, than in any other time since 1901,” says the publication. “As a result of the exploration program, proven re- serves are now 3,300 barrels, a net increase of 416 million barrels. In August, Pemex, the government oil organization, began to send na- tural gas by pipe line to the U. S. It is estimated that, at first, this will produce six million. dollars a year.” ; LATIN AMERICAN CURRENCY DROPS NEW YORK. (UP)— The Pick World Foreign Exehange Bulletin includes the currency of Argenti- ‘na, Brazil, Colombia, and Uruguay among the 17 countries whose cu- rrency suffered “historical drops” in 1957, The Bulletin says that the Brazilian ecruzeuo was in second place as the money which was the weakest inthe poll, as it dropped 27 per cent. Pick states, nevertheless, that the U.S. dollar also continued to weaken and that, as in 1956, it lost 3 per cent of its national buying power. in this country industrial shares lost 11.2 per cent and railroads | 36.1 per cent, based on the index | of Dow Jones At one, time it adds non- ferrous metals were considered as the best protection against the | depreciation of silver certificates, | but, in 1957 “siiver dropped 2 and | 3-4 per cent, tir 7 per cent, pla-| tinum 25 per cent, cooper 26 per- | cent, lead 30 per cent, zinc 31 per cent, and nickel led all of the other | with a drop of 67 per cent”, , MEXICAN CHAMBERS WARN ON OPTIMISM MEXICO CITY. (UP)— The Confederation of National Cham bers of Commerce appraised Mé- xico’s economic and social progress today and cautioned against over optimism for the immediate future prospects of the Republic. Affirming that México has made creat advances in view of its li- mitations, the confederation point ed out that the standards of living of a majority of Mexicans are poor and the nation is still classed as “underdeveloped”. “México is a country still in the process of development but still a long way from its goal, which can only be achieved by the whole- hearted cooperation of all citizens and the hard work of all”, the Confederation concluded.

(UP)— “The New York Times” publishes today a 48-page supplement and an editorial dedicated to the economy of the Latin American nations the editorial, entitled “The He- misphere”, says: “It is well to be reminded at least once a year that not Europe or Africa or Asia but Latin Ame- rica and Canada are the most | important places in the world for the trade and security of the Unit- ed States, Ropular interest is’ a Know! thy Neighbor By ANTONIO RUIZ CUBA—Since the country be- came the Republic of Cuba, con- structions in the capital have in- creased at a fast rate, and archi- tectural progress has been marked in Havana. A great number of architects and engineers, both Cu- ban and foreign, have developed beautiful styles, which they have applied to magnificent buildings for public or private offices, as well as hotels and elegant private resi- dences. Specially in the private homes, a true national style has been created, with the blending of North American and European modern styles and the high quali- ty of colonial architecture. During the American occupation only one building of importance was constructed, the School of Arts and Crafts, which was of simple lines and adequate proportions. The Presidential Palace, started as the Provincial Government building, shows many of the faults of the primitive office building, and many changes had to be made later to adapt it for presidential residence. However, architect Mar- tinez Inclan pointed out that “al- though it lacks the proportion of the great palaces, and it has sev- eral defects, any modern architect could take pride of being the au- thor of the design of a building which, in construction, is among the best in Havana.” The National Capitol was built during the regime of Gerardo Ma- chado, at the site of the old Villa- nueva Railroad Station, where they had started, during the regime of President Gémez, the construction of a presidential palace. The cost, according to official figures, was $16,640,743 and was considered by many then as a wasteful ostenta- tion of suntuosity. It is estimated, however, that today it could not be duplicated with the expenditure of fifty million dollars. The University of Havana, founded in 1728 by the religious Order of the Preachers in the con- vent of San Juan de Letran, was transferred in 1842 to the Con- vent of Santo Domingo, and again o the hill occupied by the Military chool, using the buildings that were already there. From 1928, there have been many changes, and ; beautiful buildings have been un- der construetion, . among which special mention should be made of the University Library, the on- building for cultural purposes, with all the modern convencien- ces. of Education, the Foreign Ministry, the National Red Cross, the Na- tional Council of Veterans of the Independence War, the Treasury Building, and many others. There are many and very beauti- ful private buildings in the Cub- an capital, including those of the Centro Gallego, Centro Asturiano, the Commerce Building, many banking institutions, both national and foreign, including the branch of the National City Bank of New York; also worthy of mention are the Railroad Terminal and the Telephone Building. There are many beautiful build- ings among the numerous and mod- ern hotels in Havaha, most of which, in particular those recently built, are very luxurious. There are. also beautiful theatfes, casi- nos and night clubs with elegant buildings, as, well as those of: pri- vate and exclusive clubs, such as the Havana Yacht Club, Vedado Casino of Havana, the Union Club, ete. Among the most modern build- ings in Havana, besides the newly built hotels, are the Fine Arts Pa- lace, Radio Centro, where radio and. TV. stations are located, the American Artists Building, the Pa- lace of Communications, the. Tri- bunal de Cuentas (Government Ac- counts Building), the Retired’ Den- tists Building, and many others, Spanish Version Page 3 ly school in Cuba that has such a!

United States investments in Ca- nada alone now total about $11.- 000.000.000. In Latin America the figure is close to $8,000,000,000. Our trade with Canada and with Latin America is: larger in each case than our trade with Europe or any other region of the world. Despite the impressiveness of the figures, the over-all picture is not a harmonious one, either for Canada of for Latin America as a whole, The reasons are simple. We export far more in the hemis- phere than we import. In addition, our policy of disposing of surplus agricultural commodities like whea and cotton is considered to be dumping by other countries. Ca- nada and certain Latin-American countries suffered in 1957 from these exports. Another grievance for which the hemispheric nations deserve sympathy is the threat, which seems only too likely to materialize, of higher tariffs on lead and zinc and import restric- tions on oil. “The fall in commodity prices during 1957 has hit all these coun- tries hard. When coffee prices dro- ped fourteen of the twenty Latin- American countries were in trou- ble. Copper and nitrate are what keep Chile going, and the drop in prices has been calamitous. Pert is suffering because copper, lead and zine prices fell. Canada has al- so been hurt by the decline of minerals. All the Latin-American nations are struggling with the greatest “population explosion” in the world, All are suffering in greater or lesser degree from in- flation. “Of course, there are good fea- tures. The problems are partly pro- blems of expansion. Industrializa- tion is moving at a fast rate. Eu- rope, especially Germany, and Ja- pan are becoming bigger markets and bigger buyers and investors. So is the Soviet Union, a develo- ment to which we must become re- concilied. We tend to take Canada and Latin America for granted. However, here, as in the fields of science and arms, complacency is dangerous”. Brazilian Envoy Will Visit Rio WASHINGTON, Jan 9. (UP)— The Brazilian Ambassador, Erna- ni Do Amaral Peixoto, announced that he expects to visit Rio de Janeiro next week, for consulta- tions with his government and al- so to attend to some matters of a political nature He told the U.P. that he would remain in Brazil for two or three weeks, and then return to Washing- ton. His wife will remain in this Capital during his absence. Before his trip, Amaral Peixoto HEMISPHERIC EVENTS Foreign Ministers to Visit Colombia FOREIGN MINISTERS BOGOTA.

Arias has indicated that the United States Congress is fanning sentiment for the nationalization of the Panama Canal by failing to improve salaries of Panamanians in the Canal Zone. Asked to comment on a publigh- ed report that Latin America may join in supporting the return of the Canal to Panama, Arisa said the Panamanian people are “gravely concerned” over lack of congres- sional action on a 1955 Treaty call- ing for equal pay for Panamanian and U. S. Canal Zone employes who do the same work. Such a measure passed the Sen- ate last year but was held up in the House, The Ambassador, a former Pre- sident of Panama, rejected: the comparison drawn in the article ison drawn in the articleet hmth e between the Panamanian situa- tion and the seizure of the Suez Canal by President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt. Arias said Panamanians had as- pired to the canal “before Nasser was even born.” In an obvious reference to the implementation of the 1955 Treaty, he said that his people only want what is “fair and just.” “The aspirations of the Panam- anian people as to the benefits that they should derive from the Panama Canal are based on the elementary principles of justice an equity, Arias said. “Until such a time as these as- pirations are fulfilled the people will struggle for what they believe to be their rights.” CUBAN NAVY SEARCHS FOR 85 FISHERMEN IN THE CARIBBEAN HAVANA. (UP)— Planes and ships of the Cuban Navy started a search in the Caribbean for 85 fishermen on board 19 ships, of which nothing has been heard since December, when they were operating near Anguila Key near the nort coast. Among the search units is the crusier “Baire”’. and two amphi- bious planes which were ordered to cover the northern coastal zone between Cardenas and Caibarién, and the southern part of Salt Key. Army units were also alerted for the U.S. yacht, “Renovoc”, of Harry Conover, which had five persons on board and disappeared on a trip between Key West and Miami. A Navy unit found the remains of the schooner “Enriqueta”, a 14 tons ship, to the East of Fragoso Key lighthouse, but they found no trace of the five Cuban crew members which had been on members which had been on board. will meet with officials of the Ex- port Import Bank and the State | Department, He: expects to attend the Congressional session. when President Eisenhower will read his to Support Candidate f The two organizations represent- ing the Cuban Autentico group in Miami have replied to the letter written by the youthful rebel lead- er, Dr. Fidel: Castro, as the head of his “26th of July Movement”, in which Castro formally repudiates the Liberation JKUNTA WHICH W the Liberation. Junta which was formed in this city two months ago with she purpose of uniting all anti-Batista forces in one single front against the Batista dictatorship. In this document, signed by Dr. Manuel Antonio de Varona, Pres- ident of the Autentico Party and former President of the Cuban Sen- ate, whom Batista has accused of “masterminding’ the recent un- successful uprising in Cienfuegos, with the the help of disaffected offi cers of the Navy, the Army and the Aire Cops— and Dr, Enrique C. Henriquez, a former Congress- man, as head of the “Organization Autentica”, the Autenticos seek to refute the arguments put forward by Castro for his unexpected blow against the Junta and against the common anti-Batista front which it represented. They express their willingness to accept Castro’s can- didate for Provisional President, after the eventual overthrow ot the Batista regime, —Dr. Manuel Urrutia—, if Castro agrees, on his part, to withdraw or modify those demands in his break-off letter which they consider inadmissible and particularly, his demand that the youtful “26th of July Move- ment” which he leads, not only designate the Provinsional Pres- ident, but also keep their arms, reorganize and control Cuba’s arm- ed force, and be entrusted with the task of preserving public or der; while, on the other hand, all the other anti-Batista organizations would be allowed to: play no other role than to wait for the calling of elections and to take part in them, as political parties, when- ever these are called by the Cas- tro-selected President. The Autenticos hint that such a demand contains the threat of a “permanent control of the coun- try through armed force” —that is, of a new military dictatorship— and that it wou'd be contrary to the Cuban peopie’s traditional love of freedom, and to the re-establish- ment of Cuba’s democratic institu- tions. They say that they “can- not resign themselves to believe” that such an objective could be the goal of the “heroic movement that you are leading. which has given so many demonstrations of its des- interestedness and of its love for Cuba; and for her democratic ins- titutions”. They agree that “the Cuban ar- med forces should be reorganized and cleansed of criminal elements” but that “the military _organiza- tion should be. respected, in ac- cordance with the Constitution which we all have sworn to rest- annual message. j Illueca, upon his assuming the pos- lition of representative of his coun- | | try on the Security Council. ; On the Ist, Panama replaced Cu- ba on the Security Council as one of the non-permanent members of this high body.

Solidarity: NUMBER 157 [TEMPERATURE Jy centigrade VILLAINS -IN- POLITICS “ As soon as political problems of any type arise, and especially when bitter strife develops among different groups, or against the Government , in- dividuals devoid of all moral qualities come forth to join those groups and do their best to win the friendship of the leaders with their outbursts and their tenacity. This is extremely dangerous for society and for the. political groups that accept this kind of services, because they do grave harm to the stable and peaceful existence of the first and they detract prestige to the second in front of public. opinion, -which calmly ‘analyzes the conduct of every party and every individual: Those heading these groups, the democratic. leaders who endeavor to surround their causes with prestige so that they may be respected, yet never feared, must oppose such elements and separate them from their ranks, even if it means not having a few good things that may be obtained through this type of individuals, who are familiar to an- environment of delinquency and irresponsibility, The benefits derived by a party leader or by a group from the audacity and perseverance of some elements better classifield as Villains in their police records and by their general behavior in society, who turn their backs to culture and morality, are unthink- ably small if compared to the harm done to‘those leaders or to those parties who count on their side such individual, despised by honest people above all political or party interests, Therefore, even for reasons of political gains, it is unwise for those who aspire to public respect and to the consideration of their countrymen, to surround themselves with individuals who discredit them in front of the honest people, who constitute the great majority in our com: munities. ‘ There is no doubt that it is quite difficult-for group leaders to shed these “comrades”, because sometimes, if their harm- ful effects have taken roots as a result of the indifference or the complicity of the leaders, perso- nal risks are faced. But the case is that those who want to be leaders must necessarily take to themselves all the responsi- bilities accompanying - political leadership, Two illustrious Colombian ex Presidents, and top figures in American ‘intellectual and demo- cratic circles, Alberto Lleras Ca- margo and Eduardo Santos, who have fought immensely for the return of republican life to their country, in their joint New Year’s message to the Colombian nation, bitterly refer, with categoric words, with civie in- tegrity, with a high sense of responsibility, to all those who in the name of political- causes plant terror. and impose their will on the basis. of violence-and ae attempts against individual life, In all certainty, the words of Lleras Camargo and Santos did not echo on those who felt alluded and despised, but . the great educated majority of the Colombian people should keep on believing in the cause sym- bolized by Lleras and Santos— which is the cause of the Nation and of public decency. Following are some excerpts of their mes- Sage: “It is urgent to take away from the villains who continue in a barbarous career of crime, all the Pretexts and masks that may dissimulate their horrid behavior, This does not refer to conserva- tives, or liberals, or communists, or to old or new partisans.
