S. Investments in the Latin Ame- rican Economy”. presents the first comprehensive view of the power- ful effects of sast-growing direct U.S. private foreign investments —both on economic development abroad and on the two-way trade between the U.S and foreign coun- tries. The new report, announces Ma- tion A. Leonard, Manager, Miami Field Office, brings out the follow- ing highlights: | 1. The book value of United Sta-| tes investments in the Latin Ame-| rican Republics has grown from) $3 billion in 1946 to over $7 bil-| lion a: present The current mark- | et value of these enterprises —a better measure of the size of these | investments in reiation to their} current productivity— would be) considerably higher than book va- lue for most industries and, for the petroleum industry, several | times the book value. 2. These United States companies produced $2.8 billion of goods and services for use.in Latin Ame- rica, and $2.1 billion of dollar exports from Latin America in 1955, not including sales of the trade and service industries. Cu- rrent output of all U.S. firms in Latin America would be well over $5 oillion 3. Production by United States companies provides 30 per cent of all Latin American exports, in addition to providing a large vo- lume of essential manufactures, raw materials and services for use in Latin America. 4. U.S. companies generate suf- ficient export earning to pay for all their imports. and income re- mittances to the United States, and return a direct foreign ex- change surplus of some $900 mil- lion a year to the countries in the area. 5 Production by the companies for local consumption, plus their net direct gain in foreign exchange aggregated $37 billion in 1955, giving a measure of their direct contribution to the Latin American economy. Other contributions not Measurable statistically include the indirect stimulation of local indus- try and the introduction of mo- dern production and management methods, 6.

Two different regions form this department, which borders on the west with the Pacifie Ocean, Ecuador on the south, the Commissarie of Amazo- nas on the East and the Depart- ment of Cauca on the north. One of these regions is formed by the lowlands of the Pacific, which have very hot climate, ex- tensive and thick jungles and very little population. The other is loc- ated in the east, and is mountain- ous and cold, formed by the West- ern and Central Ranges of the An- des, with plateaus, valleys and deep ravines. The plateau of Tu- querres, at 9,843 feet above sea level, is the principal one in the| department. Among the valleys are those of Atriz, where the ca- pital, Pasto, is located, and La Cocha, which contains a large lake of the same name. Pasto, the capital, was founded in 1539 by Captain Lorenzo de Al- dana, at the foot of the Galeras voleano, which is still active. Pasto has a population estimated in 110,- 00. Other important cities are Tu- maco, port on the Pacific Ocean, founded in 1814, with a population of 50,000; founded in 1789 with 5,000 and Ipiales, 1863 with 35,- 000. Besides its voleanos and its pro- gressive capital city, Narifio offers beautiful landscapes as special at- traction. The small farms give the Department a beautiful appear- ance, due to the great variety of cultivation, Beautiful sites, easy to reach, are the famous Rumichaca Bridge, the name of which in the Quechua language means bridge of | stone. It is on the border with the | Republic of Ecuador, in the region | of Ipiales; the La Cocha Lake, in a! beautiful landscape, is the center | of many native legends. It has the | peculiar feature of being exactly | the same shape as South America. The Sanctuary of Nuestra Sefio- ra de las Lajas, 3 miles from Ipia- les, is visited by thousands of Co- lombians, pilgrims and tourists | from other countries, and in the | Catholic world it is considered | equal to the Sanctuary of Lourdes, France. Also in the southern part of | Colombia is the Department of | Huila, with a population of 300,-| 000 and an area of 7,73 square miles. It is located in the Upper Magdalena Valley. The central| pain, 15 miles long is of hot,| tropical climate, locked in. between the slopes and peaks of ‘the Cen- | tral and Eastern ranges of the| s Foreign Policy Will not Change With Cabinet Reorganization MIAMI SPRINGS, FLA., FRIDAY, JANUARY, 10, 1958 after having been the object of strong criticism of his financial policies by the opposition in Par- liament and the local press. Pardo Heeren has been replaced by Dr. Augusto Thorndike, who ve- ry successfully held the post of Minister of Justice and Culture. Dr. Thorndike, the present Fin- ance Minister, is the author of the book “A Guide to Peruvian Tax Legistation” (“Guia de la Legisla- cién Tributaria del Pert”), and held the post of Director of the Union Bank and other industrial banking companies. Since 1947 he has been the Economie Advisor to the Banco Minero del Pert, (Pe- ruvian Mining Bank). There is much interest in politi- eal circles to know if the new Finance Minister will continue with the same financial policies of Prado Heeren, which the opposi- tion has classified as “inflationis- tie”. Dr. Victor Andrés Belatinde’s en- try as Foreign Relations Minister means the incorporation in the gov- ernmental division of a career di- plomat and not of a politician or the representative of a determined ideological tendency. Dr, Belatinde who has been in the Foreign Service for 50 years, is know as a miliant Catholic man, and a dedicated anti-communist. In speaking to the U. P. Dr. Belatindg said that he can not as yet make any statements about his suggestion to the Foreign Office, althoubh he stated that Perts posi- tion in International organizations is very well known, and that many times she has defended her posi- tion. He said that he will continue at the head of the Peruvian de~ legation to the United Nations and that he would attend the Ge- neral Assembly in 1958, if there was no incompatimility between his work as’ Minister and the re- presentation to the United Nat- ions. Dr. Manuel Cisneros, President of the Ministers’ Council, has left the Foreign Office in order to take over the post of Minister of Culture and Justice. Polticial cir- cles have interpreted this change as a desire to hold a less active post which will permit him to de- dicate himself to his party the Pe- ruvian Democratic Movement, of which he is Head. The new Ministers Belatnde, Thorndike and Cisneros Sanchez will now take over their posts, af- ter having sworn in a ceremony A. MORA \ DR.

The principal tourist attraction in Huila is the Archeological Park of San Agustin, a town officially founded in 1715, but in which tra- ces of a civilization dating from long before the discovery of Ame- rica have been founded. Accord- ing to studies carried out recently by well known world authorities and Colombian scientists, the his- torical culture of San Agustin dates from many centuries before the arrival of the Spaniards.

S. residents of Santiago de Cuba, it is said, travel the 83 miles to Guantanamo in order, to make their necessary purchases, in view of the scarcity of products in San- tiago and in order “‘to avoid tele- Phone threats”. For some time rebel sympathizers in Santiago have asked the residents “not to buy unnecessary things” there, so that the capital of that Province will become a “dead city”.

The President had a conference with the Foreign Minister, Mace- do Soares, for the preparation of this .statement. In the Itamaraty Palace, the rmors about the preparation of a secret report in which the com- Ymunists have decided to use Bra- zil as a starting point for their economical penetration campaign in Latin America has been denied. It has been said in the Foreign Ministry that they are .ooking for a way to find a formula to accept Russian offers for machinery for oli well drilling without having to ac- cept Russian technicians. On New Year’s Day, Pres- ident Kubitschek said that he was in favor of renewing relations with Russia, which is supported by the Finance Minister, Alkmin, and the “young wihg”™ of the Social De- mocratic Party, to which the Pres- ident belongs. It is reported that Macedo Sores is opposed to this renewal of rela- tions which the ex Minister of Foreign Relations, Oswaldo Aran- ha, the present head of the Brazil- ian delegation to the United Na- tions, has proposed. Aranha recently stated that Bra- zil should have commerce with all of the nations Russia included. Well informed sources say that before addressing the United Na- tions Aranha stated that they would not adopt a diffinite posi- tion regarding the renewal of re- lations with Russia,. It is said that the Foreign Re- lations Minister has said that “it is regretable that Aranha is not capable of resisting the callings of the Communists in New York”.

And Latin American Countries Negotiating on Territorial Waters and Ecuador, which accoridng to these reports should be negotiat- ing now with the United States in Quito, Lima and Santiago, in their “Declaration on the Maritime Zone” signed in Santiago, Chile, on August 18, 1952, set 200 miles as the jurisdiction limit. The Santiago Declaration referr- ed to the fact that “geological and biological factors related with the existence, conservation and devel- opment of the ocean fauna and flo- ra in the waters of the signatory countries, make the ancient exten- sion of territorial waters and ad- jacent zones insufficient for the conservation, development and ex- ploitation of that wealth, to which the coastal countries have a right”. “Therefore, —it said— it is also their duty to prevent exploitation of that wealth. outside its juris- diction, when it endangers the existence and conservation of that wealth, harmful to the countries which, because of their geograph- ical position, have in their seas sources of subsistence that cannot be substituted, and of economic resources which are vital to them”. Regarding the United States, the three-mile limit was adopted dur- ing the first years of independent life. Although up to 1794 states- men had certain reserves regard- ing such three-mile limit, on that year Congress approved legisla- tion establishing jurisdiction of the courts to the three mile limit. Regarding Customs, however, the United States set a 12-mile limit in 1935, and not all the States of the Union have the 3-mile limit, Florida, for instance has a 9-mile limit, and Louiviana 27 miles. The Geneva Conference, which is to meet on Februeary 21, may result for the first time in an international agreement on the thorny question, if the Latin rican Republics arrive with a for- mula already approved among themselves when they go to Swit country. land, y
