EDITORIAL HISTORICAL TEST IN COSTA RICA a ened According to reports from San José, the Government af the Republic of Costa Rica requested from the United Nations Organization a list of persons among which it could select a United Nations Observation Commission for the presidential elections to be held in that Central Ame- rican Republic Sunday. It is understood that the Organization, or one of its agencies, submitted several names of world personalities to the consideration of the Costa Rican Government and that the Government, after inviting the leaders of the dif- ferent political parties to choose among these names, se- lected three gentlemen of recognized international prestige. They are Dr. Horace Read, Dean of the Law School of Dalhouse University, in Canada; Mr. Tingsten, a Swede, Director of an important Stoholm newspaper, and Dr.’ Paul Negro, President of the Electoral Court of Uruguay. Although no hint has been given, at least abroad, of how the United Nations Observation Mission will operate, nor which will be its true functions, and how they will adjust within the juridical technique regulating the relations of a State member of UNO with this world or- ganization, it must be accepted that it is only a historical test taking place in Costa Rica, which may have enormous repercussions in the international life of the different countries. The results of this observation: mission cannot be known as yet, nor even immediately after the elections are held, because a reasonable lapse of' time will be neces- sary to know the effectivity of this measure, and its positive scope. Of course, from the viewpoint of political morality, as an effort to demonstrate good democratic intentions in the part of the Costa Rican Government, this test has to be considered of marked importance. In any case, it is a precedent in America, which may be opening the way to adequate improvement in the future. After all, any in- stitutional progress of that nature requires a process of maturity, of good judgment in the application and analysis of its consequences, so that it may some day become a reality that nobody will dare to dispute. Those interested in the development of modern inter- national law, in the moralization of international democracy, will have in this case, for sure, an excellent opportunity For @ better understanding between the Americas New Era of Cooperation Among Coffee Producers With Formation of 1.C.0.

The road also serves Chaclacayo, Santa Inés, Los Angeles and other resort communities in the Rimac valley and is the western outlet for traffic from the Trans-Andean Highway and eastern Peru. The new road will have a median separating each 21- foot - wide asphalt lane.

Know ‘hy Neighbor By ANTONIO RUIZ CHILE — The Province of Llan- quihue, with a population of about 150,000, is one of the most visited zones of Southern Chile, as it has many and very interesting spots | with great natural beauty. Agri- culture, which is developing in a very Satisfactory manner, is the basie activity of this province, al- established with marked success. | The capital of the province is the progressive city of Puerto Montt, the most important port of the region and terminal for the! central network of the State Rail- ways, which connect there with the coastal shipping to the north| and south of the country. The ci- ty was founded on February 12, | 1853, by Vicente Pérez Rosales, famous author of the book “Re- cuerdos del Pasado” (Remembran- | ces of the Past). Originally it was given the name of Melipulli, which in the Indian language of the re- gion means “the tewn of the four hills,” and which later was chang- ed to its present name in honor of President Manuel Montt, who not only took special interest in the foundation of the town, but later with true zeal was concerned in initiating it on the road to pro- gress. great vision, since he took advant- age of the arrival of the first Ger- man colonizers in order to give life to a region which, because of | its geographical position and the| many resources that Nature be- stowed upon it, was destined to be important maritime, agricultural and trade center. Besides that, it has become in the last few years a | tourist center of considerable im- | portance. It is a city well built, has all the conveniences and public servi- ces and offers the tourist many at-| tractions; including a modern and very comfortable hotel, the con- struccion of which was completed only a few years ago. There are| other hotels and boarding houses, | which offer comfortable rooms and good board at very reasonable prices. The ships of the Maritime Service of the State Railways leave | from Puerto Montt for Chiloé, Ai- are carry several dozen passengers, be- sides several thousand tons of car- go. ® Puerto Montt is the starting point for visits to many highly interesting and beautiful spots, which are visited by thousands of tourists, both Chilean and foreign, every year. One of them is La Cha- miza, only about six miles away, where there is a modern air base with excellent installations, Near this base is the Cha so called Colhuin, where found in great quantities, especial- ly those of the salmon family. La Chamiza is connected with Puerto Montt by an excellent highway, and the trip by car or bus takes | only a few minutes. Balneario Pelluco is another re- sort of great attraction, which is located east of the harbor of Puer- to Montt, about three miles from the clty. The beach has beautiful, fine sand and the ocean is calm, which makes it ideal for swimming. A committee of residents is always working to make this resort one | of the most atfractive in the coun- | try. Several small, but comfort- | able hotels have been built at the beach, as weil as beautiful private residences. Another big attraction is Tenglo Island, located across from the in- dustrial section of Puerto Montt and separated from the city by the narrow Agelmé Canal. Thou- sands of visitor go to the island, where sea food restaurants are ve- ry popular, among them Quinta lk oe Subscribe to the Americas Daily Hoffman, Quinta Garcia and Quin- ta Vidal, which specialize in re- gional dishes, One of them is the famous “curantos,” prepared in a hole in the ground, in which the food is cooked with hot stones placed at the bottom, in true Arau- canian style.

He then added that the Buenos Aires Go- vernment has given OAS for its operations, a new _ three-story building, which formerly was oc- cupied by the Press Secretariat of the Perén regime. It has halls| for expositions, conferences and the exhibition of films. Besides, the Government has voted 250,000 Argentine pesos a year for maintainance of the build- ing.

(UP). |It was officially announced that a pact was signed between General Miguel Ydigoras Fuentes and Co- lonel José Luis Cruz Salazar, which represents the union of anti- communist forces in the country. It permits the Congress to elect Gen. Ydigoras as the next Presi- dent of the Republic. According to comments in to- day’s newspapers, the elecctions’ tesults reveal a “75 percent of anti-eommunist votes”, since Yd{- goras and Cruz Salazar obtaifed together that percentage against the Revolutionary Party. They also point out that the pact indicates General Ydigoras, who obtained the majority of the votes, “will make» a democratic government” and will govern together with centrist groups sup- porting Cruz Salazar, which were organized by the late President Castillo Armas. There are also-comments saying the pact eliminates the possibility that groups of the center join the opposition, in an alliance with the Revolutionary Party and the com- munists, “who act in the shadow and will try to overthrow Gene- ral Ydigoras”. “Now —they say— the fields It is believed, moreover, that “the anti-comunist unity is the first step toward national unity, which Guatemala is so anxiously seek ing”. form a Democratic, Coalition Govt. have been definitely established”. | THE AMERIBAS DAILY to be Willing to Cruz Salazar has had some dif- ficulties, because leaders of his party met yesterday to discuss if the pact should be accepted or not. After several hours of discussion, |the MDN leaders said Cruz Sala- jzar could sign the pact, but not the party. This means that some of the party leaders will not join the anti-communist coalition; but it is believed that the MND depu- |ties in Congress, who constitute |a majority, will vote in sufficient | numbers to elect Ydigoras as Pre- sident.

HAVANA CIGARS MAY BE IN SHORT SUPPLY SOON NUEVA YORK. —(UP).— Ha- vana cigars may be in short supply this year because of “tremendous” damage to the Cuban tobacco crop, soda, aluminum, and asbestos.

When the armed forces dis- charge their mission in a deco- rous manner they have to be considered as an imperative for the security of the State, and not as a danger for the demo- cratic institutions of the country. Of course, in number and in ca- pacity, the armies must keep adequate proportion with the problems, the resources and the dimensions of a country. Also, there are uniformed ele. ments who refer to civilians with the same hatred, as if they. were an obstacle in their way and as if they were not the very essence of the State. This absurd antagonism is, speaking in general terms, the result of attitudes that would not stand a calm analysis nor an , ideological investigation. Civi- lians and military are citizens of the same Nation, and one and the other, in their particular sphere of national life, have the obligation to dignify the insti- tutions of the Republic, with due respect of human rights and the legimately constituted authorities. This rivalry is explainable when any one of these two sectors unjustifiably attacks the other. This generally happens in some sectors of the armed forces, in countries where the Stability of the republican | in- stitutions has been lost, and the aggression against the people is liable to take place in the name of the force. But such case, which certainly justifies the fight of the civilians for the defense of their inalienable rights, should not lead to the systematic existence, as a nor- mal thing, of’ antagonism be- tween civilians and military. The army and the people should always unite in the ideal of the Fatherland, in the defense of the institutions of the Republic, in the aspirations for democratic progress and for the moral and material wellbe- ing of the Nation. And in this unity there is no place for disagreements dividing the people and the army, as if enmity had to necessarily prevail between them. Venezuelan Junta Gets Recognition, Takes Precautions CARACAS, Jan. 29, —(UP).— The Government Junta feels en its vigilance, against possible acti- vities of elements friendly to the ousted dictatorship. Today it made security measures even more strict. They were evident specially at the Miraflores Palace and other Government buildings, as rumors persisted that elements contrary to the Junta may intend a coup. But, apart from these measures, activities in Caracas and the rest of the country were normal. Here, in the capital, for the first time since the ousting of Pé- rez Jiménez, transit was forbidden in front of the Presidential Pala- ce in the daytime. Beside, additional troops were placed/at the corners near the palace, and all those traveling in that direction were carefully searched.
