Telegravh and radio agencies cannot transmit news reports of the co- rrespondents that are not revised previously by Army officers appointed for that task”. These events constitute, more than a blow to freedom of the press in Cuba, a serious defeat for the Government, in particular for the high civil officials, whose orders, judging by what has happened, have been disregarded by military authorities in Orient For reasons of solidarity principles, both Cuban and fo e. and in defense of democratic reign press must regret these events in the above mentioned Province, and they must engage in efforts to see that the lifting of censorship de- treed by the Executive in Havana is duly accomplished. And for their own prestige, not only of ideological type but also to maintain the principles of authority, Presi- dent Batista and the Minister of Government should take immediate steps —if they have not done so already— to insure respect for freedom of the press in Oriente Pro- vince, since that is the only included in the suspension of vince, in accordance with the The Government, more eliminating doubts about the constitutional guarantee not individual rights in that Pro- recent Executive decree. than anybody else, profits sincerity of the measures it adopts, and making sure they are not violated by minor officials who are under the j — Re Latin Ameri jurisdiction of the Executive. x &k * can Finance and Trade News Reports Brazil Gets New Eximbank Credit for Machinery WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.

S. private capital investment in the amount of approximately US$2 million is sought for industrial and residen- tial development in Manzanillo, Colima, México. Ventanas al Pacifico, real estate development and sales company, promoter of the project, report- edly owns property near the port of Manzanillo, Colima, en the ocean front. The firm is particu- larly interested in developing the area into a resort. The investor is offered part interest in the enterprise, and a voice in the ma- nagement. The area, according to the pro- moter, should equal or surpass that of Acapulco as a tourist cen- ter because of its easy accessibility from Guadalajara and other Mexi- can attractions nearer the United States. Ventanas proposes to subdivide the land into lots ranging in price from 80 to 200 pesos a square meter. Fifty per cent of the ter- racing, excavating, and leveling reportedly has been completed. The overall project includes the | filling of part of a lagoon to} create an additional 250,000 square meters of land. It is estimated| that two years will be required | to finish the project. U. S. capi-| tal will be used for completing the} streets, lighting, public utilities, ete. The area belonging to Ventanas al Pacifico is said to be surround- ed by four large, attractive bea-| ches, in addition to a number of} small ones which could be used | as private beaches. The land also} is said to be good for mineral ex-| ploitation, particularly iron ore. | Interested firms may contact | the Mexican concern, Ventanas al Pacifico, S.

Government has promulgated three | decrees dealing with the surplus | worker and wage problems. They | provide for “voluntary retirement” | of an undetermined number of workers, an increase in family sub- sidies, and a one-year extension of the “wage-freeze” which was es- tablished by Article 42 of the Sta- bilization Decree of Dec. 15, 1956. | Employees and workers who vo- luntarily retire from private busi- neses which now have surplus em- ployees will receive, regardless of their seniority, a payment of 3--months’ salary plus an indem- nity payment of one-months’ salary | for each year they have worked) for the firm. The provisions of} this decree apply only to those workers actually employed on the date of the decree’s promulgation, January 9th, and not to those sub- sequently hired. It remains in effect through March 31, 1958.

The mine, as the visitors ap- proaches it, appears ready to slip at any moment from its precarious hold in the mountainside. The visit- or can stay and watch the mining operations, and can have lunch at the clubhouse. For those who like horsebaek riding, there are beauti- ful bridle trails through the mount- ain forest. At Zamorano, about 24 miles from the capital, is the Pan Ameri- ean School of Agriculture, which was opened in 1943 with a North American as Director, Dr. Wilson Popenoe, who recently retired from the post. The boys are all scholarship students chosen from different Spanish speaking Ameri- colonial mining center of great importance. Farther still is Danli, in a farming district near the bor- der with Nicaragua. Driving through some of the most beautiful sections of the Hondur- an mountains, the visitor can de- of the northeast. It takes about three hours to drive the seventy- five miles of winding, curving road from Tegucigalpa to Comayagua. This town, set in a rich agricultur- al valley, was in earlier days a riv- al of Tegucigalpa, and for a time the capital of the country. It is now a small, quiet, provincial town which preserves its colonial atmo- sphere and its elaborate churches, as well. as its low houses. With their thick walls and iron-barred windows the houses present a for- their flower-filled patios inside are the very essense of graciousness and hospitality. The three-hundred-year old Ca- thedral contains priceless relics of bygone days. Its clock once stood in the Alhambra of Granada, Spain its tabernacle and candelabra were a gifts of Philip IV of Spain, and are made of solid silver, and among its many fine paintings is the “Martyrdom of Saint Bartholo- mew” painted by Murillo. San Pedro Sula, second largest city of Honduras, is a thriving me- tropolis in the heart of the bana- na country. The town, with a popu- lation of 70,000 is modern and active, with good hotels and re- staurants. Eight miles to the east is La Lima, where the United Fruit Company has its Honduran and Central American headquart- erw. A short distance from La Li- ma are the ruins of the pre-Span- ish city of Travesia. Progreso is another banana town a few miles from La Lima. A good road was built to the south- west, leading to Santa Rosa de Co- pan. However, it is still necessary to fly from Santa Rosa de Copan to the ruins .Railroads connect San Pedro Sula and these banana towns with the ports of Puerto Cortés, |Tela de la Ceiba. From Tegucigalpa, a road goes north and east into de cattle-rais- ing Department of Olancho. So rich is the department in natural resources, that it has been called the reservoir for. the economic fu- ture of the country. The climate is wholesome, and the soil amazing- ly fertile. Mineral wealth is abund- ant. It is not uncommon for house- wives to have a small income from the gold which they find while washing their clothes in the river. Juticalpa and Catacamas are the principal cities of this vast area. Spanish Version Page 3 observers realize that | viet Union are always accompani- | Therefore, as traae relations of| can Republics.

They point out, for example, that it is possible that Latin Ame- |rica has forgotten that during the colonial period a threat of Rus- sian expansion existed in the Pa- cifie coast of the continent, and that it was felt even after México won her independence. They recall that the Monroe Doc- trine was adopted in part because the United States feared that Rus- sia would establish a foothold in the American Continent, and also because the European Alliance, in- cluding Russia, would try to in- terfere in the affairs of Latin American countries, which had just won independence. More recently, in 1945, at the San Francisco Conference from which the United Nations resulted, the Soviet delegation recluctantly accepted the provisions on re- gional agreements of the Charter, on which the Latin American Re- publics insisted, and opposed the acceptance of Argentina as a char- ter member of the United Nations. The Latin American Republics, however, continue struggling for the doctrine of national sovereign- ty, a doctrine that is traditionally opposed to any aspect of penetra- tion, either political or economic, by another country. Their determination on this mat- ter have culminated in the Inter American Pact of non Interven- tion and the concept of multi- lateral responsibility on matters of hemispheric defense, as substi- tutes for the unilateral concept of the Monroe Doctrine. From the strategie viewpoint, the Latin American Republics of the Caribbean and the Atlantic would logically assume that in another world war, the Soviet fleet, would try to separate them from the U.S. and Europe. Ther- efore, the defense of vast coast- lines of Latin America and her maritime routes would be a se- rious problem. There are also the Soviet claims to some Antartic zones. On the basis of these considera- tions, Washington diplomatic cir- cles believe that, for reasons of prudence and caution, the Latin American countries will not blind- ly accept momentary advantages that may be brought by creation of closer trade and _ industrial |bonds with the Soviet Union and the Soviet block countries.

(UP) Ed Barrett, Dean of the Columbia | University School of Journalism, | flew to Acapulco for a brief vaca- |tion before proceeding to Guate- {mala and other Central American | | Republics “to observe and learn | about the work of the press, radio |and television” in those countries. | Barrett, who arrived here on Jan. 31 accompanied by his wife, said his trip, which ends in Pana- | ma Feb. 14, was also “in connection | with the Maria Moors Cabot award program.” HEMISPHERIC EVENTS | Latin American News in Brief | Population of 8 Million Predicted for México City MEXIO ITY (UP)— Dr. Ma- nuel German Parra, Dean of the National Schoo, of Political and Social Sciences, inaugurated the 1958 academic year of the school by predicting that México City’s population in 1964 will exceed eight million. : An official 1957 census listed 4,450,413 residents for the capital.

BUENOS ‘AIRES, Feb. 7. (UP). The bank employees strike will not be interrupted, according to a communiqué issued by the “Coor- dinating Board of General Delega- tes of Banking Personnel”. The body, which according to the communiqué has assumed di- rection of the strike movement, publicly declared it is “the only organization authorized to hold negotiations”. The coordinating board also con- demned the action of the Federal Union Council, ending the strike, because it “does not fulfill the minimum basis provided by the labor organization”. Although it was officially announced that there are no more labor leaders in jail, the coordinating body affirms in the same communique that “police persecution continues”. The new strike front, which says to be acting in the name of an assembly which decided to con- tinue the strike, “demands imme- association to the National Secre- pose a defeat to the union”. The communiqué is signed by four leaders: Supena, Fuentes, Iliko- vich and Weintraub. It also orders to continue opera- tions of the “Central Strike Com- mittee”, which submitted the fol- lowing conditions to end the strike: 1, Return of the Union to its legitimate authorities, those func- tioning before intervention; 2.

The Minister of Education and Justice announced that the so-cal- led “investment companies” are being investigated, and that di- rectors of these companies have been arrested and are to be tried. He did not make any mention of the affiliation of the arrested, ad- ding, that the greater part of these companies realize “irregular works of a dishonest type”, ag- gravated by the withdrawal of publie savings. He pointed out that the Ministry ordered the investigations because of the unusual display of publicity by these organizations” trying to attract investors under false pro- mises of profits”, and reaffirmed that the General Justice Investi- gation is in charge of the_ prose. cution of the companies. These companies pushed their propaganda through the newspa- pers, radio, television and movies, offering interest fluctuating be- twen 18 and 25 per cent, accept- ing investments from five thous- and pesos up. The Minister also revealed, that when the investigation is finished, a bill establishing the regulations Federal Council on January 29, The Central Strike Committee of the investment companies will be introduced by the Executive.

The tendency toward a concen- tration of population in the capit- al is due to the faster rate of in- dustrializaton here, Dr, German Parra said, and added that by 19- 85 there would probably be 12 mil- lion inhabitants in the city. México’s population will top 40 million within six years, he said, backing his prediction with statis- tics showing that the mortality rate has dropped from 23 per 1,000 in 1936 to 12 per 1000 in 1957, while the annual birth rate has reached 47 births per 1,000 persons and is still rising.

The technique is applied in con- ferences on a given subject —say, developing sales— where confe- rees are encouraged to speak up with any ideas that occur to them as new means of selling. Each idea is recorded, however nebulous or impracticable it may seem at the time and an atmosphere of “exhi- laration” and rapid fire sug- gestions is encouraged to stimu- late the flow of ideas. There is no discussion of) thoughts presented at the time, and no “negative” considerations which might make an idea seem impracticable are permitted.
