In accordance with this or ignore completely the merits of those who, for. some reason, did not leave, in steel and concrete, any impor- tant work. For those people the only. value worth mention- ing is the gigantic bridge, the highways, railroads and everything that, so to speak, can be touched with your hands and has in large letters the name of the President in whose Administrations the works were inaugurated. It is well to remember and admire those who, reasonably, executed works of that nature, because they are for public benefit, and usually, in normal governments, they are evid- ence of good administration. that only the head of a Government which built in con- crete and steel is worthy of recognition by his fellow citizens. There are heads of governments who, even within a great fiscal poverty, have aonesty, have encouraged administrative no noral significance, have contributed to enactment of laws which are very convenient for the country, have respected he political sovereignty of the people, all of which is great work for the Fatherland and for the dignity of the Re- For those government leadets, whose work is of oublie. great moral scope, although plaque can be physically placed, should win public recogni- tion, both in honor to justice and to stimulate those who in the future may be in a position to realize work of that moral nature. That eagerness to admire: only material work, contri- butes to invert public moral nection with the proper appreciation of the functions of those in Power; which should develop within strict norms of political dignity and administrative honesty. The best is, of course, that each head of government executes good work both in the cultural, spiritual and political field, and in administrative matters, including all those monuments the public likes to see and which, except in case of visible errors, are development and progress of x *& *® Latin Ameri and Trade News Reports INSTANT COFFEE FACTORY 10 BE BUILT IN SAO PAULO factory of instant coffee will be built in Sao Paulo, with Brazilian and American capital at a cost of 200,000,000 cruzeiros, it was re- ported here today.

BOLIVIAN CONFISCATION ASSAILED BY CELLER WASHINGTON (UP)— Chair- man Emanuel Celler of the House Judiciary Committee charged in a house speech that U.S. State De- partment policy has served to aid Bolivia in its illegal confiscation of private property. Celler said protection against confiscation of property is vital if the United States is to succeed in opposing the Soviet drive to win underdeveloped areas of the world. He called for U.S. participation in an International Court of Ar- bitration to establishment specific rules for the security of private investment in Latin America, Asia and Africa and said there should be an investigation of U.S. policy toward Bolivia which “confiscated the major tin properties of foreign investors in 1952 and has evaded all efforts to bring about a final valuation and method of compen- sation.” MEXICAN UNIONS GIVE ROOMS FOR SCHOOLS MEXICO CITY, (UP)— The De- partment of Public Education said Federal District labor unions had offered the use of building space sufficient to house 18 more pri- mary “emergency classrooms.” This makes a total of 50 emer- gency classrooms provided by the labor organizations in their office buildings to help alleviate the capi- tal’s shortage of classrooms.

Lieutenant Know thy Neighbor By ANTONIO RUIZ KNOW THY NEIGHBOR Frances CHILE — While Spanish troops were still struggling to wrest con-| trol of Chile from the inhabitants | who had taken over the Govern- |} ment, classes were already being | held at the universities of Lima, México and Santo Domingo. Yet, | this isolated colony whose mater- | ial and cultural wealth was for years outstripped by that of many other New Yorld centers, develop- ed into one of the continent’s most orderly, vigorous and progressive | mations. Chile has always been open to currents of world thought; her cultural heritage has been enriched by the contributions of eminent foreigners who, even be-| fore independence, took up re- | sidence in the country. Nowhere have the services of learned for- eigners been better employed than | in Chilean public education. Andrés Bello, Venezuelan-born | scholar and author who devoted his | life to the promotion of Chilean | culture; José Joaquin de Mora, Spa- | nish writer and politician, and the Argentine educator and statesman | Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, are | among the foreigners who, along with native Chiicans like Valentin | Letelier and José Abelardo Nunez, helped build the country’s central- ized and effective school system. Amanda Labarca, a distinguished | educator and for years head of the University of Chile’s Extension Di- vision, has wrilten a comprehen- sive history of Chilean education.

This. floor, which previously consisted of six apartments has been totally remodeled for the oc- cupant. But “Time” affirms Ramfis lives in a house of the city of Leaven- worth during the rest of the week, where he pays a rent of $450.00! a month, “The curtains are always ; down and six private detectives! are constantly guarding the place! and patrolling the streets, Walter | Bradford, 50 years old, an ex-agent! of the Justice Department of the United States, now a private detec- | tive, is the chief in charge of all this expensive security”. The officers studying in the | same school notice that Lieutenant | General Trujillo, “does not as- ;sociate” with them and that he! “has money enough to throw! away”, “Time” says. “His fellow students, most of! them combat war veterans, make! fun about the security measures and the high rank of Ramfis”, “Time” adds. In other part the information says that when the Dominican! student came to Kansas, he open- | ed a ccount of one million dollars in a local Bank.

Cruz Salazar follows with 138,000 and lawyer Méndez Montenegro with 134,000. The Committee explained that in view of the fact that none of the absolute majority of votes, Congress will de- cide next Friday between the two greater | number of votes.

From elementary school, students may enter public secondary schools called “liceos” or private schools called “colegios.” Courses last six years and are us- ually divided into. two three-year cycles, the first dealing with gen- eral education and the second more specifically with university pre- paration, There is muck emphasis on good teaching in Chile.

Any political errors he may have made as a leader and as a ruler will always be oblit- erated or compensated by his respect of the democratic princi- ples and of the political sover- eignty of the Costa Rican nation, Echandi —running on the op- Position side— must naturally: be mentioned because he was the candidate who obtained the largest number of votes and be- cause he won the next constitu. tional term to the Presidency of the Republic through the demo- eratie process. Rafael Angel Calderén Guar- dia also achieved an important victory, inasmuch as after more than eight highly adverse years during which he had no part in the Government, these free elec- tions gave his party a good num- ber of seats in the Assembly, which gives political actuality to Calderon Guardia and his co- party members. As everybody knows, his party did not pre-, , sent any candidate to the Presi-« dency of the Republic, but it did present aspirants to seats im the Legislative Power. To the loser in the presiden- tial race, Francisco Orlich, the candidate backed by Figueres’ party, credit is due because he was a good loser, in the best display of republican dignity. Besides, he had the satisfaction of obtaining a considerably large number of votes, which re- presents the great faith his countrymen have deposited in, him. After ballot counting, Mrv Orlich, who could be described as the official candidate without being forced on the people by the Government, tactfully recog- nized the victory of his oppo- nent, enhancing the prestige of democracy and _ strengthening the operation of the republican institutions. Through free elections, in an environment of order and peace compatible with national deco- rum, it is very easy for a nation and its leaders to achieve poli- tical victories such as this and the moral satisfaction that comes with them.
