The attitude we are assuming regarding this case, is in agreement with Latin American and United States feelings, which pay tribute to human dignitv and to the high values of democracy. For any citizen having the conditions gathered in the personality of ex-President Prio Socarras, this newspaper will raise its voice of protest before such an outrage. It is a matter of principle. o INTER AMERICAN TRADE AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS When large commercial enterprises, American or Latin Américan, engage in business with different countries, they assume responsibilities that, in one way or another, have repercussions in the field of international relations. It is neccesary, therefore, that those who manage such enterprises should not think only of immediate trade profits, but also in everything that may be convenient or harmful to the good understanding between the Nation they represent and the one in which they are doing business. On many occasions, strong resentment has resulted among different peoples, only because those who manage great commercial organizations act in a manner which, in the field of human relations, of social justice, and respect for the country in which they do business, falls short of what is expected, or their conduct even hurts national feelings. Those firms, in order to operate successfully, need an adequate climate of cordiality in the country of origin as well as in the country in which they operate. If relations of general type among them are not satisfactory, business suffers considerably. It should not be said, therefore, that international relations do not affect commercial en- terprises, as if every thing was limited to the customs and techniques regulating activities of this kind in the local market, In reality, with a little of good will and skill, it is not difficult to find the proper equilibrium in the relations of the above mentioned commercial firms. and the peoples with whom they transact most of their business. On the basis of fairness and mutual respect, it is easy to maintain relations that not only benefit the merely commercial transactions, but also favors among the different nations. Tn particular for United the friendship and solidarity States businessmen, this pru- dence and ability is of great interest, in order to achieve, through them, closer approachment with other peoples, in particular the Latin Americans, whose friendship and solidarity are of great transcendence to the United States, in the same manner the friendship of this country is of great importance for them. ke Ek Latin cerca Finance { Formulas on SANTIAGO, Chile, Feb. 15. — (UP).— Luis Melo Lecards, head of the Chilean delegation to the rights to the sea, declared today | that, if the meeting really wants |to achieve good results, “it must face the problem looking to the future and not to the past, where jit will find only formulas which jare no ‘longer applicable to the |new problems resulting from the exploitation and conservations of jthe natural resources of the sea WIN PENDLETON FLORIDA PRINCESS—It’s that Season again.

Three candidates will be se- lected by ballot, The winner will be determined by a spin of a wheel. The princess will be between 18 and 25 years old, a legal resident of Florida — and of course beautiful. The present Princess is Andrea An- derson of Ocala. DANGER SIGNAL — When the union of Egypt and Syria was an- nounced, Congressman “he-coon” Bob Sikes told the House that “The United States must indeed direct its efforts more effectiely or the handwriting on the wall is plain to be seen.” He said that the Congress was too unconcerned and called ‘the Eisenhower doctrine a failure: “Diplomatic defeat can be just as damaging as military de- feat.” SOMEDAY HE’LL VOTE Young Paul Pettennude, 1834 N. W.. 83rd St., Miami, recently had occasion to ask Congressman Dan- te Fascell to perform a small fav- or. In thanking the Congressman, Paul wrote, “Anytime a thirteen year old boy can be of help to you, call on me.” Fascell’s comment: “I certainly do appreciate Paul’s of- fer of help. I hope he isn’t too sur- prised one of these days when I call on him, I’m sure there will be an occasion when his assistance can be put to good use.” Could be that Paul will be helping to “ring x xk and Trade News Reports The “Santa Ana” Sails With Mining Equipment for.

Feb. 14.— (UP)—The steamship “Santa Ana” sailed from this port with a cargo of 272 tons of boilers and material, amounting to $200,000.00 for steam generation for the production of copper of the new Central of Toquepala, in Peri. The steamship will cal at the Peruvian port of Ho, 130 kilometers distant from To- quepala, in the interior of the country, The “Santa Ana” is expected about the first of March’ in -{lo, where she will unload the cargo of tubes, steel sheets and boilers materials which the American company Babcock and Wilcox Co. remits for the construction of the thermoelectric plant which the mining company of Toquepala will built in. Punto Tablon. The electric current generated by the new plant will be carried by high tension wires to the mills and mines, 3,090 meters high, in the Peruvian Andes. The copper producing Company expects to begin its operations in 1960, with a total of 120,000 tons of blister copper yearly. New International Airport Planned for Lima, Pert | 000. WASHINGTON, D. C. (PAU).— Testifying to the impact of the air age on Latin America, the 10-year old airport serving the capital cimy of Lima, Peri, is about to be replaced with a mew one only a few miles away. Almost 500 acres of farmland only eight miles from downtown Lima have been expropriated by the government for the new airport which will ‘replace the present Limatambo field, Main reason for the transfer of commercial air activities is the need for longer runways to acco- modate the jet planes which inter- national air lines plan to put into South American service in 1959, Limatambo’s present runways are restricted by natural surround- ings to 4,700 feet. The new airport north of the port city of Callao whl have runways up to 10,500 feet, or about two miles long. A further advantage of the new site is that planes will be able to approach and take off from run- ways over the Pacific Ocean, eli- minating the present hazards of- fered by the Andean foothills. The area is less susceptible to fog and mist, and has a generally higher ceiling than Limatambo. The Callao airport is expected to be completed by 1960 although planes may be able to land there before then. Its cost is estimated at between $8,000,000 and $9,000,- Limatambo’s terminal building, completed in 1948 and considered one of the finest structures of its type in Latin America, will become he adquarters for Peru's Ministry of Aeronautics, the bell for Dante Fascell” come next campaign time. OLD FOES — If Senator Hol- land gets into a race this year, you can expect his old enemies, the AFL-CIO, to be right on his neck again. In fact, newscasters friendly to the union, already hint that Hol- land is marked for “purge” by the unions. As in the past, they pro- bably will be fooled by the results of their work. Holland has many loyal union members among his followers; is hated mainly by the radical left-wing labor element. One of their chief complaints against Holland has been his sup- port of Florida’s right-to-work law, | voted as an amendment to Flori- da’s constitution when he was Gov- ernor.

VIOLENCE INCREASES g contigrede| Prio Socarras Gets an Invigorating Shot The highly regrettable spec- tacle that took place in Miami last Friday, when an ex-Presi- dent of the Republic of Cuba, Doctor Carlos Prio Socarras, had to walk handcuffed from the Court building to prison, ap- proximately six blocks away, has added political vigor to the dem- ocratic personality of the ousted ruler, Singing the Cuban National Anthem, fellow citizens and many Latin Americans who had heard about it accompanied the ex-President in his foot journey to jail, which he was forced to | travel handcuffed, just like any common criminal caught in the act. This total absence of ability, or lack of imagination, to call it that way, of those who could not arrange to have the ex-President of Cuba transported to prison in an automobile, has by all means caused a mighty bad impression in his country and in all the Latin American nations that, in their bonds of solidarity, con- sider the affront as their own Prio’s civic and democratie prominence entitles him to @ more courteous handling on the part of the authorities. In fact, rather than a courtesy extended to him, it would have been a courtesy to the Cuban nation that one day elevated him to the presidency of the Republic, and also it would have been a mani- festation of regard to the Latin American nations. From the political standpoint the personality of the man whe in such a lowly and spectacular way was taken to prison, has been brought into the spotlight and has gained prestige, now being the main topic of the news items and commentaries in Cuba and in nineteen other Latin American countries identi- fied with the democratic ideals of the land of Marti. Thus, Prio Socarrés, who is accused of plotting against Ba~ tista and has been jailed with all the details accompanying the capture of common criminals, has achieved a publicity con- quest and his political person- ality has received an invigor- ating shot. As an individual, as a citizen, as a democrat, Carlos Prio So- carras has triumphed. Others were the losers... ‘ Re eel) esas JOAQUIN M. DUARTE NAMED TO IMPORTANT POST BY BRANIFF DALLAS — Jvaquin M.
