EDITORIAL PRELATES IN DEFENS AND HUMA OF MORALITY N DIGNITY In an exemplary, decorous manner, Cuban Prelates, headed by His Eminence Cardinal Arteaga, have made a call on the live forces of the country, in favor of -establish- ment of a Government of national union, “since the Cuban Episcopate sees with profound sorrow the regrettable situa- tion we have throughout the Republic, the Oriente region. an sorrow enter our homes, brothers in our fields and our cities”. in particular .in Hate increases, charitv vanishes, tears brother’s blood is shed by And before so much sorrow, the Prelates, invoking God and their spiritual mission, advocate “establishment of a Government of na- tional union, which may prepare return of our Fatherland to a veaceful and normal political life”. Reasons of moral order —not political— are the ones inspiring the words of the high dignataries of the Catholic Church in Cuba. gave basis to the attitude o They are the same reasons which recently f the illustrious Nicaraguan Bishop, Monsenior Octavio José Calderén y Padilla, when he stood up to the dictatorship regarding acts it patronizes, which are incompatible with poblic morality; and because of that attitude he was the object of an outrage which later resulted in a collective protest of the Nicaraguan Epis- copate. For similar reasons, a priest the Reverend Ramon Talavera, gave a sermon three days ago in the suffering Paraguayan nation, condemning the moral crisis determin- ed by another dictatorial regime. | In defense of morality and human dignity, these bishops and priests, as has been done during recent times with the same courage by their colleagues in other Latin American countries, have said their wise and orienting words. The statements regarding the Cuban case, have, with- out doubt, extraordinary significance, both because of the prudence with which they were drafted, as for the way the Prelates point out to reach the goal of restoring order: a national union Government. Besides, that joint state- ment has another marked importance, as is to put in evidence, without any doubt brought by interested political _attitudes, the existence of a serious crisis in Cuba, which ‘must be patriotically and conveniently solved by those who are in a position te do so, k ok x *« * Latin American Firance and Trade News Reports Oil Industry in Bolivia Has Very Promising Future LIMA.
