EDITORIAL PONDERING ON POLITICAL DEBATES Perhaps there is nothing more convincing for the majority of the people, no matter how difficult political circumstances may be, that Serene consideration, objective and respectful, by those who, no matter in which side they are, are in a position to orientate public opinion and exer- eise decisive influence in the development of events. Of \course, there are exaggerated or violent groups that, for lack of reflecting, or because they feel extremely hurt, are inclined to violent procedures and insulting words. But those groups constitute, in monst cases, a minority in the community, although for reasons of their temper and the attitude they assume, give the impression of beign larger than they really are. It is evident that in some cases the arbitrary acts of some, in particular those in power, provoke loss of temper and, to certain extent, justify violent reactions. But it must be taken into consideration that, precisely to avoid the danger of future arbitrary acts, which in themselves reveal the existente of a serious crisis, it is necessary to act with the greatest possible caution, in order to insure the victory of any freedom movement. And within that indispensable caution, sobriety of all programs and the objectivity of formulas for solution, effective aid must come in the creation of a collective consciousness which, at the end, is the one which determines, in one way or ano- ther, the victory of the good cause. citizens who do not actively activities, it is necessary to tical leaders. participate in daily political have positive efforts by poli- And that immense number of citizens, who are not indifferent to the fate of democracy and of the Fatherland, who want a definite change when the situation is harmful to the interests of the Republic and humilliant- ing to human rights, also demand, in order to act, in order to participate in the political struggle, that there is honesty and serenity in the part of the leaders, in order to see in that attitude evidence that the country, once the crisis ends, will have days of national reconstruction in every sense, in particular in the moral one, and that right will prevail over might, justice over arbitrariness, and love over hate. . * Latin Ameri HS: Pe can Firance and Trade News Reports U. S$, Corporation Announces Investment in Brazil Plant WASHINGTON — Robert L.

SPECIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IN BOLIVIA HAS: SUCCEEDED WASHINGTON. (UP)—Foreign Aid Administrator James H. Smith Jr. told Congress the special as- sistance program in Bolivia has suc- coded in improving the economic climate, halting back market ac- tivities and aiding the investment picture, In testifying during House For- on the proposed new foreign aid bill, Smith used Bolivia as a spe- cific example of how the program has operated. “Faced with a severe and stead- lily worsening financial crisis late| in 1956, the government of Boli- via requested the United States to} \assist it in a stabilization program designed to put its economic house | in order”, he said. “In response to this request we... created a monetary stabilization| | program backed by joint contribu- |tions from the International Coop- eration Administration, the Inter-| national Monetary Fund and the| U. S. Treasury. “Supported ‘by the majority of | bolivia’s population, dramatic re- |sults have been achieved in the| |comparatively short period of 15) months; the exchange has been reformed; the budget, tax and ta- riff systems have been overhaul- ed; government expenditures have been regulated so as to forestall inflationary central bank finane- ing; and all economic controls, except for a temporary wage and salary freeze, have been remov- edie as “In summary, one can say that a significant start towards economic stability has been made in Bo- livia, and the U. S. should conti- nie to cooperate sympathetically with this country in its continuing struggle towards economic self- reliance and self- improvement”.

So it is revealed in part of the message delivered by President Eisenhower to Congress, asking for additional funds for the sup- ply of equipment and personnel “for military engineering purposes in the construction of public works”, Luis Quintanilla, Ambassador of México, rejected the idea of an unarmed Latin America, as this might leave the Hemisphere defen- |se to the United States.

Association e For Liberty, Culture and Hemispheric Solidarity: NUMBER 209 Solution of Cuban Crisis is at the Polls, Batista Says in Anniversary Talk GOVERNMENT WILL HOLD SCHEDULED ELECTIONS AND HAVANA, .March 10 —(UP)— Cuban President Fulgencio Batis- ta declared today the only solu- tion for the national political -cri- sis is at the polls, and that the Government will hold the schedul- led elections. “The Government —he said— is probably more interested in honest elections than the opposi- tion, because the results will de- monstrate the destruction of ter- rorism or the respect for the law”.

In an important speech on na- tional affairs transmitted by radio to all military garrisons, Batista said his government is “engaged in the aggrandizement of the Re- public” and has dedicated the last six years to make better use of time to achieve that goal. Batista called upon his fellow citizens to show “less hate and more love” in the solution of the problems of Cuba, “in accordance with the preachings of Jesus and the idealism of the Appostle José Marti and the heroes of Cuban in- dependence”. The President, declared that the “irritated and violnt” opposition to his Govrnmnt in th achiv- ment of that objective “points out | to the sumptom» of the times or the seeds of communism”.
