EDITORIAL THE PRESTIGE OF CUBA AND RESPECT SN FOR WOMANHOOD Last Wednesday we published a gallant denunciation by the distinguished Cuban ladies Mary Tarrero de Prio Socarras., wife of Cuban ex-President Carlos Prio Socarras; Emelina Ruissanchez de Varona, wife of Dr. Manuel Anto- nio de Varona, ex Prime Minister and exPresident of the Cuban Senate; Graciela Suarez de Bishé, wife of Dr. Ma- nuel Bishé, President of the Luisa de Cardona de Rodén Cuban Ortodox Party; Maria wife of Dr. Lincoln Rod6n, ex-President of the Cuban House of Representatives, and Carmen del Busto de Fernandez, wife of Omar Fernandez, leader of the University. Students Federation and President of the School of Medicine: of Havana. The denunciation is related with an unqualifiable occurrence, the torture of which a Cuban lady was a victim, Mrs, Esther Milanés Dantin , Whom police agents, in a Havana Police station, suhmitted to outrages which neces- sarily cause indignation in any human being. It is not only a protest for brutal agression against a woman, to whom for elementary human feelings and concepts of dignity, respect is due. All human beings, in particular women, should be always safe from these aggressions against their physical integrity and their personal honor, no matter what political passions of the moment may be. “El Diario La Marina” of Havana, has published in its front page an open. letter to the Supreme Court of Cuba, signed by Dr. José A. Presno Albarran, who, in his capacity as a doctor, has taken care of the victim. The physician said: “A complaint has Court, and published Lina Milanés Dantin, been made before the Havana in the press, by Mrs. Esther accusing certain officials of serious inhuman maltreatment against her. “As a physician, I had the painful duty of giv- ing professional assistance to the lady. If it is true that during our professional career we acauire, little by little, a philosophy and misery, verv few of calm before human vain times I have been so deenlv shocked in the feelings of humanity, dignity and decorum, as in this unfortunate ease. “The unbelievable outrage suffered by my client, puts in evidence not only an attempt against the most elementary human rights, realized’ with unconceiva- ble sadism. but also represents an unaualifiable dis- regard of the natural respect due to womanhood by every man. A respect which, in its ancient essence, is linked to the being who gives us life. ~ “As a son, as husband and father. it is, there- fore, that I appeal to the highest Tribunal of the Nation, in demand of an investigation of this serious ease. which is contrary to the long- due climate of rectification anxiously desired by the afflicted citi- zens. In the certainty that, because of the chivalry of our judicial officials, the dignity of Cuban woman- hood cannot be outraged with impunity, I am, Re- spectfully, Dr. J. A. Presno Albarran”. After this opinion expressed with sobriety and ethical feelings by the Cuban physician, it onlv remains, besides the protest and the condemnation, to reiterate, to the judi- cial authorities, and above all, to the Executive, that, for the prestige of Cuba and the respect due to womanhood, an investigation should be started immediately, by persons who inspire public confidence. and that corresponding punish- ment be delt to those who committed such a crime and, fundamentally, that measures are taken to avoid repetition in the country of outrages of such nature, a e.* Latin Ameri x. ee can Fizance and Trade News Reports Two U. S. Firms Announce Investments in Brazil NEW YORK, (UP) — Two Ame- rican companies anounce invest- ments made in Brazil. The Olim Mathieson Chemical Corp. announced the purchase of a paper and pulp factory with its power generating plant, and for- ests. This was the property of: the | paper factory Itajai in the South-} ern part of Brazil. The total investment amounts to $4,400,000. The other one, Merck Sharp & Dohme, announced that this month it will inaugurate in Brazil a mo-| dern plant, at a cost of millions of | dollars, for the manufacturing of chemical and pharmaceutical’ pro- ducts, ? The factory located at Campifias, Sao Paulo State, will begin opera- tions on March 27. The factory oc- cupies an area of about 10 hecta- res, near the Atibaia River. At the same time General Elec- tric Co. announced that the Natio- nal Steel Co., of Volta Redonda, Brazil, which has the most impor- tant furnaces of South America, bought a steam generating turbine | of 12,500 kilowatts. The General Electric explained that the greater demand for power has been caused by the expansion of the furnaces capacity from 465,- 000 tons to 740,000 tons of finished products. NATIONAL'SM MAY RETARD ARGENTINA'S RECOVERY LONDON. —\UP)— London’s Financial Times observed today that the new Argenitne Govern- ment’s “strongly nationalistic out- look” may retard the nation from “finding a quick way out of her foreign payments problems”. Solution to these problems, the newspaper judged, appeared to lie in allowing “foreign oil concerns to participate directly or indirectly in development schemes”, Argentina’s development of her oil resources looked to the Finan- cial Times like “at the moment the only way” for Argentina to “bridge her foreign exchange gap” Such development would remove the present drain on Argentine exchange to pay for foreign fuel, the Financial Times explained. The paper concluded, “the trouble is that exploitation of domestic oil resources at the speed required cannot be accomplished without foreign assiatanae”: 10 cents, ee Mission of U. Commerce - in Appear Before Washington, D, C.—A Mission of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States in Vene- zuela, composed by John Gala- gher, George Speiks and Gus- tavo de la Rosa, arrived here to testify before the U.

Congress in relation with the discussions on the Reciprocal Trade Agree- ments Act, a law that is of great interest to many Latin Ameri- can countries, and especially to “Venezuela, as concerns oil im- ports, MISSION IN WASHINGTON Now in Washington is a mis- sion of the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States in Venezuela, with the purpose of Know thy Neighbor By ANTONIO RUIZ CHILE — It has been said that no part of Chile’s past has been left unstudied, no document of its archives unpublished or un ex- plained. And it is true for his- tory is, indeed one of the coun- try’s most original and widely cul- tivated literary forms. By the middle of the 19th, century, it had become a vigorous expression of national consciousness ‘and thought. A trio of historians, Mi- guel Luis Amunategui, Benjamin Vicufia Mackenna and Diigo Ba- rros Arana, were leading figures in the intellectual life of the se- cond half of the last century. Amunategui, an indefatiagable writer who worked closely with his brother Gregorio, another bril- liant historian and militant liber- al, won wide acclaim for his stu- dies on the forerunners of inde- pendence and on the role of Ber. nardo O’Higgins in Chilean his- tory. In eloquent journalistic style, Vicufia Mackenna pictured many different stages of his country’s past; his histories of the inde- pendence and the republican eras, however, are considered among his most important works. Perhaps the most comprehen- sive general history of Chile, from primitive times up to the Constitu- tion of 1833, is Barros Arana’s monumenta! 16-volume work. In addition, he described specific pe- riods and events in Chilean his- tory and prepared a valuable text- book on the History of America. | Another famous national histor- ian of about the same time was Ramén Sotomayor Valdés, whose studies deal specially with the 18- 30's. During this century, Crescente Errazuriz, former Archbishop of Santiago, wrote a classic history of the Chilean Church. The reputa- tion 8f the illustrious Amunategui family has been kept alive by Do- mingo Amunategui Solar, son of Miguel Luis Amunategui, whose | works include accounts of colonial and revolutionary days and im- portant studies of Chilean litera- ture, and by his cousin Miguel Amunategui Reyes. Famous for his tudies of the War of the Pacific is Gonzalo Bulnes, and Alberto Ed- wards has written books on philo- sophy and_ history. For more than half a century, José Toribio Medina made also many valuable contributions to Chilean history, archeology, ety- mology, and literary criticism, which earned for him the respect | and admiration of the entire con- | tinent. It has been said of him that | “it would be impossible to take one step in American history with- out resorting to the publications | of Medina.” Over 320 titles are | listed in the bibliography of his | works, which ‘range from an ethnological study of Chilean In- dians to a translation of Longfel- low’s “Evangeline.” His historic- al studies enpphasize the colonial | development/of America. | tellectual development of Chile; Contemporary historians include | Alejandro Fuenzalida | Grandon, | who has traced the social and in- | Luis Galdames, a ‘student of con- stitutional: history, whose “A His- tory of Chile” was translated in- to English in 1941, and Ricardo) Donos, author of several biograph- ies and a study on Chilean politics and society since the 1833 Constitu- tion. Since its appearance in 1940, Francisco Eneina’s _controver- sial. History of Chile from pre- historic times until the end of the | 19th, century, has been a best sel- ler.

The compo- nents of this mission are dis- tinguished members of the Chamber who are connected with North American firms having substantial investments in that country. Also, they: apparently plan to study the possibility of establishing. an office in Wa- shington of the said Chamber of Commerce, to maintain on the alert in connection with any. event or circumstances that may affect or may be of interest to exchange. Measures such as this, taken by American investors abroad, show that while it is true that the protectionist tendency as. regards foreign trade has its advocates in this country, there are also a great many people and enterprises who are convinced that isolation in any way is no longer possible, not even in the mercantile or eeonomie fields. The world is one and the ex- change, which is the method of communication, the ideas, and the demands for different pro- ducts and articles create closer ties and association between na- tions, all to achieve a better way of life for the individual.

Manrique made this statement at the end of a meeting held in the Government Palace under the presidency of the Executive of the provisional government, General Pedro E. Aramburu; Military Mi- nisters, Interior, Finance, Heads of Security and Rear Admiral Pedro Favar6n, General Infantry Marine Commander in charge of the mo- bilized bank employes. Manrique maintained the strike moyement had a political and not a labor character, as “it is pretend- ed to make, believe” for which reason the mobilization will be maintained. He made clear the “arrested are under military jurisdiction” and despite the dissatisfaction the ob- servance of these rules causes to armed forces, they will. maintain them to respect the commitment that the government must be turn- ed over to the President-elect in May 1.

If those investors’ now come to this country to inform American public opinion, which is the source of power in the United States, and whose inter- ests they represent in couhtries south of the Rio Grande, we are certain that the American people, with the understanding and wisdom that have permitted them to establish the most im- portant democracy of all times, will assimilate this information and will see that their repre- sentatives in’ Congress under- stand how important is for the Hemisphere the approval of this Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act, These democratic channels, such as the information of pub- lic opinion, are the best way HEMISPHERIC EVENTS Latin American News Galindez a Symbol! for Democracy, Gov.

Vaugh, Pre- sident of the Export and Import Bank, said he will attend. the meet- ing the Mexican Bankers Associa- tion will hold in México City. next month. He also said he will try to interview Mexican financial au- thorities. The director of the principal US.. foreign, credit institution, de- clared he was “very satisfied” with the relations prevailing between the Bank and the Mexican govern- ment. Vaugh said the loan of $28,600,- 000 the Bank recently extended | for the reconstruction of the Me- xican railroads “is one of the best transactions we have made”: Vaugh was satisfied because ‘at| the same the’ loan helped México, the purchases made with this loan| helped also to relieve unemploy- ment in the United States. He ob- served that because of the Mexi- can purchases, a considerable num- ber of unemployed returned to work in, Pueblo, Colorado, where one of the largest railroad mate- rial factories of the U.S. is locat- ed.

He said he is planning to go to México during the second week of April to be there before the 14th of April, when the confer- ence begins. | After the conference he expects to spend two weeks vacation in México.
