That this is not the case is due to the uneven na- ture of the land nearly all over the eountry, consisting to a very large extent of uplands where the altitude has a markedly lower- ing effect on the temperature, and also to the circulation of air which keeps the atmosphere in constant movement over Brazilian territory. Thus, the configuration of South America allows cold air masses from the polar region to advance in a northeasterly direction, forcing up the tropical air which requires a flow from north to south, and giving rise to periodical rain storms which assist in tempering the sultry heat. It may, therefore, be affirmed that in the vast inter- tropical regions occupied by Bra- zil, hot, dry seasons usually alter- nate with tropical rains, and the | net result is a pleasant, mild cli- country. Even in the depths of the | Amazon Valley, the steamy heat is | dispelled by the breeze blowing up | from the sea and the sharp drop in temperature at nightfall is very re- freshing. Climatie conditions in the mountain regions cannot be bet- tered and the bracing effects of | this temperate zone are exper- ienced in full in the numerous spas and holiday resorts such as Campos de Jordao, Friburgo, Te- rezopolis, Pozos do Caldas, Ara- xa, etc. The extremes of climate injurious to health are not found in Brazil. On the contrary, it is | indeed a blessed country, on that | respect; winter never strikes with | the harsh severity that brings bit- ter hardships to all living creatures in less favored lands. The tem- | peratures are usually within the range of endurance, and even the short periods dominated by a heat wave are not very disagreeable. Snow is seen once in a while in the southern part of Brazil, but it is very light; even so, it adds a | picturesque touch to the local serious, but the maximum is not more than 25 frosty days a year in the south, and north of the State of Sao Paulo is practically unknown. Weather forecasting in Brazil dates back about half a century. | The undertaking was so complex, | that it was necessary to enlist the | cooperation of other South Ameri- can Republics, some of which were | already operating weather bureaus. | Of the 400 meteorological sta: | tions now in service in Brazil, about 200 are equipped to coo- perate in forecasting work and, as many other stations in South America, make standard~ obserya- tions three times a day. The data thus obtained enables to forecast the weather for the various re- gions of the country. The charts show the weather prevailing at time intervals fixed by international agreement and corresponding to 9 A. M. and 3 and 9 P. M. at Rio de Janeiro. The information covers atmo- spheric pressure, temperature, hu- midity, and other factors. To com- ply with international regulations, the Brazilian Meteorological Ser- vice has to prepare its daily fore- cast within two hours after taking observations, The data is transmit- ted by telegraph and telephone, and between 11 in the morning and noon, the Central Bureau at Rio is in. possession of nearly all morning weather reports, even those sent by themost distant sta- tions three times a day to the whole world, thus taking technical part in the collective work of the organization known. as Amersud. . _ teoanish Version Page 3 mate, extending over most of the |“! \the damages will be known’, but |the estimate is about $1,000,00. increasing popular support in Bra- | zil. 4 “The desire of Latin Americans to develop useful contacts with the family of socialist countries re- flects a vital need—Pravda says— That desire may count with the sympathy and support of the So- viet Union, which, as the Secre- tary of the Communist Party, Ni- kita Kruschey, said recently to| Brazilian journalists, considers} that normalization of relations| with all the countries, regardless | of their political systems, is the only right way toward peace and international friendship”.

The Peruvian proposal looks} like an amendeent to the corres- ponding substitute bill prepared by the International Law Com- mission of the United Nations as a basis for discussion in this con- erence, and would establish that he “fishing freedom” could be practiced “without hurting — the rights of the coast al country in the conservation zone”, which phraseology does not appear in the substitute bill.

Colclough, constitutes “an intention to obtain the approval of the Soviet doctrine of “closed sea” in international law. The Soviet proposal, moved by the Ukraine and Roumania delega- tions, consists in adding a para- graph to the article on freedom of the seas which would provide that, “in certain waters a special regime could be established through historical reasons, or by virtue of international agree- ments”. Colelough declared this phraseo- logy was clearly an intention to push the Soviet “dangerous doc- trine” of “closed seas” which some tmies -has enabled Russia to in- clude the Baltic Sea in this cate- gory. The Committee has under consi- deration more than twenty amend- ments to hte substitue bills of the International Law Committe with reference to high seas and freedoms that must prevail there. The most susceptible of these amendments are those prohibiting, specifically or tacitly, the use of the high seas for nuclear tests, including in the substitue bill such phrases as that “the United States are obliged to abstain from every act that may adversely affect the use of the high seas by other na- allegedly seditious remarks Fri- day.

Something serious —extremely serious— must be going on in the noble Land of Marti, when a group of reputable organizations such as the ones mentioned advocates an absolute change in the administration of official life in the Republic. The Civic Institutions, for reasons they have clearly explained, advocate the establishment of a ‘Provi- sional Government for a. Transi- tion Period” formed by citizens of recognized prestige; a na- tional government. set-up with the prior approval of all the vital institutions of the Nation; a government that may make possible the return of peace to the country through the adoption of short term measures leading to the fulfillment of the historic mission of Cuba by the may of elections developed on full dem- ocratic guarantees”.
