COFFEE PRODUCERS SUSPEND EXPORTS MEXICU CITY(UP)— Four of the seven leading Latin American coffee-producing nations have an- nounced the suspension of all cof- fee exports for an indefinite pe- riod in a move aimed at stabilizing coffee prices. Representatives from Costa Ri- ca E] Salvador and México agreed on the action at a meeting here. In Bogota Colombia it was an- nounced that that nation is fol- lowing suit. with an agreement reached at a special meeting here last October attended by delegates from Gua- temala Nicaragua and Brazil as well as the four countries who acted today.

It exercises, at the same time, beneficial powers as counselor and protector of farm people, studies the problem of dis- possess and rent-fixing and inter- venes as friendly intermediary in the conflicts between owners and tenants of the land, or with the middle men and simple occupants. With the immigration mission which the Institute supports in Europe, and with the Inter-guber- namental Committee on European Migration, it has been able to se- lect more than 50,000 immigrants, besides those who voluntarily en- ter the country frequently. The Agriculture and Livestock Bank, another autonomous institu- tion under the Ministry of Agri- culture and Livestock, besides its functions as provider of credits for agricultural and eattle raising activities, is the principal regulat- ing agency in the country for the consumers market. Due to this double finality, the working ele- ments of the Bank comprise dis- tinct objectives of defense of na- tional producers and consumers, hand that price drops become a menace to the farmer, and that excessive price rises may harm the latter. These coordinated activities make necessary the presence of the bank in all the national cen- ters of agricultural fishing and cat- tle, raising production, through an organization with headquarters in Caracas, and branches in all the principal cities of the in- terior, 78 agencies in towns near- est to production centers, and a network of offices destined to the purchase of produce. To this ad- ministrative organization, the bank adds a system of industrial establishments of its own, such as slaughter houses, packing houses, silos and warehouses. The credit activites of the bank are dedicated to supply loans on liberal conditions to agricultural producers, cattlemen and fisher- men, and the gross of its opera- tions is in “supply loans” destin- ed to meet the expenses of sowing and harvesting, as well as works related with cattle raising and fishing. ‘ In its function as price regulat- or, the bank maintains an State guarantee in favor of producers, from whom it buys harvests, cat- tle on the hoof and fishing pro- ducts, in order to avoid excess of supply, and offers in the market that may cause sudden price drops.

S. Coast Guard Thursday as they sailed in a 70-foot chartered freighter to join the guerrilla warfare led by Fidel Castro against Cuba’s Presi- dent Fulgencio Batista.

RETIRED FROM POST UNITED NATIONS. —(UP).— The Guatemala government has decided to dismiss Dr. Emilio Are- nales Catalan, as head of her per- manent mission in the United Na- tions. The report caused surprise and was felt in the closing meeting of the Fiduciary Administration Council, which recently elected the Guatemalan diplomat as pre- sident. Arenales, the youngest ambas- sador in the United Nations, in little over three years displayed wisdom in the Latin American di- plomacy, of which group he is now provisional president. The late Carlos Castillo Armas sent Arenales as a delegate in the non-free territories commission of the Unitéd Nations in August 1954, and appointed him perman- ent representative in April 1955. During his office in United Na: tions Arenales has been vice-pre- sident of the non-free territories commission and its president la- ter; president of special political commission of last year assembly; vice-president of the fiduciary ad- ministration council and president of this council in 1958. After giving thanks for the friendly and affectionate demostra-| tions in the closing meeting of the eouncil, Arenales said; “My leaving the council, as you know, has two phases:it is the last time that I. have the honor to preside the deliberations of the council, and the same time it is the end of a mission that for three and a half years I fulfilled! in the United Nations in represen- tation of Guatemala”. When explaining his departure to the newsmen Arenales said: “Tt is logical in every new go- vernment to reorganize its for- eign service”.

S. BILLION DOLLAR EXPORT TRADE IS THREATENED BY NEW RESTRICTION Venezuelan Circles Express Deep Concern Over Possible Effect on Their Economy WASHINGTON, Mar. 28. (UP) Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, in a speech supporting the extension of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act, declared that the United States must maintain a large volume of imports of Vene- zuelan oil, for the benefit of the free world. The extension is indispensable, according to Dulles, for the United States and its allies to win the cold war with the Soviet Union. To illustrate his point, Dulles mentioned the trade relations of the United States with “four key countries of the free world”. Ve- nezuela is one of them. “In the south —Dulles said— there is Venezuela with her oil deposits. Venezuelan oil helped to win World War II and support- ed our effort in the Korean War. “Venezuela imported from the United States in 1957 merchandise worth one billion dollars. We im- ported Venezuelan products worth 900 million dollars. “It certainly would not be for the benefit of national security to give Venezuelans the impression that we are trying to substantial- ly reduce the purchases. we make) from them”. In diplomatic circles, meanwhile, doubt was expressed that the latest reduction on U.S, oil im- ports will affect Venezuela much more than the restrictions already in effect: They believe, however, that the total reduction in U.S. oil imports, is a threat to trade between the two countries, which is about one billion dollars each way. Vene- zuelan oil shipments had already been reducted to ‘200,000 barrels a days. The same circles said that if Venezuela lacks the dollars to buy machinery and consumer goods, the U.S. economy will also suffer. Venezuela, however, will suffer more, since her economy is based 85 percent in the sales of oil to the world, and the U.S. is the best costumer. VENEZUELAN CIRCLES EXPRESS CONCERN NEW YORK. (UP). — Vene- zuelan economists and _busines- smen in this city expressed deep concern about the possible éffect on the Venezuelan economy of the new restriction on U.S. oil imports. The general opinion is that the measure will have unfavorable re- percussions in Venezuela, pur- chaser in large scale of U.S. pro- ducts. “As our sales decrease in the United States, a proportional de- crease has to be felt in our pur- chases here”, a source said. “This will happen —he added— when the United States is going through a depression, which stres- ses even more the adverse effect of the measure. The depression has decreased purchasing power here, which brings the need not only to’ keep, but to increase, for- eign markets, among which Ve- nezuela has an important place”. Several Venezuelans gave the opinion that the restriction “is no longer voluntary and has become voluntary by force”. “It even’ establishes sanctions for those who violate it”, said one of them. They pointed out the fact that the measure applies to the East of the Rockies, which affects Ve- nezuela most, since she, is the prin- cipal supplier in that U.S. region. They explained that in the West, Canada is the main supplier, and that Europe is the main con- sumer of Middle East oil. Chicago's Pan American Games Will be Held With Month - Long Festival WASHINGTON, D. €. (PAU) — Chicagu, host to the 1959 Pan American. Games, will stage a month-long Festival of the Ameri- cas at the same time as the West- ern Hemisphere Olympics. The Third Pan American Games, in whick Canada also participates, are scheduled for Aug. 27Sept. 7. The Festival will run the entire month of’ August, Col. Jack Reilly Director of Spe- cial Events for Chicago, told a meeting in Washington of Latin American ambassadors and State Department officials that more than 2,000 athletes are expected for the games, which are held every four years.

The importance of the Games rests not only on. the athletic re cords that are set but also on the friendship and understanding they develop among the peoples ef all of our countries. Reilly stressed, Arnold Maremont, Chairman of the Chicago Festival of the Ameri- cas Committee said the city was basing its cultural program on the idea of bringing as much of Latin America to the midwest as pos- sible so “our people will ge to know the.” He said all Games officials would receive a course of Spanish to help ease the communications barrier Maremont asked the ambassad- ors to arrange for comprehensive cultural exhibits from their coun- tries for display during thé Festiv- al which would be of interest to the 20,000,000 inhabitants of the midwest. “We are not interested in a com- mercial show,” he said. “We don’t want to buy anything or sell any- thing. We want exhibits that will present the culture of your coun- tries.” F Among the events outlined by Maremont for the Festival were a showing of pre-Colombian art at tne Chicago Art Institute, seminars on topics of mutual interest organ- ized by the universities, presenta- tion of Latin- American plays and opera in the city’s theaters, con- certs by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra with guest conductors from Latin America, and the pre- sentation of the Stratford Shake speare Company of Ontario, Cana- a.
