When the Government when its conduct makes it worthy of the respect and ap- preciation of the citizens, anything pertaining to mainte- nance of public order becomes an ordinary function, with- out having to take extreme measures to achieve equilibrium in the relations between the authorities and the people. The type of Government that cannot maintain public order in a manner compatible with democracy and the dignity of each citizen, even if it can remain in Power on the basis of force, should not exist in a eivilized and republican country. It could’ be considered as normal that a Government has to face a transitory crisis of public order, and that such crisis is opportunely controled by the authorities, re- establishing tranquility among the citizens in all the most important political manifestations. the Government, in accordance with the Constitution and laws, can adopt measures, because they are justified, require honest and responsible application. What cannot be considered in any case as normal, is that a Government has to face for a long time and in a des- eoncerting manner a crisis of national insurrection, veiled or open, passive or armed, because that reveals that the Government is not in a posit dental political and administrative mission. very serious must exist when the Government cannot maintain public order within institutional normalcy, because The struggle for independence | produced Bartolomé Hidalgo, sol-| dier, writer and first of the gau-) | cho poets, A “Montevideano” him-| | self, he introduced into verse the | language of the country folk.

Bank today made a loan equiva- lent to $15 million for the re- habilitation and modernization of Pert’s most important railway systems, the Central Railway and the Southern Railway. The New York Trust Company and Grace National Bank of New York are participating in the loan, without the World Bank’s guaran- tee, to the extent of $400,000 re- presenting parts of the first two maturities which fall due on Feb- ruary 15 and August 15, 1961. The loan was made to the Peru- vian Corporation Limited. Thi sompany is incorporated in the United Kingdom and, as a result of a reorganization in 1956, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Peruvian Transport Corporation Limited, a new, privately-owned Sanadian company. Subsequently the Peruvian Corporation under- ook a three-year program to im- drove the services of the Central ind Southern Railways which it wns and operates. The Central and Southern’ Rail- | ways form the backbone of Perw’s ail network, Their 830 route miles | constitute about two-thirds of all! he railroads in Pera. The re- nainder consists mainly of exten- ion and branch lines, largely own- | ‘d by mining companies, and of | hort, feeder lines.

It carries most of Pert’s iineral exports, which account ar about 40 per cent of the coun- ‘y’s foreign exchange earnings.

On the western slopes of the Andes the valleys are so narrow and steep | that the line has to zigzag up the | side by means of reversing sta- | tions; on this stretch alone there | are more than 70 tunnels. In the rainy season, because of the con- stant threat of landslides, trains travel only in daylight. Conditions on the Southern Railway are simi- lar, though less severe. In recent years the rialways have been hand- icapped in their operations by ob- solete and largely worn-out equip- ment. Emergency imports of grain provided in 1956 to stave off the threat of famine in the south could only be handled with the help of new diesel electric units hastily provided for the purpose. Under the program now being undertaken with the assistance of Bank funds, there will be a gradual replacement of over-age steam lo- comotives by diesel-electric loco- motives which will give better ser- | vice at lower cost. The program al- so provides for considerable re- placement of rails and cross-ties, the installation of centralized traf- fic control facilities, construction or improvement of workshops and miscellaneous equipment for hand-| ling of freight.

Quite the contrary”. The statement added: “The Ministry of Commerce and Indus- try does not authorize the export of butter at F.0.B. prices which are lower than those for internal consumption. “Unfortunately we are not in a position to export large quantities of butter to this market, as we should like to do in order to in- crease trade between our country and Great Britain. “The fact that Argentine im- ports of butter into Britain in 1957 were only 3.40 per cent of the total imported by the United Kingdom gives an idea of how small our exports of this commo- dity are,” In 1957 British imports of Ar- gentine butter amounted to 12,- 325 tons worth 2,88,882 sterling compared with imports from New Zealand of 146,223 tons worth 15,- 929,485 sterling. ¥ In 1956 Argentina exported 10,- 317 tons of butter to Britain and 7,306 tons in 1955. At the same time Ambassador Candiotti took the opportunity of refuting charges made in a recent editorial of the Daily "xpress of London that Argentina starved Britain of meat during the war. Dr. Candioti pointed out that in the years 1939 to 1955 under seven contracts Argentina delivered all her surplus meat to Britain or the allied countries. ‘ He said: “Although the pound sterling was blocked by 1939 on- wards and we were not paid in that currency we still continued to deliver the meat.” WAUGH GOING WITH NIXON IN SOUTH AMERICAN TOUR WASHINGTON (UP)—President Samuel C. waueh of the Export Import Bank will accompany Vice- President Richard M, Nixon on an 18-day tour of South America, in- formed sources said today, Nixon is scheduled, to leave here on April 27 for Uruguay, Argen- declaration contrary to the prin- one to he made by Cantinflas this ciples of his own party”.
