Speaking in general terms, one can say that Latin American governments whose authority originates in the republican institutions and the democracy of popular con- tests, do not need any extraordinary security measures to stay in Power, because there is no conspiracy whatsoever against them, at least of the in the country and abroad. Democratic governments, no matter what errors they may commit, cannot be greatly concerned about the pos- sibilities of a revolution or the alteration of public order, in particular during these times when large resources are required for either of them. mocratic governments, those basis of arbitrariness and deceit, of farce and corruption, constantly see the phantom of revolution, and fear that at any moment, from outside or from within, the popular movement to restore democracy may emerge. The best guarantee of stability a regime may have is the uprightness of its republican conduct, the honesty of its origin, the decorum with and the support of the people. tant that well-trained and still better equipped armies.

It would seem that the oecupation of Recife and the sur- rounding territory by the Dutch from 1630 to 1654 attracted a sud- den influx of painters to Brazil, but even Franz Post, the best known of them, was not one of the most outstanding artists of his country, nor did he leave any fol- lowers in Brazil. Painting, such as it appeared in the colonial period, was subject to Portuguese tradition and to pre- carious cireumstances, spread mostly by self-teaching, and was encouraged only by the demands of religion. It may be said that it grew up spontaneously, unmolest- ed by any guiding restraint, and constituted only a form of revela- tion of creative spirit The talents of Brazilian and Portuguese, both laymen and friars were attracted to the painting of church ceilings in a number of cities. in Minas Gerais, Bahia and Rio de Janeiro, | by the appeal of relgious faith.

S. Diplomat States WASHINGTON, April 11. (UP). Dr. William Manger, Assistant Se- eretary General of the Organiza- tion of American States, declared that the attitude of the United States in not acting boldly in con-} nection with the economic pro- blems of Latin America, has re sulted ‘in a period of decay in Inter American relations. In a speech before the Ameri- extended indefinitely because Ar-can Legion, he affirmed that this lack of action has created in La- tin America a feeling of disap- pointment unequaled im many years, “Last year, in particular, one has been able to feel an increa- |sing nota of dissatisfaction with the present state of things; a feeling of frustration, with the inability to solvegthe fundamental economic problems; a discontent which begins to find expression} not only in words but in action”, he said. He pointed out that, even) all criticism against the United States is justified,| “frankness compels us to admit} that in recent years our way of} facing the problems of Latin Amer- ica, absolutely was not what it should have been”, “During the last. decade —he continued— our Latin American policy has been essentially nega- | tive; a sort of attitude of main- taining a distance, characterized | policies Although only one ef the 21 mem- | ber countries, the position we take |regarding Inter American rela- tions is not only important. but | frequently decisive”. Pointing out that in his opinion the projected Development Fund jis inadequate to satisfy Latin American needs, Dr. Manger pro- posed: 1—Establishment of an Inter | American Development Fund, or- | ganized, financed and managed by | the 21 nations, 2.—Maintenanee of a liberal | trade policy. 3.--More ample economic con- sultations, as contemplated in the OAS Charter. As mechanism to make this effective, he suggested | the Inter American Economic and Social Council, “A proposal in this sense, he said, not only will constitute an indieation of continental economic solidarity, but it would be the best way to strengthen what it should be one of the principal agencies of the Organization of American States”. Dr. Manger’s speech is consi- dered one of the most severe ori- ticisms in many years of U. S. toward Latin America.
