Tomorrow’s commemoration, therefore, has transcen- dental importance for all the peoples of our Hemisphere who are united through an ideal and an institution that has crystallized in the outstanding Organization of Amer- ican States, after more than seventy years of a process of improvement leading to perfection. Pan American Day is propitious to stress the obliga- tion of all Governments and peoples of our continent, in the sense of dignifying the doctrinal principles which are the reason for being of the Inter American System. It is necessary to struggle boldly in order to increase the field of action of the OAS, and to surround of moral prestige the quality of the political, social, economic and cultural life of all the Republics of our Hemisphere. Let America be the continent of freedom and hope, not just to repeat a beautiful phrase, but because it is determined by the reality of our democracy and the sobriety of our regime ef institutional and collective life. It is impossible té comment on Pan American Day without paying, in the name of justice, a fribute of admira- tion to the genial Liberator Sim6n Bolivar, whose enligh- tened thought market, at the beginning of the 19th. century, the way to be followed later by the young Ameri- ean nations in search of a collective wellbeing and hap- piness. The illustrious statesman Venezuela gave to the world, was able to dream up and define a juridical and political concept of international life which has been an example for all the countries of the world. In the same manner, it is impossible to refer to temorrow’s anniversary without paying homage to all the eminent citizens of the United States and Latin America who have been leaders in the Panamericanist movement, making it succeed in the conscience of all peoples and in the reality of the international institutions of our continent, During the last few years, this great day has been granted the true importance it deserves. In all the circles of orientation and culture there is a marked and notable interest in spreading the generous and high minded pur- poses of Panamericanism and its system. In this work of enormous importance, it corresponds to the officials of the Organization of American States the merit to stimulate and direct it, with ideological sincerity and singular ef- ficiency. —— 5 Cents—Outside Metropolitan area, 10 cents, TAMPA, April 12.

Asked if he eonsidered that his efforts had put an end to the con- tinental isolation of Argentina, Frondizi said he ignored if there was any isolation before, but he said he talked to the Brazilian officials “with absolute frankness”. “The Latin American economy, he said, must abandon the diplo- matic language, to act with facts”. He was asked if he would take advantage of the visit of the Vice- President of the United States, Richard Nixon, to present to him Argentina’s problems, ‘he answer- ed it was his aim to forget about protocol and to present “the am- bition of Argentina to develop her economy under conditions of res- pect for her sovereignty”. to Prevent Any Invasion by Rebels political groups of the opposition.
