THE OPPOSITION IN A CRUMBLING
REPUBLIC
In more or less normal cireumstanees, the opposition
parties can develop individually their political activities,
on the basts of their own principles and with the individual
tactics of each group in the struggle to win power, at least
partially. In those normal circumstances the democratic
system establishes the manner in which each party can
achieve its political mission, and the manner in which it
can exercise more or less influence in national life, ac
cording to the number of its supporters and the quality
of its doctrine.
However, when the country faces a situation absolutely
abnormal, within which there is no room for free play of
democracy; when the Republic, as a consequence, is abso
lutely facing chaos; when the State institutions are at the
whim of those who govern with their backs turned to the
people, as well as to the Constitution and Laws; before
such hard mixture of sorrowful and tragic realities, the
opposition parties have the patriotic duty to join their ef
forts, above any party considerations, in order to do what
ever is possible to rescue the high values of citizenship,
drowned in the seas of oppression and arbitrariness.
Those are not cases of the usual and normal political
struggle, within which leaders and citizens can gather in
parties and groups and thus act separately. In these cases,
any isolated force no matter what good intentions it may
have, is a negative factor for the main task of saving the
Republic. During such moments no effort should be wasted
that can be used in collective work, capable of generating
the indispensable strength to force respect, in such adverse
circumstances, for the rights of each citizen and the fun
damental atributes of popular sovereignty.
On the basis of a common aspiration, eminently simple
as well as eminently patriotic, all the live forces of a
country temporarily subjugated by the arbitrariness of a
Government, can produce a political phenomenon that, in
one way or another, can re-establish democratic normalcy,
which later may permit political parties to occupy the
place corresponding to them in national affairs, and to
struggle with their own platforms for a decorous conquest
of Power.

(o’ombian Mission Seeking
Coffee Price Stabilization
WASHINGTON (UP)— The Co
lombian Economic Mission reopen
ed its campaign urging United
to take steps to insure a steady
market for Latin American coffee.
Jose Gutierrez Gomez, Colom
bian Ambassador, declared that
the mission, after consulting with
Bogota, decided to stay here one
more week.
The mission will entertain nego
tiation with the Export-Import
Bank of the United States seeking
for credit to increase Colombia's
reserve in dollars which has been
reduced by the drop in price of
coffee.
Carlos Sanz de Santamaria, For
eign Minister, heads the mission
of which ex-Presidents, Mariano
Ospina Perez and Alfonso Lopez
are also members. The members
of the mission arrived in this capit
al the 10 of April and have work
ed hard to show the difficulties
which the coffee producing coun
tries meet.
Beside having interviewed Se
cretary of State, John Foster Dul
les, the mission met with high of
ficals of the Treasury and Com
merce Department, the Loan De
velopment Fund, the International
Monetary Fund, and to Gabriel
Hauge. Economy Counselor of the
Executive Power.
Gutierrez Gomez reported to
United Press that the mission will
try to continue these conversa
tions.
The Latin American diplomats
think their efforts have made Unit
ed States to reconsider its opposi
tion to some form of agreement
with the producing countries.
As a recognition for his efforts
in behalf of Colombia, these dip
lomats agreed to appoint Ambas
sador Gutierrez Gomez candidate
for vice-president of the Council
of the Organization of American
States (OAS), position left vacant
by the resignation of the Costa
Rica's Ambassador, Gonzalo Facio.
In a period of six months in Wash
ington the work of the Colombian
diplomat has been so remarkable
that he is considered one of the
top representatives of the OAS.
Local diplomat sources here have
commented about the attitude of
the Colombian mission to meet
government sources dealing with
the foreign economy policy, in
stead of taking the matter with
the State Department and the Ex
port-Import Bank as it has been
done in the past.
The Colombian government has
won praise for the appointment
The AmeiHas Daily
of mission of such high prestige
and experience.
Other members of the group are
ex-Finance Ministers, Alvarez Res
trepo and Rafael Delgado and
Ignacio Copete Manager of the
Bank of the Republic.

GUATEMALA (Continued)
Some of the exhibits' of the
Arehaelogical Museum in Guate
mala City were found at a site call
ed Kamilal-juyu, outside the city
limits. There the tombs yielded
wonderful vases, pieces of deeply
colored jade, neclaces, and many
other items. When the Museum
was re-opened in 1948, it had
added a new Section of Ethno
logy, organized by an official of
the National Indian Institute. An
important part of this section is
a fascinating collection o flndian
costumes presented to the Museum
by the United Fruit Company. On
ly part of these picturesque cos
tumes is on view at a time, since
they are rotated, as are the other
exhibitis of the Museum. The cos
tumes are accompanied by a
number of dioramas on Indian
life, which awake the visitor’s de
sire to see the rest of Guatemala
and help him to understand bet
ter the Indian ways.
The purpose of the re-opening
of the Museum was to recover and
re-construct the elements of the
native cultures of Guatemala and to
claim for these civilizations their
rightful place in the genealogy of
the nation. The Indians in Guate
mala, whose ancestry goes back
not only to the Mayas and their
predecessors, but also to later in
vaders from the north, are one of
the country’s greatest assets, as
workers, as people of the most in
teresting cultures, and as pictares
j que figures in the city or the coun- j
j try.
Every day of the year many of j
these Indians can be seen in Gua
! temala City, going about the
streets or markets in their typical
dress, often of striking colors.
These Indians are not nomads,
but have for centuries been settl
ed in villages, each of which has its
handwoven tribal -costumes. Wo
men wear cotton blouses called
“huipiles,” made in traditional pat
terns and colors which indicate
to the initiated the home of the
wearer. A length of cloth makes a
wrap-around or pleated skirt, held
in place by a clever twist or by a
woven belt. Men’s clothes are of
cotton or wool, according to the
climate of the village, the higher
the village, the colder the climate.
Coast are usually short and stiff,
and may be embroidered or or
namented by woven patterns,
braid, tape, buttons, fringes, and
pockets. Trousers are long or short,
and slit woolen trousers are often
worn ovbr cotton ones; some are
cut with wings and embroidered.
With the increasing freedom of
movement about the country that
has come with the extension of
the highway system, there is a ten
dency among the Indians to modify
their costumes or discard them for
ordinary dress.
On the opposite side of the city
from Aurora Park, that is, to the
north, is Minerva Park, named tor
the temple erected in the 19th
century and used specially for chil
dren’s celebrations at the end of
the school year. Every day the
children enjoy the well-equipped
playground and its large swim
ming pool lined with colored tiles.
The gardens and cypress govgs
form the setting for parades and
other public ceremonies, and the
rounds include the Northern Race
Track.
The view across the valley to
the mountains is superb. The most
memorable feature however, is a
concrete relief mao of Guate
mala covering 2,734 square, yards,
executed to scale by a Guatemalan
engineer, Francisco Vela. From
raised platforms on the edges, the
visitor may look down upon the
expanse of valleys and volcanos,
towns, villages,and water-filled riv
ers, lakes and oceans, and plan
his trip through the rest of the
country. ,

In 1 answer to the Ambassador,
Pella said that as Foreign Minis
ter he had always considered his
duty “to revive and to strengthen

“History, culture, interests and
similar conceptions, he added,

that will grow proportionally with
the rapid development so vividly
characterizing the progress of the
Latin American countries”.
He added that Italian-Mexican
trade shows “interesting events,

cooperation.

that our trade will increase

came to Managua from Costa Rica
that day.
According to Gomez’s statements
before 50 newsmen and radio
broadcasters, he heard Pasos once
saying to Fernandez: “tonight we
have to see Pepe.” This has been
interprted as referring to Jose Fi

The plot, as denounced by G -

together with Fernandez, and once
they met there with Qhamorro,
whom Gomez said told him: “cour
age, boy. You will do something
great for your country.”
Gomez said he was taken in a
rush to Nicaragua before General
Somoza left for the United States,
upon invitation of the Defense
Department. He said Fernandez of
fered to send him a soluble poison
where he should put the bullets
during the night but that he never
received it. He said Fernandez told
him that his only connection would

that he should write to “Francis

WASHINGTON, (UP). Roy
R. Rubottom, Assistant Secretary
of State for Latin American Af
fairs, warned Congress that com
munists would like to capture
power in Latin America, where
they have immediate and long
range objectives.
“The United States —he said—
must be on the alert on com
munist activities in Latin Ameri
ca”, adding that- continuation of
the assistance programs in Latin
America are an important part of
U. S. foreign policy, engaged in
strengthening and consolidating
the nations of the Americas.
Rubottom testified at recent
close-door meetings of the House
Foreign Relations Committee. A
summary of his statements was
published yesterday.
The program of foreign aid, re
garding Latin America, includes
military assistance to 12 nations
with which the U. S. has signed
bilateral agreements, technical aid
and special programs of economic
aid for some countries.
“Latin America is a very im
portant source of supply of mate
rials of strategic and critical im
portance —Rubottom said— and
is essential also that production
facilities, which represent in part
a substantial U. S. investment, and
ocean lanes used by ships tran
sporting these products, are def
ended and protected.
“An objective of the military
phase of our mutual defense pro
gram is to cooperate with our La
tin American neighbors, so that
they may be able to assume in
creasing responsibility in the de
fense of those facilities and
routes”.
The special programs are aimed
to help Guatemala, a country for
which no new funds were reques
ted this year, since the 10 million
dollars voted last year have not
been used yet, Bolivia and Haiti.

ARGENTINA-PARAGUAY
INCIDENT CLOSED
BUENOS AIRES (UP)— Argen
tina and Paraguay patched up their
differences created by the recent
invasion of the Paraguayan town
of Coronet Bogado allegedly by an
armed band from Argentina.
An official Foreign Office com
munique said “Argentina and Pa
raguay are pleased to announce
the happy ending of the recent
diplomatic incident and re-affirm
substantially during the last few
years, adding: “In total, I would
say that miracles have been realiz
ed and at present the situation
there is relatively calm”.
Rubottom and Col. T. D. Hand
ford, Denfense Department Re
gional Director for this Hemi
sphere, were asked if U. S. arms
are being used in internal warfare
in Cuba.
Handford answered that “in the
bilateral agreement there is a
specific provision that this equip
ment will not be used for pur
poses other than important mis
sions for the security of the Hemi
sphere”.
As far as he knew, he added,
the Cuban government accepted
the requirement of not using U. S.
arms during the struggle there.
They were asked about the re
cent reports of Soviet offers to
Brazil and Argentina.
“Regarding Soviet offers —Ru
bottem said— it remains to be seen
how good they are. There has been
much propaganda regarding some
offers”.
“In the case of the recent Ar
gentine mission to red countries,
the aim of securing equipment
using credits for 40 million dollars
accumulated with 1 shipments to
those countries, which had not been
paid, is perfectly understandable.
Republican Representative Al
bert Morano asked Rubottom about
the rumor that the Soviet Union
had offered Brazil a billion dol
lars in economic aid, in exchange
for renewal of diplomatic rela
tions and legalization of the Com
munist Party.
“We have heard much talk about
some business with Torgbras there
—Rubottom said — It is said that
Torgbras is a company without any
substantial backing. I have heard
nothing about any billion dollar
transaction, no Sir. Definitely
there is some relation between
trade offers and the renewal of
diplomatic relations”.
it were convenient for the coun
tries.”
Macedo Soares said that the me
morandum sent to Brazil by the
j- European countries of the common
j market, “it is appeasing for Latin
1 American interests.”
Answering questions by the U.P.,
the Brazilian Foreign Minister said
that Rome’s treaty caused disap
pintment in Brazil and in other
South American countries and
i declared it is'reasonable “that we
should defend ourselves through
international organizations and bi
lateral agreements.”
He had advised the diplomats
of the six countries of *he common
European market that sent him
the memorandum, that if it appears
' to be harmful for the Latin Amer

’ to fight'it.
He said he had talked in the
i name of Brazil only, but he added
; that “Brazil will be siding with her

the brotherly relations that always
have existed between i the peoples

The invasion of Coronel Boga

g<»wOlg}r<a<iii>,
Jules Dubois' Presence
in Havana
Many months ago we com
mented here in this column
about some of the attributes
describing the personality of
Jules Dubois as a journalist ded
icated to the profession and as
an excellent President of the
Committee for Freedom of the
Press -of the Inter-American
Association, in which he
has given a brilliant performance
while serving different terms.
In the fulfillment of his duties
in the above-mentioned institu
tion, Dubois has not economized
effort or sacrifice to defend the
ideological principles of freedom
of the press and to help his
colleagues in moments of danger.
Wherever a grave crisis has
arisen, or wherever his presence
has been required, he has been
there, staying as long as needed,
transmitting information to the
high officials of the Inter-Amer
ican Press Association and going
all the way in his efforts on
behalf of democracy and of the
rights of the IAPA members.
In the course of the serious
political crisis being suffered by
the people of Cuba at the pres
ent time, Jules Dubois has been
in Havana for several consecu
tive weeks, discharging his
duties as correspondent of the
internationally famous Chicago
Tribune and in his capacity of
President of the Committee for
Freedom of the Press. In all
certainty, he was not free from
risks to his personal security
nor was he free from other dif
ficulties associated with the ful
fillment of his mission and with
matters pertaining to his family.
To communicate on the phone
with his wife, the respectable
Panamanian matron, Mrs. Lucila
de la Guardia Dubois, who be
longs to one of the most dis
tinguished families of the Isth
mus, Mr. Dubois met with dif
ficulties that no doubt were
unpleasant not only to him but,
especially, to his family living
in Miami, who for very logical
reasons anxiously awaited to
hear from him.
Once -more, Jules Dubois has
proven his integrity as a news
paperman and his courage to
challenge the arbitrary actions
of powerful ones, with no other
weapon than his pen in the
service of democracy, of his
profession and of the Inter-
American Press Association.
Dubois has collected many sad
experiences as a result of his
vertical attitude, but he has
doubtless accumulated also in
finite moral satisfactions that
are a compensation for the dan
gers he has faced and the ef
forts he has made.
His record lists friends that
honor him, as well as enemies
that, just for being his enemies,
honor him too.
"Renovation of Hearts"
Needed in Modern Work
Argentine Envoy Sayi
ROME (UP) — Argentine Am
bassador to the Holy See Manuel
Rio said here only a “renovatioi
of hearts” and a firm will foi
truth can bring about true justice
in the world.
Ambassador Rio discussed the
problems of “right and justice”
in a lecture at the “Don Luigi
Sturzo” Sociology Center. The
Center is named after 86-year-old
Senator-Priest Don Luigi Sturzo,
who founded Italy’s first Catholic
political party early in this cen
try.
In his lecture, Ambassador Rw
discussed the various theories oe
the relationship between right and
justice starting from the basic co*
ceptions of Greek philosophy.
In present days, he said, there
were three main schools of thought
one stating that there was as
‘essential link between right and
justice”, one admitting or even d®
manding an opposition betweei
them as the Soviet law theoreti
cians do, and one assuming a “pre
carious difference” between th«
tow concepts.
These conceptions, Ambassadoi
Rio said, are often mixed witl
each other in modern thought. A
clear distinction is urgently need
ed in order to place-the pro Hen
