'nistro dimisionario en- Caracas,
senor Gaytan de Ayala.
Las relaciones diplomaticas
entire Espai1a y Venezuela, du-
rante este en- e! poder el general
Castro, son absolutamente i'm
posibles.
Preside en- ese gobierno TN
atolondramiento tan perjudicial
a los intereses de todos; sc rea-
~iizan, en- CIRCUMSTANCES de tran
quilidad y desenfado, hechos tan
culminantes y trascendentales,
que no cabe otro recursO, pOr
mucha que sea la tolerancia de
que esten revestidos los espec-
tadores de estos sucesos, no ca
be otro recurso que el de con-
signar, a manera de protesta
piadosa, Ell disgusto causado por
la torpe conducta del general
Castro y de los que le ayudan a
ocupar el poder.
Causa pesadumbre, profunda
pesadumbre, que por la incom-
petencia de un gobierno. Sc pom
gan en- peligro las relaciones fra
ternales que deben existir entire
dos pueblos generosos y gran
des, pueblos unidos en- la Histo-
ria y en- ell porvenir, y, en- apa-
riencias, distanc1ados en- ell pre-
sente por la impolitica conducta
del general Castro.
Y no acusamos a la prensa de
Caracas de igual delito que al
dictador. Como hemos de hacer
ESQ, 81 sabemos que ALI no hay
mas libertad que la que autori-
"a ell general que ocupa el po-
der; 81 nos consta que nj siquie
ra existe la prensa independent

TN periodismo de oposicion?
Muchas groserias, muchos in

contra Espana ysu Ministro, ell
seflor Gaytan de Ayala; pero ESQ
no es ciertamente 10 que ha de-
terminado la digna actitud del
representante de Espafla, sino el
saber, como 10 sabe de SECURE,
que todas aquellas injurias, to-
dos aquellos insultos, eran, nj
mas nj menos, que el cumpli-
miento de la consigna Official.
lAy! de los periodistas vene-
zolanos, 81 Sc hubiesen atrevido
a tomar esa actitud de violen-
cia, sin estar de acuerdo con el
general Castro. Es contra este

Ali New York newsboys under four
teen years of 6 will begin wearing
badges to-day, in accordance with the
ldw passed by the last Legislature
Badges will be issued only 10 boys be-
tween the ages of ten and fourteen
years. Boys under ten will not be per-
mitted to sell newspapers and boys
over fourteen M sell without badges.
The law prevents girls under sixteen
years of age from selling newspapers,
and no badges are issued for girls.
In order to secure n badge a boy must
be a regular attendant at one of the
public schools or at Il private school
and must have the consent of parent or
guardian to accept the badge n GO

The newsboys seem to think that the
now law Is going to put a large number
OF small BOYS out of business.
