ties. Seven years ago Gomez was
reelected almost unanimously. Then
he was well and fond of the cups
in his 'dobe castle. But today. with
the LIST of April liable to find the
general still in bed with the influ-
enza and pneumonia, which have
been reported as laying him low,
the unanimity of the National Re
Mobilization party may diminish
nsiderably.
BIde Time Abroad.
Enemies of Gomez have been
hiding their ease abroad for some
time. it is understood, and Castro
may be one of them.
Theoretically. the deputies have
another year to run. But even the
friends of Gomez admit the strong
possibility of local armed" upris-
ings" before. on and maybe after
election day. These uprisings. it is
understood. would automatically
signal the resignation of the Re
Mobilization Rationale.
Meantime, as an argument against
the Cene-shifters. the friends of
Gomez say he has a friend in prat
tically every one of the 100000
Nenezuelans. The government has
SlS.OOO.0OO in gold in national banks,
and for fifteen years has put by
100000 a year clear profit, record
said to he held by no other country
in the world. The Venezuelan bolt
var is selling at SET to $50 on the
dollar, with par at $50. Everybody
has work, and the government has
jobs for all labOrers who care to
migrate to Venezuela.
