Bolivians Want
Nation Better Advertised.
La Razon, La Paz-Much is talked
among JUS of the little effort put forth
to make our country known to the out
side world. Bolivia is. without any
doubt about it, the country most. ignored
and the one least understood of all
those that comprehend what is known
as Latin America. Worse than that,
what these foreigners think they know
about us, little as it is, is far from fiat
tcring to the patriotic ear. OF late
such of these as have thought of us at
all have been pleased to visualize us as
a bellicose outfit. eternally squabbliEg
among ourselves and living for the most
part in mud hutS.
They consider that the President of
the republic pro5s by wears sandals,
while the remainder Of the population
go about in thei. barefeet.
OF our climate. resources, history, cul-
ture or accomplishments they either
know nothing or accept the prejudlced
views which unfriendly, II not actually
hostile, interests desire 20 be entertained
1t is high time that all intelligent for
eignerS learned the facts, and II our en-
voys and Ambassadors ere unable to
present the proper picture of Bolivian
life ana thought because OF scarcity
of suitable material TO work with, 1t Is
imperative that they be Immediately
supplied with literature and films which
, will give our contemporaries in foreign
lands an authentic appreciation OF our
national atmosphere and environment.
1t is true that our consuls and DIP
loUats receive already a great numper
Of public ations from the various de-
partments of the government, as well
as an incredible number OF newspapers
which accumulate prodigiouSly in the
! archives of our legations and consulates,
! but these publications, as is natural
| possess scant interest, even II they were
adilv available. to the prospective
emigrant or diqsati9fed industrial worker
| in Europe or North America. the great
ma icrity of whom know not syllable
Of Spc nish.
| And It Is onlv occasionally that some
one of these, interested through some
/ other source. calls at the office OF one
| of our representatives, to find out the
! truth Of what Bolivia offers in the way
of opportunities for farming, cattle rails
ing or other industries. Is our servile
! obeisance to the foreigner so ablect

proper consideration for our country
and ourselves?
special division of the government
should be organized. if necessary, to see
that we are no longer impeoed in our
national development by failure to ad-
vertise the desirability. charm and glory
Of cur lind throughout the Garth. Even
! II no immediate and concrete adVan-
| taoes accrue to us, at least the good
name of Bolivia would be maintained
, outside her borders.
