Venezuela Woged Long Bottle for Freedom

{ INDEPENDENCE was not won quickly by South American republics. For almost a quarter fof a century the Spanish colonies fought domination of the mother country.
 { As important as the U. S. Dec rlaration of Independence is the scene pictured on the stamp above -the Foundation of the Great Co., Ilombia. The design is from a painting by Tito Salas. The stamp commentaries the 50th an-
 niversary of the Pan American ! Union.
 First revolts against Spain oc-
 cured in Venezuela in 1797, but
 it was not until 1910 that the rev- olutionists under Francisco de Miranda were able to secure con- [ trol of the country. In two years, however, the effort collapsed and Miranda was surrendered to Span f ish authorities.
 Simon Bolivar then assumed leadership and, despite reverses, continued the fight for liberty un- til Venezuelan independence was assured in 1921. The Republic of Colombia had been proclaimed in
 1920, and Bolivar named presi- dent. Venezuela withdrew from the union in 1929, formed an in- dependent republic.
