The BoIiviun Revolution

The swift military coup in La Paz,
the capital of Bolivia, is disturbing.
not so much for its immediate effects
upon Bolivia's formal relations with
the United States and the United
Nations as in the spirit wherein
those relations are conducted, the
status OF foreign capital, and the
country's attitude toward it's neigh
bors. On all those matters, the
revolution may cause grave COM
plications.
Although full details of the revo-
luton are still lacking, enough is
known OF its background to render
1t certain that this was no chance
nare-up. The revolt, staged by a
group of young army officers, had its
roots in a political agitation which
goes back several years and which
already produced one previous revo-
luton similar in character This
was the successful revolt of General
German Busch in 1887, who estab-
lished dictatorship on totalitarian
lines, dissolving Congress and sup
pressing the constitution. This
dictatorial regime dissolved with
Busch's suicide under mysterious
circumstances in the summer of
1889 A provisional government re-
established normal political institu-
tions and was followed by the peace
full election of President Penaranda.
who has just been violently deposed
by group of military and civilian
leaders, all Of whom were in the past
connected with the totalitarian
trend eXemplified by the late die
tator Busch.
The leading spirit in this revolu-
tionary junta is an intellectual" a
professional SociologiSt and former
Minister of Economy named Victor
Paz Estenssoro. He appears to be
the brains of party known as MNR,
which is the Spanish contraction
for what, in English. would be the
AAueASAAoA lNNoiuoAoAAoAJ IiOFCAAAOllC.
This party, recruited mainly from
junior army officers and disgruntled
youth" is obviously ultranational-
ist and Fascist" in it's theology,
frankly voicing its preference for
revolutionary methods and con-
temptuous of parliamentary institu-
tions.
Most of the present leaders have
been connected with various agita-
tions and plots during recent years
which were friendly to the strong
German commercial interests long
established in Bolivia. They are also
apparently friendly to the revolu-
tionary military regime now estab-
lished in Argentina. Those are not
hopeful credentials for a regime
which has overthrown the demo-
cratic and strong pro-American gov

Frankfurt

Germany has paid another of her
richest cities into the NAV of war.
Frankfurt on the Main, smashed by
two thousand tons of bombs dropped
by RAF raiders, now must be listed
with Berlin, Hamburg and Cologne
In the roster of great towns sacrificed
to Hitlers instinct" What this
means to such Germans as are not
fanatical Nazis may be imagined best
by those Americans who have trav-
eled in the Reich and remember the
love of the burgers for their homes.
Frankfurt in the old days was one
OF the most congenial places on
earth. Even in the time of Charlie
magne it was famous as a point of
assembly. German kings, beginning
with Frederick I, called Barbarossa,
were elected there. Many councils
met within its walls. The Golden
Bull of 1856 confirmed the city's
claim to be the capital" of the
empire. It's annual fair was trading
institution unparalleled in Europe in
the Middle Ages. During the Refor-
nation and again during several
instructions in the seventeenth CEN
tury the ancient town was injured
and penalized, but prosperity was
the rule in the modern period-until
Der Fuehrer spoiled everything.
Tourists from the United States
commonly stayed at the hotels in
the neighborhood of the Haupt-
bahnhof, strolled and shopped in the
Kaiserstrasse, the RosSmarkt and
the Zeil, took snapshots in front of
the antique dwellings of the Romer
and the New Rathaus, attended
divine service at the Dom or Saint
Peters, inspected the relics of the
medieval guilds in the Municipal
Museum, heard Faust" at the Opera,
saw the Cranachs and the Rem
