Americans who may have in
herited from pioneer forefathers
a longing for new lands in which
to seek their fortunes, might well
turn to Costa Rics, the little re-
public South of the Border. where
according to Ambassador Francisco
lde p. Gutierrez, three fourths OF
the territory is almost uninhabited
and the principal postwar problem
is need Of larger population.
Guest speaker before members
and guests of the Club de las Amer
icas in a gala celebration of La
Noche de Costa Rica" last night
in the auditorium of the Interior
Building, the Costa Rican Ambas-
sador presented an interesting pic
ture of country rich in natural re-
sources both mineral and agricul-
tural but undeyeloped because of
lack of nanpower and finances.
Most of the development of his
country has been around the capital
city of San Jose which enjoys an
annual temperature of 68 degrees
and where small farms densely pop
ulated grow rich hsrvests OF coffee,
sugar, corn, beans, rice and other
national staples, the speaker ex-
planned.
In spite of it's small population
Costa Rica has already built an
efficient highway and railroad sys-
tenn which links San Jose with the
other cities and towns of the nation
the Ambassador continued.
He told Of the progress which has
been made in construction of the
Inter-American highway which he
said has already been half COM
pleted including the most difficult
part. 1t will be possible few years
from now to make the trip in your
own car from Washington to the
marvels of the Panama Canal"
With the promise of motor trips
to his country possible in the near
future, Ambassador Gutierrez's fur
ther description of Costa Rica might
well have added to the allure OF
dreams of any would-be pioneer in
the audience.
| Mineral wealth is there in abund-
ance but is waiting for the pros
pector and enterpriser to bring it
to full development" he explained

DR.. Abmed Speaks
ON India Before
10Th Century club
Bp Elizabeth Maguire

In his talk india ON the March,
DIR. Wahajuddin Ahmed, director OF
Indian Informa ton Service, yester-
day gave the Twentieth Century
Club an interesting resume OF the
| S 5,0OO-year-o history of India, to-
gether with an outline or his coun-
try's present aims.
DR.. Ahmed has had distin-
guished career in educational and
literary fields: he was graduated with
honors from several of India's lead
ing universities and has written
many books on history, psychology
and education.
In his talk, DR.. Ahmed traced
India's history from several thou
sand years B. C. down to the mid
die of the 18th century, when the
industrial revolution and British
rule synchronized in India.
Domination by foreign power
kills enterprise" he declared "and
since the day, 1870 years ago, when
India should have profited by the
industrial revolution, she has beep
dominated by a foreign power 5000
miles away
The speaker stated that the aver
age income in India is $40 a year
the mortality rate "a per thousand
a year, and the illiteracy rate &c
per cent of the population. Future
plans for India he said include
40 900 miles of railroad to promote
enterprise, medical attention for all
individuals and a free education
for each child.
The women of India, DR.. Ahmed
continued, have been given the vote
and today there are 43 women leg
is,ators in the country, one-third OF
whom hold cabinet rank.
IF the world is to have peace,
he concluded, "It will have to stick
to ideals" In this matter he pointed
out that India, who looks to Amer
lea for technical advice, will have
something to give America from
her cultural and religious life.
Honor guests at the luncheon
which followed the meeting were
Mrs. Numtaz Farookhi. wife OF the
deputy director of the Indian Sup
ply Mission, and Mrs. M. S. Sun
daran, wife of the Educational At
tache of the Indian Agency.
Mrs. Geoffrey Creyke, president
of the club, presided at the meeting.

Spacious Embassy Crowded
The Soviet Embassy is well
adapted for huge levees. Yester-
day the spacious rooms at times
bordered on being much too crowd
ed. An attache told me $50 invita-
tions had been sent out. Well over
a thousand guests were present
The door attendants were very
strict about collecting cards Of ad-
mission too. Perhaps, invited guests
just brought a friend or two on
their lone card-that's not unusual
in the Nations Capital. And Soviet
Embassy parties are very popular
the most lavish of all
1t was apparent that careful plans
had been made to try to avoid any
crowding at all There were four
long buffets and several bars to
accommodate the guests and these
were scattered as far apart as
possible
With such delicious and SllmptuouS
food and so many varieties of the
finest beverages being served the
guests didn't seem to mind being
pushed or jammed a bit. The
Scviets here are famed for elaborate
refreshments. They put on super
spread when celebrating their Great
October Revolution.
Turkey, hams, salads of many
kinds, lobster and other fish dishes
were to be had along with every
conceivable kind of cocktail dainty.
Sweets always are served in great
quantities at the Embassy. Yester-
day there was ice cream, topped
with fresh strawberries, layer cake
and chocolates.
One of the high lights of the
affair was the cutting of the giant
birthday cake by the attractive hos
tess. Iced in red, the cake was
topped with Roman numerals-a
reminder that Soviet Russia is 29
years old.
