Death Toll in Floods
In Guatemala Now Pu1
At More Than 1000
BY the Asxoeiotad Press

GUATEMALA CITY, Guate-
mala, Oct. 19.-Flood deaths in
Guatemala have risen to more
than 1000, Foreign Minister Is
mael Gonzalez Arevalo said today
He told reporter property
damage cannot be less than $780,
100000.
LAS each additional report ar
rives, the disaster assumes greater
proportions, he said.
Communications Cut.
The government stepped up its
plans to relieve some 10000 or
more persons made homeless by
the floods caused by two weeks of
torrential rain. But there are no
communications with many of the
stricken. isolated villages in the
interior.
The Foreign Minister said the
country badly needs transport
trains, road equipment, food. med
icines and clothing. He said an
air survey showed many villages
have been wiped out.
In Escuintla, a town of $4,000,
there are 1000 homeless children
whose parents were victims of the
floods.
One of the hardest hit sections
stretches 200 miles along the Pa
ciflc Coast. In this cattle raising
area, many cattle have been de-
Stroyed.
The government named an
emergency committee to admins
ter relief and provided it with a
fund of 100000.
Neighhoring countries were
quick to offer help. A Cuban army
plane left Havana for Guatemala
early today with a group of civili-
an military engineers to aid in
reconstruction.
The United States Air Force is
searching for an American Cata-
lima dispatched from Panama on a
relief mission. The Caribbean Air
Command said the search has SO
far been unsuccessful. However,
it said high hopes were held for
the safety of the missing am
phibian and its occupants because
the area where it was last re-
ported, $50 miles northwest of the
Canal Zone. is dotted with islands
and sheltered waters suitable for
an emergeny landing.
rs U. S. Tourists Trapped.
Twenty-six American tourists
were trapped by the flood waters.
Fifteen had been marooned more
than a week at the village of
Panajachel on Lake Atitlan, 40
miles north Of Guatemala City.
Eleven others were at Chichi-
caStenango.
The government had requested
that a United States amphibian
plane be sent to the Lake Atitlan
area to evacuate the stranded
Americans.

AMAZING GENEROSITY

If Congress needs the budgetary re-
quests of the President, it will cost the
people of this country $6,7OO,OOO, 900 to
give assistance to foreign countries, with
out making any allowance for expendi-
lures that may come in connection with
the proposed North Atlantic defense ar
rangement.
AS we have stated before, never in the
history of the world has any nation so
literally poured it's resources into foreign
countries for the benefit of other peoples
The sole justification of this expenditure
of American funds is to be found in the
belief that, in any future world conflict,
the beneficiaries of our generosity will
help us defend the ideals of American
civilization.
This civilization, by the way, is large
ly an inheritance from the Anglo-Saxon
race. 1t differs considerably from the in
herited cultures of other races and other
peoples and nobody but simpleton is
willing, in these perplexing times, to leave
its defense to other people who know lit
tie about it and have no appreciation of
Its virtues.
The great freedoms about which we
read so much have not come to the world
through the development of 'Asiatic,
African or Latin civilizations. The Mon
gol and the Slav have contributed very
little to its development.
This is an important truth which
Americans should bear in mind when ask
ed to join in any international effort to set
up common set of principles for enforce
ment by the nations of the. world. AS
many observers have pointed out, the
chances are that the "ideal' set-up will
not be laws of the Anglo-Saxon people,
who happen to have only minority of
the votes that go into international con-
ferences.
