Bolivian Leftist Party
To Ask Nationa|izing
Of Mining Industry
By the Associoted Press

LA PAZ, Bolivia. Sept. Is
Immediate naturalization OF
Bolivia's multimillion dollar min
ing industry was proposed today
by deputy Ricardo Anaya. con-
gressIonal floor leader for the ex-
treme Left Revolutionary Party
The mines are owned by the
Chilean Hochschild Co.. The SWiss
Aramayo Co. and the Patino Co
of the United States. They provide
Bolivia with its major source OF
dollars.
Mr.. Anaya said a bill ready to be
submitted to Congress provides
that present and future mining
investments become national pro-
perty and orders the enforcement
of an article in the Bolivian con-
stitution which provides that all
mineral resources belong to the
state, including concessions al
ready granted.
All Property Would Be Seized.
During 1948 Bolivia exported
ore with refined tin content OF
$4,000 tons, valued at $4,000, 900
The companies pay export. pro-
duction and income taxes to the
government and must sell to the
government 63l y per cent of their
dollars at the rate of 42.42 bolivi-
amos to the dollars.
The bill would order the expro-
priation, in addition to the mines
of all plants, buildings, real prop
erty, commiSsaries, money on
hand and collectible. The govern
ment would determine the value
of the appropriated properties on
basis not exceeding the book
value. which would be paid in
Bolivian currency. However, the
measure would prohibit the min
ing companies from taking the
money paid out of the country.
The measure authorizes the
central bank to lend the govern
ment sufficient bolivianos to pay
for the appropriated properties
The loan would be guaranteed by
national income. Money which
the mines have on deposit fol
payment of social benefits would
not be affected by appropriation
The measure provides for a
Bolivian tin monopoly, which
would sell the nations production
to the world through a newly
created National Mining Corp
composed of two government rep
reSentatives, two union members
one representing secondary and
one representing small mines
The new corporation would fix the
value of the mines within three
months of the adoption of the
appropriation bill.
All income from the nationalizec
mines would be used for expand
ing production, construction o1
smelterS and development of the
nations manufacturing, agriculture
and cattle industries. Part of the
profits also would be divided
among the workers.
The mine naturalization pro-
posal appeared as rebel forces suf-
fered new setbacks.

government troops today and the
rebel radio shortly afterward an
