referred to the difficult situation
which the Latin American coffee

Washington And the Coffee Crisis

WASHINGTON, D. C. - An in
dication of how sensitive Latin
America is these days to any words
from Washington that imply a
stepped-up interest in the econom-
les of the other republics of this
hemisphere was the reaction of
the New York coffee market to
remarks made last week by Secret
airy of State Dulles at his weekly
news conference.
The Secretary of State told
newsmen that the United States
is prepared for the first time to
consult with other nations on pro-
grams which will reduce "the grie-
vous consequences" of decline in
prices and demand for important
commodities. These two general
principles, Mr. Dulles added, "are
of extreme importance, and l think
will bear fruit" And he said that
the us is ready to undertake a
search for a pattern of stability
that would apply to all commodit-
les with "the general approach"
~centering on a program "fair to
all"
That same day, scarcely five
hours after the Se%cretary's state
ment to the press, the New York
coffee futures market closed high
er - a fact which traders ascribed
TO Mr.. Dulles Encouraging" state
ment.
These same circles a~pplauded
another statement which stressed
the need for a new approach in
us. policy in Latin America.
This was the statement by DR.. Will.
liam Manager of the United States
Assistant Secretary General of the
Organization of American States.
Mr.. Managers declaration that U.
S. policy in Latin America is "es-
sentially negative" aroused con-
siderable interest in the coffee
trade, as well as other American
businessmen trading with Latin
America. These circles expressed
some establishment at the outspok-
en- nature of DR.. Managers remarks,
but concluded that they fitted in
with other signs that Washington
is worried about its relations with
its sister republics of the Ameri-
cas-.
According to a coffeeman just
returned from Brazil, officials
there are watching with particular
interest the developing re-ex-
animation of American western
hemisphere policy. He Says Brazil
ian officials and businessmen have

ments of recent weeks, in add.

ARGENTINA - Starting in Bue-
nos Aires, the Pan American High
way runs through Cordoba and
Tucuman to La Paz, Bolivia, TAX
ing the traveller to the very "roof
of the world" the Bolivian altipla-
no, a high dry plateau with an
average altitude of 10000 feet
above sea level. The northernsec-
ton of this scenic and historic
route dates from the day of the
Inca Empire, having connected its
ca.lit,l, Cuzco Tin PERU with its
southeastern outpost near Tucu-
man. Following the conquest of
Peru by the Spaniards, this an
cient Inca road became the main
route of colonial settlement.
Santiago del Estero, founded in
1853 by a Spaniard who arrived
from Peru, is the oldest city IN
what is now Argentina, antedat-
ing Tueuman by II years. The lat
ter became the crossroads of col
onial trade between the West
Coast, via Panama and Peru, and
Buenos Aires, after the second
founding of that city in 1880; it
has retained ever since its position
as the leading commercial center
in Northern Argentina.
From the hills to the north of
Cordoba, the highway crosses the
warm level plains of Santiago del
Estero Province, marked by vast
salt flats; then into the green, ir-
rigated sugar cane country of tiny
Province of Tucuman, called the
Garden of the Republic" because
of its lush %sub-tropical vegetation.
From the city of Tucuman the
road weaves its course upward
through wooded Andean valleys,
reamed by the Cordillera, to Salta
and Jujuy. Kaleidoscope changes
in climate and landscape mark the
remainder of the trip.
The sunny garden valleys of
Southern Jujuy Province, with
their stately rows of eucalyptus
and bamboo, groves of orange and
olive trees, are left behind as the
highway winds its serpentine
course through rocky gorges of
the Rio Grande Valley and the
great %ravine, Quebrada de Huma-
huaca, to the edge of the lofty pu-
ma. This is the mining region,
producing lead, zinc and tin. Be-
tween the isolated Indian villages
are desolate expanses of arid table
land and stony deserts, a barren
landscape relieved only by giant
Towering cacti, pack trains of bu-
ros and llamas, of flashes of color
from the bright ponchos worn by
the Indians.
Each one of these cities along
the route to Bolivia has its own
special C har.a.cte and proud
landmarks. Besides its antiquity,
Santiago del Estero Is noted for
the church and convent of Santo
Domingo, dating from 1890; its
Archaeological Museum, and the
Rio Hondo Springs, a spa which
draws thousands of tourists from
July to September.
Tucuman, approximately 700
miles from Buenos Aires, served
by four railroads, is the largest
and busiest city, in the North. Here
in 1872, the patriot forces Of Gen
eral Belgrano won an important
victory over the royalist armies.
Four years later, delegates of the
first Congress of the Republic as
sembled in Tucuman's "Casa His
t6rica" or Historic House, and
drafted the declaration of indie
pendence.

spas is Rosario de la Frontera. in

Strong-Arm Governments Ars
Difficult 10 Overthrow

The people have the right to
GUST a Government only when
it has a spurious origin and
when its actions are evidently
arbitrary in the political aspect
and of dismal consequences In
the administrative part. That
is, that right of the people is
reserved for extreme cases only,
so that it may be possible to
achieve the democratic replevy-
ing that would not come any
other way, within a reasonable
period. 1t is a drastic measure
whose application is not only a
right but, also, when the Repub-
lie agoniZes from the institu-
tional viewpoint, it is a civic
duty. Something should be done
to replace despotism with justice
and violence with dignified
peace, that which has not to be
paid with the degrading price
of submission. 2
When a nation is bound to-
ward a political crisis concern,
ing the Government, a crisis
requiring efforts intended to
GUST that Government from the
reins of the State, the people,
and especially the leaders, must
always remember that it is very
difficult nowadays to GUST a
dictatorship, becasue of the pow.
erful armies backing such re-
gimes. 1t must be remembered
that even to overthrow a demo.
cratic Government whose admin.
istration develops on lines Of
decency, that is confident of its
clean origin, that has no great
military equipment, it still turns
to be a rather difficult job
unless it is achieved through
military treachery. If this is
true with regard to Governments
that are strong within the con-
fines Of the law, but not SO
strong within arbitrariness, it is
easy to understand why it is so
difficult to drive from the
heights of power those who have
made of the Executive Branch
a boundless bastion of violence.
Those who have the patriotic
responsibility of restoring in
some way the sovereignty of the
people and the majesty of the
Republic, should be conscious
of the imperative necessity there
is to- unite the efforts of all the
sectors that make up the live
forces Of the Nation, putting
aside all transitory discrepancies
or unimportant conflicting opin-
ions, to deliver through the DEM
ocratic undertaking, that de-
mands sacrifices and coordina-
ton, because the participation
of all is needed to succeed in
BUSTING a strong arm govern
ment.
Whenever there is the threat
of a rupture mt g leaders,
parties or groups, each one must
see this reality, so true and
discouraging, as a red light sig
mailing danger: that it is difficult
to overthrow a strong-arm gov
eminent. This should serve as a
