TV programs, with comments, ana.
lysis and interpretations on the
results of Nixon's tour.
Diplomatic observers believe that
this increased interest in Western
Hemisphere matters will finally
result in plans and programs of
the United States, more useful to
Inter American financial coopera-
ton, economic development and
cultural relations.
Certain amount of confusion in
U. S. reaction to the Nixon incl
dents results from the increased
belief that communist agents have
been more successful than it was
believed, in penetration of Latin
America. AS a consequence, in
official circles there is a prevail
ing belief that communist activ1-
ties in all the American countries
must be watched more closely.
Excluding the communist aspect,
it seems probable hat three
schools of opinion will develop in
Washington.
One of them will affirm that the
problems revealed in the demons
trations against Nixon are mainly
of the diplomatic field. For this
school, the U. S. plans for Latin
America are substantially altruis-
tic and reasonably generous. They
believe that improvement of Inter
American relations is mainly in
the field of realization of existing
programs, with only a moderate
increase in aid expenditures.
A second sector connects Latin
American dissatisfaction to Il e
greater economic aid given by the
u. s. to other regions of the world
during the last decades. They be.
lieve the total aid given Latin
America does not correspond to
the enormous expansion of Inter
American trade nor to the aflu.
ence of capital in recent years, and
that the situation requires more
generous U, S. aid to Latin Amer,
lea in the future.
The third sector would reva,
luate hemisphere relations from
the Inter American viewpoint de-
veloped over a period of 70 years,
through conferences. and regional
institutions, and would try to find
solutions through multilateral re,
gional agencies.
The opinion of this sector is that
the numerous Pan American con.
ferenceS and declarations h a
created in the popular mind Of
many countries the erroneous con
cept that the Organization Of
American States and its auxiliary
agencies have more authority an6
economic resources than they real
ly have.
There is speculation that in the
next Pan American Conference, tc
be held in Quito, better methods
will be found to coordinate ma
tional and hemisphere evolution
as veil as that of the free world.

importance Of U. 5. Aid
For Guatemalan Economy

GUATEMALA - Details have

nent through its specialized or
sanizations to push constructive

'anged for in II agreements and
amounts to 9 million quetzales. 1t

AS a result of that assistance,

SO million, the US. government
will likewise pay salaries of ad.
ministrative personnel, technical
advisers, etc. - a sum which will
90 doubt be considerable.
When we published the news re-
port, we stated we would give our
comments later on, and here they
are. To our way of thinking. the
main importance that U S. aid has
does not lie in the amount OF
money contributed, because along
with those sums, Guatemala has to
put up similar ones or in some
cases, greater ones. The import.
ance lies in the opening of means

CHILE - A great majority OF
the Chilean converts, churches and
private homes of the colonial pc
Rod were adorned with statues and
altar pieces brought from Mexico,
Peru and Spain, and with some
polycnrome work by native artists.
Earthquakes, especially the one in
1647, however, destroyed most OF
this early colonial art.
Painting during the late 18th.
and early 18th. centuries followed
the Cuzco school and later a baro-
que style combining Spanish and
Indian elements. The political,
economic, and intellectual enlight-
ment of the 18th. century favored
the development of art. In archi-
lecture, Italian born Joaquin Toes
ca led the transition from Ameri-
can baroque, with its extreme or
namentat;on to neo-clasSicism, in
which simplicity of line and cor
rectness Of proportion predominant
ed. His most important work was
the "Palacio de la Moneda," which
was once the colonial mint, and is
now used for the presidential of
fees.
Pedro Lira, who was born in
1845 and died in 1912, represents a
vital phase in the artistic develop
ment of Chile, not only because
of his numerous paintings, but be-
cause of his leadership in art
education and criticism. His prin-
cipal works, including landscapes,
portraits, and historical compost
tionS all following the naturalist
tendency are on display in the
Santiago Museum. Three of his
contemporaries have gone down
in the history of Chilean art as
pioneers in modern painting. Al
fredo Valenzuela Puelma's work,
at times impressionistic, at times
realistic, defies classification in
any particular school; Alberto Va
lenzuela Llanos, despite his train
ing with Lira, was a bold impress
sionist whose peaceful landscapes
are considered masterpieces; and
Juan Francisco Gonzalez a bril-.
liant colorist, was the arch-enemy
OF academic studio pictures.
Traditionalism crept back into
Chilean art around 1910, when the
Spaniard Fernando Alvarez de So.
tomavor. who later became Di.
rector of the New School of Fine
Arts, introduced a tendency to.
ward the imitation of old forms.
The battle between realism and
impressionist was carried. through
the first decades of this century.
Chilean students who had been
in Europe began to follow the
popular trends OF the School of
Paris. Yet, despite recent attempts
to bring about a new artistic
orientation, Chilean art is, for
the most part, rather conservative.
Mostly European in spirit, it ex-
presses only slight nationalist
trend and practically no influence
OF the Araucanian Indians.
Leaders of contemporary Chill.
can painting include Jose Peroti
and Israel Roa. Roberto Malta has
won considerable recognition in
the United States and Europe, as
an exponent of the current inter
national surrealist movement.
Boldly and with ~apersonal charm,
Luis Herrera Guevara, who is also
well known beyond the borders of
Chile, painted native scenes. A
trace of national feeling can be
found in two young artists: Pablo
Burchard. Jr., noted tor his inter.
probation of popular crafts, and
Nemesio Antunez, who gives dra.
matte expression to the Chilean
Cordillera.
