ECONOMIC CRISIS AND DEFICIENT %GoyERNMENT

The existence of an economic crisis in several Latin
American countries is undeniable, a crisis which, on many
occasions, affects the general %welbeing OF several nations
of our continent.
Within the Inter American System there should be
a way to solve that type of problems, through economic
cooperation ably directed and effectively practiced.
There are no few cases in which those crises have
been determined by deficient governments, or have not
been solved because of lack of ability of the regime. If to
the existence of the economic unrest is added the SOrrOWful
reality of a Government without a sense of responsibility
or directed by elements without experience, the situation
gets worse and the people have to suffer, in a large scale,
the consequences.
A good government cannot perform miracles, but 1t
can. on the basis of administrative honesty, of technical
advise, economy, development of production, eliminate or
reduce i'm a reasonable proportion, the magnitude of the
crisis. 1t can achieve it through internal action and, be-
sides, through negotiations in the field of international
relations.
A Government which is respectful of democratic inSti-
tutiOns, with which it guarantees political stability a Co.
vernment that administers public funds with honesty and
develops its activities without dangerous imprOyisatiOnS
and without temerary imprOvidence, does not find much
resistance abroad, if it knows how to present its case, to
obtain at least some international economic cooperation to
face the crisis.
OF course, this does not mean that in Latin America
everything in economic matters can be solved with a good
Government for each Republic, since there are many fac.
tors of different nature that determine the existence of the
above mentioned crises. But there is no doubt that when
the country is governed by responsible persons, conscious
of their obligations, who know the realities of their environ.
ment, and who take the advise of persons who are capable
Ia each field, the task of searching for national w~ellbeing
ID much less difficult.

that within a week the extent of
the damages will be known, but
the estimate is about 100000.
While later on, Jorge Olavarria,
the General Venezuelan Comis-

premises, the cause of the fire was
not determined.
The firemen believe on of the
workers may have thrown a ciga.

fire which extended to some gas

The tanks exploded, throwing
flames which cracked the walls
of the bar and damaged the roof

Peru proposed to the conference
of the United Nation on terrific

Fishing freedom in the high

Peru made this proposal in the
conference committee in charge
of the definition of high seas and
its freedoms.
The Peruvian proposal looks
like an amendeent to the CORES

The Attitude Of The Civic
Institutions Of Cuba

After the dramatic appeal
made by the Venerable Episcopate
of Cuba in connection with the
extremely serious political crisis
now harrassing that sister Re-
public, the declaration of the
Civic Institutions of a few days
ago, published in the edition
of March 23rd Of THE AMERI-
GAS DAILY, is the most en-
phatic and strong document ever
made public, placing the blame
of the political chaos prevalent
in the country on the present
government.
More than fifty civic institu-
tons of the country signed that
message, full of anguish and
patriotism, W h proves that
the magnitude of the Cuban
problem has reached extraordi-
nary proportions. 1t is not the
voice of the politicians, who
would perhaps be thought of as
being moved by their interests,
that denounce the situation, but
the voice Of the Venerable Prel-
ates and the respectable word of
the civic institutions proposing
a route to recovery.
It is not possible to believe
that there is bad faith or misin-
formation on the part of organ
izations of the caliber Of the
National Confederation of Uni
versity Professionals; the Ma
tional Bar Association; the Ma
tional Association of Architects
the National CPA Association;
the National Association of Doc
tors of Sciences. Philosophy and
Literature; the National AS
ISOLATION Of Civil Engineers; the
National Association Of Medical
Doctors; the Catholic University
Association; the Board Of Gov
errors of the Lions Club, to
mention only a few of the long
list Of institutions that signed
the declaration accusing the
regime.
Something serious extremely
serious must be going on in
the noble Land of Marti, when a
group of reputable organizations
such as the ones mentioned
advocates an absolute change in
the administration Of official
life in the Republic. The Civic
Institutions, for reasons they
have clearly explained, advocate
the establishment of a "Provi-
sional Government for a Transi-
ton Period" formed by citizens
of recognized prestige; a ma
tional government set-up with
the prior approval Of all the
vital institutions of the Nation;
a government that may make
possible the return of peace to
the country through the adoption
of short term measures leading
to the fulfillment of the historic
mission of Cuba by the may OF
elections developed on full DEM
