Article 8 of Law No. 489 specifi-

DR.. Eisenhower is engaged in a

Officials described the trip as
primarily a study mission. 1t is
another chapter in the current re-

The reappraisal began shortly
before Vice President Richard M.

The strongly economic character
OF the group accompanying DR..
Eisenhower suggests that econo-

Officials said the group will
place heavy emphasis, for example
on the coffee situation. The us.

the solution to overproduction

EDITORIAL
THE H INTER AMERICAN CONFERENCE

Recently we published categorical statements made
exclusively for THE AMERICAS DAILY by the Secretary
General OF the XII Inter American Conference, DR.. Luis
Ponce Henriquez, in the sense that the meeting will be
held next year, as was agreed in the last conference, in the
city of Quite.
t% As II is well known, there have been unofficial and con-
Trajectory reports regarding the date of the Conference,
saying that the buildings and installations which the Ecua-
dOrean Government is preparing to receive in a decOrOuS
and comfortable manner the American delegations, could
not be completed for 1859. Therefore, the statements of
DIR. Luis Ponce Henriquez, who besides being the Secretary
General of the Conference is a brother of the President of
the Republic of Ecuador, eliminate any doubt ON the matter.
Regarding this Conference, because of its institutional
character, there is a great interest throughout the Cont
nent, because of the results expected from it in both the
economic and political fields. At this moment, there is in
the Americas a great expectation in connection with the
Inter American System, to which all the peoples and MANY
OF the governments want to give new and vigorous impulse,
to make 1t more effective.
r In the splendid atmosphere of culture of the city of
quito. outstanding for many reasons, the delegates of the
Americas will discuss next year the themes which, according
TO the Charter OF the Organization of American States.
possible that before this meeting there may be another
one, either an emergency conference or one specialized i'm

SlderatiOn to what is going to be discussed and approved i'm

Nixon to Lead Campaign
For Greater Recognition
of Latin America by u. S.
MUnoz Marin Pleased With Interest
Vice President has for Hemisphere

WASHINGTON, July II CUPID
Governor Luis Munoz Marin, Of
Puerto Rico, said that Vice-Pres.
ident Richard Nixon would lead a
determined campaign to achieve
greater US. recognition of the inn
portance of Latin America.
He pointed OUT that Nixon had
made direct recommendations to
President Eisenhower on an eco
nomic and political program in
tended to straighten out the mis-
understandings existing among
the countries of the Hemisphere,
which have created tense situa-
tionS.
Munoz informed of Nixon's per-
sistent interest in this matter in
an Interview he granted the
United Press International after
am hours interview with the Vice
President.
Munoz Marfn's statements came
at a moment when the Latin
American diplomatic representa-.
tiveS in Washington are beginning
to consider that the White House
is agains permitting other overall
problems to overshadow the re-
sentiment of the Latin American
nations uncovered by the disorders
that took place during Nixon's re-
cent visit to some Latin American
capitals
The Vice-President maintains
the same genuine interest in the
betternment OF relations with La
tin America that he had when he
returned from his South American
tour, Munoz said. Evidently, he
has made recommendations to the
high authorities of the us. Gov.
eminent regarding a determined
action in that connection.
In some circles it is sustained
that Nixon has declared that the
betternment OF relations with the
twenty Latin American Republics
lis the biggest challange" faced
by the US. policy.
1t is also said that the Vice
President intends to submit a for
mai report to Pres. Eisenhower
recommending a broad program
to check over increasing differ.
enceS in the living standards of
the us and the underdeveloped
countries of the Hemisphere.
The reports add that, according
to Nixon. if nothing is done to
that end, the Soviet menace will
grow more and more and the unity
OF the Pan American System will
become more precarious.

economic and political develop
ment of the island for which he
attained the status of Common

Referring to his new role, MI

THE people of Puerto Rico, who
voted in favor of American citi-
zenship deeply believe in the de-
mocracy so eminently represented
by the United States. But the
United States also have many
chances of human error, and many
such errors in their policies have
led to misunderstanding. We are
determined to do every effort pos
sible to correct them.
Many observers credit Muhoz
Marin of having influenced Nix

liberal financial policy with the
Latin American Republics and of
a more vigorous aid fol the demo-
cratic governments of the Con-
