Maintenance of public order for the benefit OF the
community in general and each citizen in particular, cor
responds to the Government In accomplishing this delicate
official mission, the authorities must proceed with great
respect for the rights of the people, and besides, they have
to act in a manner SO decOrOuS and straightforward, that
they may win, Fundamentally, the respect of the COM
munity.
When the Government is of democratic origin, and
when its conduct makes it worthy of the respect and APP
probation of the citizens, anything pertaining to mainte-
nance of public order becomes an ordinary function, with
out having to take extreme measures to achieve equilibrium
in the relations between the authorities and the people.
The type of Government that cannot maintain public
order in a manner compatible with democracy and the
dignity of each citizen, even if it can remain in Power
on the basis of force, should not exist in a civilized and
republican country.
1t could be considered as normal that a Government
has to face a tranSitOry crisis of public order, and that
such crisis is opportunity controlled by the authorities, re-
important political manifestations. To solve such crisis,
the Government, in accordance with the Constitution and
laws, can adopt measures, more or less strong, which,
because they are justified, require honest and responsible
application.
What cannot be considered in any case as normal, is
that a Government has to face for a long time and i'm a deS-
concerning manner a crisis of national inSurrectiOn, yelled
Or open, passive or armed, because that reveals that the
Government is not in a position to discharge its transcen.
dental political and administrative mission. Something
very serious must exist when the Government cannot
maintain public order within institutional normally, because
that must be considered as clear evidence that the authO-
rites do not represent a reasonable minimum of popular
without violence, without jalS being full of political priSO-
nerS, without exiles, without anyone killed and, in resume,
without that grim total Of SOrrOwful events which charac-
teriZeS relations between an arbitrary Government and a
people struggling for freedom. That type of regime should
not exist In our Americas.

HAVANA, April Z. (UP)-Rebel
leader Fidel Castro'S revolution
airy general strike was reported
today to have paralyzed the rail
hub of Camagiiey "a move that
would cut Cuba in two and isolate
the Eastern third of the Island.
The end of the Easter holidays
was expected to signal the start
of all out civil war and the long
threatened general strike was
slowly becoming effective, largely
through the creeping fear that has
infiltrated every city.
The Army reported that its for
ces repealed what seems to have
been a rebel attempt to penetrate
in Santiago de Cuba, and that it
is pursuing another rebel group
in northern Oriente Province.
An Army communique says a
pirate plane" of unknown ma
tionality was shot down on the
slopes of Sierra Maestro noun
tains. The Army identified it as
a GAG, which had painted on the
side the insignia "V-88", adding
that all occupants persisted, and
the Army captured part of the
arms and ammunition.
Santiago de Cuba, principal city
of rebel-infested Oriente Province
in Eastern Cuba, was dying, al
most dead. Paralysis was setting
in there because people were
afraid to go to work, afraid of
violence lurking in every area.
The Camagiiey reports, if con-
firmed, would represent a major
victory for the grizzled b ]
leader who has sworn to drive
out Presidente Fulgencio Batista.
1t is a rich, cattle center and the
island most important railroad
hub.
The works stoppage began deve-
Looping there yesterday. Then re-
ports trickled in that unknown
persons burned down the Dos Ca
minos rail junction on the line be-
tween Santa Clara and Santiago,
near San Luis.
The railroad bridge was destroy
ed and telegraph lines between the
two cities were sabotaged. The ia.
rata bridge between Tanban and
Sale also was set afire, breaking
all connections and a passenger
train was derailed.
Havana newspapers were adviS-
ed by bus and rail carriers the pa
pers could be shipped only as far
as Camagiiey and no farther.
There were widespread reports
of fighting in Oriente Province
between government troops and
guerrilla %forcesI with 26 rebels re.
ported killed Sunday. But there
was no further reports of a sa-
turday battle in which Fidel Cas-,
tro himself was reported "cut off"
and fleeing.

Argentine Diplomat Denies Charges
Regarding Trade With Great Britain

LONDON (UP)- Alberto Can
dioti, the Argentine Ambassador,
fatty denied charges recently
made by Clarence Skinner, the
New Zealand Deputy Prime Min
lister and Minister of Agriculture,
that Argentine was dumping but
ter in Britain.
He also denied New leland re-
ports that as a result of representa-
tons by the New Zealand Govern
ment, Argentina had agreed to
limit her exports Of butter to Bril-
tain.
The New Zealand Government
recently made representations to
the British Government calming
anti-dumping rights over the Ar
gentine butter imported into the
United Kingdom.
A statement issued by the Ar
Diario las Américas., 1958-04-08

gentine Embassy in London today
said: Argentina has never at any
time adopted any measures which
could be interpreted as favoring
export prices. Quite the contrary.
The statement added: "The
Ministry Of Commerce and Indus
try does not authorize the export
of butter at FOB. prices which
are lower than those for internal
consumption.
Unfortunately we are not in a
position to export large quantities
of butter to this market, as we.
should like to do in order to in
crease trade between our country
and Great Britain.
"The fact that Argentine i'm
ports of butter into Britain in
1857 we're only $40 per cent Of
the total imported by the United
Kingdom gives an idea of how
small our exports of this commo
dity are"
In 1857 British imports of Ar
gentine butter amounted to H.
1926 tons worth 2,88, 1872 sterling
compared with imports from New
Zealand of 146,223 tons worth 49,
929, 485 sterling.
In 1856 Argentina exported TO-
317 tons of butter to Britain and
1906 tons in 1855.
AT the same time Ambassador
Candiotti took the opportunity Of
refuting charges made in a recent
editorial of the Daily Express OF
London that Argentina starved
Britain of meat during the war.
DR.. Candioti pointed out that in
the years 1899 to 1855 under seven
contracts Argentina delivered all
her surplus meat to Britain or the
allied countries.
He said: although the pound
sterling was blocked by 1889 on
wards and we were not paid in
that currency we still continued
to deliver the meat"

Peru's most important railway
systems, the Central Railway and

presenting parts of the first two
maturitieS which fall due on Feb
ruary Is and August Is, 1861.
The loan was made to the Peru
Wan Corporation Limited. This
company is incorporated in the
United Kingdom and, as a result of
a reorganization in 1856, became
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the

FRONDIzrS GOVERNMENT TO STRIVE FOR
DEMOCRACY, RIGHTS OF MAN IN AMERICA

WASHINGTON - Mrs. Ana Ro-
Sa de Martinez Guerrero is a dis
tinguished Argentinian with many
years Of experience in the politics
Of her country. She is a veteran
of the ranks of the Radical Civic
Union and worked with forces
which in recent decades moulded
policies and consolidated the par
ty into the most representative
of the Argentine people.
She was prosecuted and put in
Jail frequently during the Peron
regime. Now she is visiting the
United States as the personal re-
preventative Of President-elect DR..
Arturo Frondizi, with whom she
has enjoyed a long friendship, to
etabliSh relations with the press,
radio and televsion OF the United
States.
Because of her acquaintance
with Argentine-U.S. political pro-
blemS, and taking advantage Of
her stay in Washington, we have
asked Mrs. de Martinez to answer
some questions of current interest
which she has kindly consented to
do for the information of our
readers in order to furnish a clear
er understanding of the action Of
the Government which DR.. From
dizi proposes to develop.
Q. What will be the Argentine
Governments position in relation
to the America?
The new constitutional Govern
ment which will direct the destiny
Of Argentina after May l has al
ready expressed its policy with re-
gard to America. 1t is its firm in
tention to assure democracy in Ar
gentina, in which the Executive
branch of the Government, in re-
lation to the Legislative and Judi
cial branches, will show real re-
spect for the Constitution and es-
tabliShed law. To affirm democracy
in Argentina will greatly aid her
sister Republics of Latin America
who see the continent Of South
America as the protaganist of the
Rights of Man. This Argentine po-
licy achieved by North America
in the realization of raising stand
ards of living and promoting de-
mocracy. Thus, with common en-
deavor and with a single ideal
linking the entire continent, we
will be able to preserve the Rights
of Man for the whole world.
Additionally it will be recalled

ma welcomes capital coming to the
country in support of Argentine
capital which will contribute to
the growth and wellbeing of Ar
gentina. We will welcome with
open arms especially capital which
we here refer to as "capitales
humanizadoS" = capital with social
significance. By his we mean mo-
ney which would be invested not
just in factories or other exploita-
ton, but capital which would at
the same time contribute to the
training of technicians and as
sist in raising cultural standards;
in a word, cooperate to Argent
mas progress.
Q. What about Argentina and
petroleum?
Petroleum operation in Argen-
tina is in the hands of the Govern
ment oil agency, YPF, this agency
can contract for drilling, the rur-
chase of necessary machinery and
other resources needed to accom-
pliSh its development. DR.. From
dizi's government will press for a
plan to speed and increase activi-
ties of YPF pipelines and work
ing equipment. Naturally, a great
part of the equipment must be
obtained from abroad, which Of
fers a splendid opportunity for
foreign entities to collaborate in
eur economic development.
Q. Are cultural and scientific
factors considered of Importance
in the planning of DR.. Frondizi's
government?
Scientific and cultural develop
ment should be considered as the
basis for our political and econom-
ic development. Activities in the
former fields will contribute much
to the wellbeing of our people and
the unification of our country. I
can assure you that DR.. Frondizi
considers cultural and scientific
aspects of the highest Importance
in his concept of government. A
country such as ours can create
conditions of independence and
treat with equality in the inter.
national plan only to the extent
Of its own advancement of its
scientific and cultural activities.
To this end, Argentina will call
for the cooperation of all its scho-
lars and researchers, and on al
men of good will from abroad who
would cooperate in the develop.
