MOTHERS DAY

An eminently just and eminently noble celebration
takes place today, Mothers Day, in which all human beings
live up to their sacred duty to pay homage to the person
who, in her magnificent conjunction of sacrifice and hope,
with extraordinary love, gave us life.
No language in the world has adequate words to ex-
press the true dimension of gratitude and spirituality, all
that which a mother deserves from her sons. We can
never do enough TO repay her for what She has done for
us, not only when she gave, us her warmth and carried us
before birth, but also because, from the moment in which
we saw light for the first time, she has accompanied us
with inexhauStible generosity, with sweetness without
limits, with infinite devotion, forming us morally and
physically, with the greatest unSelfiShneSS, always ready
for the maximum sacrifice, to give everything for us. For
that reason, tOdayS celebration is a victory for the highest
values OF the spirit, when all human beings, with a mystic
concern, plant a kiss on the forehead of the mother who
Is still alive, or directs a prayer to heaven for the peace
and rest OF the soul of the one who physically left her son,
to continue accompanying him from eternity.
During these times when materialiStic doctrines
pretend to invert the order of moral values in life, the
homage to the mother, because of all which it means, as
SumeS extraordinary social and human Importance. since
1t is a ratification of the faith in the supremacy of the
permanent values of the spirit. AS long as that supremacy
is In effect, the destructive forces that explain everything
world.
" Humanity is in need of Strengthening the prestige of
the family and to surround it with all possible decOrun.
And there is no doubt that in the achievement of such a
generous purpose, exaltatiOn of the great virtues of mo-
Tiers is q factor of positive significance, since around
those virtues are gathered, fundamentally, all the ideals
Of home and family feelings.
On this great day, on this date cOnSecrated by Justice
and gratitu6e, THE AMERICAS DAILY pays homage to
Mother, as the symbol she is of all that is noble and as
tns1naustible source OF love and sacrifice.

such demonstrations to take place.
"The event cannot simply be
dismissed as Communist inspir-
ed. This is a mistake that is to
often made in Latin American af-
fairs. Communism has been weak
in Peru during the last quarter
century because the anti ommu-
mist but leftwing Aprista party,
with its advanced social programs
and its championship of the In
dian Masses, has stolen the Red
thunder. The Peruvian Commu-
nists could not have staged such a
demonstration in Lima if there
had not been a climate that favor
ed them.
Zone lesson to be drawn from
this shameful event is that the
United States has a fence-mending
and public relations task of the
first order to perform in Latin
America. We have a right to feel
outraged by the Peruvian affair,
but it would be folly not to ask
ourselves why and how such a
thing could happen and whether
our own policies Cor the lack of
them) did not provide opportuni-
ties for the Communists in Peru
to stir up feeling against MI.
Nixon.
Lima's "day Of infamy" on May
8, 1858, will not soon be forgotten
either by Peruvians or by North
Americans, but it could be turned
into a partial asset or at least a
salutary lesson. Some things must
be radically wrong in Peru and in
United States relations with Peru
and with Latin America in general
for this incident to have hap
pened".

"No one can doubt that the vast

Peru or the Peruvians who did
this; it was what Mr.. Nixon rightly
called "a violent and vocal minor

cation and inspiration for the in
cident was the work of Commu-
nists, although there was more to
it than just a Red demonstration.

judged the temper Of the students

The Vice 10 Rule

To know how to rule in terms
Of civilization and political cul.
ture is a virtue, and to have the
chance to do it, logically has
to give great civic satisfaction to
the, person who enjoys the op.
%portunity to render an important
service to the Fatherland, when
fate and merits exalt the person
to the heights of public power.
To this kind of citizen, ruling
does not represent an excuse for
illicit enrichment, nor to impose
his will above all others, above
the interests Of the community,
and above the dignity of the Re-
public. For this kind of people,
the function of public power
must fulfill a high mission for
the benefit of the individual, of
society and, as a consequence,
for the benefit of the country in
general.
When governing with respon-
sibility during a normal term
for which he has been legiti-
mately elected, the duties COZ.

terpreted by his countrymen,
even though, acting in such way,
sooner or later the judgment of
history has to be favorable and
perhaps eonseerating.
Those who govern on the basis
of the Constitution and Laws of
the Republic, and who in all
their official and private acts
keep the Identification of their
investiture in mind, working
eonscientiously and observing a
conduct beyond reproach in the
defense Of national interests,
normally need to be relieved in
their functions because the
enormous responsibilities inner
ent in the obligations imposed
by their positions use large
reserves of energy and produce
great mental strain. Yet, those
who from the heights of public
power do the opposite, and take
advantage Of the government
for their personal gain, for the
satisfaction of lowly political
passions, make a vice of what,
on the basis Of theological prin-
ciples, should be a virtue. Those
individuals acquire the terrible
habit of ruling no matter what,
and to achieve the demands
made by this degeneration of
civic sentiment, they use every
course provided by power TO
arbitrarily impose upon the will
of fellow citizens and to perpe-
tuate their tenure through the
age-old and despicable channels
of unpopular reflections, which
result in the creation of a type
of government in all ways adj
verse to the ideals of democracy
and the interests of the Nation.
The rulers overanxious OF
power corrupt all and build up
a special and many times evil
machinery which leads the coun-
try through paths ending in
goals of exclusive personal profit.
And the people, always hurt,

high price of their rights, of
their dignity and Of their we'll

majesty of the Republic. Against
those individuals, so harmful to
the integrity and the decorum
of the nations, all human efforts
should be opposed, whether or
not they are nationals of the
country that has to bear them.

Latin American Currencies
Were Weaker During April

Latin American currencies in
general were weaker. They are be-
ing affected by the decline in the
prices Of commodities which they
export, Perera Company's April
Report says.
ARGENTINA = The Argentine
peso held rather stady throughout
the month, but towards the closing
declined to $2.27 per 100 buying
and $2.35 per 100 selling.
BRAZIL New lows were
reached in the c~ruzeiro. 1t drop
ped as low as 1877 cruzeiros per
dollar. The latest quotations avail
able were 124 per dollar buying
and 121 per dollar selling. 1t should
be noted that the Brazilian cruzei-
no lost in the last few months about
so per cent of its value. This is
due to the decline in the export
OF coffee and rather spurious at
temptS at holding the price of this
commodity at an artificial level by
the Brazilian government in con-
junction with others. While in the
past Brazilian exporters underin-
voiced coffee shipments in or
der to get free dollars avail
able which they would dispose of
through the black market, now
they must oyerinvoice and buy dol
lars on the local black market to
remit abroad as an unofficial re-
bate to sell coffee. The pressure
on the cruzeiro to cover these
heavy demands has just been too
much.
CHILE - The price held at ap-
proximately the same levels of
about $50 pesos per dollar. Trad
ers were very cautious, and were
watching the price of copper.
COLOMBIA - The Colombian
peso declined to ITO pesos per
dollar buying and 7.30 pesos per
dollar selling.
