MEXICO GETS WORLD BANK LOAN
TO DEVELOP ELECTRIC POWER

WASHINGTON - The World
Bank has made a loan equivalent
70 $34 million for electric power
expansion in Mexico. The loan will
finance the foreign exchange costs
OF four major power projects
which form part o fthe current
$3.50 million f~ive-year expansion
program of the Federal Electricity
Commission. The projects will pro-
vide additional electric power sup.
plies to areas which include Mexi.
co City, Guadalajara, Puebla and
Veracruz, as well as to the State of
Sonora.
The Chemical Corn Exchange
Bank, the Continental Illionois Ma
tional Bank and Trust Company Of
Chicago, and the Swiss Credit
Bank, New York Agency, are part
icipating in the loan, without the
World Banks guarantee, to the ex-
tent of S1,323, 600. This represents
the first three maturities which
fall due between August l, 1862
and August l, 1868.
The loan was made Jointly to
the Federal Electricity Commits
sion and to Nacional Financiera,
5. A., and is guaranteed by the
Mexican Government. The Com
mission is an autonomous agency
Of the Government and owns and
operates power plants which pro-
duce one-third of the electric pow
or supply of Mexico. The Bank
has made two previous loans to
the Commission, sal million in
1919 and S29.7 million in 1852.
Nacional Financiera, S. A. is the
official financing institution which
Is by law the sole agency for the
negotiation and administration of
external loans on behalf of the
Mexican Government.
The rapid postwar expansion of
the Mexican economy has been
and continues to be dependent
upon very large increases in cleo
tric power capacity. The Commits
sion, along with Mexico's other
producers of electric power, has
taken a full share in these in
creases by means of successive ex-
pansion programs. In 1852 the pow
or plants of the Commission had a
total capacity of 286,00 kilowatts.
Five years later this total has treb-
led to 844, 900 kilowatts. Between
now and 1862 the Commission in

BY ANTONIO RUIZ

GUATEMALA - This pictures
que Central American country is
the proud possessor OF a whole
colonial city, which was the larg-
est in all the Americas when it
was the largest in all the Americas
when il. was partially destroyed
by an earthquake in 1773, and
abandoned. The extent and magnl-
ficence of the ruins that still stand
attest wildly the grandeur Of a
city. that was already old when
Boston and Philadelphia were be-
ing founded. 1t forms a historical
picture of the heroic days of the
Spanish Conquest and OF the early
days of colonial Spain in America,
that is absolutely unique.
Even the name of this former
capital of the Kingdom of Guate-
nala, which embraced all Central
America at the time, a name
granted by Royal Charter of Philip
II, King of Spain and Lord OF all
the Americas, in 1547, throws a
romanti, luStre on the very noble
and very loyal" colonial city, a
lustre which is still reflected in
the massive ruins of its hundred
churches and converts OF its pa
,aces and monuments, and which is
felt by everyone who visits Antigua
Guatemala.
Many of these ruins are so mas
sive that although partially de-
strOyed by the eventful earthquake
of 1773, they have Withstood sub
sequent tremors and the inroads of
a semi-tropical climate and wealth
er conditions, to acquire a patina
that is the despair of all artists.
Some are so extensive that they
are a true source of amazement
in the colonial history of the Anne
ricas. A few escaped the disaster of
1773 almost unscathed. Across the
plaza from the Palace of the Capt
aims General, a plaza celebrated
in the 18th and nth. centuries for
its tournaments, %pageants, native
f~iestas, bullfights etc, the small
palace of the "Muy Noble Ayunta-
miento", or Very Noble City Coun-
Gil, is still in use, and contains
several very interesting old por-
traits.
The Cathedral Of the "City Of
the Pensativo," as it was some
times called, surpassed that of the
present Guatemala City both in
size and magnificence. Its main
nave and two side aisles were over
three hundred feet long, and a
domed ceilings, lighted by so win
dowS, and it had also eight chapels
on either side. Two of these chap
els alone have been converted into
the present Church of San Jose

in l543, and completed in 1880.
