DEMOCRATIC SOLIDARITY

At the famous Conference of BuenOS Aires, in 1885,
the delegates attending the meeting proclaimed the exist,
ence of "a democratic solidarity in America. 1t is con-
Venient to remember that on that occasion, outstanding
figures of the continent met at the illuStriOus Argentine
capital, representing their respective governments.
The existence of that democratic solidarity commits
all the governments of the Hemisphere, which form the
Inter American System, to practice and defend it. At
least it is a supreme obligation of all the Governments
They must act, both Individually and collectively, as the
case may be, in defense of that democracy, which must
be the essence of continental solidarity.
Anti-demOcratc regimes are identified among them
selves with astonishing ease, and they engage un mutual
services with such a sense of union and coordination, max
ing very difficult the struggle of the people against them.
On the other hand, among democratic governments the
same spirit of unity does not exist, even when they are
really friendly among themselves.
If all the democratic Governments of America engag-
ed in coordinating better their efforts to defend the Pan
americanist ideals which have in democracy a solid strong
hold, the political fate of some of the peoples of our con-
tinent would certainly be different.
without violating the nOrmS regulating Inter Ameri-
can cOexiStence in the light of conventions and resolutions,
the governments that lend dignity to the regional system
with their clean conduct could engage in cleansing con-
tinental politics in all that which may be a ~negatiOn Of
the destiny of America, which is freedom.
The peoples who struggle for their ideals of freedom
would feel more morally encouraged, and arbitrary govern
mentS would feel, in one way or another, the weight of
continental sanctions, even if only of a moral type.
Spiritual forces of the countries of America should
unite, as well as all the political resources OF their demo
cratic governments, in a noble effort to raise the level of
repubIicaniSm in our continent. In an effort of SO much
significance, the cause of freedom and the democratic order
would flourish more vigorous, and would be able to stand
up to the attacks of all their enemies.

Of the late President Carlos Cas-

The resolution says:

The resolution was supported by
deputies of the National Demo
cratic Movement (MDN), the Chris
tan Democrats and the Revolution
aries, but was opposed by the sup
porters of Gen. Ydigoras Fuen-
ties, who has no majority support
in Congress.
During the session, they propos-
ed only to recommend to the Exc

all interference and to request the
Dominican Government to with
draw diplomatic immunity from
the Secretary and the Military At
tache, 0nesimo Venezuela and Col.
Abbes Garcia, respectively. They
have been openly accused, as well
as before the courts, of participa-
ton in Castillo Armas' assassina'
ton, and at least in three other
recent murders.
Deputies of MDN the party
of Castillo Armas- said there is
conclusive evidence" of the parti-
cipation of Dominican diplomatic
agents in the above mentioned
assassinations and asked the Gov
eminent to dismiss the Dominican
agents working for the Guatemalan
police.
Observers believe that Congress
has put General Ydigoras Fuentes
in an embarrassing position
forcing him to make a decision OF
policy which is considered as

tro, and other political groups as
candidate for provisional success
sor of President Fulgencio Batista
in case the Revolution triumphs,
said the Cuban people would re-
joice in the suspension of U. 5.
ornaments to Batista.
Speaking to newsmen, Urrutia
said those arms are used to "mur-
der the Cuban people" and not for
the defense of Democracy in the
Western Hemisphere.
Urrutia declared that Batista
will fall as soon as United States
cease sending ornaments to him,
but ne further added, that by all
means, the Cuban people "are de-
cided to GUST him disregarding
bloodshed'.
Urrutia said that Castro named
him to be provisional President of
Cuba when Batista is ousted be-
cause he does not belong to any
political party, which is a qua
rantee for the formation of an i'm.
artial provisional government
while steps are taken for the pre-
paration of free elections.
Urrutia promised to be severe
with those wholesale killers OF
our youth" and said Batista and
his followers will be tried in the
same way the Nazi leaders were
tried in Nuremberg after World
War II.
Urrutia said he regrets that the
United States continues its aid
to Batista's government, which
"has caused tremendous resent
ment among the Cuban people,
who additionally have bee al

RIO DE JANEIRO. (UP). = The

Gated formation of a united front,
in order to elect a nationalist and

In a manifest published in the
newspaper "Imprensa Popular,
the reds say "the fundamental
objective of the party in the Oc-
tober elections is to elect candida
ties of the united 'front.', adding
that it will consider "victory of
popular candidates as our own.
The newspaper reveals that the
decision to cooperate with other
Brazilian parties was adopted at
a secret meeting.
In order to justify its radical
departure from revolutionary tao
tics, the document says recent ma
tional and international events
justify the conclusion that ~the
socialist revolution" can be achiev-
ed by peaceful means, without
violent uprising and without blood
shed.
1t adds that the nationalist par
ties which deserve most the com.
munist support r the Labor, So
cialist and Social Progressive par
ties. The first one was formed by
the late President Getulio Vargas
and is headed by Vice President
Joao Goulart.
In the Declaration of Policy of
the Brazilian Communist Party,
the manifest advocates friendly
relations with all countries, non
interference in internal affairs of
other countries and equality of
all nations, and denounces "all war
pacts, such as the concession at
Fernando de Noronha".
In the economic field, trade with
all nations, including the COM
munist ones, naturalization of, oil,

One Year Since PeIayo
CuerVo'S Death

Last Sunday, a group Of prom
inent Cuban ,exiIess living in
Miami got together in an act
sponsored by the leaders. of the
Orthodox Party, to commemo-
rate the first anniversary Of
the death by assassination of DIR.
Pelayo .Cuervo Navarro, whose
life was cut short by political
passions, in circumstances and
in a way that will never be con-
demned enough.
It is not necessary to have
party leanings, or to be an op.
poser of the present dictatorial
regime, nor it is even necessary
to be Cuban, to condemn
Indignantly the assassination of
the then President of the Oftho-
dox Party, because it not only
hurt human Sensitiveness with
the death of a human being. but
it shocked all Cuba and all those
outside Of that country who
knew of the political and intel
lectual attributes of the vigor-
GUS personality of the former
legislator and outstanding civic
leader, DR.. Pelayo Cuervo Ma
varro.
The developments in the pe-
litical order that in the last
years have overshadowed Cuban
existence, as a result of the
strife going on between the peo-
pie and the Government, are
most regrettable and invite to
serious and grave meditation on
their political and moral effects,
which are indeed depressing to
the spirit of any civilized person
OF democratic, s~ensibility. When
we come to think that a man of
Pelayo Cuervo's Importance could
fall victim of political persecu-
ton, in a crime which still goes
UNPUBLISHED by the Government,
it is hard to maintain optimism
high and to have the peoples
confidence.
In the face of such tragedy,
friends and strangers mourn
together and unite in the gener-
GUS purpose to rescue Cuba from
the present state of chaos into
which it has been plunged by
the obfuscation of those whose
actions have made possible the
existing hostile climate. How
costly for the Cuban people the
temporary observation of their
democracy!
