JOSE A. MORA AND FREEDOM
OF EXPRESSION

Fl Although diplomatic discretion, characteristic of Of
fetal communicates, has not allowed publication of the man,
ner in which the Secretary General of the Organization Of
American States stated his viewpoint during the discussion
OF the Cuban protest, regarding the democratic TV pro-
gram of last Sunday, transmitted from the Hall of the
Americas of the Pan American Union, 1t has been learned
that the illustriouS Uruguayan statesman had a brilliant
participation in that debate. -
Jose A. Mora defended his conduct with a deep demo-
cratic sense, with logical reasoning, with comparisons with
the United Nations, all that in the most decOrOuS manner.
Once more, DR.. Mora has won a victory at the Organization
of American States, of which he was President some years
ago, when he was Ambassador of the Republic of Uruguay
before the White House and the GAS.
1t is nothing new for Mora to participate in a cOntrO
versy of this nature, in which he had to defend, in a re-
Spectful manner, without OutburStS of demagOguery, with
a high sense of responsibility, the theological principles
that for him, and for all men of similar political beliefs,
are so dear.
The unfortunate Cuban protest an error in diploma
tic strategy of the Havana regime was doomed to failure,
both because Of its brittle foundation and the moral and
mental quality of the person whom, baSically, they tried to
cenSure. The democratic prestige of Jose A. Mora Is of
continental scope, and this incident has served to streng-
then even more his vigorous personality before all the
peoples of the Americas. AS it is WellknOWn, for cir
cumstanceS which are easy to understand, and which in
official communicates are placed in the field of SIN Amer
lean understanding, Cuba had to withdraw her protest.
Naturally, within the GAS there was no atmosphere favor
eminent, from two of which it has received military aid,
supported the thesis of the ShOrtlived and unexpected
Cuban protest.
preston Of thought, and his gesture will have continental
repercussiOnS, in the sense OF giving more life and greater
democratic vibration to the organization OF which he is
worthy Secretary General.

Politics Is a Lucrative
Industry

There is no question that a
great many people dedicate with
special endeavor to political &C.
tivities, and in good faith contri-
butte all their enthusiasm and
capabilities to serve the cause
they believe is best for the in
tereSts of the country. Right or
wrong, they deserve respect be-
cause their actions develop on
the lines of honesty and on the
basis of an theological concept
OF democratic roots.
But there are in the political
field certain elements who par
ticipate in such activities with
absolute ignorance of the high
detectives of politics or, still
worse, knowing of it, they act as
If politics were a source of in
dustrial production. To the lat
ter, politics is the only way that
leads to the top, where money is
for the asking or where the ben
efits obtained, the same as mon
ey, seriously damage national as
well as private interests.
Unfortunately, among the So
called Industrial type politi-
clans, there are many cunning
individuals with misapplied in
telligence, who place one and
other characteristic at the exclu-
sive service of their interests,
which, precisely, are incompati-
BILE with the interests of the
State. And the suffering Nation,
often having few practical de-
tenders, must endure the excess
SEES and disbehavior Of those who
use politics to get to the top
and to enrich themselves at the
cost of national interests.
What perhaps contributes more
to the ~infiltration of unscrupu-
lous politicians, of those rascals
who go at all cost after money
and power, is the indifference
of the honest citizens, of the peo-
pie who stay with their arms
crossed while the Republic is in
danger. If all the good citizens
and, particularly the ones capa-
bly, endowed, would close their
ranks in the defense of the Ma
ton, the field would be reduced
for those who aspire to get to
the government just to satisfy
their political ambitions or to
misapply the fiscal and economic
resources of the country for their
own benefit.
1t is necessary to create a
national conscience against the
political traffickers VIII o spoil
every sincere movement and who
plant the seed of collective mis-
trust in the activities connected
with the problems of the Re
public.

put 1t: The selections show that
the study group has an accurate
sense of the fitness of things"
Asked to explain what ne meant,
he SAID ut is fitting that the
United States, the worlds greatest
consumer of coffee, should head
the group. II is equally fitting that
the Number Two spot should go
to Brazil the worlds greatest pro-
Queer of coffee"
The Brazilian diplomat went on
to stress the importance attached
to the meeting and its outcome
by his government by saying: BRA
iii not only assigned its top dip
lomat in this country to head its
delegation to the talks, but also
sent the President of the Brazilian
Coffee Institute to take part in
them" The presence of DR.. Paulo
Guzzo at the talks, this diplomat
said, underlined their Importance
and Brazil's interest in having
them accomplish something con-
crete, For, said he, if Brazil's in
terest had been less than that, "it
would never have sent Mr.. Cot
fee himself to them"
Asked to sum up the Brazilian
viewpoint on the talks and the ap-
parent speed-up in US efforts to
strengthen ties with the western
hemisphere nations, this diplomat
stated that the coffee talks con.
stituted a first step" toward this
aim, For he pointed out, "the 16
Latin American nations taking
part in the talks produce eighty
per cent of the worlds coffee. In
the case of several of them -
mine foremost among them -
their economies depend almost
entirely for their health on a sta

able distribution of coffee output

Brazilian President kubitschek
Hints a Marshall Plan IS Needed
For the Latin American Nations

RIO DE JANEIRO. (UPD.-Jus-
celino Kubitschek, President of
Brazil, declaring that "the union
of the Americas is indispensable
for our survival" and indirectly
suggested to the United States a
Marshall Plan for Latin America.
In a radio message to all the
nation before the American diplo-
matte representatives, about for
eign policy, the President said that
Brazil, because of her material
development, must be heard about
the foreign policy which binds her
destiny.
He said that Brazil does not
want to become the leader of Latin
America, but to cooperate with her
neighbors for the security of the
continent.
Kuibtscheck recognized the Unit
ed States for its voluntary defense
OF human dignity in the past two
World Wars as well as for their
aid in the reconstruction of Eu-
rope in the post war. He added
that history does not show any
other nation to have set an exam
pie of voluntary aid as the Mar
shall Plan.
But he added: shut we must
point out that all the attention
was paid to reconstruction and
not to the serious problem of de-
yelopment. While the U. S. con
centrated its attention in the aid
to Europe and the Middle East,
Latin America, which contributed
also the victory, was in a more
difficult situation than the more
devastated nations by the war, and
it was the target of the conflict
between the East and the West.
ut is our duty to warn our al
lies and friends of the consequent
ces if the crisis continues to be
diSregarded".
He declared that the best service
paid to Latin America would be to
contribute to her development. To
this effect he mentioned the diff
ficulties met for the propagation
Of democracy while the economic
situations leads to sStateiSm'.
AS a 'cure for the weakness" of
Latin America and to guarantee
the security of the hemisphere,
four points were proposed by the
President: increase of investments
in undeveloped zones; to double
technical aid; protection of basic
products prices; and liberalization
of loan terms of the International
finance organizations.
He said: "the struggle against
lack of development that permits
misery and excessive wealth to live
together, in the long run repres-
ent the security of the American
defense.
He added that our inability to
raise our standard of living to a
human dignity might facilitate
the growing of the most danger,
GUS Seeds" and warned that it is
impossible for those countries not
having the same reactions in the
events and doctrines to unite fol
the same battle. The cause of the
West has inevitably to suffer if il
is not supported in our own hemi
sphere against the advance of the
materialist system.
