RESPONSIBILITY IN GOVERNMENT

Anyone holding the high position of Chief Executive,
should have a well defined sense of responsibility, to dis
charge his political and administrative obligations according
to the democratic spirit and, of course, in accordance with
the Constitution and Laws of the Republic.
When those who govern have that indispensable sense
OF responsibility, the official life of the State develops in
a normal manner, and the citizens respect the President of
the Republic, even when they are not fully in agreement
with his policies, and even if they do not believe that every
thing is done with good judgment in public administration.
Unfortunately, not all those who govern have that neceS-
Sary sense of responsibility, and for that reason they COM
NIT crimes against democracy, which are against the people,
or incur in deficiencies or Irregularities contrary to the
interests and aspirations of the country. In general, this
type OF Executive reaches power by means other than re-
publican procedure and in open opposition to the will of
the majority of the people. Force is the factor which de-
termines their ascent to Power, and force keeps them In
the Government.
For lack of a sense of responsibility, there are Chief
Executives who confuse the rights of the people and of
the citizen, for example, with concessions more or less
gracious they are in a position to make during the dis
charge of their official functions. For them certain tOer-
ance toward the press represents a gift from the sovereign
to newSpapermen and the people. In that manner Execu-
tiveS of that type interpret the cOnSecrated right to free
expression of thought.
All the force of citizens opinion in each Nation should
engage in patriotic efforts to demand from whoever is
President of the Republic the basic and indispensable
sense of responsibility in the light of the theological prin-
cipleS of democracy and the Institutional nOrmS regulating
a sober and orderly life of a Republic. Any Executive hav-
ing the moral support of that condition that of a sense
of responsibility can realize political administrative
work, even if he is not a statesman of great capabilities
and experience. More important than that is that he is
a good citizen, a man with good judgment, capable of not
betraying the interests of the Fatherlsnd.

Srnathers Urges
Loan Agency for
America

WASHINGTON, June Z. CUPID.
- Senator George Smathers, Flo
rida Democrat, requested in a
speech in the Senate the establish
ment of an independent loan
agency for Latin America, in or
der to insure financing of pro-
jects vital for the Hemisphere.
Senator Smathers said that since
the establishment of the Interna-
tional Development Fund, a year
ago, it has only completed one
transaction, of five million dol
lars, with Honduras.
81 am not optimistic he said
that future needs of Latin America
can be adequately satisfied by the
International Development Fund,
as the Government claims. If past
events may serve as a guide, we
can expect that the international
Cooperation Administration a d
the Department of State will be
extremely busy with the needs Of
other continent, to offer enough
aid to our neighbors''.
Senator Smathers did not ex-
plain how the new loan agency
could be created, but said that it
would be something similar to the
Export-Import Bank.
The democratic Senator pointed
out that his latest recommendation
is a new point in a general pro-
gram of development and aid for
Latin America suggested before,
which includes:
/. A feasible trade program, eff
fective and at long range, between
the United States and Latin Amer
lea.
2. Assurances that Latin Amer
lea will receive a fair and proper
tionate part Of the Development
Loan Fund.
8. Establishment of a special La
tin America Fund for promotion
of health, education and santa
ton projects in that zone.
4. Establishment of a large scale
student exchange program.
Referring to the fourth point,
Smathers said he will ~request,from

Fernos Calls for

because of its development, a La
tin America equally developed

GREAT WATER DEPOSITS FOUND
IN x0tHINILcCS VICINITY

MEXICO CITY. CUPID. - There
are "inexhaustible" water deposits
$50 to 200 yards below the surface
in the vicinity of Xochimilco to
solve permanently Mexico's water
shortages, a group of Mexican
scientists reported.
Mexico City is finding it increa-
singly difficult to provide suffi-
cient water for its ever-growing
population as the, drilling of wells
in the city is rigidly controlled to
prevent further sinking of the city,
Investigators of tn National
University's Institute of Applied
Sciences said today water deposits
IN Xochimilco can provide Mexico
city with all the watec it needs
without affecting subsoil condi-
tions.
The water problem harnesses re-
sidents of certain parts of the city
with occasional out-offs due to
low reservoirs.
The Hydraulic works Depart
ment of the Federal District said
sometime ago that the capitals
scarcity of potable water could be
partially alleviated by the drilling
of new ~artesian wells in Xochimil-
co. The scieptists report now con-.
firms the feasibility of such drill
ling.
Xochimilco, site of the tourist
cally famous FLOATING Gardens,
is located some 10 miles from Me-
xico City. 1t is considered by the
Department of Hydraulic Resour-
ces and the Institute of Applied
Sciences as m of Is areas in
the Federal District where water
can be removed without fear of
weakening the subsoil - a hazard
which precludes drilling in most
parts of the city.

mats in the internal affairs Of the
Latin Republics.
Per6n, now an exile in the Domi-
nican Republic, was quoted in an
interview published by the news
paper Diario da Note.
Per6n, who won election in a
campaign directed against Spruil-
lie Braden, then U. S. Ambassador
to Buenos Aires, singled out the
current American Ambassador to
Argentina, Willard Beaulac, as an
example of the diplomats "i~nterfer-

Ricardo Balbin, a Per6n foe, in
the recent presidential elections
won by Arturo Frondizi, Intransi-
gent Radical Party candidate who
had Peronista support.
Per6n reiterated his intention of
returning to Argentina under the
recently-approved law granting am
nesty to Peronistas and implied
that he might seek the presidency
in a future election.
Asked if he would run for Presi-

The Sacrificed. !.
The proVidentiaI Ruler.

The speeches of some politi.
clans who as soon as they scale
power, whether they do it in a
good or in a bad way, hold on
to it with the vehemence merit
ed by a better cause, are full of
expressions about the supposed
sacrifice that, according to them,
their continued tenure as Chief
of State represents.
II cannot let my people
down. If my country demands
my services, l cannot refuse.
My duty as a citizen is to do
whatever sacrifice she requires.
Words exactly or similar to
these are constantly heard dur
ing reelection campaigns of
marked unpopularity and that
place ridicule on some of the
Latin American Republics. With
irritant scorn of the people, with
unheard-of impudence, in open
challenge to intelligence, these
strong men issue these ironic
expressions from the dreaded
towers Of their vanity and their
might, surrounded by bayonets
and amid political intriguing
that only find explanation in the
unreasonableness of physical vio-
lence, of moral compulsion and
of abuse in all its most degrad-
ing manifestations.
In these campaigns, as unpop.
ular as they are disgusting. en-
phasis is given to imaginary
qualities of the individual who
collects servile adulators with
the use of the whip and with
generous grants. The strong
man is made to appear as a
providential figure, without
whom the country could not exist
nor progress. There can be no
government, no peace, no order
and no progress without the man
who aspires to perpetuate himself
in office or who wants to make
the State his family's patrimony.
Of course, this is a kind of peace,
of order and of progress that
the people must endure and pay
at the extremely high price OF
their dignity.
These individuals or these IA.
miles who believe that outside
their circle no one can govern,
and who by bloodshed or fire inn
pose their will and scott at the
republican institutions, perpet-
uating their tenure against the
will of the p people, through
uncivil a buse s of democracy,
pass on to history as responsible
of the civic and political tragedy
of the Nation, at least in what
pertains to their lethal influence
in public matters. The socalled
providential individuals or fami-
lies "unreplaceable" - who
believe that they are truly God
sent to rule, or better say, to
misrule, or what is still worse,
to submit their country to tyran-
ny, have caused the greatest
harm to democracy in their
particular nations and in the
whole continent as we'll. The
adulation from those who COM
pare them with ridiculous
advantage to the great geniuses
of humanity all of which is
the result of their shamelessness
and of their misery goes to
their heads and they end by
thinking that the country would
perish without them. Naturally,
they must not be sincere in their
thoughts, because they know bet
ter than anybody else why they
are the recipients of such adula-
ton and how they impose their
will over the remains Of the Re-
public.

Concern Over Latin American Relations
Grows in Washington Official Circles
MORE MUST BE DONE TO STRENGTHEN
EXISTING BONDS, OFFICIALS FEEL

One definite outgroWth OF Nj
xon's tour is a growing conviction
that Communist agents have been
more elective in penetration of La
tin America than had been appa-
rent and must be more closely wat
ched.
Three Opinions Emerge Exclu-
ding the Communist angle, three
camps or opinion concerning inter
American relations seem likely to
emerge here.
One will contend that the pro-
blems revealed by Nixon's misad-
ventures are primarily in the iii
plomatic field, Observers and Off
Gals in this camp think that US.
policies toward Latin America are
already altruistic and reasonably
generous.
They believe that Improvement
of inter-American relations will
be chiefly in the field of "imple-
m~entation" of existing policies,
and programs with only a mode
rate increase in us. expenditures
for assistance. Continuity, rather
than change of policies, is conside-
red to be the best course by this
group. The belief of some that the
Nixon tour was faulty in its basic
concept, representing a political
rather than diplomatic approach to
Latin America. In some circles it
is felt that the Nixon gesture to
South America should have been
concentrated exclusively upon par
ticipation in the inaugural ceremo-
MES for President Arturo Frondizi
Of Argentina, which marked the
restoration of constitutional repre-
sentative government.
A second camp believes us. fl
nancial aid to Latin America has
not kept pace with assistance gi-
ven to other nations and that La
tin Americans resent this.
Its members will recommend a
more generous proportional allo-
cation of US. dollars and loans,
HISTORICAL EVOLUTION
The third camp would reapprai-
Sc hemisphere relations from the
standpoint of the "inter-American
system" which has evolved histori-
cally over 10 years through con-
ferences and regional institutions
They would seek remedies through
m%ultilateral regional agencies.
Their view is that the numerous
conferences and Pan American de-
clarations have created a misap-
prehension in the popular mind of
many countries that the Organiza-
ton of American States and its au-
Hillary agencies have much greater
authority and economic resources
than is actually the case.
AS a result, they think the COM
mon people have expected more
direct and obvious economic bene-
fits from the inter-American sys-
tenn than have been physically po-
sSible.
Consequently, there has been a
growing interest in Latin America
over the practicability of a Latin
American common market" or
s~ub-regional cooperation. 1t is spe-
culated the next Pan American
conference in Quito may discuss
such a market.
