AND POLITICAL LEADERS

1t is undeniable that the Cuban people have been
racing, during the last few years, a serious political crisis,
which has been aggravated lately by the turn of events,
both in the government and in the opposition.
Civic and political leaders of that country must.
therefore, face a very serious responsibility, both patriotic
and HISTORICAL as is that of finding an ADEQUATE formula
to solve the problem in the manner most convenient to
the high and permanent interests of the Republic.
In order to prevent Cuba from falling into chaos, to
avoid that her democratic institutions disappear forever,
TO avoid new disturbances of spiritual peace and Wellbeing
OF the country, it is necessary that all those who exercise
a function of leadership in national life, inspired by
authentic patriotism, find as soon as possible the path
leading the Republic to the goal desired by all good CubanS,
by all those who seek OrientatiOn in the political philosophy
of Jose MART.
If this was only the case of struggles more or less
normal, even within certain measure of violence, the case
would not demand so much responsible action in the part
of the leaders of the Nation. But the situation as is now
of the opposition and the measures taken by the Govern.
ment, Is OF alarming proportions, not to say tragic.
When the fate of the whole people is at play in a
sense of responsibility for the FatherIand denies its civic
or political contribution to the effort for the re-establiSh.
ment of genuine national normally, that normally that
must be the result of a series of factors, all of them in
accordance with the democratic aspirations of the people
and with the moral and material progress of the country.
People with sober experience, those who for one
reason or another exercise some influence In the COM
munity, no matter what political party they may belong
to, are under the unavoidable duty to do something
definite, of practical character, of civic sincerity, so that
Cuba may solve her present political crisis in a dignified
manner, which, because being dignified, has to be the
most convenient to the ideals and interests of the country.

MEXIC0'S BUDGET \
FOR 1858

WASHINGTON - Mexico's re.
venues for 1858, excluding the
proceeds of proposed new loans,
have been estimated at 1905 mil
lion pesos, US$624 million, and
expenditures, excluding debt re-
payment of 901 million pesos, at
1902 million pesos. This budget
is 11% higher than the one for
1857, but no increase in taxes is
contemplated as revenues are ex-
pected to increase as a result of
normal economic growth.
Income taxes account for $3.50
of the total budget revenues,
export taxes for 1870, import
duties for 1870, taxes on industrial
production for 1870, taxes on cor.
poration for 1919, and other taxes
and sources of revenue for 1870.
Of total budget expenditures, 81
p cent is allocated to economic
development -12% more than in
1857 largely for investment in
communications and transporta.
ton, agricultural development, and
cattle raising; 26% is assigned to
cultural and social services; 1870
to defense; and 80 to general ad.
ministration.

Son the Colombian situation,
Gallo Plaza said: Regarding the
present Colombian situation, it
must be recognized that it con-
stitutes a unique step in the fight
for democracy in America, if it is
remembered that two old political
parties additionally opposed waiv-
ed all hostilities in a sincere eff.
fort to achieve the unity of the
Colombian people. Truthfully, an
extraordinary experiment that will
undoubtedly find many obstacles

At ECLA there is a belief that

"The colonel, who was until re-

either Colonel Cruz Salazar or the
Left-Wing candidate of the Revo-

Colonel Cruz Salazar is there
fore showing a proper sense of
civic responsibility and patriotism.
Moreover, he is displaying com
mon sense. The MDN will preSu-
mably get some Cabinet posts and
the Colonel, who is only 81 years
old, has the best of chances for
election to the Presidency at some
future date.
"It is of supreme importance in
Latin-American affairs to create a
climate of opinion in all countries
in which the results of fair cleo
