drawn up after consultation with
the governments of the GAS coun-
tries, includes a general review of
the nature and scope OF overall
planning to meet the needs OF
millions of American youths OF
school age.
According to DR.. Guillermo
Nannetti, Chief Of the Division of
Education Of the Pan American
Union and director of the seminar,
Latin America is faced with a cris-
is in the field of education.
Latest statistics show that about
100000 600 children of school age
in Latin America have no oppor-
tunity to attend school. Out of
very 100 children who receive ele-
mentary education only four or
five go on to secondary schools,
two or three attend technical
training schools, and only two
in 1,u00 receive university level
education.
The current shortage of teach
ers poses an equally grave pro-
blem in the United States. In 49,
81, about 10000 teachers were ap-
pointed TO school posts while nor
NAL schools graduated only 5000
potential new teachers The Unit
ed States must double its outlay
for education to meet needs of
the next ten years, it was estimat-
ed by the White House Confer
ence on Education.
General topics to be studied by
educators and specialists attending
the Pan American Union seminar
include problems of educational
administration and school financ-
ing, as well as qualitative and
cumulative planning for educa.
ton. Discussions will also cover yo-
catlonal and technical education
needs, new plans for teacher
training, and educational legisla-
ton.

ment, Santos received the award
last year.
Berle, referring to the demon
strations against Nixon, declared;
1.-TWO lessons must be learned by
the U. S. Government. First, the
fact that the U. S. could lose CON
troll of events in the Near East,
Africa, Asia, and even Europe, but
it would survive if the Western
Hemisphere remains united.
"But if any part of Latin Amer.
lea becomes hostile, the U. S. will
face immediate danger. Therefore,
top priority corresponds to Latin
America, not the bottom, in for
eign relations. The second lesson,
is that both in economical and di.
plomatic fields our interests and
those of Latin America should be
united. We need Latin America
and Latin America needs us. I'm
controlled markets of the past are
no good for Latin America. The
Latin American countries cannot
risk the fate of their peoples to
the whims of fluctuation of the
products they sell to live. 1t is
urgent to reach sterilization agree.
ments'', he said.
He then advanced the following
three-point program:
"FIRST"-Next to the rank Of
Secretary of State there must be
and Under Secretary of State for
the Western Hemisphere able to
reach the President whenever 1t
is necessary. In all the Latin Amer.
lean problems he would have the
responsibilities of U. S. business
in Latin America, political eeono-
mic and public relations.
"SECOND"-The U. S. govern
ment should Immediately try to
draft an economic and integral
system comprising all the Ameri-
can countries desiring to partici-
pate. Its first step should be agree.
ments on basic products, stabiliz.
ing prices and markets for the pro.
ducts which are the basis for the
support of those countries.
Later the organization of a true
American system with banking ia
cilities must come, common mar
ket agreements, etc to insure
the development of all the region.
There is no reason why an Inter
American Central Bank couldn't
do for the Hemisphere what the
Federal Reserve System is doing
for the United States.

Senate Rejects
Attempt TO Stop
Aid to Cuba and
Dominican Rep.

WASHINGTON, June 6 (UPD-
The Senate rejected last night an
attempt of Democratic Senator
William Proxmire to suspend all
future us aid to Cuba, the Dom.
inican Republic, Saudi Arabia and
Yugoslavia.
Proxmire submitted an amend
ment to the foreign aid bill, by
which all aid to those four coun-
tries would have been suspended
during the next three months.
The Senate rejected later an
other amendment excluding only
the Dominican Republic from such
aid. That amendment was submit
ted by Republican Senator John
j.. Williams, and was rejected by
46 votes against SO.
Proxmire said the President of
Cuba, Fulgencio Batista, "has vio-
lated human freedom and funda.
mental rights" He added that in
the United States there are many
who believe that this country is
supporting the Batista dictatorship
with arms that are used to sub
jugate the opposition"
"Such belief = the Senator add.
ed - endangers the prestige of
the United States in all of Latin
America.
Regarding the Dominican Re-
public, the son of the strong man,
Rafael Trujillo, has thrown away
thousands of dollars entertaining
beautiful Hollywood girls"
The Senator said young Trujillo
has spent in the us in one year,
approximately the same yearly
amount this country gives in aid
to the Dominican Republic.
Although the Senator admitted
that it is not the same money, he
added; sit is, however, an example
OF enormous dictatorial power,
that he has so much money avail
able in a country which is not
poor, but has one of the lowest

All those present stood up in a
great ovation to the Colombian
ex-President, when he finished q

much he reminded the cordially

Adolf Berle was then, the greatest
consideration. At that time of the
Good Neighbor Policy, relations
between Latin America and the
United States we're really friendly.
The Latin American governments
knew that in President Roosevelt
and his collaboratorS we had true
friends, he declared.
"That period of cordially, which
b rings nostalgia membranes
he said was followed by in
creasing Indifference on the part
of the U. S. Government toward
Latin America, to which little or
no attention was paid, creating an
atmosphere of unrest d dis
satisfaction, which now is deter
mining a radical revision in Wa.
shington, but only after the regret
table incidents during Vice Presi-
dent Nixon's visit to South Amer
ica".
He then affirmed that the three
Americas must remain united, be-
cause of geographic conditions.
For that reason it is urgent, he
said, to establish solid foundations
of true understanding, to draft an
ample program for the future, for
the coming so years, and not only
for one or two. "And the United
States can do it in terms of peace
and progress. We do not ask much.
We only want attention similar
to that given to Formosa or Korea
by the U. 5. If the money spent
there had been given to Latin
America, our America would be a
stronghold of progress and pros
perity. Wo do not ask for aid as
a handout, but as a necessity for

Venezuelan Minister Concerned
Over New U. 5. Oil Restrictions

WASHINGTON, (UPD- DR..
Carlos Perez de la Cova, minister
OF mines and HYDROCARBONS of
Venezuela, has expressed con
cerned for the possibilities of new
voluntary" restrictions to oil i'm
ports in the United States.
The Venezuelan minister had an
interview with John Foster Dulles,
Secretary of State, concerning the
matter.
Inc government announced
voluntary restrictions to fuel oil
and other crude oil imports.
Perez de la Cova said that this
measure tending to maintain in its
present level the import of those
two products, will not have any i'm
mediate effect in Venezuela. That
country is now exporting to the
United States around 5000 bar
rels OF crude oil a day. According
to present conditions this amount
will continue its regular course.
After he met Dulles, Perez de la
Cova said to the newsmen: "the
new disposition does not affect
Venezuela too much; however, we
wish to express our concern to
any additional measure to any ap-
pllcation of the voluntary restric.
ton plan. The Secretary (Dulles)
gave me assurances he will con-
tinue the system of consultations
Last March the United States
sent a mission to Caracas to con-
suit the government about the oil
situation. The State Department
has stated it will continue CONVEX.
