EXPANDING PLANT IN
CORDOBA, ARGENTINA

WASHINGTON - CUPID - In.
dustrlss Kaiser Argentina announ.
ced today that it will build a 49,
100000 integrated forge facility at
its Cordoba, Argentina, automo.
tive manufacturing plant.
The facility will permit IKA to
provide the forgings for a wide
variety of requirements in manu-
featuring its jeep vehicles, includ-
ing station wagons and trucks, and
the kaiser carabela passenger car.
The company is now producing
$4,000 automotive units a year.
The majority of the forced parts
now used in the Cordoba plant are
imported. Thus, the facility will
save exchange for dollar-short Ar
gentina.
The forge plant is expected to
produce 10000 tons of forgings by
the end of 1861. By that time, the
company will be producing more
torglngs than it requires and will
be able to sell a limited quantity
to other manufacturing concerns.
The plant is scheduled for com.
pletion early in 1859. 1t will be
a joint project with the Steel I'm
provement and Forge Company,
Cleveland, Ohio. IKA will build the
plant at a cost of ST, 900, 900 and
the Forge company will supply 81,

DEMOCRACY AND DEMAGOGISM

The democratic system is ruled by sober philosophical
concepts which, within the scope of a reasonable freedom
and respect for the opinions of others, should not fall to
d~emagOgic Outbursts, because these usually interpret states
Of mind of irresponsible persons, which throw the Re
public into chaos, completely alter the value of political
concepts, and confuse democratic freedom with disorder.
AS the dictatorship of the right, demagogism, which
usually degenerateS in dictatorship of the left or absolute
anarchy, is irrecOncilabIe enemy of authentic democracy,
which means common sense, decOrum and a sense OF re-
SpOnSibility.
at the beginning have been spoiled when leaders who are
masters in the art of demagOgiSm engage in campaigns
aimed at diScrediting democracy, offering In its name utOpic
things and, even, worse, things that are incompatible with
the dOctrinary reality of democracy itself. What they want,
of course, is to deceive the more or less naive masses, to
create for themselves a personality which, although arti-
fetal, exercises influence in the political life of the country,
an influence which, naturally, benefits only the demagOgueS.
Unfortunately, the people cannot easily Identify these
oppOrtunistS, because the abuse of certain psychological
knowledge by the demagOgueS, decreases the possibility of
being promptly recognized by certain popular sectors which,
without much reflection, APPLAUD insincere words and pro-
misses that cannot be carried out. And while the people
suffer di~SappOintmentS those false leaders take advantage
of the undeserved support from the people, which they
win with only lies in their talks.
In the propaganda plans of legitimate demOcracieS,
It Is necessary not only to teach the people what this
system represents ideOlOgically, but it is also convenient
to teach them to discover their enemies, in order to defend
democratic institutions, saving them from extinction under
the weight of dictatorship, or from being completely deS-
troyed by the folly of demagOgiSm, which is another form
of dictatorship, because demagOgues are always seeking
ways to impose their will through cOmpulSiOn and threats,
under the cover of the cheap applause of people who,
although they may be sincere, have little capacity for
analysis.

Officials Agree
on Greater Role
for Latin America
in World Affairs

WASHINGTON -(UPD- US.
officials here agree that Latin
America should be represented at
any summit meeting within the U.
N. Security Council.
They have made this statement
regarding the request of the Pres
ident of Brazil, J~uscelino Kubits-
check, that a more important role
be given Latin America in inter-
national affairs.
kubitschek expressed his view
point in a letter to President Eli
senhower, in which e said it is
his opinion that this vital part of
our continent (Latin America)
should be emancipated from the
secondary position it has occupi-
ed until now in the international
picture and her voice should be
heard in the discussions of the
destiny of all the peoples of the
world.
Official sources said they were
In complete agreement that Latin
America should be represented in
that meeting, in which regions of
the Middle East and Asia will be
represented, adding that Eisenho-
Wer will send an answer soon to
President Kubitschek.
They also said that it would be
natural that all members of the
Security Council are represented
by their Chief Executives in case
OF a conference within that agency.
Colombia and Panama are the two
Latin American countries repre-
Sented by their Chief Executives
in case of a conference within that
agency. Colombia and Panama are

represented now at the Security
Council.
High ranking State Department
officials said they don't know what
steps have been taken to invite

He added that he hopes to reach
other agreements for importing
smaller quantities of oil from Ru-
mania, Venezuela, Bolivia, Mexico,

Frondizi also reported that the
Government Oil Monopoly (YPF)

that he regrets the loss of many

who have gone abroad. He said

port to the Government Oil Mono
poly.
He also insisted that the Mono
poly shall be the main instrument
in all these operations and that
none of the countries under con-
tract will have any part Of the

send a message to Congress asking
it to approve a law in which,

However, the draft agreement

concerned. They have until Aug. s

Meantime, representatives of
Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Ell Sal
vador and Costa Rica will seek to
convince African producers to
agree to a withhold program.
While the meetings at which the
draft agreement was worked out
were secret, it is known that some
Of the other Latin American coun-
tries have not been enthusiastic.
Many went along with the draft
because: /. 1t did not definitely
commit their countries; and, 3.
they felt they had to 60 along in
consideration of inter- American
solidarity.
If African nations agree to the
Withholding program there is little
doubt that the other Latin nations
would also 60 along. But if agree
ment is not obtained from the
Africans some may decline 10 80
along.
The Africans who have been in
~creasing their production under
the umbrella of Brazil pricing
schemes and the Mexico City
agreement, are naturally relectant
to agree to any cut-back program,
A recent World Bank study com
mented that failure Of the Africans
to join an agreement would be q

The Chief Executive made this

Inauguration of the 47th confer
ence of the Interparliamentary

not but seriously worry those who
mediate on the destiny of human
ity".
The President indirectly referred
to the Near East question, saying
that 1--WE are still under a strain
which keeps us in constant Sus-
pense".
Although many, he said, still
try to ignore it, we all know that
the people of entire continents
can now be transformed into
ashes"
He then said: "Under present
circumstances, We should concen-
trate on a supreme effort for
peace.
He added that if scientific ad-
vances had been negatively ap-
piled in the past, man would ne
yer have left the woods and that
if atomic power, which now threa-
tens the world, is used for peace
full development, it will begin an
era which will eliminate poverty
and Ignorance. Upon stating that
the struggle against misery de-
ponds on understanding among
nations, Kubitschek told the dele
gates that peace depends on mu-
tual respect and recognition that
no one possesses the key to alb
solute truth. If we decide not to
fall back on force and violence in
order to impose our ideas, the tri-
bulations which beset us will ma
gically disappear.
He continued by saying that if
a small part of the funds used to
manufacture war machines were
used constructively, a wealth
which would end injustice and mi
sery would be created.
Regarding the matter of regulat-
ing foreign investments, which fl
cures in the theme of the confer
ence, Kubitschek stated that the
Latin American nations are great
ly interested in this phase, which
is important for the undercevelop-
ed countries and added: america
is aware of being the source of a
great material, Topographic, and
spiritual heritage which should be
used for Our own benefit and for
that of all humanity. He added
that the struggle for development
depends upon the cooperation of
everyone.
The Soviet delegation to the
meeting tried once more to have
the question of the Middle East
included in the agenda, but the
Secretary General of the Organi-
cation, Andre Blunay, reminded
the head of the delegation, Alex
ander Volkov, that, according to
the Rules once a resolution has
been rejected, it can be included
in the agenda only with a two third
