AND PARAGUAY

Recently, the news agencies have reported accuSa-
tons of Subvelslve movements against the relationships of
Paraguay and Nicaragua, the latter of a dynaStic type. The
accusations have been made by the respective Govern
mentS, which feel threatened, perhaps more than by the
reality of any movement against them, by the insecurity
characteriZing all unpopular regimes.
AS it is well known, the recent electoral comedy in Pa
raguay, which has served as a preteXt for a new term Tor
General SGrOesSner, has created an atmosphere OF greater
political unrest in that unfortunate South American ma
ton. to the point of causing OutburStS of armed rebellion.
On the other hand, the prolonged Nlcaraguan Crisis,
WOrSened by the dictatOral and dynaStlc system OF the
brothers Luis and AnaStaSiO SOmOza, who have divided
among themselves the functions of Public Power, creating
a situation which is causing concern to the hierarchS OF the
regime, who fear that the political exneS, in coordination
with elements within the country, may attempt another
act of rebellion tending to restore democracy in Nicaragua.
In that country there is a double entry dynasty, as was
described recently in an editorial by Francisco Jose Car
dOna, Editor of the newspaper LA PrenSa' OF New York.
Against both regimes of force, the Catholic Church,
diScharging its mission of noble spiritual and social scope,
even within its usual impartiality, has been forced to make
statements i'm the sense of defending the supreme values
of Christian morality which are incompatible with dicta-
tOrial oppression.
The situations are very regrettable, since they deter.
mine, besides the moral political crisis facing the two cOun-
tries, that which corresponds to all general activities OF the
nation, because when there are hints of revolution and alte-
ration of public order, the economic and social organism
suffers considerably. Of course, the mere existence OF
arbitrary and unpopular governments creates an atmosphere
of collective insecurity which, whether there is a threat of
revolution or not, it has harmful effect in the economy of
the country and SOwS public diStruSt in all the sectors of
national life.
The ideal would be that Paraguay and Nicaragua could
solve their serious political problems through peaceful
means which may reeStablSh republcan normally, with
out the people having to face more situations of violence
and more anguish. To achieve this, of course, it is neceS-
sary that those in power are willing to cooperate.

Kubitschek came to his native

the nation to be careful with men
that would rob it of her spiritual
heritage under the disguise of

problem is one of neglect Of La
tin-American affairs generally,
plus a self-imposed inhibition bas-
ed on an exaggerated interpreta-
ton of the policy of noninteryen-
ton in the internal AFFAIRS OF
hemisphere nations. More cour-
age, better diplomacy, more inte-
rest and a greater helpfulness are
not forbidden by the policy of
nonintervention, and they have
been lacking.
"Another trend to be noted
this one temporary, it is hoped
is the economic depression. Latin
America is still primarily a raw
material economy. The prices of
coffee, cotton, sugar, lead, zinc,
copper and other minerals have
fallen, with serious consequences
to many countries. Initiation, which
had slowed down, is again on "a
rampage in a number of countries.
The recession in the United States
means fewer purchases OF Latin
American commodities and efforts
to raise tariffs and cut import
quotas. Finally, the Soviet bloc is
preparing to enter the Latin-Amer-
lean trade field and is probably in
a position to do so.
"The conclusions one draws on
this Pan American Day are there
fore mixed. The needs are both
spiritual and material. The Amer.
lean Declaration Of the Rights and
Duties of Man must be given real
ity in the countries still suffering
from military tyranny-Cuba, Pa

receive quick and sympathetic at
tention. In both cases the United
States can play a more influential

Must Keep Our
Defenses Strong
Dulles Declares

WASHINGTON, April IA. (UP).
Secretary Of State John Foster
Dulles said today that the Ameri-
can nations should keep their col
lective defenses as strong as eve
to thwart predatory designs" of
international Communism in the
Western Hemisphere.
Dulles Warned, that Through
agents, overt and secret, commu-
nism strives necessarily to open a
breach in our bastion".
He discussed this topic in an adj
dress prepared for Pan American
Day ceremonies here, which mark
ed the 10th anniversary of the
signing of the Charter of the Or
ganization of A american States
(OAS).
Dulles praised tie GAS as "a
great contemporary force for ex-
tension and maintenance of peace"
in the Western Hemisphere and
throughout the world.
He also said that in no other
part of the world there has been
a group Of nations which had $50
proudly won and preserved their
independence.
Regardless of the victory In
World War II, the need to main
tain our structor of collective de-
tense is stronger than ever Dull
les added. A new threat has emery
ed in the form of international
communism and its objective is
world conquest. Obviously it has
rapaciouS d designs against this
hemisphere, and considers that
Inter American solidarity is an
unsurmountable barrier to its ag-
aggressive plans.
