PUBLIC WORKS
PROGRAM IN CUBA

WASHINGTON - Total cons
truction activity in Cuba declined
during the past two months and,
except for residential construction,
the longsustained building boom
appears to be losing momentum.
However, the new public works
programa scheduled to get under
way in the near future is expected
to support the demand for cons
truction materials.
For the continuance of the pu-
bile works projects during the
remainder of fiscal 1858 and in
fiscal 1859, an appropriation of up
to $50 million has recently been
approved by the President of the
Republic. These expenditures will
be financed in part by a general
increase in most transportation
taxes, such as license fees for
private cars, trucks, and buses.
Moreover, retirement funds are
required to invest 40 per cent of
their loanable assets in govern.
ment public debt bonds and 20
per cent in national public securi-
ties issued by the Cuban Govern
ment development banks.

January ~ is in 1858 a memorable date for the eco.
nomic future of the Western Hemisphere. At Rio de ia.
metro, beautiful Capital of Brazil, the InternatiOnal Coffee
Organization was born, SymbOliZing a positive defensive
movement which, however, does not involve a threat to
anyone. The purpose is to unity the thoughts of the pro-
ducerS in order to defend their points of view and, cOnSe-
quently, the interests of millions of Latin Americans.
1t is extraordinarily encouraging to note the enormous
spirit of understanding which reigned at the meetings
preceding the actual birth of the Organization. A series
of i[luStriOus men could be mentioned as principal authors
of this Accord which unifieS all the coffee producing
nations; however, due to space Limitations, we will only
mention those figures who, because of their active parti-.
cipatiOn, could be considered the basic pillars of this great
Maria Alkmin, who contributed all the resources of his
Ministry toward the realization of this important project;
PaulO GuzzO, Director of the Coffee Bureau, whose enthu-
siaSm and organization are largely responsible for the
success achieved; Manuel Mejia, delegate of Colombia, who
perSOnifieS the efforts of many years; and, finally, the re-
representatives. of the four member Nations of the COordinat.
ing Commission who, in their preparatory work, assured
the success of this most interesting meeting.
Perhaps, what most assures the success of the Inter
national Coffee Organization is the friendly attitude asSum-
ed by the coffee consumer representatives. Special mention
should be given to the cooperation afforded by Mr.. George
Robbins, representative of General Foods, largest green
coffee buyer in the world.
The ICO is born at a supreme moment of the world,
when the economic angushes of Latin America require
more and more a positive program of development as a
defense against the plOttings of communism. The big step
just taken in Rio de JaneirO is what could be called Latin
Americas Self-defenSe against the problem presented by
the lack of an accelerated economic development, a lack
which might lead to communism as a result of the low
standards of living in a majority of the Latin American
nations.
