Nicaruguun Leader Mentions Errors
Of U. S. A. Policy in Latin America

"Not to have taken warning
when Mr.. Spruille Braden as Am
bassador of the US, to Argentina,
pointed out the danger that Peron's
antidemocratic, self planned re-
election would mean for Latin
Americas political life. Peron's
example was quickly followed by
Sompza, Perez Jlmenez Rojas Pi-

ITO have preferred the friend

governments did not have the
peoples support. 1t was forgotten
that the friendship between the
peoples of the different countries
is of a permanent character, while
that of the governments is, because
of its own nature, always unstable.
For instance Peron diSliked the

that the Latin American countries

WASHINGTON -(UPD- The
revolt in Iraq has reminded once
more the western leaders that pol
icieS in the Free World cannot be
effective without the friendly and
united support of the twenty La
tin American Republics.
Diplomatic sources said that the
increasing recognition of the i'm
portance of Latin America in the
new events was stressed last Tues
day, when Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles met with the Latin
American ENJOYS while the U. N.
Security Council was meeting to
consider the crisis.
Veteran diplomatic observers
could not remember any other
time in which the diplomats had
been invited to participate in the
policies of the United States in a
matter of such transcendence.
During times of crisis in the past,
they were briefly informed after
the decisions had been taken.
The consultations took place at
a time in which the us. Govern
ment is studying means to streng-
then hemisphere relations after
the visit of Vice President Nixon
to South America, which was point
ed by riots, 1t is believed that the
Middle East crisis has strengthen
ed the position of the Department
of State officials who insist on
greater emphasis on hemisphere
relations
According to these officials, ad-
vance consultations on the Iraq
crisis were specially necessary,
since it involves the matter of
Arab nationalism, about which the
Latin American countries have
been divided in the past.
Some of the Republics link the
nationalism in the Near East with
their own history Of struggles
against colonialism. Others feel
that recent events in the Near
East constitute an attempt of
