Pan AMERICAN DAY

Tomorrow, April IA, the t%wenty-One countries OF the
Americas celebrate Pan American Day, a date established
to pay tribute of respect to the supreme spiritual ana
theological themes which have made possible the creation
of the Inter American System.
TOmOrrOW'S cOmmemOratiOn, therefore, has tranScen'
dental Importance for all the peoples OF our Hemisphere
who are united through an ideal and an institution that
has cryStallized in the outstanding Organization OF Amer.
lean States, after more than seventy years OF a process Oh
improvement leading to perfection.
Pan American Day is %prOpitiOuS to stress the ODhga-
ton of all Governments and peoples of our continent, In
the sense of d~ignifying the dOctrinal principles which are
the reason for being of the Inter American System. 1t is
necessary to struggle boldly in order to increase the field
of action of the GAS, and to surround OF moral prestge
the quality of the political, social, economic and cultural
life of all the Republics of our Hemisphere. Let America
be the continent of freedom and hope, not just to repeat
a beautiful phrase, but because it is determined by the
reality of our democracy and the SObrlety OF our regime
of institutional and collective life.
1t is impossible to comment on Pan American Day
without paying, in the name of justice, a tribute of admira'
ton to the genial LiberatOr Simon Bolivar, whose enligh-
tened thought market, at the beginning OF the 18th.
century, the way to be followed later by the young Ameri-
can nations in search of a collective %wenbeing and hap
pineSs. The illustriOuS statesman Venezuela gave to the
world, was able to dream up and define a lurldlcal ana
political concept of international life which has been an
example for all the countries of the world.
In the same manner, 1t is impossible to refer to
tOmOrrOw'S anniversary without paying homage to all the
eminent citizens of the United States and Latin America
who have been leaders in the Panamericanist movement,
making it succeed in the conscience of all peoples and in
the reality of the international institutions of our continent.
During the last few years, this great day has been
granted the true importance 1t deserves. In all the circles
of OrientatiOn and culture there is a marked and notable
interest in spreading the generous and high minded pur-
poses of PanamericaniSm and its system. In this work Of
enormous Importance, it corresponds to the officials of the
Organization of American States the merit to stimulate
and direct it, with theological sincerity and singular ef-
ficiency.
THE AMERICAS DAILY, in the eve of April IA, reaf-
firms its adhesion to the PanamericaniSt ideal, with the best
wishes that it reflects always, as a beautiful and active
reality, in all the manifestations of the life of the Ameri-
can Republics, responding always to the democratic aspira.
tons and eagernesS for progress of their people.

for Inter American economic de
velopment.
The Secretary General, DR.. 10
Sc A. Mora, made the statements
In a speech on Pan American trade
before the Pan American Commit
tee of this city, in which he said.
among other things:
To-day l would like to speak
about a concrete matter, connected
with the efforts being made by
the Organization of A America n
States to promote Inter American
economic cooperation.
I'm am referring to Inter Amer
lean trade. These are difficult
times in the commercial relations
OF American nations. At one side,
the Latin American countries, in
their capacity of sellers of basic
products, find themselves serious
ly affected by the drops in prices
OF those products and by the re.
duction of international markets,
The United States, on the other
hand, is undergoing a period OF
economic adjustment in which an
economic recession has t a k e n
place, with the result that many
persons are unemployed.
For that reason, protectionist
tendencies are gaining strength in
this country, and that could Sc
riously harm Inter American eco
nomic plans.
"Our development p plans are
based on principles of effective
cooperation for the increase of
international trade, because we
consider that to be the best way
to guarantee common prosperity
and to strengthen the economy OF
the countries of America.
ut has been said, with good
reason, that the best contribution
the United States can make to
the economic and social develop
ment of Latin America is to buy
Latin American products, because
in that manner Latin America will
be able to pay for her purchases
in the United States.
"The people in all the American
Republics should make efforts to
maintain and improve, if possible
year after year, the advantageous
position of our international trade,
Whether we live in the North, in
the Center or in the South OF
America, We should contribute to
the common progress.
Our first contribution should
consist in giving facilities to our
peoples to buy and sell the fruits
of their laborS'.

Pan American Day y

.r ALs.. d Ut -
The anniversary to be celebrat-
ed tomorrow, Pan American Day,
provides an excellent oppDrtu-
nifty to say once more how nee.
essary it is to fully identify the
I~nter-American System with the
realities of democracy in each
and all the Republics of our
continent.
We know it is not an easy task
to rid the system of elements
that have made mere pieces of
fiction of the republican institu:
tions, inasmuch as their opera
ton does not partake of the
ideals stressed by democracy,
which is the essence of those
institutions. Yet, this does NOT
mean that it is exceedingly diff
ficult or impossible to perform
an adequate cleaning job in the
moral policies of the govern
ments that make up the system
in representation of their re-
spective nations. In order that
the Organization of American
States may mirror a faithful
image, in the political field, Of.
continental democracy, it would
suffice with, assuring that. such
representation is, l~egitimately ac-
quired, and not usurped. ,y.
"The Organization of Amert
can States will be what the
American Governments want Il
to be-, said the illustrious ex-,,
president of Colombia, Doctor
Alberto Lleras Camargo, when
departing from his post of Sec
rotary General of the Organiza-
ton. Therefore, it is of extraor-
binary Importance that the quail
ity of the Governments represent
ing their particular States in the
GAS be in an adequate level
with the feelings of liberty of
the people and also with the
way of thinking of the renowned
founders of the ideal OF Pan
Americanism. Otherwise, ths
work Of the Organization would
be limited to a great extent,
especially if it lacks the moral
support. it needs to grow still
deeper roots in the conscience
of America. @
The democratic Governments
should make every effort to find
the way to better the political
condition of the other regimes
fortunately, few in number
so that the GAS may be able
to carry out in full its important
juridical, political, economic, So
cial and cultural mission.
BY making of the GAS an
institution formed by Govern
ments of sound prestige, or At
least governments that respect
the rights of the nations they
must fittingly represent, a big
step will be achieved in the eff
fort to enhance the Inter-Amer-
lean System and to dignity the
way of life of the participating
nations.
