FL Salvador Govt. Makes
Strong Re representation to
Managua on Asylum Right
INSISTS ON SAFECONDUCT FOR TWO.
OFFICERS IN ASYLUM AT EMBASSY

SAN SALVADOR, March IL
Especial to THE AMERICAS
DAILY The Government of the
Republic of Ell Salvador, in view
of the refusal of the Nicaraguar
Government in connection with s
request OF safeconduct for two
young Army officers who tool
asylum in the Embassy of Ell Sal
vador in Managua, has sent ms
tructions to the Chief of its Mis-
sion in the Nicaraguan capital, Col
onel Parada, to insist with the
Ministry of Foreign Relations, in
a categorical manner, and in &C
eordance with the international
Conventions on the Right Of
Asylum.
The attitude of the Managua re.
gime, in refusing to grant the safe
conduct for Captain Rivas Gomez
and Lieutenant Ali Solomon, who
escaped from Campo de Marie
in Managua, after they were con.
victed by a Military Court, under
accusations of conspiracy against
the Government, has caused sur
prise in official and diplomatic cir
cles in Ell Salvador, and indigna,
ton in those sectors closely iden'
titled with the Nicaraguan people
Officers Rivas Gomez and Solomon
have been in asylum at the Embas,
sy for more than two months.
The asylum of the two officers
has been troublesome for the Sal
vadorean Embassy in Managua, be-
cause of very strange threats and
unexplainable condolences within
the type of regime governing Nj
caragua. When Suspicios visits by
Police agents were repeated at the
Embassy and the building was the
target of gunshots from an auto
mobile. Ambassador Parada had
to make a formal complaint before

to Cut Import Of

I'm other words, Koning said.
more than one fourth of the
American exports to Peru were
paid with the exports of lead and
zinc to U. S.
Referring to Bolivia and Me
xico, the figures were, respectively
20 and 10 per cent"
He affirmed that every Amer
lean exporter should consider
these figures, II dare say" he ad,
ded, 'there is no American State
that has not participated in the
export to one or more of those
countries"
Cerro de Pasco, American COM
pany registered in New York, is
engaged in great metal business
in U. S., and is the chief producer
of lead and zinc and other non
ferrous metals, in Peru, where its
operations have a great effect in
the economy of that country, as it
has the only foundry and refinery
of these metals.
Koning repeated that for years
the lead and zinc prices had fluc-
tuated fully, which is normal with
the raw material prices, referring
to the case of these metals to de-
monstrate the completely of tariffs.
He furthre said that the tariffs
and other factors are responsible
for the fluctuation in the prices
of lead and zinc. "As these fluct.
uations are no steady" he added,
"it is important that the solution
to tariff problem for long periods
must not have their base in fluct-
uating situations"
He declared that the increase in
the tariffs would mean an increase
both for the American consumer
and exporter of about $50, OO0, DOC
a year.
Regarding the future of those
meals he stressed two main factors;
it is impossible in the U. S. to
mine, to any reasonable price
enough of those metals to attend
the demand of the country, anc
the demand of those metals, as il
happens with all raw materials
tends to increase.
Koning concluded:
Whatever the situation may be
we need lead, zinc, copper, man
ganese, rubber, tin, and many othel
imported products. We will neee
them always. l belive the Com
mittee must study the Legislation
under its consideration to deter
mine whether the Tariff Commit
tee must be given some instruc
tons to the effect that it does no
need to recommend restrictions il

The Right of Asylum has always

Salvadorean Government is acting

Martial law IN Cuba


Month and a half after the
restoration of constitutional
guarantees in Cuba, the Presi-
dent of the Republic, in a Cab.
met meeting, has just redecreed
the Stage of Siege in the country,
which implies the suspension of
all individual liberties, including
that of freedom of the press.
Without commenting on the
circumstances that determined
this move on the part of the
Government, it is timely to point
out once more the existence of
an extremely serious political
situation that the Government
could not control within the nor
NAL procedures of constitutional
life.
The sporadic suspension of in.
dividual rights does not neces-
sarily prove the existence of an
irreconcilable disagreement be-
tween the Government and the
people, or with some sectors of
the population, because certain
things could perfectly happen
that, without reaching such pro.
portions, would leave no al
tentative than the imposition of
such an extreme measure for q
prudential period of time. How
ever, in the case of Cuba, it
seems now that the normal thing
is the State of Siege, because the
last time it was in force it lasted
for over six months, and during
the duration of the present re-
gime more than once this ex-
IRENE measure has been adopted.
For the Cuban President and
those sharing with him the re.
sponsibilities of the Administers
ton, the necessity to recourse to
the State of Siege must indeed
be a hard step, as it provides
proof of the serious crisis revolv-
ing, precisely, around a Govern
ment without enough popular
support to stay in Power through
the normal channels of the insti-
tutional and democratic way of
life.
The inclusion of the censor.
ship of the press in the suspen.
sion of constitutional rights is a
new blow, suffered by the Cuban
newspapers and, it is also a blow
to the Cuban citizen, who by
temperament and political con-
seriousness is so used to follow
closely the events that take place
in the Republic.
Whenever a Government is
forced to suspend constitutional
guarantees so often, it turns diff
ficult to maintain its stability,
even if such suspension grants
omnipotent powers. But it hap
pens that the permanence of a
regime does not rest solely on
those powers 80.

Haiti Attracting Tourists 10

PORT AU PRINCE (UP)- A

Is discovering Haiti, the little Re-
public on the western third of the

English called Hispaniola.
Six years ago Haiti had 1910
casual visitors; last year Their were
$4,000 Now the government has
appointed a secretary of state for
tourism appropriated 100000 for
his use and hopes this year to at
tract 100000 tourists.
The realization by President
Francois Duvaller, who took Of
flee last October, and his ministers,
that domestic tranquility is essen
tiai to win tourists in numbers, is
an added motive in the effort Of
this government to preserve a sta
BILE regime. The number of visitors
was down last year from a high of
10000 because OF political turmoil
Minister of Tourism Jean A. Ma
gloire predicted that tourism
can in time take first place in the
country's economy, a position now
held by the coffee trade.

can and French Haitians speak a

HOTEL, PLANE PLANS
Parts of PORT au Prince seem
like bits of Paris transported to
the tropics. All of the hotels ex-
cept two are private homes, some
OF them mansions. Nearly all are
in the cool hills above the city.
Six hours drive by car from ort
au Prince, or 40 minutes by plane,
on the north coast of Halt, is Cap
Haitien, whose surrounding plan
tations at one time supplied half
of Europe with its sugar and CO.

butt by the salses of King Chris
topne as a defense against Napo-
leon. Here, too Columbus's flag
ship the Santa Maria was wrecked

There are talks in progress be-
tween the Haitian government and
an American syndicate looking to
at Cap Haitien and opening up
the building of d $40, 000, 900 hotel
this area for increased tourist use.
Also according to President Du-
