LATIN AMERICAN SOLIDARITY

Every time there is an opportunity, the people of the
latin American countries show the spirit of solidarity
which unlteS them, very closely, and brings them together,
both IN victory or in misfortune.
In the field of international relations, world countries
always take this fact into consideration, of that kind of
spiritual unity, so to speak, in order to coordinate better
their official acts in connection with any of the Latin Amer.
lean nations, in particular in all that which, for one reason
or another, may have special tranScendence or may hurt
or please, according to the case, all the other peoples of the
same origin.
Any gesture of c~Ordialty or ScOrn in the part of a
or to any of their representative figures, has, of necessity,
the great Latin American family. The nature of such
it may have.
Those who carefully analize Latin American political
affairs, should study this matter as a joint question, even
though, OF course, there are exceptional cases according to
special characteristics of determined countries. And par.
ticularly in the economic field, problems must be cOnSi.
dered jointly, because of the close interdependence be-
tween the Latin American countries, which is greater than
that normally existing among all the peoples of the world,
speaking in international terms.
Fortunately for Latin America and for the United
States, as well as for the other world Powers, that parti.
cuar spirit of solidarity, which does not affect at all the
spirit of Inter American solidarity in general, does not
represent a discrimination against any people, nor a
weakening of the Latin American contribution to the cause
of world cOexiStence, so dear to the ideals of the most
brilliant thinkers of Latin America. This feeling is a
characteristic, an spiritual reality, which uniteS even more
the peoples who were born together to civilization and
culture.

Fucio TO Request
Action on Plan
for Disarmament

WASHINGTON. (UP). = Costa
Rican Ambassador Gonzalo Facio
revealed that he will make efforts
tending to have the Organization
of American States (OAS) consi-
der, as soon as possible, his plan
for disarmament of Latin Amer
lea.
The diplomat announced that he
will ask the GAS Council Chair
man, Eduardo Garcia, of Argen-
tina, to fix a date for debate of
the plan, in early March.
The announcement ended specu-
lation here that Facio had aban-
doned his controversial plan, after
the defeat of the Government of
President Jose Figures in recent
Costa Rican elections.
Facio expressed the hope that
the Conservative Party of Presi-
dent-elect Mario Echandi, will sup
port the plan, in view of the fact
that he is opposed, as Figueres'
Government is, to military expen-
ditureS.

Chile to Request

Identification

SANTIAGO, Feb. II. (UP). -
The Chilean State Railways will
meet a Czechoslovakian mission in
order to obtain acceptable financ-
ing for electrification work, as the
International Bank has denied a
loan of $25, O00, 900.
Fernando Cruchaga, Director of

and H. G.. Carlson, officials of the

tigate economic and financial con-
ditions of the country to determine
about the loans used for its eco
nomic development.
Reliable sources informed that
these officials meant that a credit
of $25, OO0, 600 approved in princi-
pie, would not be awarded to the
railroads.
The Company had signed a con-
tract for $21, 700 900 with the TIA
lian group Azende to supply Sc
locomotives and equipment for the
identification and hoped to finan-
ce this contract with loans from
the international Bank.
The officials of the Crediet ms
titution in Washington said Chile
was using great amount in foreign
exchange in spite Of the extraor-
binary downfall of copper price
in world market, which last year
caused a deficit of $50, 100000 or
the amount Originally estimated as
income.
They also informed the country
should endevour to realize greater
sacrifices ab%staining to make UNI
necessary imports, if finance Gre

Chilean officials, through au-
thorized sources, said the imports
are we'll controlled and that it is

which are indispensable for the

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. = Sen
ator George Smathers (D.-Fla.) in
a speech prepared for delivery tc
the Senate, called on the United
Safes to offer "bold, responsible
leadership" to Latin America.
He said such a program, coupled
with effective economic assistance
will combat strong Soviet efforts
to penetrate the economic and DO.
litical life of Latin American ma.
lions.
He reported that growing demo
cratic trends in Latin America
have been greatly strengthened by
recent events, such as the election
in Costa RIGA and Guatemala. Such
promising developments demand
enlightened leadership for the
whole of Latin America on the
part of the United States, if the
trend is to grow further:
He warned:
"In recent years, the United
States has not provided the quality
Of leadership necessary to produce
the maximum mutual benefits to
US and our Latin American friends.
"Our Latin American neighbors
look to us for leadership in solving
the many problems which confront
them today. These are problems
in our own backyard. They are
the problems of our nearest
friends,
"In assisting the Latin Ameri-
can Republics in the solution of
their problems it is vital that we
replace leadership characterized
by complacency and indifference
with leadership characterized by
boldness, courage and positive
constructive action. In short, res
ponsible leadership.
The Florida Senator also point
ed to the impressive economic
gains made in Hemisphere Repu-
blicS in recent years, but caution
ed that such figures were, in part,
the reflection of economic growth
from a primitive economy to the
first stage Of fully matured eco
nomy.
Pent-up demand for higher
standards of living in nations to
the south of us is now being felt,

perative that enlightened assist
ance plans be put into effect by

Argentine Cow. Calling for
Bids for Building Of Canal

WASHINGTON, D. C. (PAU) -
The Argentine Government will
call for bids this month for the
construction, maintenance, and
operation of two canals estimated
to cost 500, 600, 000.
One canal, paralleling the Der.
mejo River, will extend from the
Oran oil fields in Salta Province t.
the Parana River port of Barran
ras, a distance of $50 miles.
The second canal, 600 miles in
length, will connect Oran with the
Parana River at a pont near Santa
Fe City.
The Bermejo is a tributary of the
Parana and empties eventually in.
to the Rio de la Plata. 1t is of in.
ternational importance since it is
formed by the junction of the Up.
per Bermejo and Traija Rivers,
which mark the frontier between
Argentina and Bolivia.
Converting this river into a navi.
gable waterway by means of a can.
al would increase its usefulness al.
so as a source of irrigation for
farmlands and for electric energy
for towns along the canals route.
The Argentine Government will
also call for bids this month on a
concession for the construction and
operation of a traffic tunnel under
the Parana River between the ci-
ties of Santa Fe and Parana.
The tunnel more than a mile long
and running so feet under the wat
er level is estimated to take three
years to complete. Its cost is plac.
ed at about SIG, 600.
Preliminary details indicate that
the contract for the tunnel win be
granted on the basis of a 3O-year
time limit, with the entire cost to
be borne by the concessionaire,
who will be authorized to collect
traffic tolls. At the end Of the
30-year period, the tunnel and its
complementary works are to be-
come the property of the State.
