US. radio "HAM" operators in

New Jersey to New Orleans had

tractor and fellow ham operator
from Tucson, Ariz., who in turn
contacted Hams all the way to
New England asking them to check

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. (UP).
The Latin American ambassadors
started a new movement with the
purpose to strengthen their friend
ship bonds with the rest of the
world in general and with the
United States in particular.
The Latin American ambassa-
doris before the Government of
the United States and the dele
gates to Organization of American
States (OAS) the gathered in pri-
vate and decided to meet once a
month from now on to freely dis
cuss the problems their countries
are facing.
This is the first time the aCcre-
dited diplomatics before the White
House have gathered together
with the OAS' delegates in order
to have an ample discussion.
The idea to meet regularly was
adopted in a dinner at the Metro
politan Club in which repreS-
entatives of IS countries we're
present, John C. Dreir, head of
the U. S. delegation to the GAS,
among them. Representatives of
Costa Rica, Guatemala and Vene-
zuela were the, only absentees.
The United Press learned that
one of the most important points
of these meetings was to agree
on a plan of action for important
problems, as for example, to obtain
greater economic aid from the
United States, the partial diSar-
mament of Latin America and the
relations between GAS and other
international organizations.
This idea to celebrate these
monthly meetings was proposed by
Jose Gutierrez Gomez, Colombian
Ambassador and Jose R. Chiriboga
Ambassador Of Ecuador.
Both, together with Luis Quin-
tanilla, from Mexico, President of
the GAS, were appointed organi-
zers of these monthly meetings
which will take place at any res
taurant.

sistant Secretary of State in Inter

ment that the selling price for the
Hershey properties is not a proper
one. "a company unknown to the
sugar industry" they declare, lis
permitted to purchase a vast en-
terprise for approximately 20 per
cent down payment, and this 20
per cent is more than covered by
the quick assets of the companies
acquired by the buyer"
Net current assets of the Her
shey properties, they estimate, are
SIC, 300,0 900 not including an es-
timated 100000 more advanced
on the crop now being harvested.
In other words, they state the
net sales prices is really only $12,-
$4,000. "IF we consider that the
buyer receives Hershey lands con-
servatively worth, in our opinion,
between $12, DOC, 900 and $15,00O,-

without charge or for free"
For free, the resigning directors
stated, the buyer gets ''three fine
sugar mills. He gets the largest re-
finery in Cuba. He gets the pro-
fits of the new crop now being
harvested. He gets a railroad to
Havana, a railroad to Matanzas, a
peanut plant, a sisal plant, an i'm

of other tangible and intangible
assets. He gets free a group of
physical properties which could not
be replaced for less than $25, O0,-

which do not appear on the ba-
lance sheet, it was further stated,
include Hersheys 100, 900 ton refin-
ed sugar quota, which is Is per
cent of the total Cuban refined
sugar quota for the United States.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 (UP)-
Ecuadorean Ambassador Jose r.
Chiriboga, declared that the deci-
sion of the us. Government to
put an end to the monopoly of
the United Fruit Company us A
HOPE THAT THE REIGN OF
Fruit over the problem of bananas
is beginning to decline"
The us. Government reached an
accord with United Fruit, by which
it will stop judicial proceedings
started four years ago against the
company for monopoly, and the
United Fruit in exchange agreed
to allow competition from an
other company before 1866.
Chiriboga commented the agree
ment as follows:
Ecuador sees with satisfaction
any measure tending to end COM
mercial monopolieS. The agrfee-
ment is a hope that the reign of
the United Fruit over the problem
of bananas is beginning to decline.
Unfortunately, a competitor
with only the right to import 9
million punches of bananas a year
is a weak competitor, because Lat
in American production exceeds
so million punches a wear.
Ecuador alone produces q mil
lion punches and we hope to con-
tinue increasing that production.
ut is to be hoped that the new
competitor to be born before 1866
is not an illegitimate son of the
United Fruit who will follow a po-
licy of complacency toward the
mother, because in that case the
agreement would be only a new
disappointment"
