to the Director, who explained
that Venezuela had very graciously
provided the office space required,
that it had agreed to pay the cost
of the move from Kingston, Jamai-

agreed to make a special annual
contribution of approximately $50,

political and economic factors.
Essentially, it results from the
economic growth of most of the
countries bordering the Caribbean.
But from a. maritime standpoint
it means the Caribbean has spe.
cial attractions in climate, proxi-
nifty to the United States, and
local scenery and "way of life
which suggest an expanding pleas
ure-travel potential.
The Caribbean thus becomes a
persistent rival of the Mediter-
ranean in the evolution of mod
ern pleasure travel.
The regular 12-day cruise itin-
erary of the Santa Rosa, and later
of the Santa Paula, calls for stop
at Curacao, Netherlands West In
dies; La Guaira, Venezuela; Kings
ton, jamaica; Nassau, Bahamas;
and Port Everglades, Fla.
This itinerary suggests some Of
the background factors which are
contributing to the maritime i'm
portance of the Caribbean.
First, La Guaira is port for Ca
racas, capital Of Venezuela, q
country where economic develop
ment has produced a large num-
Der of additional sea = travellers,
both for business and pleasure.
The air1ines have taken the
"lion's share" of such travel to
and from New York in postwar
years. But there is a prospect
that many of these travellers will
now take the opportunity to visit
both Florida and New York on the
same journey.
The call at Port Everglades,
near Fort Lauderdale, thus has
more than casual significance. It
indicates that the Grace Line will
try to tap the vast travel market
of Florida, where tourists come
annually with about 5 hundred
million dollars of spending money.
Many of them want to extend
their vacations 70 overseas ports.

Letters TO the Editor
kidnapping Of U. S. Citizens in Cuba

Dr.. Manuel Lores, prominent
Miami physician, comments on the
Cuban situation as follows:
One, noblely fighting for indi-
idual rights, does wrong in deny
ng others the rights that he claims
or himself.
One wrong is not corrected with
mother wrong. President Eisenho-
YER advises US wisely when he ad-
'ocates a policy of stop and think
md not one of "close your eyes
md charge, as suggested by Sc
lators Knowland and Bridges.
These Senators are asking, in
act, for the repetition of the hor-
'ors of Budapest in Cuba. Such a
colossal blunder would erase the
russian responsibility for the Hun.
!arian massacre: thus making the
Communists extremely happy.
When they referred to the Cuban
'ebelS, fighting tor their freedom

.arelessness in their language, for
ixty years ago, by an act of Con.
gress, American soldiers were or
Tered to, and fought, side by side.
With the ancestors of the "so-cal
ed bandits, and until July l, 1898,

mise is correct, and we, Ameri-
cans, must consider it to be cor
rect, it follows that the rebels,

quire certain rights, as well as
certain obligations.
The rebels have, as their primer
dial responsibility, the obligation
to conduct their fight in accordan-
ce with well recongnized interna-
tional canons, and they have the
right to expect that foreign ma
tons and their nationals will main
tain a neutral status. Our State
Department recongized this right
when it ordered an embargo on
all military equipment to Cuba.
Now, the rebels claim to have
physical, as well as documentary
evidence, that the u. S. and the
English Commonwealth have viola
ted this neutrality, and that the
Cuban government has continued
to receive military aid from both
countries. 1t is imperative, there
fore, that we wait for all the evi.
dence to be appraised before we
start calling names.
Aviation fuels and oils have al
ways been part of any embargo
of war materials. Are American
and British oil companies entitled

Cuba, when they r still supplying

ancient sugar mills to the coast in
primitive boats or in ox-carts of
the most rustic types, it is, at the
same time, one of the most social
ly, culturally and technically ad-
vanced countries in Latin Ameri-
ca.
In aviation, architecture, music,
science, arts and literature, Brazil
has a very important place in the
modern world. Santos Dumont, a
Brazilian, was a pioneer in avia-
ton in being one of the first men,
if not the first, to fly a plane of
his own invention, a feat which
the French have recognized by de-.
dicating a monument in his honor.
Today, commercial aviation is far
more highly developed in Brazil
than in any other part of Latin
America.
Brazil is a pioneer also in mo-
dern functional architecture. Pub.
lie buildings, factories and private
residences, recently built in Sac
Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and other
cities, r considered by foreign
architects to be examples of really
new methods of building and as
happy solutions to a number of
problems modern architects in the
tropics are facing.

From the viewpoint Of artistic
vigor and human significance, Bra.
lillian literature probably is second
to none in Latin America. The
poet Manuel Bandeira is great by
any standards. The same is true
of Machado de Assis a Brazilian
prose writer of the 10th. century
who is today followed by move,
lists such as Jose Lins do Rego,
GracilianO Ramos and Rachel de
Queiroz.
The Brazilian essay, of which AS
sis, Joachim Nabuco, Euclides ds
Cunha, and Ruy Barbosa were also
masters, is considered by foreign
critics as the most original ex
preston of Brazilian literature, fol
it combines philosophical and so
