DOCTRINAL ORIENTATION

Democratic leaders who, for some reason, are deposit
tarieS of public trust, have the political and civic duty to
spread their ideas and programs, so that the people may
know why they follow those leaders, and which are the
fundamental reasons of their concern and activities as
citizens.
In this manner, it will be avoided to a great extent
that political activities and movements are concentrated
sympathy and respect that individually he may have for
those leaders, will have something more tranScendental:
the theological program.
Some times it is not Intentionally that the leaders
disregard this aspect of their mission, that is, to define
the position of the party and divulge its political ideas.
But the fact is that, for one or several reasons, there are
peoples who follow with enthusiasm the line drawn by their
leaders, knowing very little which are, in the dOctrinal
field, the reasons for that conduct.
Democracy, in order to function properly, in order to
fulfill its high philosophical mission, must be strengthened
in the conscience of each individual. For that reason,
the citizen affiliated to any party has the right and the
obligation to know what is the real ideal of his group,
what it is looking for, how it is adjusted to his way of
thinking and feeling, etc. And in order to have each
citizen conscious of what his party ideOlOgically represents,
so that he may feel responsible of his conduct within the
political group, he needs a clear explanation from the
leaders on the fundamental purposes of the party.
This campaign of d~ivulgatiOn should be made in a
methOdical manner, adequate for the different intellectual
ficient to have a booklet printed with the Declaration of
Principles, because it is also necessary that those who are
i'm a position to do so, engage in explaining to many simple
people, with sincere and clear words, the meaning of those
Principles.
The more theological understanding there is among
members of a political party, more cohesion will. be achiev-
ed within its ranks, and much better will be the democratic
results among the people in the field of electoral struggles
and in that of establishing civic Attitudes.

WASHINGTON. - Speaking to
newsmen prior to his return to Ar
gentina next week, Ambassador
Maurio L. Yadarola declared his
plan for oil production in Argen-
tina is not against the nationals
tic tendencies existing in his coun-
try.
"The plan is a fundamental
change from the old, discredited
system of concessions and replaces
it by a simple contract for the
lease of services. The oil wells
would continue to be State pro-
perty", he said.
Argentina imports approximate
ly $500 million of petroleum an
nually. # the nation were to pro-
duce enough oil to meet her re-
quirements, this dollar exchange
could be used for the purchase
of machinery with which to in,
crease industrial production and
thus improve the standard of liv-
ing of the people. This dollar ex-
change could also be used to me-
chanize agriculture which is the
economic foundation of the coun-
try, but whose Importance is not
always recognized by those living
in the cities, according to the AM
bassador.
"President-elect DR.. Arturo
Frondizi accepts the collaboration
of private enterprise in the ex-
ploitation of oil. and that is pre-
cisely what l maintain in my Plan,
he continued. Il hope that my
country will become convinced
that through the Plan which | ha-

Worlds Oldest Man
Dies in Colombia

MONTERIA, Colombia. (UP).-
Javier Pereira, who may have
been the worlds oldest man, died
at an estimated age of 1853 Mon
day in this north Colombian cow
town, which he had left only once
in his life.
Pereira fell i'll two weeks ago

pital. He became very weak Sat
urday, and had to be fed intra-

The aged Colombian, a wiry lit
tie man of Indian extraction,

by doctors interested in his ad-
vanced age. U. S. physicians
agreed that he could be more

The text of the letter was re.
vealed at the National Liberal
Convention, formed by the mem.
berS of Congress elected for that
party on the March 16 elections
which gave LleraS complete power
to negotiate with Gomez a formu.
la on the presidential candidate.
Gomez had already received SINH,
lar powers from conservative con,
gresham. Therefore, the two
leaders of the parties acted with
special powers.
Lleras is said to have insisted
with Gomez to write a letter ex-
pressing his wishes that Lleras be
the candidate, when Gomez sug-
gested it. Gomez then wrote the
letter proposing Lleras, with the
condition that the next presiden,
tial term -1962-1966- a conserva-
tive is elected, in accordance with
the bipartisan policies.
Gomez says in his letter that,
in case Lleras, is not accepted,
they can choose from a list in
which al conservative congressman
are included, with ten additional
names. However, political circles
believe that this will not be ne
ceSsary and that political events
will consolidate soon the position
of Lleras as only candidate for the
Presidency of his country.
Lleras revealed at the conven-
ton of his party the contents of
Gomez letter and one in which
he replied to the conservative
leader. In his letter, Lleras says
it is up to the conservatives to
release his party, the Liberal,
from the commitment in which
liberals agreed to vote for a con-
sentative candidate for President.
At the same time, he reaffirmS the
policies of national union, of
which he has been the most in
fluencial leader, and insists in his
desire to retire from public life.
Lleras enjoys immense prestige
both among liberals and conserva-
tiveS and indisputable authority
over the Liberal Party. All po-
litical circles coincide in point
ing out that he is at the summit
of his political career and that he
enjoys the good will and respect
of conservatives, to whom he turn
ed over the Government when his
party lost the Presidential cleo
ton due to a division between Ga
briel Turbay and Jorge Eliecer
Gaitan.
Lleras was President until 1916
and made a Government of ma
tional union, during which the
elections held were praised by both
parties. After that, he was elected
Secretary General of the Orga-
nization of American States, a post
he held until he resigned to re-
turn to Colombia to head the BIZ
partisan movement which ousted
the dictatorship of ex-General Gus
tavo RojaS Pinilla. Both liberals
and conservatives agree that Lie
ras master minded the movement
of resistance to Rojas, and that
he later prepared the country so
that civilians could take part in
the congressional elections
