DEMOCRACY IN ARGENTINA

Vote by vote, in clean, republican elections, Arturo
FrOndizi obtained overwhelming political victory in the
Argentine elections last Sunday.
1t is an honor for the Provisional Government of Ar
gentina presided by General Aramburu, with the support
of the armed forces, to have sponsored the elections which
were an example Of democracy, in which the will of the
majority of the people was the only factor to determine
victory. This is a great honor for the men who assumed
the historical responsibility of restoring democratic life in
the glorious Fatherland Of San Martin, as it is for all Ar
gentineS, who have put to a test, on this tranScendental
occasion, their condition of free citizens.
Some voters, followers of ~ideolOgieS which are not
democratic, as the hybrid which Per6n has tried to define,
and the communist, contributed, according to reports, to
FrOndiZPs victory, who, on the other hand, had the VigOr-
Gus support of a great sector of the democratic Argentine
people. These elements, both PerOniSt and communist,
took advantage of the privileges democracy grants to the
people, to contribute to the election of a candidate that,
for reasons of national politics, was very far from their
purposes.
FrOndizi, no doubt, will respond to the high democratic
mission that corresponds to him in these historic moments
of the Republic, and will govern in accordance with the
mandates of democracy, under the shade of which he won
the elections. With an evidently clarifying intention, the
President-elect issued this tranScendental statement: 81
have no commitments with anybody, and will govern only
for the twenty million ArgentineS." These words are a
magnificent promise for his Fatherland and for the prestige
of America.

FOUR MILLION REGISTER
FOR MEXICAN ELECTIONS

MEXICO CITY. (UP). - APP
proximately four million persons
have registered throughout Mexi-
co to vote in next July's general
elections, officials of the Electo-
raj, Commission said.
An estimated five million are
expected to have registered by the
end of the week, officials said.
The final registration day had
been set for Feb. IS, but in view
of the slowness of potential voters
to go to their registration places,
the date was extended until the
next meeting of the Federal Elec-
toral Commission. No date has
been fixed for that meeting.
Earlier estimates said that ap-
proximately IL, 100000 p RS on $
would register to vote in the forth
coming elections.
All political parties, labor un-
ions, newspapers and civic organi.
cations are making constant ap.
peals to potential voters to register
in order to be able to exercise the
right to vote. But it is believed
unlikely that the 12,000,000 figure
will be reached.

Secretary Of State John Foster
Dulles has warned Congress that
the present Russian economic Of
fensiYe constitutes a greater dam
ger for the security of the free
world, than her increasing military
power.
Specifically stating that the dan
ger of a Soviet economic penetra-
ton in Latin America seriously"
concerns the United States, Dulles
called on Congress to counteract
the Russian offensive with a grea-
ter liberalization of international
trade, granting the extension of
the Reciprocal Trade Act request
ed by President Eisenhower.
Testifying before the House
Ways and Means Committee, which
is in its second week of discussion
of the Reciprocal Trade Act, to
extend it for five years and per-
hitting reduction of tariffs dur
ing that period, Dulles said that
if the Russians do not agree upon
the conditions for a summit con-
ference demanded by the Presi-
dent, results will be doubtful,
a word he is believed to have used
in order not to say categorically
that there will be no conference.
After insisting in the danger of
the Soviet economic offensive, the
Secretary said refusal by Congress
to extend the Reciprocal Trade
Act would set the clock back
and would endanger our republic,
and each and every one of the
persons living in it,.
The only way, he added, is that
Congress extends and reinforces
the program of liberalization of
world trade to prevent allied coun-
tries from being forced to depend
economically on the potential
enemy.

Department was Cuba, in the year
1909. In 1949, the department be-
came the Ministry of Public
Health and Social Welfare, and it
has supervision over 10 hospitals
caring for more than 10000 pa
tients, as well as numerous dis
pensaries. The budget of the Min
iStry is we'll in excess of SIT, 000,-
900.
Among the many outstanding
achievements in public health in
Cuba are the eradication of the yell
low fever plague. as a result of the
discovery by Cuban scientist Car
los Finally of its transmission
through a MOSQUITO, and also the
elimination of small pox. Cholera
has not been present on the Is
land for about d century, and ty-
plus fever has only been identi-
fled in very few cases in the in
terror In recent years. Because the
regulation requiring reporting of
communicable diseases is not al
ways observed, it is difficult to
determine accurately the incid-
ence of diphteria, but the death
rate for this cause is very low,
and the Island has never had a
serious epidemic of this disease,
Malaria once one of the greatest
causes of death, especially in the
Provinces of Oriente, Camagiiey
and Pinar del Rio, has dropped
considerably as the result of effec-
tive work to combat it that has
been carried on. and continues to
be carried on. In many areas the
disease has been controlled COM
pletely, and Havana proper, for
example, is relatively free from
it.
The National tuberculosis Coun.
ell has established many tuberculo-
sis dispensaries sanatoriumS and
hospitals throughout the Republic,
and carries on extensive education
al work. A special School of Pub
lie Health and Tropical Medicine
operates under the Finlay Institu-
tie, named in honor of the Cuban
scientist to whom the whole world
is indebted for the correct theory
on the transmission of yellow few
er.
Two important health institu.
tons are the National Institute of
Hygiene and the Children's Bu-
reau, in the Ministry of Public
Health. The former serves as a
