LONDON, Aug. 6 CUPID = The
communist diplomatic offensive
has been officially and formally
extended from the Near East to
Latin America, and therefore, the
war of propaganda is taking place
in the United States own back
yard
The extension of the offensive
is the result of a decision taken
jointly by the Kremlin and the
communist regime of Pekin, during
the secret conversations of three
days between the Soviet Premier,
Nikita KhruscheV, ami the head Of
Communist China, Mao Use -Tung.
What can be expected now is a
large scale propaganda offensive
in the Latin American nations,
with the United States as the main
target of attack.
Forty eight hours after the deci-
sion of Pekin, the communists
opened fire with an attack against
the enslaving police" action, which
the United States presumably
develops in Latin America.
The decision of the Red Bloc is
seen in the join ChinoSoviet
cOmmunique issued in Pekin Sun
day, at the end of the secret deli
beratiOnS of Mao and K%hruschev.
Communist China and the Soviet
Union agreed formally there and

The new President should deve.

.vative, Guillermo Leon Valencia,
and opposed Laureano Gomez's
leadership in the party. The in
creas or decrease of this opposi-
ton will naturally depend upon
the action that Lleras takes and
the complex economic and social
problems which face the country
which has lived through an abnor-
NAL era for the last IL years.
The national Cancellation pro.
gram is based on the fact that
the two main Colombian parties
the Liberal and the Conseryati.
We will share the responsible.
ties of the government in two
branches; the executive and legis-
lative. The judicial branch will
be completely seperate from the
other two branches in order to
achieve absolute independence for
justice.
Meanwhile, the Is month old Mi
litary Junta government will end
tomorrow. 1t Dissolved the main
instruments of power held by the
dictatorial government of ex-Gen-
eral Gustavo Rojas Pinilla for
three years and restored various
institutions whose functions had
been weakened during the last de.
cade in Colombia.
The four generals and the Rear
Admiral who made up the Military
Junta managed, since last May, to
cOnvoke two elections in the coun.
try and a plebiscite, and re-esta.
blish the freedom of the press
which, in Rojas' opinion, could not
be carried out without throwing
the country into a bloody chaos.
These acts brought about a mar.
gin of confidence in the members
of the Military Junta whose rise
to power was viewed with open
misgiving by some sectors. For
others, the results of the work of
the Military Junta was the pro-
duct OF united efforts, through the
good will Of the members of the
Junta and the support which the
parties offered to the program as
soon as the Junta announced it.

The Kicafaguan people
United

AS an indisputable proof Of
what union of the people means,
when they decide to stand up
to the errors or abuses of the
Government, one may mention
the example recently given by
the Nicaraguan people, when
employers and workers coordi-
mated their efforts, in order to
openly oppose the large contri-
buttons for Social Security impe.
Sed on both.
During many months the Exc.
cutiye, which in that country Is
everything, paid no attention to
the just claims of workers and
employers, regarding requests
that the contributions for Social
Security be lowered to half. In
the press and on the radio the
matter was debated, and the ar
guments presented by sensible
persons of the country were lost
against the intransigence of the
all powerful Executive, who is
not used to listening to the peo-
pie, and much less to interpret
their wishes.
Before the rigid attitude of the
Government, and before the i'm
minent threat of large contribu.
tons which, under the conditions
the country is administered, are
really new taxes, it was necessary
for workers and employers to or-
ganize and coordinate the de-
Tense of their interests, and to
stand up to the official within.
Regardless of the kind of gov
eminent existing in Nicaragua,
which is well known in America,
the people began to protect their
rights, and, with a spirit of civic
and social responsibility, orga.
nized a general strike, which was
SO well planned and supported
that the regime was obliged to
accommodate to the wishes of the
country, before the protest could
be carried out.
This event was of great signifi-
canoe to the people of Nicara.
qua, because they have learned
that their rights can be defended
and respected, if all citizens
coordinate their efforts to do so,
making use of civil recourse IN
the demand for their recovery.
70 change the opinion of q
democratic government is easy,
but, to alter the determination
of a regime such as that enthron-
ed in Managua over several de-
cades is another thing. For this
reason the people of Nicaragua
have now learned to recognize
the capacity of their civil force,
when it is used In a collective
and serious action.

r POWER SYSTEM
FOR CHILE

WASHINGTON. - Empresa Ma
cional de E cid I'd, S. A.
(ENDESA), of Chile, a semi-autO-
nomous Government utility, is cur
rently working on plans which
foresee the development of an in
terconnected electrical power sys-
TEN from Copiapo to Puerto Mont
before 1872.
Studies show that such develop
ments would cost about 264 billion
pesos, the equivalent of US$360
million, plus US$158 million, of
which approximately A billion Pc
SOS and USS 81 million would be
invested by 1851.
Besides these installa ii on S,
ENDESA plans to invest before
1872 approximately 10 billion pesos
plus US$12 million in electrical
installations in other Chilean
areas.
New installations tentative plan
ned for completion by 1851
througho t Chile would provide a
total generating capacity of 10000
kilowatts for private industry; $50
600 kilOwatts for Cia. Chilena de
Electricidad, an American and For
eign Power Co. subsidiary; and
205, 800 kilOwatts for ENDESA.
ENDESA expects that the inter,
connected electrical power system
between Santiago and Temuco will
suffer a deficit of approximately
10000 kilowatts this winter, and
that the gap between supply and
demand will widen during the next
two winters. The plants now under
construction at Isla and Pullinque
will be finished before the winter
of 1861, and will considerably i'm
prove the situation.

ANTI-U. S. FLAMES
IN LATIN

TOKYO, Aug. 6 (UPD-A semi
official Peiping newspaper today
continued Red China's bitter attack
on United States policies in Latin
America by declaring that "Anti-
American flames are burning every
where in Latin America"
The communist-run Kwangming
Daily, commenting on U. S. Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dulles
visit to Latin America, added:
"The tide of national indepen-
dence will not be checked by
Dulles and his kind. No matter
where they go Dulles and his ilk
will be received by firsts and
curses"
This was the third editorial
attack in two days by the main
lands strictly supervised press.
Tuesday the Peiping Peoples
Daily, official organ of the COM
muniSt regime, and the semi
official Ia Kung Pao lashed out
at the U. S. for exploitation" and
~"subversion" of Latin America.
They charged the U. S. with
fostering armed coups in Haiti and
Venezuela and attempting armed
intervention in Cuba.
The Kwangming Daily, in lam
guage strikingly similar to that
used in Tuesdays editorials, said
Latin America has been regarded
by the Wall Street bosses as their

ut has been exploited and con-
trolled by them. But the struggle
against oppression and enslave-
ment by u. S. imperialism is

Know thy

BY ANTONIO RUIZ

VENEZUELA. - Although We
nezuela is best known as an oil
producing country first exporter
of the black gold in the world and
second only to the United States
in its production the fantastic
mineral wealth of that South Anne
rican country includes also dia-
mondS, gold, radio active minerals,
pirites, asbestos, coal, iron ore, and
many others in which exploitation
has not ever been started.
Most important for Venezuelan
economy at this moment. after pc
troleum, is iron, the exploitation
of which has a long history in We
nezuela. During colonial times, the
Spaniards, using the most print
tive methods, engaged in the ex-
ploitation OF the mineral. Engi-
neers Of the Orinoco Mining Com
pany have found during their ex-
plorations the ruins of an ancient
Spanish furnace, perhaps the first
one of its kind established in the
New World, at a short distance
from Ciudad Bolivar. In 1877,
George Turnball obtained a conces-
sion to exploit iron, but no actual
exploitation resulted from it. How
ever, IA years later, TOO tons of
iron ore were exported to Balti-
more, and more than 10000 be-
tween 1911 and 1918. For several
reasons exploitation resulted ex
tremely costly and, therefore, was
abandoned.
The next effort started when, in
1925, rich deposits were discovered
in Ell Pao, Bolivar State, which to-
day are exploited by the Iron Min
ing Company. In 1889, high quality
ore deposits were discovered at
La Represalia, south of the Orinoco
River. In 1915, the oliver Iron
Mining, today Orinoco Mining Com
pany, carried on extensive explora-
ton work without any visible re-
suits, but later it filed a claim on
the discovery of high grade ore
deposits at CerrO Bolivar, in 1947.
1t is one of the largest ore depo:
sits in the world, as well as one
of the richest in quality, since the
percentage of mineral is so high
that it sometimes reaches SO per
cent.
The task of exploiting and bring
ing out the mineral from the isolat-
ed jungle in which it is located
has been a gigantic one, which in
cluded construction of railroads,
towns, dredging of the Orinoco, and
construction of adequate ports on
that River, with the expense of
millions of dollars even before the
first ton of mineral was taken out.
The first shipment abroad was
made in 1854, and today explolta-
ton is going on with considerable
success and great profits for the
companies. From 1879 900 metric
tons of iron ore production in We
nezuela in 1850, it went up to
1888, 1888 in 1854, including the ex-
ports from Cerro Bolivar, and in
1855 the total was 8,439,450.
Puerto Ordaz and Ciudad Piar,
both founded as a result of the
demands of the exploitation of iron
mines, are today prosperous cities
of Bolivar State, and with pro-
spects Of great progress, since ac-
cording to the results Of explora-
tons, there are at least 1900 mil
lion metric tons of deposits Of the
mineral in that region. Continued
tomorrow.
