Declares, While
Deep Regret"

The Peruvian Charge d'Affaires
in Washington, Minister Miguel
Grau, paid a formal visit to the
State Department this morning, to
express the deep regret" of his
Government.
White said that, at the same
time, the U. S. Ambassador in Pc.
ri, went to the Foreign Office in
Lima this morning, to discuss the
incident.
He stressed the fact that the
Ambassador has no instructions to
present and official protest to the
Peruvian Government. He added
that Ambassador Achilles was at
the site of the incidents, and that
he fully realized who had inspired
te outburstS of violence.
Meanwhile, Grau issued the fol.
lowing statement: American pub
lie opinion may rest assured that
this unfortunate incident is not
a reflection of the Peruvian feel
ings and the noble cause for which
it fights, which the Peruvian gov
eminent and its people, except the
small communist party, r fully
identified.
f"This small communist group,
although insignificant has been
very active\in its subversive cam.
paign, no doubt it was led from
abroad to provoke this deplorable
incident, with the main purpose
to break the traditional excellent
relations between PERU and the
United States of America, and 10
create an international as well as
a local problem. These foreign
leaders chose one of the best
friends Of the United States OF
America: PERU.
"By expressing my deepest re-
greet for this deplorable incident,
/ am interpreting the true feelings
Of my government and the Peru
Wan people. And I feel completely
sure this will move us to continue
our fight against the communist
infiltration with all our determi-
nation and might. This will be our
most worthy contribution to the
security Of the Western Henri
sphere and to the rest Of the
world who stand for freedom.

British Minister Reassvres Latins
Regarding European Common Market

RIO DE JANEIRO, CUP. - Sir
David Ecles, British Minister of
Trade, said that the fear the Latin
Americans have for the European
common market is very exaggerat-
ed but he admitted that the pre-
fenrential tariff of 1879 to be ap-
piled to the African coffee gro
werS constitutes a menace" for
Latin American growers.
Sir David added, however, that
the common market will raise in
the long u the standard living of
the countries forming it, which
will enable them to increase their
imports of Latin American pro-
Outs.
The Minister came here to pro-
mote commercial relations be-
tween Brazil and Great Britain.
He said that Great Britain can
now return to the Latin America
market, from which she was cult
off, because of the requirements
she had to meet in the reconstruc-
ton in the post war.
He said he. did not think that
the British colonies growing coffee
may Join in the International Cot
fee Organization.
IF they are selling so much cof-
fee now, why are they going to
join an organization that restricts
. the sales?"
Eccles recalled that the British
colonies do not form a part of the
European common market and
that the menace" will only come
from the French coffee growing
colonies.
The Minister sad too, wishes to
buy and sell at a price of trading
system, which Brazil practised re-
Gently when it agreed with Poland
to trade coffee for IA freighters.
The reason for the British pre-
ference, he explained, lies in that
in this way we can "spend as we
like the money we make.

ic coughs. Cataracts blind the eyes and deafness may result from un- treated ear-infections.
 But, says Dr. Barton, there are many ways to keep dogs active and healthy past their middle years. Substituting milk and eggs for part of the animal-protein in the diet will relieve the strain on tired kidneys. Hormones such as Sterane, usually relieve arthritic conditions. In small doses these powerful drugs are fine tonic for senior canines.
 Vitamins and good nourish- ment are never more important than in the later years. Illness and infection should be treated promptly. Inspection and treat ment of minor ear infections may prevent deafness.
 Clean skin, bathing and groom ing, are most essential. Teeth too should be kept clean. Any loose teeth should be removed.
 And, say the veterinarians, plen- ty of love from a dogs best friend may still be the best medicine you can give him.
