THE PRESS AND THE GOVERNMENT

The day after his Inauguration as President of Hon
duTaS, DR.. Ramon Villeda Morales held q press conference,
and when newSpapermen asked him in which way the press
could cooperate with his Government, the HOnduran Chief
Executive and Central American statesman, In q quick and
sincere answer, said the following: Telling always the
truth, adding that he, as a democrat, recognizes the
right to freedom of the press and the Importance it has as q
source of OrientatiOn for the Government.
Within adequate republican climate, the press truly
can, and must, accomplish a high mission of 0rientatiOn
and d%ivulgatiOn of all that which is of national and interna-
tiOnal interest, for the benefit of those in the Government
and for the community in general. .
President Villeda Morales, during his political Strug'
giles OF popular origin, always has taken advantage of the
press to campaign in favor of his dynamic party, the Libe.
raj, and now, according to his own words, as Chief Execu'
tive, he will continue taking advantage of press agencies
to learn about the way of thinking and the feelings Of
administrative task. HOnduran newspapermen, both those
who are in favor of the Government and those in the Op-
position, are, therefore, to certain extent, cOllabOratOrS
with the Government. The free play of democracy de-
termineS this fact of the greatest political and social
Importance.
A respOnsibles press, with a healthy, patriotic inspira.
ton, always fulfiHs q high and noble mission within socie-
ty, because, being responsible and well mentioned, Its
task necessarily must be of healthy results In the field of

Ideals and norms which give life to the Republic.
Because of that function of the press, the Inter Amer.

Costa Rican Civic Integrity

1t is no secret that the pres
ent Ambassador Of Costa RIGA
in Washington, Gonzalo Facio,
is a political and personal friend
of President Figures. 1t is
no secret either that between
President Figures and Presi-
dent Elect Mario Echandi there
are serious political differences
that place them in opposite sides
as friendly ~adversaries. AS is
known, Echandi was the opposi-
ton candidate who resulted vic
torious in honest elections pre-
sided by Figures.
And, now that Mr.. Echandi
has visited Washington, Ambas-
sador Facio who figures prom
inently in Figures Party
stayed in his post to be in the
Capital for the arrival there of
the President Elect, his politi-
cal adversary, and to Fender
him the social and official re-
spects due to his hierarchy.
Facio could have left Wash
ington under any excuse, del
egating on his Charge DAT
flares to receive Echandi in his
absence. But, as one more proof
Of the republican integrity and
the established patriotism of
the Costa Ricans, he stayed to
fulfill his duty as Ambassador
of the Republic. Facio's attitude
cannot be attributed to any
other reason, because his civic
prestige is well established in
Costa Rica and in America, for
his theological honesty and his
correctness. Therefore, nothing
else but patriotic and civic rea-
sons, besides his sense of adj
ministrative responsibility, de-
termined his conduct.
1t was a beautiful gesture,
yet it was no surprise to those
who know of the usual Costa
Rican cordially, and of the
concept maintained by them as
regards politics and republi-
caniSm.
For the Costa Rican, this is
the normal thing in the develop
ment of their national life.
Generally speaking, the Costa
Riean is politically passionate
only in defending his ideals,
and once this feeling has ac-
complished its mission, it disap-
pears. Only the sense of human
cordially and of respect to the
institutions of the Republic is
permanent in the Fatherland of
Juan Santamaria. Within the
free practice Of democracy, the
Costa Rican postpones all party
interests at the moment Of en-
HANGING the values of the Re-
public.
