ANNIVERSARY OF THE COMMONWEALTH
OF PUERTO RICO AND THE ORGANIZATION
OF AMERICAN STATES

ue With great enthusiasm which will insure its success,
preparations are going on in New York to celebrate the
Sixth Anniversary of the foundation of the Commonwealth
of Puerto Rico, and thanks to the initiative of our colleague
"La Prensa' of that city, the enormous Puerto Rican colony
will gather at the Central Park Mall, which has room ap-
pr0ximately for thirty thousand persons.
A good number of civic groups of the great metropolis
have already given their support to that event, which will
necessarily have an overwhelming attendance Of the Spanish
speaking community, which in Manhattan constitutes one
third of the population.
The scheduled celebration has more Importance in
New York if we take into consideration the electoral cam
paig to begin soon, the strength of the New York representa-
ton and what the Commonwealth means in Inter American
relations.
An Island where two cultures merge and where the
most extraordinary economic experiments are taking place,
With a well directed investment of private capital, represents,
without doubt, an expression of the most positive Pan Ameri
canism, which is also the goal of the Organization of Amer.
lean States.
Fort that reason, we believe that it is essential that
the Organization of American States brings its encouraging
voice to the great demonstration of July rs in the City of
New York. The extraordinarily convincing voice of the
illustriOus GAS Secretary General, DIR. Jose A. Mora, could
be and should be at the Central Park Mall the voice of
America, which would result in reciprocal support between
the Latin Americans residing in the United States and the
Organization of American States.
of this magnitude can have the opportunity of hearing the
Pan American message by one of its highest representatives:
the Secretary General of the GAS.

President Prudo
Of PERI Prefers
q Conference Of

LIMA (BPI)- President Manuel

his colleague, Juscelino Kubit-
schek, President of Brazil, said
that he prefers a conference of the
American nations foreign minist-
ers rather than their presidents, as
proposed in a letter to President
Eisenhower.
Prado's answer was reported in
the daily LA Prensa."
The newspaper says that Prado
affirms in his answer the necessity
of two factors to make Pan Ameri-
canism a reality: /. The United
States decision to revise its pre-.
sent economic policy in connection
with Latin America. 2. The joint
action Of all Latin American ma
tons.
PradO resumes the revision of
the US. policy in this way: laid to
industrialization, market stabil.
lty for raw materials prices; de-
velopment of trade exchange, in
~tegration of progressive Latin
American economy in the regional
markets and strengthening of Pan
Americanism in the political and
juridical aspects"
According to LA Prensa" Pra-
do says the conference of foreign
ministers should create new CO
operative formulas by which "our
countries could solve their great
social and economic problems and
to raise the standard of living of
their people"
Prado says that this not only
means "the elimination of the mis-
understandings between United
States and Latin America, but the
elimination of any concern within
this part of the continent, avoiding
unnecessary arming for American
defense and %reaffirming the juri-
dicial Pan American order"

Political ExiIes

The presence of political exiles
In any country of America, par
tlcularly when these exileS are
the victims of regimes existing
in our Continent, wins the SYM
pathy of our peoples for the
cause of democracy in those Ma
tons where liberty is inexistent.
The relationships that directly
exile their citizens, or that in.
directly force them to abandon
their country, bring immense
harm upon themselves in front
OF international public opinion,
because the peregrination of the
exiles constitutes a call against
tyranny that always finds echo
in the conscience of America.
When in our Hemisphere the
time may come when the citizens
no longer are forced to leave
their country for political rea-
sons, that would be proof that
the democratic order prevails
throughout the vast extensions
OF America. Another kind of
ambassadors mot the exiles-
will then go in every Nation
pointing to the existence of re-
publican institutions, without
the shadows or tragedies that
cause so much heartbreak and
fears in the lives of our peoples.
And when those institutions are
a continuous reality in all the
American countries, progress in
the cultural, economic and social
levels, resting on a decorous and
stable political structure, will
also be a reality on the march
toward better goals.
