ton and contributions to the or
g%anization, would give Brazil AZ

Ell Salvador, 3 per cent. According
to the proposed system of assign
ing five votes to each participating
nation plus a vote for every TO-.
600 sacks of coffee which this ma

"~probIemaiicaI Fellow
Party Members"

Leaders OF political parties, es-
pecially those Of the opposition,
have to tackle countless pro-
blemS for which they must have
relative tranquility in order to
reach the conclusions that are
most convenient for their cause.
1t is difficult of course, to
achieve such tranquility if the
first one interested in its disap-
pearance is the Government, and
when it is the case of a totalitar-
ian regime, the problem gets
worse, because the attempt is
not only against the leaders men,
tai peace, but also against their
personal security. Indeed, poll
teal party leaders are aware Of
the kind of dangers they face
in relation to the manner in
which their enemies or adverse
ries act and, in a certain way,
the situation is normal, even if
such normally does not cores
pond to the usual practices in q
democracy.
One thing is not normal, and
that is the attitude of many fell
low party members, who with
their intransigence or dispro-
portioned sensibility are always
creating difficulties to their own
party leaders, unknowingly sabo.
tagging their own cause.
With their exaggerated resent.
ments in matters more or less UNI
important, or discrepancies that
lead to extremes for the most
insignificant reasons, those peo-
pie fall into the category of
"problematical fellow party MEM
bers" and represent, in one way
or the other, a problem for their
party leaders, taking away with
their conduct some of the men
tai and spiritual peace needed
to better and more adequately
fulfill the mission imposed by
leadership.
When an opposition goes
through difficult moments, such
fellow party, members are as
harmful to their cause as undis-
-ciplined soldiers, towards or in.
experienced fighters would be
in combat.
It is alright to expect the lead
ers to be humanity complacent
with others, especially with those
who share with them, even from
the most insignificant position,
the worries and risks involved in
their struggle. But this is not to
be carried to the extreme of de.
manding the leader to neglect
his important duties to solely de-
dictate himself to the attention of
small problems created by the
intransigence and inexperience
of fellow party members, who
with their attitude weaken the
capacity and mental disposition
demanded by the circumstances
from the political leaders, espe-
cially the leaders Of the opposi-
ton.

"TorgbraS," a Russian commercial
agency, has offered the Brazilian
government 200 million Pounds
Sterling in a plan which would
cover reciprocal commerce and a
payment system
The President of "Torgbras,"
Colonel Tito Canto, confirmed this
offer in a UP. interview, and add
ed that the matter was at this time
under study by the Brazilian gov
ernmsnt.
Canto also stated that he had

He said that Russia, who has been
developing a campaign here with
the aim of renewing commercial
and diplomatic relations with Bra

products to the value of 100 mil
lion pounds in exchange for an
equal quantity of Russian made
machinery. He also said that Rus
STA was ready to Immediately offer
oil well drilling equipment to
Brazil and also refining equipment,
which Brazil so badly needs for in

He stated that the deliveries of

By ANTONIO RUIZ

MEXICO - In the State of
Oaxaca, only a short distance from
Oaxaca City, is the famous tree of
Tule, which is one of the marvels
of the State, as well as a historic
landmark. 1t is located at one side
of the c~hurchyard of the little vii
lage of Santa Maria del Tule, which
is on the main highway. The giant
tree stands 1865 feet high and 100
feet in diameter, and thirty men
with outStretched arms and hold
ing hands can hardly surround it.
This giant cypress is believed to
have been at least fifteen hundra I'd
years old when the Spanish Con-
.quistadores first set foot on Mexi-
can soil. Cortes and his men rest
ed under its towering, widespread
branches during their disastrous
expedition to Honduras. 1t is con-
sidered to be the oldest living tree
on the American continent. There
are persons who affirm it is the
oldest tree in the world. Nearby
is another huge tree of the same
kind, measuring rs feet in height,
which is called the son of the car
Dol de Tule."
Not far from there, about as
minutes by automobile from Oaxa-
ca City along the paved highway
to Tehuantepec, are the ruins of
Militia. The village of Militia, just off
the main highway, is a little Zapo-
tecan community located in a beau
tiful valley. Before the Spaniards
arrived, the place was known as
Mictlan, and was considered the
religious center of that section.
The ruins which occupy the out
er portion of the village are fam
Gus for their elaborate and nitric
ate designs. The stone walls of the
various temples and buildings are
covered with a profusion of geo.
metrical patterns, which resemble
carved lace. The huge blocks of
stone with which the structures
were built are so perfectly cut and
fitted together that it is difficult to
discern where they join.
Underground chambers and
cruciform tombs honeycomb the
ground under the temples. The
Hall of the Monoliths" has eight
enormous columns, each carved
from a single piece of stone. 1t is
not known how the builders
managed such perfection, working
with so heavy and large materials.
The mosaic patterns, fifteen in all,
are unique among the ancient ruins
of the country.
Perhaps the most beautiful and
striking part of all the ruins is the
remarkable "Hall of the Mosaics,"
in which all the walls form a con
tinuous sculptured design. Near

Native women of the vicinity Of
fer handwoven shawls, sashes and
embroidered blouses, with patterns
similar to those on the walls of the
ruins.
Market Day in the cities and
towns of Oaxaca offers perhaps the
most interesting sights for the
visitor. Native men and women,
dressed in striking Tehuantepec,
Yolatecan, Mixtecan and Huautle-
can costumes, flock from the back
country to the city to offer their
wares. Preserving pre-conquest
customs and speaking as many as
ID Indian dialects as well as Span
ish, these vendors offer an as
tonishing assortment of arts and
crafts, much of which cannot be
obtained at any other time.
