COMMUNISM IN AMERICA

1t is undeniable that in America there has been, and
StlI there is, a very dangerous communist infiltratiOn, which
In many ways tries to confuse the authorities and all the
live forces in our countries interested in an effective de-
m0cracy and, OF course, in rejecting red tOtalitarianSm.
To deny the existence of an ably directed movement
which has the aim to SubYert public order in America, in
particular in Latin America, with communist purposes.
would be Self-deception.
Originally, the movement tried to spread its roots
among workers, both in the country and the cities. Later,
there was a change of tactics, to invade in a more SySte,
matte and serious manner the circles of young students.
After taking hold of some key positions in public educa.
ton, the well trained agents of the Kremlin, or those at
the service OF their interests, have realized a constant cate
chiZing campaign, with the advantage for communists that
they always find naive defenders, who do not realize the
Immense danger involved.
Against that reality, democratic governments and
peoples should endeavOr to strengthen with dignity the
republican regime, to surround it with moral prestige and,
besides, they should do everything possible, within the
law, to defend the institutions of the Republic and to
weaken, if complete elimination is not possible, the SUBJ
Versive campaign of the enemies of freedom.
Besides this real threat, this infiItration, there is some
thing else that could be called a phantom, because blindIy
the danger OF communism is invoked to engage in arbitrary
acts, in the part of some Governments, which are in search
of excuses to prosecute their opponents. In this manner,
they have contributed to create a regrettable confusion
among public opinion, because when they speak of cam.
paignS against communism, many persons who are truly
anti-cOmunist doubt the sincerity of such campaigns.
If any democratic opponent of the, regime is accused
of communism to perSecute him, it is twice as harmful for
the democratic cause, because, in the first place, the Iegiti-
mate rights of the citizens are trampled upon, and second,
because it diScreditS all genuine efforts against true COM
muniSm.
Strengthening democracy closes many doors to red
tOtalitarianiSm.

COMMERCE DEPARTMENT
REPORTS LATIN PLANS
FOR COMMON MARKET

WASHINGTON, March Z. (UP).
The Commerce Department includ-
ed in its Foreign Trade Weekly
the text of the propositions for a
regional Latin American common
market, prepared in the meeting
held in Santiago, Chile, from Fee
bruary Bill last, under the aus
pices of the United Nations Econo-
mic Commission for Latin Amer
lea (CEPAL).
The text, which covers two pages
of the bulletin, reflects the world
interest as shown by the interna-
tional discussions about a Latin
American common market.
The Commerce Department wro-
tie the following preface to the
text of the document written in
the meeting of Santiago: $50 far,
the propositions written by the
CEPAL have tended to enhance
the more limited groups, such as
those of Central America and the
seven South American countries,
and to concentrate in such matters,
as the m~ultilateral change of Ii
quotations and the creation of re-
gional basic influences.
"The most ample point seems
to reflect the influence of the es-
tablishement of the European COM
mon market and of the possible
greater weight of larger groups.
"Santiago's propositions S m
to create the special basis of a
regional market. When opinions of
the Governments are received
there are expected greater discus
sions this year in Mexico, where
recommendations for the CEPAL
conference to be held in Panama

sion, declaring that machinery and
equipment bought will be used for
promotion and expansion of indus

we made good purchases, at inter

trade will be intensified with coun-
tries behind the iron curtain"

their requests for loans.
In statements made before the
Inter American Economic and So
cial Council where he appeared
to explain the manner in which
the fund will affect the Latin
American countries, Mcintosh de-
clared the fund is aimed to help
underdeveloped countries to i'm
prove their national economies. He
pointed out that, in considering
loans, the fund will take into con-
sideration each project, on its own
merits, rather than the merits OF
the country submitting the re-
quest.
However, Mcintosh declared that
industrialized countries OF Europe,
among them the scandinavian ma
tons, as well as Japan, Venezuela
and possibly two more Latin Amer
lean countries, will not be consl-
dered as entitled to loans, since
they have their own financial re-
sources.

which it does not set determined
