Venezue|ans Greatly Resisting
Red Infi|tration, Porter Says

WASHINGTON, August 5 CUPID
Charles o. Porter, Democratic
representative from Oregon, stated
that he found a clearly alert and
resiStive" attitude towards COM
munist infiltration in Venezuela.
during his visit there last month.
Porter gave this opinion in con-
tradiction to a report from Cara
cas-, published here, which affirmS
that only the Army in Venezuela
is fully aware of the communist
threat.
The report, distributed by a
news agency other than the United
Press international, made no men,
ton of the clearly anti-communis-
tic statements recently issued by
Rear Admiral Wolfgang Larraza-
bal, President of the Provisional
Junta, and Romulo Betancourt,
leaders of the Democratic Action
Party.
The Senator, who frequently has
condemned Latin American die
tatorships, admits that the main
objective of the Provisional Junta
is none other than to re-establish
political unity and create a demo-
cratic climate in order to replace
the repressive policies of the re-
gime of Marcos Perez Jimenez,
ousted by the Junta last January.
Nevertheless, Porter added that

EDITORIAL
HOMAGE TO BOLIVIA

On the occasion of the cOmmemOratiOn today of the
anniversary of independence of the Republic of Bolivia,
THE AMERICAS DAILY renewS its tribute of sympathy
and respect for that sister nation, whose Importance should
be remembered on a day such as this.
In the development of Latin American political and
social life, Bolivia has at present visible significance, and
everybody is making votes for the general reorganization
OF that country to be achieved for the benefit of a greater
strength for democratic consciousness in our continent.
Regarding social, political and economic development in
that nation, there is a reasonable expectation throughout
the Hemisphere, because of the nature of Bolivian pro-
blemS, which require solutions that, in one way or another,
Will open new paths in the field of Latin American re-
adjustment to preSent-day conditions.
The social problems of that country have been ex-
plotted by some communist sectors which confuse healthy
popular aspirations for improvement with red interests,
which. precisely are the opposite of that improvement.
For that reason, BOlivians concerned with the destiny of
the Republic, and all those who in America are engaged
In a struggle to prevent anything antidemocratic from
taking roots in this Hemisphere, are following very closely
the events In that country. Naturally, those BOlivianS, as
a civic obligation, are participating directly in the political
and social activities, with the constructive purpose of achiey.
ing progress for the nation.
That Bolivia may achieve complete realization of her
ideals, is a sincere wish of THE AMERICAS DAILY dur
ing this anniversary, cOngratulating, at the same time, all
Bolivian residents in the United States, In particular His
Excellency Victor Andrade, worthy Ambassador of his
country before the White House.

BraziIs Foreign Minister
Confers With Dulles About
Vital Brazilian Problems
VISIT TO INSTITUTE CANCELLED
AFTER STUDENTS DEMONSTRATION

RIO DE JANEIRO, August 5
(UPI)-The U. S. Secretary of
State, John Foster Dulles, started
the first full day of his visit to
Brazil with a round table con-
ference with his Brazilian colleage,
Francisco de Negrao Lima, which
lasted for ar hour and a quarter.
He was accompanied by the Assis-
tant Secretary of State in charge
of Inter American Affairs, Roy r.
Rubottom. the U. S. Ambassador,
Ellis Briggs; the Economic Advisor,
Howard Gotham, and the Director
of Economic Affairs of the State
Department, Thomas Mann.
The group drove to the Ministry,
led by the Military Police and
thanked by motorcycle police.
In the Ministry they were re-
ceived by Negrao Lima, Finance
Minister, Lucas Lopes; the Brazil
Ian Ambassador to the U. S.,
Ernandi Do Amaral Peixoto, and
the Head of the Itamaraty Econo-
mic Department, Barbosa Lima.
Meanwhile, it was announced
that the visit that Dulles had
planned for the afternoon to 20
to the Brazilian us. Institute had
been cancelled for security reasons.
The Institute, partially financed
by the U. S. government, is located
In a narrow street in the heart of
downtown Rio de Janeiro. The Po-
litieal Police Chief, Danilo N1nez,
who is in charge of Dulles pro-
lection, thought that there were
not enough safety measures that
could be taken for his protection
If anything should occur while he
was there. Y
After this mornings meeting,
Dulles and Negrao issued a COM
munique stating: eve discussed
the atmosphere of the basic in
tereStS for political and economic
relations between the two coun-
tries. The discussions will continue
tomorrow in Itamaraty. (The For
eign Ministry. 1t was resolved
that the joint working committees
will study and analyze specific sub
jects this afternoon in order to
speed up the discussions"
Negrao Lima told newspaper
men that Dulles visit twas of major
significance" and that it represent
ed "an excellent starting point
for stronger, continuous relations
between the two nations.

lean ties and define Latin Amer
ica'S role in the cold war between
East and West.
Editorials appeared simultane-
ously in the official Peiping Peo-
pies Daily and the semi official
Ia Kung Pao accusing the United
States of plotting military coup
d'etats in Haiti and Venezuela
and of armed Intervention in Cuba.
The editorials were distributed
by the Communist New China
News Agency and broadcast over
Radio Peiping.
In the attack on U. S. policies
in Latin America, the Peiping Peo-
pies Daily charged that the United
States during the last decade 'has
engineered subversive activities in
Bolivia, Guatemala, Brazil, Peru,
Salvador, Paraguay, Costa Rica and
Cuba"
The newspaper, in an editorial
called "U. S. imperialism is the
deadly enemy of smaller nations,
said that "only recently" the
United States had plotted a coup
in Venezuela to restore the pro-
us. dictator's regime" ID
1t further said that Washington
was preparing to dispatch troops
to Cuba for armed Intervention,
using the excuse of protecting the
water supply system at its Guam
tanamo Naval Base"
Marines took over protection of
the water supply at the request Of
the Cuban army. They were with
drawn last weekend.
The newspaper said further that
while Eisenhower was trying his
best to deck himself out as the
defender Of the rights of smaller
nations in his Aug. l letter to
Khrushchev, he was ordering amer
lean diplomats to engineer a coup
against the legal government cf
Haiti.

Company on the economy of the
country is relatively small.
by every economic measure
that we can apply say the au.
thorS- the United Fruit Com.
pany's contribution to the econo.
my of these six countries is OF
extreme benefit, from the view
point of national interest. The fact
that it leaves more than seven dol.
lars for each one that is withdrawn
in the zone is very impressive, but
perhaps not the most important
factor in determining the degree in
which these countries have bene.
fitted by offering their hospitality.
The survey adds that even more
significant is that the Fruit Com.
pany has been a pioneer and has
carried out a constant role in the
development of a very productive
business, if compared to other agri.
cultural achievements carried out
in the countries covered in the
report.
In order to successfully develop
banana production and distribu.
ton in international trade, much
more investment is needed than in
other agricultural products it
adds it is doubtful if this trade
would have developed along its
present scale if production
had been financed only by the ma.
tional support of the countries
where there is little capital.
Gallo Plaza and Mays report, on
the other hand, observes that less
commendable, but just as impor.
tant as the other benefits for the
countries where it operates, is that
it has "opened vast lowland zones,
hot and humid, of waste land
which could have remained closed
for decades of colonization and pro.
duction".
"In these jungle areas il has
made or financed basic things such
as roads, railroads, ports, commu.
nications, power plants, hospitals
and schools. II has taught methods
OF modern scientific agriculture
and use of equipment, and trained
thousands of the citizens of these
countries in the use of these things
The company also introduced
health measures without which Its
activities in the tropics would
have been practically impossible"
