RELATIONS

Everything seems to indicate that the countries OF
the Americas are on the threshold OF a new and tranScen-
dental era OF their history, regarding their progress in Inter
American relations, so that they may acquire a more vigOr.
GUS sense of solidarity, both regarding democracy and
their economic life.
The fact that in high official circles of the Washington
Government, the concept of the Importance of Latin Amer.
lea is taking deep roots, and that concern is being expressed
for an improvement in the relations between the United
States and the former, represents, without a shadow OF
a doubt, an important step forward, since it is undeniable
that the United States exercises great influence, both pO-
ltical and economic, not only in this Hemisphere but thrOu-
ghOut the world. 49,
On the other hand, a substantial number of Latin
American governments are already in a position to lend
support to the idea of creating a system of Inter American
protection for democracy and for human rights. This, in
the political and social field, constitutes a great progress,
in particular if the atmosphere prevailing in Washington
at present is taken into consideration, because there is
already among officials of the u. S. Government a mar.
kd consciousness that the people in the Latin American
countries want a sober and sincere encouragement for the
functiOning of continental democracy.
Regarding the serious economic problem, as interest.
ing as the political one, there is also something like an
awakening throughout the Hemisphere, and this continental
clamOr is beginning to find an echo in Washington, and
many officials of the United States Government are show
ing clear signs of concern for the economic life of Latin
America, united by close bonds to that of the United States.
1t is to be hoped, therefore, that there will be no fall
tering in the sincere but categorical claims for the Streng.
thening of Inter American solidarity, for the benefit of the
people in the twenty one countries forming the regional
system, filling up the gaps there are now both in economic
and political matters. There must be adequate economic
cooperation in the same manner in which SOLITARY demOc-
racy' must exist, as proclaimed in a solemn manner at
the famous BuenOs Aires Conference Of 1896.

Do All Governments Deserve
Respect!

There are people who are very
candid, or appear to be so, who
blindly try to convince others
that the governments, whether
they are national or foreign,
just because of the fact that
they are governments, deserve
respect, and no words of criti-
cism, determination or scott
should be directed against them.
When a government deserves
respect because of its origin and
conduct; when in its develop
ment there is nothing that rep
reSents shame as per the rules
of civilization, morality or cul-
ture; when that government
knows how to surround with
dignity its administrative and
political operations without dam
aging the republican institu-
tons, it is evident that such
government merits the respect
of all, and even that of its ad-
v~ersarieS. OF course, even If
all these factors are present, it
cannot be expected that there
will be no right to criticism,
because democracy develops on
the light, of honest discrepancy.
But when one faces govern
ments that convert the Repub.
lie into ground for its own in
terests, into a family Inheritance,
where they can impose their will
by the use of fire, by bloodshed
and at the untold sacrifice OF
a nation; when Public Admins
tration has no other orientation
than the course favoring a head
of government turned dictator,
it is ridiculous and irritating to
pretend that honorable citizens
of democratic sensibility feel
any respect or esteem for such
kind of regimes whose existence,
no matter how well seated they
are, constitute a retreat to
primitive incivility.
National and international
society react with indignation
toward those regimes. and the
less they can do is fight them
with theological sincerity, with
ardent desire to see them disap-
pear forever, so that on the ashes
of tyranny a responsible govern
ment may rise, a government
that may win the admiration and
the respect of the majorities
with a straightforward conduct
and with proper actions.
