HOMAGE TO

On the occasion of the celebration, today, of another
anniversary OF the founding of the Republic of Paraguay,
THE AMERICAS DAILY, with its usual Pan AmericaniSt
terVOr, pays tribute Of sympathy to that generous South
American Nation, with the most sincere wishes for the
moral and material Wellbeing of her people.
No date could be more timely to express these wishes
than in the anniversary of independence of a Republic,
since around the motive of that glorious event one must
necessarily think about what it means for the people, and
nothing means more than their moral and material we'll
being, the former being, of course, more important than
the latter.
Above the material advantages that a country may
enjoy are and must be the moral values of nationality.
For that reason, in this day of glorious membranes for
those people, it is timely to exalt the spiritual merits of
the Paraguayan citizen, as well as to extend wishes for
that nation to achieve, as a high expression of her moral
%wellbeing, the maximum cOnquests of democracy, SO that
its political philosophy may become the safest guide for
the deStinieS of that sister Republic.
The ardent desire for freedom of the Paraguayan peO-
pie have found wide support and sympathy from all the
peoples of America, in the same manner that similar desires
of other peoples always find fervent moral support among
their brothers of the Continent.
When a Nation of our Hemisphere is celebrating her
National Holiday, as Paraguay is doing today, throughout
the Americas votes of sympathy are renewed for the pro-
greSS OF that Fatherland, which commentaries the ma
xinum event of her Republican life. Today, therefore,
from all corners of the continent voices are raised in
appreciation and respect for Paraguay, in an homage of
sincere Pan American fraternity.
THE AMERICAS DAILY reterateS on this occasion
its feelings of sympathy toward the Paraguayan people,
and extends congratulations to the persons who officially
represent that country in the United States, i'm particular
the Charge d'Affaires in Washington, Mr.. PersiO da Silva.

Letters TO the Editor
DISTINGUISHED MIAMI ATTORNEY COMMENTS
ON THE DEMONSTRATIONS AGAINST NIXON

In a letter addressed to our Edi-
tor, DR.. Horacio Aguirre, Mr.. Mes
tor Morales, well-known Miami at
torney, comments on the hostile
demonstrations against the U. S.
Vice President, Mr.. Richard M.
Nixon, during his Latin American
tour, as follows:
"The people of the United
States have been shocked at the in
cident of Vice President Nixon: as
one person expressed it: 81 thought
the Latin American people liked
u.s..
"The disfavor of the Latin Amer
leans towards the United States
has an economic cause:
First the Latin American peo-
pie sell raw materials to the Unit
ed States which are sold at a re-
duced price; they desire that the
price Of their products be stabliz-
ed or pegged, but we insist on
buying their coffee on the open
market. We, on the otherhand sell
them our machinery at a high
price. This induces them to be.
lieve that we are exploiting them
and using them as economic Co
lonies.
Second We sell to the Latir
American people approximately
nine hundred million dollars more
Diario las Américas., 1958-05-14

than we purchase from them. This
unfavorable balance of trade
makes their economic lot all the
more difficult so that they become
poorer as we grow richer and.
Third despite the fact that we
are selling Latin America nine
hundred million dollars more than
we purchase from them, they know
that various economic industrial
lists of the United States are seek
ing to raise the tariff on lead,
zinc, copper and other items
which will further reduce our pur-
chases from them and make their
economic lot even more difficult.
"In a partnership where one
partner is making all the profits,
the other partner cannot be hap
Ply. Therefore if we expect the
Latin American people to like the
United States, a solution must be
found to our economic trading so
that we can equalize the benefits.
VIZ will have to find a way of buy,
ing their supplies from them at a
price and in a quantity which will
enable them to raise their heads
above the surface rather than sink
further and further in poverty.

CARACAS, Venezuela, May IS.
-(UP).- Hoodlums braRdishing
clubs and throwing rocks attacked
Vice President Richard M. Nixon's
automobile enroute from Caracas
airport after his arrival here to-
day. They smashed all the car
windows except the windshield
and the window at the rear. Nixon
was uninjured.
The car carrying Mrs. Nixon,
second in the official caravan, also
was attacked She was not hurt.
Police charged in and broke up
the attack with tear gas.
The splintering glass showered
everyone in Nixon's car.
Venezuelan F ig Minister
Garcia Velutini suffered a cut lip
and Nixon's official translator 1t.
Col. Vernon Walters got a mouth
full of glass.
1t was Nixon's worst exerience
yet on his eight-nation South
American tour, even more violent
than the outbreak at Lima where
a thrown stone grazed his neck
and demonstrators hdrled garbage
at him and his party. Before his
arrival here today, there had been
reports that communists might try
to assassinate him.
Today's incident occurred just as
the Nixon caravan of Cadillacs
swept from the broad four-lane
highway leading from the airport
into the narrow streets of the city
limits.
A mob of about $50 hoodlums
closed in ON the cars, shaking their
fists and waving signs saying Ego
home yankee dog.
The mob spat upon the cars and
ripped American flags from both
the cars in which the Nixons were
riding.
The Venezuelan flag also was
torn from Nixon's car by the mob
which was throwing eggs, tomatoes
and rocks.
Because of the incident, the Of
fetal caravan proceeded directly
to the U. S. Embassy residence,
emitting a scheduled stop. at the
