WASHINGTO - British Co.
lumbia Packers Ltd, one of the
largest fishing concerns on the
west coast of Canada, has an
nounced the purchase of a subs
tantial interest in Empresa Pes
guerra Peru, S.A.
With the new capital, the Peru
Wan company will acquire two 10
ton-per-hour fishmeal plants to
supplement its existing canning
and fishmeal operations.
In recent months, the Peruvian
fishing industry has been steadily
shifting from canning to fishmeal
production, due to the inability of
Peru to dispose of its canned fish
in the British market as a result
Of competition from Japan.
Of Peru's 1856 total exports of
1920 metric tons of canned tuna
and bonito, 43 per cent or 1858
tons, was sold to Great Britain.
Trade sources estimate that over
so per cent of the British market
has been lost because of Japanese
competition.
Loss of this export market is
further reflected in the fact that
only 5 out of 40 c~anneries were
operating in Peru last month, al

BY ANTONIO RUIZ

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC -
Running across the country, east
to west, are four almost parallel
mountain ranges, covered with
thick foliage. The largest to them
is the "Cordillera Central" divid-
ing the Republic into almost equal
parts and extending for a distance
into neighboring Haiti. 1t is the
principal watershed and most of
the country's rivers flow from it.
In ancient times some Indians liv-
ed on its slopes. In this range is
Pico Trujillo, which is 10,206 feea
high, the highest peak in the West
Indies. In the south are two other
ranges, the tip of SANTANA PENN
Sula.
In the north Is the "Cordillera,"
the "Sierra Neiba" and the "Sie-
ira de Bahoruco." The former fol-
lows a northwesterly line from the
Bay of Neiba. The latter sierra,
which can be seen from the sea,
rises through the southern PENN
sula's center. 1t is famous as the
scene of important Indian rebel
lions against Spain. Between the
"Cordillera Central" and the "Cor-
dillera Septentrional," is the val
ley of the Cibao, the largest and
most important of the Dominican
Valleys. 1t is 40 miles long and
from nine to twenty-eight miles
wide. The Vega Rear
(Royal Plain), often called "The
Garden of the Antilles" in the
eastern part of the country, is the
very fertile, heavily populated re-
gion cultivated from ancient times.
Now the country's chief source of
agricultural wealth. Its fields grow
fruit, vegetables, and sugar cane,
and its grassy savannas also offer
excellent pasture. The southern
coastal plain is located between
the "Cordillera Central and the
southern coast; it is here that most
of the country's principal cities are
located. Sugar and other crops ap-
propiate to the climate are grown
here. The eastern section of this
region, being humid, contains the
large forests and savannas. The
western part is .drier.
The principal rivers of the coun'
try run down from the "Cordille-
ra Central" the east-west divide.
On the north side, the "Yaque Nor
te," the country's longest river,
winds its way westward for $50
miles through the Cibao Valley;
while the yuma" starting at a
nearby point, runs eastward
through the same valley, to empty
into SANTANA Bay. On the opposite
side of the divide, the "Yaque
del Sur" flows for about 125 miles
before reaching Neiba Bay. The
"Ozama" and the Isabella" which
join it, flow into the Caribbean
at Ciudad Trujillo. Both r navig-
able for a short distance. The "Ma-
c%oris," also navigable for a short
distance for small craft, is about
sixty miles long and takes its name
from the Province in which it is
found.
The Dominican rivers are more
important for irrigation and as pos
sible sources for power than traf-
fic lanes. The Dominican Republic
has a coastline of about $40 miles
long, with eight ports. Its coast is
dotted with many small islands,
among which is the historical eva
vona''. off the coutheast point. It is
believed that Columbus named it
for his fathers residence "Savona."
There are numerous bays, the most
important of which are Bahia Es-
cocesa," Bahia de Samana", Ba-
hia de yuma, Bahia de Oca," and
Bahia de Neiba."

He and Sonora de Acosta,
she wearing a pale grey chif-
fon dress, received their
guests at the entrance to the
embasSy's main drawing
room. Doors from this room
led onto a side garden which
was covered by awnings.
In the dining room, which
also opens on a terrace and
garden. the buffet table was
decorated with flowers in the
colors of the Venezuela flag
red. blue and yellow.

corps who accepted the
