Top Representatives Of World
Coffee Producing Countries 10
Discuss Industry Crisis Today

NEW YORK - CUPID. = Top
leaders of Latin American coffee
production are arriving in this
city, to take part in the emergen-
cy meeting to be held in Washing
ton tomorrow, coinciding with q
sharp drop in the bean prices.
Before continuing their trip to
Washington, the coffeemen are ex-
changing viewpoints at a meeting

The Washington meeting was
called by Colombian Ambassador
Jose Gutierrez Gomez, President

American countries, the United

countries interested in coffee pro-
duction.
The Latin American delegates

dations they will submit to the full
session of the group, in search of
a solution of the problem created
by overproduction. The Latin Am
erican suggestions will be consider
ed later by representatives of Eu-
ropean and African producers.

is THERE COMMUNISM IN LATIN AMERICA?

AS dangerous for the fate Of continental democracy
is that dictatOrS or irresponsible heads OF government
Systematically call communist anymore who opposes them
or all those who ardently wish to see republican institutions
restored, as that ill-intentiOned persons, or those extremely
naive, declare that in Latin America communist innTa'
ton does not exist, in their continued, yelled and harmful
campaigns.
Identification of the communist movement in the Con-
tinent has become a very difficult matter, mostly because
of that diSlOyal desire, on both sides, to deceive everybody.
DenunciatiOn by a Government, unless it is a regime
Of proven democratic sincerity, is always received with
certain suspicion by other Governments and by all the
people. There is always a fear that 1t is only one of many
restoration of democracy. In the same manner, the declara.
ton that there is no communist problem, when it comes
from elements of leftiSt tendencies or who live practically
outside of the world of reality, is also received with miStruSt,
because there is a fear that 1t has the purpose to deceive,
in order to favor the progress OF red infiltratiOn, or that
it is one of many statements made by dreamerS who, with
the alergy they have for hard, naked reality, confuse the
people, or make them deviate from the path of truth.
For Russia not to show a marked interest In Latin
America, it would be necessary that this group of twenty
nations completely lacked significance in international
affairs, or that they represented nothing for the immediate
future of the world. The truth Is that Latin America has
great value at present in the community of nations, and,
above all, 1t has a better future than any other region ON
earth. Therefore, even if there was no physical proof of
the Soviet infiltratiOn and there is there Is no reason
to believe that Russia would neglect the all important Latin
American field, when it is a well-knOwn fact that she is in
terested in Subjugating the whole world through direct
armed violence or through lies about alleged doctrines of
vindicatiOn, tending to create her Communist Empire ON
the foundation of moral destruction of all peoples.

Colombia Requests oAs Opinion on
Asylum for Armed Forces Officers

WASHINGTON (UPD- Colon
bia has requested an opinion from
the Inter American Juridical Com
mittee, regarding the question of
whether officers Of the Armed
Forces in active service have the
right to diplomatic asylum.
The Council of the Organization
OF American States (OAS) agreed
to submit the matter to the COM
mittee, which is to meet in Rio de
Janeiro on July Is, and is expect
ed to report ION due time
to the Council. Only Ell Saliva
dor and Guatemala abstained when
the Colombian request was sub.
mitted to a vote.
Those two countries, together
with Paraguay, have given asylum
In their embassies in Bogota to a
group of rebel Colombian officers
involved in the abortive plot
against the Government on Nav
3.
The three countries have re-
queSted from the Colombian Gov
eminent safeconducts for the Of
fleers to abandon Colombian ter
ritory.
1t is possible that safeconducts
are not granted before the Juri-
Diario las Américas., 1958-07-11

dical Committee gives an opinion,
or until the new Colombian Gov
eminent assumes power.
President-elect Alberto Lleras
Camargo will be inaugurated as
President of Colombia on August
z. The personal opinion of some
ambassadors to the GAS is that
Lleras Camargo may grant the
safeconducts without waiting for
an opinion of the committee. or
even withdraw the request for an
opinion.
Thus in agreeing to the request,
the ambassadors did not judge the
Colombian position in itself nor
they considered the case of the Of
ficers. They only gave due atten-
ton to the Colombia request.
In requesting the GAS Council
to send the matter to the Inter
American Juridical Committee,
Colombian Ambassador Jose Gu
tierrez Gomez stressed the tech
nical aspects of the question and
affirmed that Colombia for a long
time has maintained that Army of
flcers have no right to asylum. He
did not submit the case to the
GAS referring specifically to the
Colombian Army officers now in
asylum in several embassies.

LET'S Keep Mckee
as Friend, Journal
Of Commerce Says

NEW YORK - CUPID = The
journal of Commerce" makes a
detailed statement of the elections
of last Sunday in Mexico, and be-
sides commenting about the pros
perity of that nation and its
friendly relations with the United
States, it says:
"All this makes a brilliant point
in a world of troubles, and makes
US enter into an analysis which
should not be done, but that needs
more attention in the way conduc-
ting our economic relations with
the foreign countries than the one
being given, so far.
Let us not mention our friend
ship with Mexico simply because
things r running good there.
Let US not become famous as a
nation which reacts in emergen-
cies and disastrous cases. When we
have something good, as for exam
pie our relations with Mexico, let
US leave it so, because when time
to account for comes, the things
OF that pattern we have are very
few. =
"our principal problem is not to
do correct things only but not to
do improper things through small
reductions in the imports, labor
wages and similar other things.
In present day Mexico, a favorable
opportunity is in sight. 1t would
be a wrong thing to neglect it.
The title of the editorial is 'Let
US leave it SO" and begins saying
that it is ironical that the United
States sometimes disregards her
neighbors and allies unless they
conceive a more dramatic idea Of
attraction, as for example, ston-
ing ice-President Nixon, taking
American citizens as hostages and
surprising with an spectacular
agreement with the Kremlin".
