INTER AMERICAN POLITICAL AND
ECONOMIC THEMES

1t Is evident that in the Americas there is now extra
ordinary anxiety to learn about the new form that neceS-
Sarily must govern the Inter American System, in the sense
OF giving more expression of functional reality to the spirit
and letter OF multiple Conventions and Declarations, as
well as regarding the creation of Instruments of q more
positive significance to develop the purposes of Pan Amer.
lcaniSm, for the benefit of the twenty one countries linked
by that doctrine.
Within this current movement, some persons think
only of political matters, and others consider only the eco
monte problems. Of course, there is a strong sector of con.
tinental public opinion that, with good reason, is thinking
and demanding that both cases, so urgent and delicate, are
presented, studied and solved as soon as possible, at least
In their most serious aspects.
Political and economic matters are closely linked, and
both factors determine the social stability required in a
country for the achievement of w~enbeing and progress.
~ With political freedom, but without economic freedom,
no nation can possibly prosper. And with a flOuriShing
economy 1T 1t has to develop among humiliating political
situations, there cannot be public satisfaction and cOnfid-
ence, and, therefore, without mourning in exaggeratiOnS,
one can say that there can be no wellbeing and progress.
And to wait for a slow process of evolution i'm which the
economic prosperity may create a favorable atmosphere for
political reform, would be to close the doors to the hope
OF the present generation OF some Latin American cOun-
tries where, for lack of a well balanced political attitude
Of the Inter American System, they suffer the Scourge of
tyranny. And that generation, precisely, is the one that is
exerting pressure now so that the Inter American System
is not used only to protect governments, but to protect peO-
pies also.
1t is convenient, therefore, that those who direct Inter
American policies, or those who contribute to its Orienta-
ton, take into consideration that present day America
demands sincere discussion and practical solutions for the
serious problems, both political and economic, which bring
anguish and unrest to the life of the citizen who wants
political freedom, social w~ellbeing and a reasonable Geo.
nOmic comfort.

candidate among the parties which
fought against the dictatorship, re-
presented by him and the leaders
of the Aceion Democratica and
Union Republican, Democratica.
Romulo Betancourt and Jovito vi

Answering a question, Caldera
admitted that none of the three
leaders has had a part in the nego-
tiations of the emerger and re-
cognized that their participation
could favor the agreement.
Referring to the elections, he
said:
Shortly after the ousting of the
dictatorship we thought it was pos
sible to hold them in November,
but everything now shows that 1t
will not be possible to have them
that month, he said. "The date
cannot be given until registration
of voters is finished. 1t might be
possible to call them for Deem
Der, but the most probable is that
they can't be held until the begin
ming of 1882.
He praised the steps taken by
the Government Junta to hold elec-
tons and to re-establish a constis
tutional regime.
He recalled that the chiefs of
the armed force of Venezuela have
repeatedly stated that they will
defend the constitutional govern
ment, saying:

of the democratic process of the
nation will happen.
At the end OF his talk he said
that he believes "this mostly de-
ponds on civilians" and that IF
the parties representing them act
accordingly in defense of the de-
m~eeratie system Interruptions will
be avoided.

His optimism regarding the Sc

in what he considers as the com

Each one of the three parties,
he said to the press, with clean
mind against selfishness, continue
considering that the establishment
OF the constitutional government
of Venezuela has to be attained
through a coalition government,
excluding the communists. These
could send their representatives to

considers vital in this moment.

However, the various interna-

DOMINICAN ECONOMY
WASHINGTON - A bumper
sugar crop and high prices for sug-

ing 1876. This is about 10 per
cent higher than during the pre-
vious year. Total imports last year
we're $50 Z million, up 8 per cent
from 1856.
The nation expects larger sugar
and coffee crops in the current
season. The sugar harvest may
reach $50, 900 short tons, 6 per
cent higher than the l956-57 out
put. Coffee production is expected
to rise 81 per cent from the pre-

to be an off-year for cacao - the
current crop may be down 5 per
cent from 1867.
