Ell panamericanisno, para t%riunfar, nece-
sta del respaldo de los pueblos. Panamerica-
nismo a puertas cerradas no puede prOgresar,
pOrque necesita mas que de los GObiernOs del
alp,oyo, la fe y Ell entusiasmo de los pueblos.
Panamericanismo es democracia, en- cuanto la
ideologia que a~glutina en- sistema regional a
las veintiuna Republicas es de esencia eminen-
temente democratica. Y no puede haber demo-
cracia cuando la prensa es objeto de limitacio-
nes,' y no puede cumplir a cabalidad con SUI sa-
Hldables v necesaria function i~nfDrmatiya. La
democracia Sc nutre de la libertad de informa-

profunda sOrpresa, y ha sido objeto de fuertes
cenSuraS.

nOce sin reservas que estos son hechos espora-

Science Shrinks Piles

For the first time science has

In one hemorrhoid case after

Pain was relieved promptly.
And, while gently relieving
pain, actual reduction or re-
