POLITICAL REPUTATION IN THE AMERICAS

AS a matter of protocol, the official visit of a Chief
Executive of any foreign country usually assumes great
sOlemnity, and the host Government renders the visitor
all kinds of official courtesy, with displays of troops, gun
salutes, elegant receptions, banquetS, balls, etc, etc. The
people join, some times, in those acts, either as a demons
tratiOn OF good will toward the country to which the guest
belongs, because OF respect to what he represents in demo
cratic terms, and sometimes just out of curiosity. of course,
that popular participation is always in proportion with the
degree of merits and personality of the visitor.
The President of Honduras, DIR. Ramon Villeda Mo-
raleS, has just returned to Tegucigalpa, after q long tour
OF South American Republics, where he was the object
OF extraordinary manifestations of appreciation and res
pect, not only because of the high position he holds, but
because of the origin of his Government, Enthusiastically
democratic.
In the person of the ilustriOuS HOnduran Chief Exc.
cutive, the peoples of the South American countries, in
q special manner, paid homage to HOnduran and Latin
American republicaniSm. The manner in which the press
of those countries reported the visit of Villeda Morales,
the editorial comments, as well as the demonstrations of
prOt0cOlary acts, reveal that i'm the Americas one can win
or lose political reputation. The HOnduran President,
who arrived to the Presidency by the clean paths of demo.
eracy, won during his recent trip, in all the countries he
visited, q great testimony of sympathy and respect of
the sister republics, where the people salute with sincere
enthusiasm all that which represents political dignity In
any Of our Republics.
1t is almost certain that what impressed most the PreSi-
dent of Honduras must have been the spontaneous homage
of the people, since, after all, official receptions, adjusted
to protocol, do not change from one Chief of Govern
ment to another, whether he is a genuine representative
of the will of his fellow cities, or an uSurper. Perhaps
there Is a small difference, but 1t is manifested very little
within the more or less stereotyped formulas of diplomacy.

Cuba's Case Before fhe OAs

It was the general belief that
IT ever any debate developed in
the Organization of American
States with regard to the Cuban
situation, it would be in con-
nection with the recent abduc-
ton of Candida de la Tore He
rrera, who was taken by force
In Mexico City and transported
to Cuba to be tortured, as de.
ciared by the victim himself. As
everybody knows, in the face Of
that bizarre abduction, the Me-
xiean Government did its duty
to defend the violated sover.
eighty of the Republic and de.
manded from the Havana regime
the release Of the victim, who
returned to the democratic Me.
xican homeland in a plane pro-
vided by the Government Of
Adolfo Ruiz Confines.
However, it came as a surprise
to America that it is Cuba the
one bringing her problem to the
GAS in an unfortunate protest
in connection with a program
televised last Sunday from the
Pan American Union, intended
to establish the reasons of the
resentment that has developed
between Latin America and the
United States.
Among OF h er motives given
during the program, mention
was made of the assistance or
apparent tolerance by the Wa.
shington government of the
Latin American dictators and,
among them, naturally, the Gu
ban case was brought up. This
has been considered by the Ba-
tista regime al a great "offense",
protesting in such a way that
would hardly do any favor to the
political interests of the present
Cuban government. 1t is very
possible that not even the re.
representatives. of the other three
relationships the one in the
Caribbean area, the Central
American and the South Amer
lean will give open and positive
support to this Cuban attitude,
despite the fact that they too
were mentioned in the course
of the program.
It would be absurd, to say the
least, to pretend to impose a
ban on this type of programs in
the Palace of the Pan American
Union.
The United States, which was
the country receiving the most
criticism during the debate of
last Sunday, not only permitted
this interesting h a 6 Of
opinions but also approved the
participation in the program Of
a high official of the State De.
partment. Is that the reason why
the Cuban government feels Of
fended?. Has there been an
attempt to switch the protest to
the GAS to avoid direct consid-
Grafton of the matter by the Wa.
shington government? 49,.
