The Journalist states that 'the
politicians r in a struggle to see
which n will be able to get the
most advantage out of the resent
ment caused by the U. S. restric.
TONS.
"They speak of two measures,
as a reprisal, which could greatly
affect us. businessmen, if the
threats of restrictions materalize,
says Wicker.
The threats mentioned are:
Restrictions of Venezuelan
purchases from the U. S.
More Venezuelan control over
the operations of oil companies.
The correspondent recalls that
Venezuela was the Latin American
country which bought more in the
us. last year, reaching a level
of more than one billion dollars.
He stressed the Importance that
the second threat consists of that
the most part of the 3 million do
liars invested by us. capital in
Venezuela in is oil companies.
He cites the following statement
of Fabricio Ojeda, leader of the
Patriotic Junta which directed the
civilian movement against the 60
vernment of Perez Jimenez.
"(The restrictions) constitute an
adverse precedent regarding the
commercial relations between the
US. and Venezuela. A similar
measure could be used by Vene-
zuela against us. import pro-
ducts"
Jovito Villalba, leader of the
Republic Democratic Union, who
recently returned from exile to Ca
racas says: "The Venezuelan 60
vernment should take a more i'm
portant part in the sale of its oil".
He adds that Villalba thinks
that his country's oil is now being
sold "unilaterally" and that the
"whims'' of the U. S. are the deter
mining factor.
81 cannot be sure that if what
the Venezuelans say about repri-
sails is concrete, but there is no
doubt about the depth of resent
ment, and this has a better op-
portunity to find political express
sion now than before the recent
revolution" concludes the CORES

IN GUATEMALA

AS it is well known, the political crisis put before the
Guatemalan people with the results of the last elections,
has been solved, at least in its first phase, because of the
patriotic attitude of the two principal rivals in the campaign:
Gen. Miguel YdigOraS FuenteS and Col. Jose Luis Cruz
SalaZar.
In a historical gesture which must be recognized by
Guatemala and America, the candidates to the Presidency
OF the Republic have signed a pact of political peace which,
IL is sure, will determine that Gen. YdigOraS, the candidate
who received the greatest number of votes, be the next Chief
Executive. In this manner they have avoided, or are trying
10 avoid, a conflict of electoral techncality which the Ma
tlonal Congress must decide, since Gen. YdigOraS did not
get enough votes for an absolute majority, being followed
by Col. Cruz SaIaZar.
1t is to be hoped, therefore, that the members of Con-
gress, putting aside their personal sympathies or political
interest, both those supporting Ydigoras and Cruz Salazar,
will accept the civic and patriotic formula resulting from
the pact OF the two candidates. If in Congress the spirit
which inspired the noble attitude of the two prevails, Qua.
temala would have solved in a decOrOus manner, with a sense
OF responsibility, a serious political problem in favor of
democracy, national progress and the prestige of America.
