From the Rodor Of

To fellow partisans Romulo
Betancourt is an idol, to his
adversaries he has been

been and is a. symbol of de-
mocracy, That summarizes
the personality of the man
who by the will of the
majority returns to the Chief
Executive post in Venezuela.
Today his titles are purified.
by long exile and reaffirmed
by the categorical vote of the
citizenship. No one in his
right mind could deny this
gratifying reality. To the
preceding must be added the
matureness of his experience.
All his announcements have
been highly praised. From
his beyond the grave salute to
the late ex-P President General
Isaias Medina Angarita, to his
constant desire to form a
Government of National Con-
Citation, as established in the
Punto Flo Pact.
1t is to be regretted that
enemies of Venezuela's con-
stitutional stability have
forced the Government Junta
to adopt extra-precautionary
measures to avoid distur-
Dances during the ceremonies
for the transfer of power.
Such measure would have
raised suspicion had it not
been for the support 1t re-
ceived from the President
elect himself.
We sincerely wish that the
event of indisputable Vene-
zuelan democracy m a
develop as 1t should: with
dignity, with peace and with
due respect from all.
:. Venezuela, Bolivar's great
homeland, deserves it. Pres
ident Betancourt merits a DO
litical letter of credit as the
legitimate representative of
the majority of the Vene-
zuelan people. America
applauds him with deep and
sincere expectation, inasmuch
as it means the establishment
of a government whose author

elections.
