listeria
on the giant United Fruit Co, In
negotiations to revise the firm's
concession in Costa Rica. Don
Pepe wants a 50-50 split In the
Costa Rican profits. But, he says,
talks are being handled in a way
to demonstrate his country's
"sense of responsibility" to the
West.
"We don't want to give the Rus
sians any propaganda weapons,"
Don Pepe said in an interview.
He declined to discuss expropria
tion of United Fruit Co. land by
the Communist-dominated govern
ment of Guatemala, but made
clear he didn't believe expropria
tion was any way to settle
problems.
Leader of a revolution In 1948
which kicked organized commu
nism out of Costa Rica, Figueres
has been blasted by the Reds from
one side, and Latin-American con
servatives from the other.
The reason for the dislike from
both sides is that he has repeatedly
said Latin-American nations must
give the United States their fullest
support in the cold war. And he
has declared many times that
'militarism, fascism and corrup
tion" are even bigger threats to
Latin-American well-being than
communism.
Depending on where you sit.
Figueres is a New Deal reformer,
or an impractical Socialist. Ask
him Just what he is politically, and
he replies, "I'm a democrat." He
says he has studied socialism a
good deal, but I don't believe In
socialization."
Figueres has bid for U.S. support
in bringing what he calls "social
justice" on an international scale
to the southern republics. He
doesn't think that foreign capital,
nermanentlv settled, is good tor
underdeveloped nations, oiten It is
a drRin on a small nation, he
believes.
Aid can come by loans and tem
porary Investments, he contends,
but the loans should be repaid, the
temporary investments liquidated
on equitable terms, and tne "per,
manent" type of investments re
patriated under agreements satis-
factory to both sides.
"Our peoples," he says, "should
not be forced by the weight of the
larger economies to sell their work
and their natural resources rela
tively cheap while they buy the
products of industrial countries
relatively dear. They should not be
exposed to the opening and closing
of markets, to controlled prices in
time of war and scarcity, and free
prices in times of peace and
plenty."
He believes technical assistance
should be continued and expanded
because Latin-America can make
the most of her resources only
through technical knowledge.
Costa Rica Itself has no grave
political problems. Figueres esti
mates the per capita income of his
people is from 150 to 200 dollars a
year. That looks good in some
areas of Latin-America, but to
Figueres the national income is
appallingly low,
"Costa Rican democracy suf
fered from social injustice; too
many poor and too few rich," says
Figueres, "too many people work
ing inefficiently; too few savings
and too little accumulation of cap
ital equipment; too few engineers
and too many politicians."
The program of U. S. educated
Figueres he attended Massacnu-
setts Institute of Technology has
a wide appeal in Costa Rica, which
elected him to the presidency by
a big majority and gave him the
biggest margin in Congress .any
chief executive has had in this
country.
But his opponents, and some of
his friends, fear his big majority
in Congress may cause him to
push reforms too last.
