Revolt in Iquitos Lima, Per February 22, 1956 R
NOT FOR PUBLICATION INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIKS WH American Embassy Revolt in Iquitos Lima, Per February 22, 1956 r. Walter S. Rogers Institute of Current World Affairs 522 Fifth Avenue New York 36, New York Dear r. Rogers: For .the last month Peruvian politics had been following a predictable pattern of violent verbal attacks delivered by govern- ment and oppoSition speakers against their enemies. Pedro Rossell6 and his cohorts took a swing through the politically powerful northern coastal region. The pro-government Partido Restaurador held big rallies in the southern provinces. The government appeared to be paying heed to the demands of the opposition by relaxing the Law of Internal Security of the Republic and de- claring a partial political amnesty; anti-gov.ernment attacks were overlooked, and opposition parties and papers were allowed to operate in relatively complete freedom. To many people it looked as though Per was going through a violent political campaign which would ultimately end in dmocratic presidential e.!ections this June third. Then, on the afternoon of Friday, February the sixteenth, the government suddenly reversed its lenient attitude. In a series of well-planned moves, the Odrla police arrested Bedro Beltrn, direc- tor of LA PRENSA, Pedro Rossell6, leader of the Coalici6n Nacional, and other opposition figures. Those who wished to save their skins fled to the protection of foreign ebassies in the city or to the provinces. A moderate form of martial law was declared. Reason for the abrupt about face, said the government, was the revolt on February sixteenth of certain elements of the Divisi6n de la Selva (Forest Division) stationed in the jungle city of Iquitos.

Este proceso parte de la captación de datos verificados que luego exige un trabajo de seria consistencia estadística y analítica de aquellas variables que confluyen en la actividad productiva. En esta línea de trabajo y en el contexto de una creciente participación de la agroindustria y agroexportación en la economía nacional, la Dirección General de Información Agraria del Ministerio de Agricultura (DGIA) ha realizado un Registro de Productores de Vid en el Perú. Nuestra preocupación al momento de elaborar este registro comienza por actualizar información que tenía data del año 1994, la cual no daba respuesta certera a las consultas que se tenían sobre un sector tan dinámico como el de producción de vid. Gracias a la coordinación realizada con la Asociación de Productores de Vid para Mesa, Piscos y Vinos de la Sociedad Nacional de Industrias, el Ministerio de Agricultura ha llevado adelante este censo que ofrece información relevante para los interesados en el tema y a quienes compete tomar decisiones respecto a inversiones o medidas facilitadoras de la actividad productiva.
