Pope's visit spurs political truce
By United Press International
QUITO, Ecuador — Pope John Paul II arrived in Ecuador Tuesday with a temporary truce declared in his honor by bitterly feeding politicians, labor leaders and high-ranking church officials.
Only hours before his arrival, the pope gave a vigorous defense of workers' rights in Ciudad Guayana, his final stop in Venezuela, the first country to pontifex current four-nation tour in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Five people died in Ecuador two weeks ago when a two-day general strike was declared to protest homeland and transportation price hikes.
Labor and government leaders tacitly have agreed to a temporary truce on disputes over the prices and minimum wages until after the pope has left. Congress has postponed for a week its plan to impeach the natural resources minister for alleging raising prices illegally. THE RUMMY NUMBER
THE GOVERNMENT ALSO is delaying action until after the pope leaves on the possible expulsion of
two Italian priests, accused by a provincial governor of "training guerrillas."
The Ecuadoran Episcopal Conference has denied strongly the charges
In *Cidad Guayana*, the pope, besides defending workers' rights, warned against the mistreatment of women between rich and poor, especially in the Third World.
"HOW LONG WILL man, and the men of the Third World, have to put unjustly with the precedence of economical justice in order to enable human rights and in particular the rights of workers and their families?" the pope asked.
The pontiff, who worked in a chemical factory before he became a priest, told factory workers and their families in Ciudad Guayana, Venezuela. They were encouraged society's idea of economic progress must be changed to protect workers.
His speech came on the fourth day of a 12-day visit to Latin America, during an outdoor mass celebrated in Cludad Guayana, a boom town built near the Orinoco River in 1961 to take advantage of the region's mineral wealth.
Turnout for the mass was fewer than the 500,000 authorities expected.
The turnout was lessened because the city's big iron and steel works did not close down for the occasion. Workers said furnaces powering the plants must be kept running 24 hours a day.
THE MASS WAS celebrated under a huge yellow canopy on a sandy field with the Orinoco River in the background.
The pope made it clear he was speaking to workers all over Latin America and especially to Third World countries.
one great differences in social position and wage privileges between some and the others are disproportionate," the pope said. "Work is one of our greatest pleasures, but it is a wealth to be enjoyed by all... and not by just a few."
The pope, whose Polish homeland was thrown into turmoil over clashes between the communist government and the banned Solidarity trade union, warned that efforts to ensure workers' rights "must always take the limitations imposed by a nation's general economic situation."
