Thanks. 
I set (org-export-preserve-breaks t) in .emacs file and it does preserve
the breaks, but not the white spaces: it doesnt indent depending on the
nesting in the org-tree, and it doesnt indent if I press
<space>. The text is shown to the left mode of the
screen. 

Is there a way to change that?
