Abstract:

Current socioeconomic conditions in Latin America, the provisions of the Alliance for Progress, and the machinery for implementation of the Alliance for Progress are investigated. Emphasis is placed on the need for social change before any program of economic aid can be successful. Consideration is given to the fact that Latins have a culture which is different from ours and, consequently, one must expect them to adopt a system which is suitable for their own needs and not necessarily a mirror image of ours.
