Flores, Edmundo | June 21, 1965 issue

add to cart   close window

The Alliance for Progress in Latin America, born a little more than four years ago, has undergone an ugly transformation and has entered a "hard' stage peopled by characters out of the Pentagon, CIA and the Marine Corps. Passwords now are military aid, counter-insurgency, civic action and armed intervention. The Brazilian coup and the occupation of Santo Domingo are the two better known, but by no means the only incidents of this hard stage. In 1960, Cuba demonstrated only too clearly that pressures for social and economic reform in Latin America were formidable. The defensive response of many frightened American nations was the Alliance for Progress.
