Abstract

Venezuela: Hour of Promise
Frank, Waldo | February 8, 1958 issue

add to cart   close window

The dictatorship in Venezuela has been broken by the people and by the students of Venezuela; and all Americans are glad, although the price was bloodshed, and the tyranny of nearly a decade have caused irreparable suffering and loss. The horizons of South America are clearer than they have ever been. In the last two years, the peoples of four major republics have risen against military regimes as cruel as they were clumsy and inefficient; today, most of every one of South America's states is being governed not by the sword of a military clique but by groups of men devoted to the proposition that the Americas shall be the home of free peoples.
