Abstract

What Went Wrong at Bogota?
Inman, Samuel Guy | June 5, 1948 issue

add to cart   close window

The destructive violence, allegedly Communist-inspired, which flared during an entire week of the month-long Pan-American Conference in Bogota, Colombia obscured graver questions about the results of the conference itself. Worse than that, the conference as a rally for democracy against communism was fatally handicapped in the opening days, when its officers were selected. During the week that the delegates were gathering in Bogota there was much discussion of whether the conference should issue an anti-Communist, pronouncement. The leading advocate of such a declaration was the friend of Franco, Lauriano Gó mez, who was echoed by the delegates from all the dictatorship countries like Paraguay, Nicaragua etc.
