add to cart   close window

The article presents the findings of the report by Joint United States Bolivian Commission on Bolivia. The findings, all things considered, are courageous; their proposals, progressive. If adopted, these proposals would give Bolivia a modern system of education, strong trade unions, good housing, a complete system of social insurance, and scientific nutrition. The Bolivian contingent on the commission was headed by the Minister of Labor, His Excellency, as he is described, Juan Manuel Balcázar. By some technicality Balcázar managed, despite the unanimity rule, to avoid signing the report. The report itself presents evidence which refutes the view that higher prices "would automatically" improve the condition of the workers.
