Moscoso's candid memo amounted to official recognition of a disturbing fact. Seventeen months after President Kennedy's stirring speech announcing the Alianza para el Progrcso, and a year after it was solemnly formalized by 20 hemisphere nations at Punta del Este, the program is in trouble. Latin Americans complain that the promised aid flows slowly. U.S. planners are discouraged by the manana attitude of many Latin American governments on the reciprocal social and economic reforms needed to make the U.S. aid dollars effective.

Last week the President defined the aim of Alianza para el Progreso in an article he wrote for LIFE EN ESPAÑOL. The U.S. Latin American policy goal will be achieved, said the President, "only when every form of tyranny-either despotic rule at home or domination from abroad -is driven from the hemisphere." Last week, even a Latin America preoccupied with pre-Lenten carnivals could see that the President was out to give substance to his words...
