...Scarborough Conference rejected that policy in explicit terms, overruling it by a vote of 3,339,000 to 3,042,000.

Vice-Presidential Candidate Henry Cabot Lodge), John Moors Cabot lost a job once because he just as bluntly urged that his country give more to Latin America. Two weeks before the 1954 Inter-American Conference in Venezuela, he clashed with the late Secretary of State Dulles and Treasury Secretary George Humphrey, who believed that private investment should provide most of the money in Latin America.
