...Alliance for Progress could merely help Duvalier to help himself, or could do tremendous good for the country, where the densest population in Latin America starves on unarable soil. Technical aid in conservation could halt the erosion that has left only one-third of the country cultivable, but the Point Four program has failed here because it has substituted symbolic gestures for real aid. Unfortunately, a birth control program, although one of the most effective kinds of aid must, temporarily, be left to the Roman Catholic Church in Port-au-Prince, and the Voodoo leaders of the interior...
