...basic principle of the Alianza is that government aid and free enterprise should work together as neatly as a pair of greased pistons. In practice, it is becoming increasingly evident that the pistons tend to get stuck. The Alianza actually works to the detriment of free enterprise, argues Guillermo Moscoso, a United California Bank executive and cousin of Teodoro Moscoso, U.S. representative in the Alianza's inter-American committee. After a three-month study of Latin American economies, Moscoso concluded that government-to-government programs operate "to the exclusion of the knowledge, power and wealth that free enterprise could...
...restore peace. But the violence raged on. Besides military action, President Alberto Lleras Camargo tried buying off the bandits; one leader collected $15,000, then hurried back to the hills, where he ran his grisly toll to 592 murders before he himself was killed last year.

The senseless slaughter goes on although the Liberal and Conservative parties agreed to a truce in 1957. President Guillermo Leon Valencia, a Conservative, has pressed the search for known bandits; but the campaign to hunt them down appears to make some bandit chieftains all the more savage. Until the roadside massacre, Aranguren usually released his robbery victims, but after slaughtering the 42 men, he gave the survivors an ominous...
...Catavi, the country's largest single tin-mine complex, seemed a good place to start. It accounted for 30% of Comibol's operating losses, and half of its 7,000 employees were superfluous. "Be firm, don't weaken," Paz Estenssoro said to Comibol's President Guillermo Bedregal...
