Rebuff Ahead. Despite the importance of the Viet Nam speech, other events converged on the President demanding his attention. His address on Latin America, which proved more pragmatic than inspiring, drew a mixed response south of the border. The General Electric strike posed a threat to the economy (see THE WORLD and BUSINESS). Nixon was stung by the Supreme Court decision insisting on the instant school integration that he had earlier termed "extreme...
...Organization of American States, and there was a sense of urgency in his call. U.S. relations with the nations to the south were at their lowest ebb in years. The U.S.-conceived Alliance for Progress had been a disappointment, if not an outright failure, and many disillusioned Latin Americans were seriously asking whether the U.S., preoccupied with Viet Nam and domestic crises, really cared.

Rocky's report, to be released soon, was described in Washington as considerably more far-reaching than Nixon's guidelines. During his tour, the Governor was told that Latin Americans are unhappy not only with the slow pace of development but also with the often domineering, paternalistic attitudes and policies...

Many countries view U.S. investment as a form of economic colonialism that extracts more than it puts in. "We will not encourage U.S. private investment where it is not wanted or where local political conditions face it with unwarranted risks," Nixon said. "But my own strong belief is that properly motivated private enterprise has a vital role to play." Nixon plainly had in mind Bolivia's recent nationalization of the U.S.-owned Bolivian...
