That criticism is all too valid. From Teddy Roosevelt's big-stick diplomacy to Franklin Roosevelt's genial Good Neighbor policy to John Kennedy's ambitious but disappointing Alianza para el Progreso, the U.S. has long tended to treat Latin America like an entity. In fact, the area never has been and never will be a package deal...
Less than two weeks after winning its independence, Kenya became embroiled in bloody conflict with Somalia, its northeastern neighbor. Prime Minister Jomo Kenyatta declared a state of emergency in the border region, where nomadic shiftas (raiders) from Somalia have recently stepped up their attacks on a part of Kenya that is inhabited by Somalis. The government set up a five-mile-wide buffer strip along the ill-defined border, where, it claimed, shiftas "steal cattle, beat women, threaten to murder tribal chiefs and others"; last week four tribesmen were killed and eight were injured in one raid. Kenya...
Weight of Numbers. The words were among the most sensible any U.S. President has uttered about Latin America since Herbert Hoover proposed the Good Neighbor policy in 1928.* Until now, Inter-American Assistant Secretaries-including Mann himself in 1960-61-have been little more than a long, grey line of well-meaning but frustrated fellows. President Kennedy tried to solve the problem by sheer weight of numbers. In no particular order, and often simultaneously, he divided Latin American responsibility among the likes of old Roosevelt Brain-Truster Adolf A. Berle, Speechwriter Richard Goodwin (who coined the term Alliance for Progress...
Abroad, the most immediate problem is a violent quarrel with Kenya's northeastern neighbor, Somalia, which lays claim to the barren but extensive Northeastern Region, inhabited by 200,000 Somalis (see map). To diminish such quarrels, Kenya is earnestly pushing an East African Federation of Kenya with Tanganyika and Uganda, which would create a nation of 25 million people and might eventually be extended to such small states as Zanzibar, Nyasaland, Rwanda and Burundi. Internationally, Kenya will, of course, be neutralist and accept aid from both East and West...
...President conferred with Mann today. Officials said that he told Mann he wants him to take the best parts of the good-neighbor policy laid down by the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Alliance for Progress launched by the late President kennedy, and use them as guidelines to eliminate poverty, illiteracy, and disease from the Western Hemisphere...
