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...

...sort of abandoned-by-Britain feeling. Cuba's Castro and Soviet Premier Khrushchev sent well-wishers. The U.S. substituted AID Director Fowler Hamilton for busy Arthur Goldberg, hoping to interest Trinidad in joining the Organization of American States and so becoming eligible for Alianza para el Progreso assistance.

Only they, he warned, "can mobilize their resources and modify their social patterns...

Last week the President defined the aim of Alianza para el Progreso in an article he wrote for LIFE EN ESPAÑOL. The U.S. Latin American policy goal will be achieved, said the President, "only when every form of tyranny-either despotic rule at home or domination from abroad -is driven from the hemisphere."
