...American nation agrees that the Alliance for Progress is a brilliant idea and the money welcome, but almost no Latin American nation wants the U.S., as donor, to tell it what to do with the money. Addressing the Inter-American Press Association in Manhattan last week. U.N. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson made it abundantly clear that the U.S. intends to see its money matched by performance and progress. ''Self-help! That is the key to much of our common concern,'' said Stevenson. "If it were lacking, no amount of money in outside aid will do much good...
...area is reform more sorely needed, Stevenson indicated, than in taxation-"reforming tax systems to relieve the low-and middle-income groups, and ending the tax evasion which costs Latin American governments billions of dollars every year." Latin American nations themselves are hesitantly beginning to recognize the problem. In the first hemisphere meeting of its kind, 66 tax experts from every nation (except Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic) gathered in Buenos Aires last week to study ways of collecting the hidden harvest...
...censure. The grounds: Louw's speech had been "offensive, fictitious and erroneous." Precipitately, a ballot was taken and the motion carried by 67 votes to South Africa's 1, with 20 delegates abstaining and 9 (including the U.S.) "not participating" in the vote at all.

Adlai Stevenson has begun a highly effective series of Sunday afternoon talks on ABC. CBS Reports last week began its worthy three-part interview with Eisenhower (see THE NATION), and Commentator David Brinkley began sounding off on his own, opening his Journal with a mordant discussion that ranged from the U.S. outdoor billboard industry...
...Weary of delicacy and complexity in foreign affairs, they are, like Senator Goldwater, willing to assert that the cold war can be brought to a quick and satisfactory conclusion if only it is fought by men whose appearance is tougher and whose speech is harsher than Kennedy's, or Stevenson's, or Arthur Dean's. The reaction to General MacArthur's recall has shown how powerful a weapon against liberal treatment of diplomatic and military policy the victimized general can be. He has had too many guts, too much backbone, he must be dispensed with: it is a curiously compelling...
