...wrong to exaggerate the significance of diplomatic recognition, and it is doubly wrong to concentrate on it in our relations with the Soviet bloc. The Communists have several ways to press us-release of prisoners, trade, travel, etc. If we continue in the present vein, we will remain on the defensive, and the years to come will merely witness one retreat after another...

On paper at least, trade between the Latin lands and the Reds is indeed on the rise. In effect between various Latin American and Communist-bloc countries are a score of bilateral trade pacts calling for exchange of an estimated $500 million worth of goods in 1955-an imposing total considering that Latino-Red trade in 1953 amounted to only $70 million. But some flinty U.S. Government figures made public last week indicate that...
