Herter told the Conference of Western Hemisphere Foreign Min isters at Santiago, Chile, thai the ferment of disorder, dispute, hos tility and threat in the Caribbean countries provide "just the oppor tunity international Communists are always seeking" to undermine Democracy in the', Americas. OmoiiotUM evidence that Com munist leaders in the Kremlin and Ked China are seckine to exploit Latin American unrest has! been accumulating steadily this 1 year. Latin Americans arc being giv en the "Rcd-Ca-)ct" treatment in Moscow and l'eiping. Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev and lied China strong man Mao Tse-Tung have lent their personal prestige to the drivfc. 'H Significant Signposts Here are some of the signifi cant signposts that have marked the Red campaign in the Irouble torn Caribbean as well as other Latin America countries beset by political hostilities and economic distress: During (he 21st Congress ol the Communist Party of the So viet Union in Moscow this year, delegate of IB Communist parties In Latin America were present a-.d were accorded an emphatic Red spotlight. Eleven of these del egates delivered addresses to the congress..- Reports from various sources indicate that their prob lems were accorded "preferential consideration."

A delegation of Communist Chinese journalists has toured Latin America. Their visit de veloped into a subtle campaign to hire local reporters in those countries to assist in preparing p:ooaganda broadcasts to Latin America. The delegation arrived in Cuba July S and was wel comed by a number of prominent Cuban officials.
