Washington-TPD-O u r rela
ionship with Latin America
is unique in a number of re
spects. This relationship has
been described as one of
"good neighbors" and more
recently as "good partners."
History as well as geogra
phy has helped to forge indis
soluble ties between the Unit
ed States and Latin America.
"We are proud of our joint
heritage of freedom and lib
erty, our broad identity of
aims and interests.
Adding further emphasis to
these ties, I would like to
call special attention to the
high degree of economic in
terdependence which charac
terizes our relationship with
Latin America.
This independence is in
creasing every year. It is a
matter of practical, pocket
book interest to all U.S. citi
zens. In recent years, our trade
with Latin America has been
greater than . that with any
other area of the world ex
cept Canada. This great ex
change of goods, valued at
approximately $8 billion a
year, is of tremendous impor

tance to the well-being of our
economy, as it is to the econ
omy of Latin America.
Understanding Necessary
This economic independ
ence makes it essential that
there be a greater mutual un
derstanding of the problems
which confront us particular
ly in meeting the demand for
improved standards of living
to which all peoples aspire.
Nowhere in the world, is
there a freater demand for
economic development than
from the people of Latin Am
erica. Their population is in
creasing explosively, approxi
mately 2.7 per cent per year,
the fastest in the world. Hous
ing and educational facilities
are inadequate. The countries
want to industrialize just as
fast as possible.

country in Latin America, I

heard similar expressions:

The list is long.
The U. S. is helping Latin
America to meet some of
these goals. Loans to Latin
American countries by the
United States Export-Import
bank totalled 2.2 billion dol
lars during the 10-year period
from 1948 to 1958. This rep
resented more than 40 per
cent of the total of all loans
made by the bank during that
time.
The United States stands
ready to make additional
loans for sound projects. How
ever, so vast and increasing
are the needs for capital in

enterprise rather than public
funds will undoubtedly be re-

sponsible for the greater part
of Latin America's future eco
nomic development.
Our neighbors, like our
selves, can be expected to
place their main reliance on
private initiative and invest-ment-both
domestic and for-eign-for
their economic
growth. Fortunately, in our
opinion, these private re
sources are not only available
to fill a need which public
resources simply are unable
to fill, but they also have
proven themselves to be effi
cient and effective down
through the years.
Investments Grow
In the past 12 years the
book value of direct private
United states investment in
Latin America has grown
from three billion dollars,
this accounting for more than
one-third of our total private
investment abroad. The rate
of flow has been about 600
million dollars annually, al
though the 1957 total reach
ed $1.3 billion. This flow can
be speeded up, provided con
ditions are established which
attract private capital.
Another major economic ob
jective of our Latin American
neighbors is to overcome the
adverse effects of sharp fluc
tuations in prices of their pri
mary export commodities.
The prices of raw materials,
which constitute most of Lat
in America's exports at pres
ent, are subject to wider fluc
tuations than those of manu
factured goods, and tend to
drop sooner and farther in
times of recession.
Problem Vital
The United States recog
nizes that this problem is vi
tal to Latin America, and we
are anxious to help solve it.
But there is no ready and sim
ple answer. The best approach
seems to be to sit down and
discuss each commodity prob
lem on a case-by-case basis,
hoping to find a pragmatic
solution. This is what we are
now doing in the case of cof
fee. But it must be recognized
that any plan which runs
counter to the fundamental
forces of the world market
will be useless in the long
run.
Fortunately, the awareness
that all of these economic
problems are indeed mutual
and that each, country must
work energetically and har
moniously to resolve them is
more widespread than ever
before. This sense of joint ef
fort is in fact now a dynamic
principle in the American
family.
If we can continue to work
together with courage, imag
ination, mutual respect and
understanding, then I suggest
that it would not be too naive
to expect the American fam
ily to demonstrate to the
world an effective means of
meeting the age-old chal
lenges of poverty, disease, se
curity and peace with justice,
without at the same time sac
rificing our cherished ideals
of freedom and the dignity of
the individual.

Dictators Seen Thing of Past
In Latin American Countries
By United Press International
The day of the dictator
seems slowly but surely to be
coming to an end in Latin
America.
Argentina, Colombia and
Venezuela, all of which tossed
out dictators within the past
two years, are moving grad
ually under Democratic re
gimes toward elimination of
conditions which breed totali
tarianism. Now that they have free
dom again after years of sup
pression, the peoples of these
countries are not likely to per
mit any strongman rulers to
gain a firm grip on them
again.
With the ouster of Cuba's
Fulgencio Batista on New
Year's Day, only three dicta
tors remain in Latin Amer
ica. They are Generalissimo
Rafael L. Trujillo, who has
ruled the Dominican Republic
for a quarter of a century;
Luis Somoza Jr., who took
control of Nicaragua after his
father was assassinated in
1956; and Gen. Alfrede Stroes
sner, who assumed power in
Paraguay in 1954.

In Argentina, Colombia and

Intelligence Loss
Greater Eight Years
After Brain Surgery
Washington, (Science Serv
ice)-Psychosurgery on mental
patients has been shown in a
long-term study to impair
their intellectual ability.
Previous tests indicated
that within 12 days after surg
ery the patients suffered no
permanent loss in "intellect
ual function."
The new study was carried
on with patients eight years
after they underwent surgery
and took the original tests.
Frontal Lobes Removed
In the psychosurgery, a por
tion of the brain's frontal
lobes about the size of a half
dollar is removed in order
to calm highly disturbed pa
tients. In this study, all were
schizophrenics.
The study was conducted
by Drs. Aaron Smith and
Elaine F.' Kinder, psycholog
ists at Rockland State Hos
pital, Orangeburg, N.Y.
Dr. Smith told Science Serv
ice that , these findings also
contradict a widely held be
lief that as far as intellectual
impairment is concerned it
does not matter which part of
the frontal lobes is removed.
According to the Smith-Kin
der study, the impairment
was more pronounced in cases
where the removal took place
in the rear of the lobes as
compared to the front.
There is some evidence, Dr.
Smith said, to indicate that
more nerve passageways exist
in the rear portion. Cutting
them is like severing a busy
telephone trunk line and caus-

the successors to the dictators
are mainly economic. In this
respect, the new regimes look
to the United States to help
them out with increased trade,
financial aid and foreign in
vestments. There is some resentment
in these countries toward the
U. S. government for its Latin
American policies and the as
sistance it has given the past
dictatorships. But the ill feel
ing has not curtailed the de
sire for better relations with
the United States, particularly
in economic matters.

Frondizi, who currently is on
a goodwill trip in the United
States, has had an uphill fight

way to pulling his country out

The situation in Colombia is

tator Gustavo Rojas Pinilla

country has returned to con

Controls Used
In the study, Drs. Smith
and Kinder tested 28 schizo
phrenics who had operations
and psychological tests eight
years before. As controls,
they worked 24 of the same
type of patients who had not
undergone psychosurgery but
who had also been tested eight
years previously.
The abilities scored in the
tests make up what Dr. Smith
called the "large concept of
intelligence." Some of the abil
