U.S. FOREIGN POLICY IN THE CARIBBEAN By Pat Holley In July of last year, two special United States 'good will" diplomats visited Latin America-Dr. Milton S. Eisen hower, the President's Latin American economic advisor, and -Vice President Nixon. Both men were welcomed to Latin America with anti United States demonstrations featuring such slogans as "No tanks, no arms," "Milton, the canal is ours," and "More aid instead of plans." Some observers say that these demonstrations were Communist - inspired. Others say the demonstrators were simply politically-minded uni versity students voicing their opinions. Still others believe that the , demonstrations re sulted from a combination of the two factors - Communist sympathizers inspired univer sity students to stage the dem onstrations. Unsuccessful Policy But whatever the - inspira tions, - these demonstrations indicate an unsuccessful Unit ed States foreign policy with regard to Latin America-unsuccessful in that our foreign policy obviously cannot claim full sympathy and support of Latin American public opin ion. - The cause for our failure might be found in history. The history of our foreign policy with regard to Latin America since 1913 has not emphasized Latin American public opin ionthere has been no cam paign to improve the Latin American peoples opinions of the -United States. We have, since 1913 at least, tended to be concerned only with our attitudes toward them. Our attitude from 1913 to 1921 was embodied in the Panama policy, which tried to protect the Panama canal by warding off European in tervention. Our attitude from 1921 to 1933 reflected the pe riod of the Liquidation of Im perialism during which we tried to end the habit of Unit ed States intervention of La tin American affairs that characterized the years when we were trying to forestall European intervention. Then came the Good Neighbor pol icy from 1933 to 1958 which tried to establish a hemisphe ric society-the United States and Latin America both liv ing in friendly harmony un der one roof. Whatever our policies have been with re gard to Latin America, we have not paid much attention to the popular attitudes with regard to us, nor have we been concerned with what kind of an impression we were creating with our policies. time. At 1 p.m. the feature, "Gyp sy Colt" and several comedies were shown in the theater. Those attending were the four teachers, Mrs. Alec Rut ledge, Mrs. L. E. Jeter, John Fenton and Aristeo Perez, and the following parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. Marin, Mrs.. Vic Van de Weghe, Mrs. Ed Staley, Mrs. Scott Lee, Mrs. Tony Marin, Mrs. Doug Whittaker, Mrs. Gilbert Luper, Mrs. Fred Haynes, Mrs. Don Powers, Mrs. R. M. Cavin, Mrs. Robert Preston, Mrs. Gerald Gould, Mrs..James Cain, Mrs. Adolph Zanotto, Mrs. Gino Trinca and Mrs. Al Simmen, general chairman of the event. Mrs. Harvey Fry and chil dren, David and Susan, re turned home Saturday from Reno where they had "been visiting relatives for the past two weeks. . The July 1958 anti-United States demonstrations seem to show that we should be con cerned with the Latin Ameri cans' attitude toward us. When two such prominent men as Dr; Eisenhower and Vice President Nixon . are threatened by groups demon strating anti-United States at-titudes-especially when these two men were visiting in an effort to strengthen "friendly ties"" between, the .United States : and Latin America there is a definite need to cor rect these attitudes in order to strengthen the brotherly cooperation our foreign poli cy has as its avowed objective. Perhaps the answer is . for our-foreign policy to initiate a . type ' of ""public - relations campaign - to correct these anti - United States attitudes. The campagin could be direct ed ' toward all Latin . Ameri cans - and it could center around a theme of bettering their opinion of - the United States. - One course of action in this campaign would be to inform Latin Americans.; of the pur poses governing our policies. As Dr. Eisenhower said after he returned from his "good will" tour of Latin America, the United States should con sider "the urgent, and imme diate need to bring about throughout the hemisphere a clear, accurate understanding of United States policies, pur poses programs and capabili ties." Show of Respect In the same sense, while we inform the Latin Americans of our policies, we could eas ily improve their opinions of the United States by showing more clearly that we respect their demands and attitudes. As the Latin American editor for a foreign relations jour nal said, the United States should carry to the world a message - of respect for all mankind. This message, he said, could be the source of our power., By publicly de emphasizing economic assist ance programs: and' putting greater emphasis upon our concern about Latin Ameri cans' demands and attitudes, we could gain this respect. There is at least some hope that this public relations cam paign working around - a theme of bettering Latin American , attitudes- towards us would be effective. ' The campaign could be ren dered effective by the utiliza tion of agencies existing in our government and those working in the hemispheric organizations. Through Con gress and the Organization of American States (similar to the United Nations organiza tion but limited to countries in the Western Hemisphere) committees could investigate the channels which would best carry our messages-the channels of propaganda, in formation and education. The messages would explain our policies, emphasize our re spect for Latin American peo ple and hammer home the idea that we are deeply con cerned over them and want to do something about their discontent. Missions Suggested In addition,1 through the OAS we can cooperate with diplomats from various areas in Latin America to send out our own full-time representa tives on fact-finding missions such as those of Nixon and Eisenhower. These represent atives could gain first-hand information about the needs of these areas and the atti tudes of the people towards the United States. This would help gain information to br used in handling our diploma tic missions with more insight into the real problems which 20 Years in Medford!
