27. I would like to say a few words about the importance which the Government of El Salvador attaches to the help it has received in the form of technical assistance and through the services of the Special Fund, for which it is most grateful. 28. Before summing up the programme of inter- American assistance, allow me to say that, despite the ill-intentioned distortions to be found in propaganda from foreign sources, the Americas are seeking, and finding, effective ways of promoting their economic and social development through plans of mutual co-operation. Those attacks are the outcome of a feeling of frustration and defeat on the part of the extremists, because the action envisaged in the plans is aimed at dealing calmly and boldly with our problems, and they know that as the plans are implemented their chances of success will dwindle and the banners of demagogy and deceit with which they try to dupe the people will be snatched from them.
