32. In accordance with its principles, El Salvador, as a developing country, is making a systematic and concerted attempt to achieve just social and economic standards for its working classes through better distribution and channelling of its productive resources and through its trade relations with other nations. My Government has given clear proof of its adherence to this policy by its real concern for the balanced development of the Central American countries and its effective co-operation in the establishment and promotion of an increasingly solid economic structure in keeping with our production and trading capacity, within the integrationist framework. 33. However, our zeal and concern to improve conditions in a short space of time by dint of joint sacrifice have not always been successful. In many cases, lack of under standing on the part of economically powerful countries has destroyed the high hopes for progress of the under-developed countries whose one crop primary economies have been overwhelmed by unjust market policies.
