Nixon Likely to Recommend
important Changes in u. S.
on Latin America
ALWAYS IMPORTANT IT IS NOW IN
TOP PRIORITY POSITION, He SAYS.

WASHINGTON, (UP). Vice
President Richard M. Nixon ap.
peared likely today to recon-
mend important changes in U. S.
policies toward LATIN America
when he makes his formal report
to President Eisenhower.
The nature of these changes

on in his first public. appearances
following a triumphant welcome
home greeting Thursday.
But he said the United States
must reappraise its Latin Ameri-
can policies. He said he told
President Eisenhower and Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dulles
at a White House lunch that Latin
America has moved from an
area in which it was always inn
portant up to a top priority po-
sition".
He said the riots which attend
ed his visits to Lima, Peru and
Caracas, Venezuela, SHOW that
part of the world heeds more at
tention than it has been receiv-
ing.
The Vice President disclosed
he was planning to give the Presi-
dent a written confidential report
in the near future. He said he
was willing to give his views pri-
yately to interested congressman
but did not expect to testify be-
fore any committees.
A ~generalized Nixon report will
be made public within the next
few weeks, but no nationwide
radio-television report to the peo-
pie was planned.
Sources close to South Ameri-
can affairs said much of the hard
feelings there were the result of
stiffening congressional resistance
to reciprocal trade agreements
and increasing use of tariffs to
impede movement of South Amer
lean products to the United States.
Nixon said, however, he saw no

NEW YORK (UP)- Under the
title "The Lessons of Caracas" the
Herald Tribune publishes today an
editorial, which says in part;
"The ill wind that met Vice
President Nixon in South America
may yet, by paradox, blow a boon
to the Republic, and to the hemi-
sphere.
'The insults and the attacks
upon him were, as the Vice-Presi-
dent said at his welcoming cere-
mony in Washington, "the work
Of a vocal an violent minority" It
is also true, as he said, that the
majority of the people in all the
eight countries he visited are
friendly to the United States, and
regard it as their own best friend
and customer. They will be sorry
as our own people for what hap
pened.
"But two boons that will flow
from it are these:

tails from PERU, followed trade po-
licies which have reused even our
stanchest ally, Canada, to anti
American retaliations.
"We have not done nearly as
much as we should have done in
helping the have-not areas enter
the chronological age. Until We'd
nesday, it was not even clear that
Congress would pass the inadequa-
tie foreign-aid bill before it. At
least one bonus of Caracas was
that it went through the House

eve have not done nearly as
much in the whole world economic
r as our assumed role of leader
ship requires. While we debate
whether we will spend less than
81 billion on actual technical as
sistance, the have-not nations
which are also the raw material
supplying nations = have lost over
81 billion in income because of
falling commodity prices. This, in
turn, is setting off a decline in
the exports of our allies. Britain,
which banks 40 per cent of the
free worlds trade on 4 per cent of
its gold reserves, hovers on the
chronic edge of financial difficult
ty. But at the same time we act as
if we could afford the luxury of a
recession which has already cost us
as much industrial production as
all of Italy's - and has seen the
Communist worlds steel produc-
ton surpass ours for the first time
in history not because our capa-
city is less but because we now
use only half Of it.
"These, then, are the lessons Of
Caracas, that we must develop
more of an overall strategy = eco
nomic, diplomatic, military, psyche
LOGICAL - which has a long range
and coherent philosophy. We need
to work more closely in the com
mon interest with our neighbors
in Latin America; we must not
give the impression Of caring more
about Europe the Middle East and
Asia. We need a Congress which Is
capable of putting the overall IN
~terests of the nation, and of ex.
panding world trade, above those
of a Seattle tuna-fish Gamer q
Brooklyn toy maker, or an East
Liverpool crockery maker. We
must find, in short, the wisdom and
maturity to fulfill the enormous
responsibilities Of world leadership
which we cannot avoid, and whiaf
we cannot fail save at the peril d
our national existence.

Serafino Romualdi, representa-.
tive of the American Federation
OF Labor and the Congress of In
dustrial Organizations (AFL-CIO)
for Latin America, who accompa-
MED Nixon in his tour to Buenos
Aires; Robert Alexander, professor
OF economy of Rutgers University,
author of Communism in Latin
America, and Francis Grant, Sc
cretary of the Inter American AS
ISOLATION for Democracy and Free
dom, participated in the same pro-
gram.
Among the general conclusions
the following were the most impor-
tant:
The incidents of Lima and Ca
racas in which Nixon was involv-
ed were caused by communists,
but this could have not happened
if these countries had not resent
ed the economic and political po-
licies of the United States toward
Latin America.
This group of experts consi-
ders that the communists had in
Lima, definitely, a very active par
ticipation in the demonstrations
against Nixon and in this they
worked in coordination with men,
bers of the previovs regime desir-
GUS to create difficulties to the
government of President Manuel
Prado.
The experts estimated that
the demonstrations in Venezuela
were of a more ample nature.
Professor Alexander said that the
demonstrations a-g ainst Nixon
seemed to reflect in the minds of
the people that the dictatorship
of Marcos Perez Jimenez was sup
ported by the United States.
Finally, the experts recommend
ed that the United should help to
create a Latin American econo-
mic system and an Inter American
Development Bank, to help Latin
America solve their problems.

Don't BLAME ALL ON REDS,
PAPER WARNS

LONDON. May Is -(UP)-The
influential "The times" warns the
United States today not to blame
communist entirely for the recep-
tion of Nixon in Latin America.
"The resentment against the
United States in South America
essentially results from a feeling
that the United States is evading
moral responsibility of doing more
to aid the economy, often shaky,
of those countries" the newspaper
says in an editorial.
Latin Americans maintain that
the United States expects uncon-
ditional support from then in any
international question, but all the
us. does in exchange is to lecture
them on the need to resist COM
muniSm.
Latin Americans argue that the
US. could give them an effective
arm against communism, helping
them to raise their standard Of IL
wing.
''The Times" points out in parti-
cular the bitterness of II coffee
producing countries of Latin Ame-
RIGA, which have seen prices drop
to a dangerous level, due to the
trade policies of the United States.
It also points out that high ia
riffs have virtually stopped wool
imports from Uruguay, and that
metal producing countries, such as
Peru and Bolivia, face now 'prohi-
hitiYep tariffs on lead and zinc.
