Q In some Latin American
countries people have be-
come cocaine addictS to
forget their hunger and
bitterness.
Instances like these were
yesterday cited by a Washing
ton educator, who for II
years was a teacher in various
Latin American countries, as
the reason for a frightening"
growth in communism in the
region south Of the Rio
Grande.
Mrs. Ruth Suse, known to
thousands of Latin American
children as "mamacita" or
little mother, told a lunch
con meeting of the League
Of Republican Women that
Red infiltration is less in
some countries, more in 9TH
ers," but the overall situa-
ton is grave enough to re-
quire immediate remedial
measures.
1.-THE reason communism
has been able to acquire q
strong foothold is that it
promises o better life to peo-
pie who are in the last stage
of poverty and degradation
she said.
Mrs. Suse stressed that
economic aid to Latin Amer
lea by this country should be
accompanied by "a better
understanding Of the people
there, (for1 unless we make
them feel that we appreciate
and like them, Wen not get
far with them"
The speaker suggested .
larger aid outlay by private
agencies working on the spot
in fun realization Of the
immediate and local needs
Of the population Govern
ment = to government aid
sometimes goes aStray in
transit" she cautioned.
"Abject poverty, disease,
primitiveneSs, ignorance. Su-
perstition - these are the
gnomes that stalk Latin
America, and a massive ef-
fort is required to combat
them" Mrs. Suse concluded.
