In the last chapters DR..
Eisenhower really comes to
grip with how this senSitivity
against United States inter-

doctrine on the hemisphere.
He makes it clear that the
determination of President
Eisenhower to abide strictly
by the principle Of nom
intervention held back de-

efforts to stimulate social
and economic reform in
Latin America.
DR.. Eisenhower frankly
admits that when he made
his first tour through Latin
America for the President In
1858, he and all his advisers
were thinking In terms Of
traditional economic aid to
developing economies. He
pointedly notes that not one
Latin American head Of
State suggested that this aid
should be tied to a radical
new program Of social and
economic reform.

But by 1858, DR.. Eisen-
hover was convinced that
without such reform United
States aid would have little
impact on the poverty
stricken masses Of the
southern continent. He
shows how gradually he and
top policy advisers in the
Eisenhower administration
added the new dimension Of
social welfare to United
States policy in Latin Amer
lea. The result was the new

say, "The Olive Fairy Book. I"
Nor did Mr.. Vasiliu let me
down. He writes with a
charming light touch, and
handles his material ele-
gantly-as elegantly as he
has been brought up and ed
ucated. He was a diplomat
at the Romanian Legation

communism in his native
country forced him to ask for

the richer for it. Mr.. Vasiliu,

In Latin American Revolution

The United States and Lat
In America. BY Milton S.
Eisenhower. doubleday;
$4.95.)
This book is must" read
ing for every North American
who wants to 60 behind pres
ent-day headlines to the real
crises facing inter-American
relations.
DR.. Eisenhower wastes no
time on verbiage. He comes
directly to the point in the
first line Of the book: There
is absolutely no doubt in my
mind that revolution is inev-
liable in Latin America"
For the remainder Of his
$50 pages he enlarges this
view by drawing on expert
ences Of the eight years when
he served as personal adviser
on Latin American affairs to
his brother, President Dwight
Eisenhower.
The Facts
Because the author is fun
damentally an academician
Che is president Of Johns
Hopkins University, he is
careful to base his analysis
on all the dreary statistics of
poverty, disease and injustice
which have become common
place in describing Latin
America.
But the author explored
behind these statistics with
both the humble and the
great during numerous top
level missions between 1853
and 1860. And because he
has a precise and attractive
grasp Of the English Ian
guage, his book makes fas-
cinating-and thought-pro-
voking-reading.
During the first chapters
he sets the stage for the STEP
by-Step evolution Of the radi-
cal change in United States
policy howard Latin America
during the last two years Of
the Eisenhower administra-
ton. He turns to recent and
not-So-recent history to show
the cultural and intellectual
arrangements in the hemi-
sphere. He devotes one full
chapter to the pressing prob
lem Of falling prices Of Latin
American raw commodity
exports. He bluntly attacks
the ignorance and callous-
ness in the press, and Con-
gress Of this country toward
Latin America, and also ex-
ploreS the distortions and
misunderstanding Of United
States motives perpetuated
in Latin America.

Starkey's book is so contrary
to what I suppose is the folk
lore Of witchcraft than that
the culprits who were hanged
were by no means predomi-

women. There were female
witches and male ones (wiz-

There were also a number
Of brave people who openly
said there was no devil and
no witches, and that the girls
could be cured by a thrash

neighbors were obviously as
possessed as those the girls
had identified. and they
hanged with the rest.
The detailed and vivid mar

the only weakness Of which,
for me, is little explanation
