Abstract

The Alliance for Progress plan proposed in March 1961 by President Kennedy is the means by which the United States seeks jointly with the other American states to achieve new heights of development in economic activity, health, education, and welfare standards, and hemispheric global political co-operation. After the first year of its op eration, economic programs have been implemented with loans and tariff and trade agreements, campaigns have been under taken to eradicate malaria and smallpox, and people-to-people projects in education have been exchanged and more planned. In political affairs, the result of the January 1962 meeting of foreign ministers at Punta del Este set new benchmarks for the security of the Americas. The goal of the United States is an America in which unity is derived from common devotion to the ideals of personal dignity and political liberty, in which strength is a shield to enable the free to remain free, in which progress is measured by the ever wider and fairer spread of opportunity, and in which peace, based on justice and equitable treatment of man by his fellow man, can be shared with the rest of the world.—Ed.
