Joint Responsibilities for Latin American Progress

THESE are decisive years for Latin America's economic, social and political future and for its relationships with the great powers. Time is running out, and much of it has al ready been lost, especially by those in Latin America who have been hoping vainly for external solutions to our problems; it has been lost, too, by those who advised us from abroad to ensure the free play of economic forces so that our development could be strongly supported by foreign private enterprise. It is not that a clear vision of the problem has been lacking. There is a growing conviction in Latin America that, while we do need ample international cooperation, development has to be brought about by our own efforts and our own determination to introduce fundamental changes in the economic and social structure of our countries
