U.S. Inattention to Latins Cited Highlights Latin American Communism
A Senate Foreign Relations Committee private study warns the United States has neglected Latin America. It says Communist penetration is not alarming but near Guatemala in 1954 and possibly Cuba now. It urges stronger State Department effort, more exchanges, increased economic aid, and greater access to Latin American raw materials. The report notes university infiltration and labor union influence, with 210 000 to 230 000 Communist party members across Latin America, versus 500 000 in 1947.

He was in Puerto Rico to study sugar planters seeking a four year extension instead of a one year renewal.
