For many yesra now, the peoples of Latin America have fought to gain their Independence from whatever domination or controlsUnited states of North Americatoupon then, all familiar withrelationsour countries with the United States of North America, and weall familiar with the long,proceaa by which wogained our measures of equality, sovereignity, independence and national dignity ln there gloriously fe ml liar with the battles we have weged and tho triumphswon, andmay look backward with aatlafaotlun on the gradual and hopeful aaoondency of Latin America, asae forward to the future forincreaalng importance and vigor for our nations, fhla upward climb of our peoples and our nations le dear to every one of us and nothing, nofrom outalde and no .alecaicuif.tun on our part, muat be allowed to arrest it.
Thet ls why we are summoning the men who love tholr natlone and who love freedom to thla congress againat Soviet Intervention In Latin Aaierloa. For, ln the process of our own liberation, there are elements ana segments of our peoples who have decided to further thia proceaa by calling uponthe political techniques and the ideological weapons of tne Soviet Union to accomplish the Leek. Inj-atln Aaterican country today,legrestof the people who believe In national augmentstlon through their own, properthereecond, end much smaller group, who labor undermisguided Impression thstin Communist form and from tbe Soviet Union may speedwork of strengthening theirend, finally, there ia in almost every Latin country an inflr.lte/oi jiaily email and Infinitely fanatical mlnorltj of Com-munlata who play on both tbe honorable, sentiments of tbe majority and the deluded sentiments of the second group, not In order tothe Interests of the natlona st all, but In order ultimately to deliver those nations over to Soviet intervention and Soviet
lt ia regrettable tbat this tiny minority of Communists should exist, beoause it Isthet sll our peoples do not shareself-confIdence and the belief ln their own powers thst encourages tnea to build our nstions with our own meana, without foreign It ia unfortunate thst our aoclal systems and our national prldonot so strong as to have restrained the tiny minority of
CHmmunists from vendingpatriotic allegianceoreign power. But, aince human beings are responsible for their actions, it la ln the laet analysis orimlnalrasll bend of individuals ln our countries should have so despaired of the deatiny of Latin America that tbey have aubordlnated their lives and their principles to thoseoreign power, tho Soviet Union. This state of offalra leaves us no choice, Indeed lt compels us to aot egalnat Sovietin our hemisphere.
Thereime, when the designs of tbe Soviet Union end the meaning of Comounism were not sufficiently clarified by Soviet Com-muniat practice,Tbttt lt waa understandable for aome members of our peoples to fall under tbe sway of Communist doctrine. As long as thoy wore effectively screened from the rest of the world, and ss long ae they were powerless on the international scone, the Soviets were sble to give an appearance of adher^lng ln praotloo to soma of tbo benlflcent slogans tbat they distribute in their propaganda. It is not without interest to note that the United States of North America themselves were seduced,easurable degree, by Soviet Communist blandishments end professions of peaceful, progressive intentions. Nor ls lt without interest to note that some of ourin Latin America only resumed diplomatic relations with tho Soviet Union at the behest of tbo United stetee, ao that. In these cases, our recognition of Communism was merely pert end parcel of whatever subservience to United States wishes we still possessed. But now we ore free to Juige end now we heve amplehet Comaunlsm ln hersn practice means ana portends. Now we aust rise and unite our voices and our actions sgsinst Soviet intervention in Latin America.
Of what use cen comaunlsm conceivably be to usV Can lt aaslst in any way the development of our neLionel traditions, our native customs and ourjlocel pride? Kusslalavic country, thousands of miles awey,race of Latin or Spanish influence in Its national or sociological or philosophical make-up. Vmsslaomblnstlon of deoadent European end primitive Asian thought and practice, whet has this-alleged model to offer to our Hlspanlo and -ndlan civilizations'/
Or do we believe that Com-aunlsm offers us guides towardthe public welfare? The people of the Soviet Union today, man for man, aro no better fed or bettor housed or better cered for oedl-oally tnan they were in thehen the Czarlst government was already grievously on the decline, ln the Soviet Union, the welfare of the State and of the ruling autocrats hea prospered mightily, of thet there can bo no doubt. The factories are for war; the public buildings ore for government officials; the privileges aro for the new Soviet bourgeoisie. But for the people, life goeB on

in pwverty-etrlcken monotony, without hope of relief. In view of theae known results of Coaaunlot practice in the Soviet Union, we cannot conceivably take Coaauniaaodel for the publicIn our nations.
Or do we look toward Soviet Communiaa for Ideological Llalectlcal ms te rial lea la the Ideology of the Icy professor* turned into even loler autocrats. It le the Ideology of unadorned, cold material toings, without rooa for eaotione or heart or soul or religion. And thie ideologyaeBing thing, wall passed the end of its growth and deep already on the road to Its final decline, rxlate like to forget thet the dialecticcyclea end oenturies beyond then, and that Coaaunlea will find and le finding Its antltheela as surely and Inevitably ae lte pre-deceoBor philosophies did. Lo wo than, give oureelvea overecaying professorialr do we develope the new thing, the answer to Comnunlaa, which Communist doctrine lteelf predicts will be forthcoming?
Or do ko look to Soviet Ooamunleo for lte meaning In the field ol human cMgnltyV i'hle question le alaoet too ridiculous to be pur-eued, beeauae we know whet woodenhet sterilehave been aade of the once exuberant viueelan people. now Loo well the Oommunitt conviction thet every man (except, of course, the tiny ruling clique) must be debasedroletariat, Instead of being lifted uptandard of personal dignity never hitherto attained in history.
rhat minority in our countries that condonee Communismetnod of national edvenceaent and thet tiny minority thet embraces communism for the sake of the Soviet Union heve fsllen prey to an ancient and tragic error* the confusion of the means with the ends, lt waa understandable, et given tlmea end et given places and under giver, circumstances,esperate and hungry people ehould have seized upon coauuniao to batter down aome of the Iniquities endof industrial society end Industrial power. eapon, Coauunlaa has, from tiie to tltae, served lte purpoee in enforcing the lluerallaatlon of capitalists end oomaerclel economic, eoclel end nuaan preotlcee. eapon Is never, never the staff ofeapon aaycan never build, eaponemporarynever le end never can be an end.
