  • The Kennedy Administration's Alliance for Progress and the Burdens Of
    The Kennedy Administration’s Alliance for Progress and the Burdens of the Marshall Plan Christopher Hickman Latin America is irrevocably committed to the quest for modernization.1 The Marshall Plan was, and the Alliance is, a joint enterprise undertaken by a group of nations with a common cultural heritage, a common opposition to communism and a strong community of interest in the specific goals of the program.2 History is more a storehouse of caveats than of patented remedies for the ills of mankind.3 The United States and its Marshall Plan (1948–1952), or European Recovery Program (ERP), helped create sturdy Cold War partners through the economic rebuilding of Europe. The Marshall Plan, even as mere symbol and sign of U.S. commitment, had a crucial role in re-vitalizing war-torn Europe and in capturing the allegiance of prospective allies. Instituting and carrying out the European recovery mea- sures involved, as Dean Acheson put it, “ac- tion in truly heroic mold.”4 The Marshall Plan quickly became, in every way, a paradigmatic “counter-force” George Kennan had requested in his influential July 1947 Foreign Affairs ar- President John F. Kennedy announces the ticle. Few historians would disagree with the Alliance for Progress on March 13, 1961.

It is divided into two parts: the first an assessment of the economic situation at the beginning of 1961 and of the factors likely to affect developments in the remainder of the year; the second a factual account of developments in 1960. 2. Only the first part of the 1961 Survey is being considered by Ministers collectively. It has been discussed by the Economic Policy Committee, as well as by the Economic Planning Board. The draft which I now circulate incorporates suggestions made by both bodies. I invite the views of my colleagues upon it. 3. In order to save time in discussion I suggest that my colleagues should send me suggested amendments as soon as possible so that I can circulate before the meeting a list of amendments which I should like to accept.

At the beginning of this meeting you read a text to us. Had that text been agreed by all the Community Delegations, the British Delegation would willingly have accepted it, because it would have shown that the negotiations were being resumed in good faith and with a view to reaching a successful conclusion. Each of my colleagues around this table has expressed his view upon it, and I should like to offer some comments to my colleagues in this conference, perhaps for the last time.
