A superb piece of organization for a scholarly, statistical report on social conditions in Latin America, which should be a ""must"" for anyone, statesman or layman, with interest in the economic and social present and future of South America.

The impact of the war is surveyed in relation to housing, health and food programs. Finally, recommended policies and implements are presented on the basis of conditions new and the changing attitude of the U.S. Charges, tables, statistics verify the conclusions; recommendations are conditioned by acceptance of the ideology of the Good Neighbor Policy. In its field -- tops.
