Complex Problems In Latin America
By PHIL NEWSOM DPI Foreign News Analyst LIMA, PERU — The Andes Mountains rise in a jagged, sawtoothed jumble at Lima’s back, dividing Peru into three worlds, the coast, the high sierra and the jungle. Lima, a mixture of the new and an ancient Spanish culture, lies on the first of these, the coast. It is the home of Julio Danta, a bright-eyed youngster who hopes to become a petroleum engineer. Andres Quisbe, a direct descendent of the Incas, lives in the second, the high sierra. He is one of six million who live in misery on pennies per day. Quisbe is addicted to the coca leaf, the source of cocaine, and he has no hope. But he is stirred by a vague and sometimes violent unrest The third world is the sparsely populated jungle, still in pre-his-toric days, its riches still untapped. These are the worlds that Peru must unite if it is to fulfill its future and escape the shadow of communism which seeks to engulf it. And time is pressing hard. Gets V S. Aid Peru’s allocations from the AlUiance for Progress so far total $123 million, much of which has not yet ben used by Peru’s caretaker military government. But the government is instituting land and government reforms and has promised free elections for June 9 to restore democratic processes interrupted by a bloodless coup last July. Immense wealth is concentrated in Lima, most of it in the hands of a few families. But there also is a burgeoning middle class emerging in an economy which is among the most diversified and stable in all of South America. Here there is no runaway inflation. The rise in the cost of living has been limited to one or two per cent per year. Gross national product is advancing at a rate of better than five per cent a year, comparingv favorably with most countries of the world. New Industry Grows In the last four or five years a new industry, fishing, has come to Peru. Fish meal pours an annual SIOO million into the Peruvian economy and is now Peru’s No. 1 export. Contributing nearly as rtiuch are cotton and copper. Also high on the list are petraleum and sugar. These are the symbols of Peru’s wealth. But symbols of her poverty are the adobe shacks which stretch out endlessly on the barren sands sloping downward toward the Pacific and Lima’s port of Callao. An Alliance for Progress housing project is going up here for the relief of Lima’s slum dwellers- It is called Ventanilla and is designed eventually to house 25,000 people. Some 2,000 are there now. But the S3O million project is 15 miles from the city and transportation is poor. Many who need it most connot travel that far. Nation’s Chiei Concern Andres Quisbe's village is called Huancarani. It is 20 miles from Cuzco, two and a half hours by air and centuries away from Lima. Quisbe's diet, such as it is, is a monotonous repition of corn, barley, beans and such tubers as the potato or the oca.

His solace is the coca leaf. Through centuries of descending misery, Quisbe has been Peru’s forgotten man, laboring for pennies on the cattle, coffee, tea or wheat plantations and living in huts amid the filth of his animals. Quisbe is the No. 1 concern of the military junta. And of the Lima politicians. Better Days Ahead Quisbe’s poverty is less than that of some, and a better life may be on the way. In La Convencion Province of Cuzco Department, in late March, the government began distribution of 6,000 acres of land taken- over under the land reform program. More will follow and along with it will come teachers to supply modern methods and pools of farm machinery to work the land more efficiently. Among the 200 U.S. Peace Corps workers in Peru, approximately 40 are assigned to the Cuzco area. Primarily they work now under the U.S. Food for Peace program. Later will come teachers and engineersAt another day will come roads into the Andes valleys and into the jungle. And on that day, Peru will begin the .union of its three worlds.
