LATIN AMERICA. Labor Between Bread and Revolution.

The problem confronting Latin American labor can be defined in one estimate and one fact. The estimate is that by the year 2000 the population of this area will be 600 million, two and a half times the present figure. The fact is that the grain situation is today drastically worse than it was in the 1930s. Thirty years ago, the twenty nations of Latin America exported more grain than any other area in the world, today they are net importers and their per capita output has declined by 16 per cent.
