Background information: This is a paraphrased excerpt from a speech given by Fidel Castro entitled "Second Declaration of Havana."

Since the end of World War II, the nations of Latin America have been consistently impoverished. The value of their per capita income decreases. The dreadful percentages of child death rate do not drop, the number of people who are illiterate rises, the citizens lack jobs, land, suitable housing, schools, hospitals, communication systems, and the means of subsistence.

On the other hand, investments from North America are more than 10 billion dollars. Moreover, Latin America supplies cheap raw materials, and pays high prices for manufactured items.
