We must never forget that it was Spain that discovered the New World. that explored and colonized large areas of it. including a very considerable section of our own United States. We must also remember that 19 of the Latin American nations were molded by Spain and share Spains culture. traditions. religion and. to a great extent. her character. These basic factors have been continuously maintained by immigration of Spaniards and by the meritorious work of the Spanish clergy. both regular and secular. in Central and South America. The Spaniards are in this sense part and parcel of the New World. and we should try to. utilize their knowledge. ability. experience. and proven adaptability to Latin American countries to the fullest in our joint effort for the development of this triple continent. Secretary Rusk during his visit to Madrid last year stated that our relations with Latin America should be of triangular nature. having one of its pivots in Madrid. and I heartily agree.
