...George Messersmith, gets along with Juan Domingo Perón, the Argentine strong man who was elected President last spring despite U.S. frowns. Secondly, he believes strongly in the policy of non-intervention in Argentine domestic affairs (no more such frowns). This is not only a reversal of Spruille Braden's policy, which preceded Messersmith's advent in Argentina, but a reaffirmation of one of the cardinal aims of the Good Neighbor Policy, established by Franklin Roosevelt and Sumner Welles...
Private Chats. On the first point of his mission, George Messersmith has succeeded extraordinarily well-helped not a little by Juan Perón's intense dislike of Messersmith's predecessor, hulking, excitable Spruille Braden. Just a few days after his arrival in Buenos Aires last May, Messersmith was informed by an influential Argentine that Perón would welcome a private chat. The meeting was held, and was followed by similar get-togethers. The two men took each other's measure, and talked through the whole range of U.S.-Argentine problems...
...together such indifferent neighbors as the U.S. and Argentina on such everyday matters as the mails, hygiene, labor relations.

To the Perón crowd, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Spruille Braden and Capitalism (in that order) were to blame. Shrieked a Perón deputy: "Braden has a habit of arranging matters with his checkbook...
Jungle Tyranny. The vagaries of U.S. policy, to whose tune the banana dictators dance, helped tyrants hang on. Last winter, when Spruille Braden's blasts against tyranny were loudest, Dictators Anastasio Somoza of Nicaragua and Tiburcio Carías Andino of Honduras behaved almost like gentlemen. Jail doors swung open, the press spoke up, elections were promised. Now rumor whispered that Bradenism was on the way out (vigorously denied in Washington last week) and the Strong Boys were strutting again...
