...blow, Chile requested that Rockefeller's visit there be canceled. Again, like Caldera, President Eduardo Frei Montalva, a friend of the U.S., was influenced by threats of unrest in response to the Rockefeller visit. In any case, some Chileans felt that a visit from President Nixon's envoy would be superfluous: this week, Foreign Minister Gabriel Valdés, acting on behalf of all Latin American countries, will present the President with a common-stand position paper that proposes new foundations-particularly in the economic field-for U.S.-Latin American relations...
...Envoy Ennui. Though the White House maintains that Nixon is anxious to pick ambassadors with particular care, there are more than a few signs that the Administration simply has not been able to find men of the right caliber to fill such important posts. Tokyo was a case in point. After being turned down by at least four men, including John D. Rockefeller III and former Pennsylvania Governor William Scranton, Nixon selected a little-known career officer, Armin Meyer, who is experienced in Mideast affairs but a newcomer to the Far East. Unlike his two predecessors, who were influential with...
There were wounded feelings in other capitals besides Tokyo. The Argentines were chagrined when John Davis Lodge was shunted to Buenos Aires, after the notably uninterested envoy's appointment to the Organization of American States was overruled by Secretary of State William Rogers. At OAS, Joseph J. Jova, another minor-league professional, last week was named to replace Sol Linowitz, a successful lawyer-businessman with close ties to L.B.J. Latins fear this means that Nixon will downplay...
Common Market. Rocky's first stop this time out was Colombia, where reports of unrest and rioting on his arrival tended to be exaggerated. In Bogota, Nixon's envoy was briefed by President Carlos Lleras Restrepo and others who pointed proudly to their country's success in economic diversification. That achievement is symbolized by the reduction of the proportion of coffee in Colombia's export total from 70% to less than 50%. Still, Rocky's hosts complained that quotas and other restrictions have kept some of their new exports out of U.S. markets. One proposal...
...probably the first time that any Soviet envoy had so formally attacked the policies of the other Communist giant. Behind Tsarapkin's words was a warning: any further tightening of the profitable West German-Chinese trade links would be most unwelcome to the Russians. In Paris, Rome and Tokyo, Tsarapkin's colleagues were giving the French, Italian and Japanese Foreign Ministers roughly the same message. In Ottawa, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau also got the word. The intent was clear: China, no longer a brotherly socialist nation but instead a dangerous foe, should be expelled from the ranks...
