Since President Janio Quadros took power in Brazil seven weeks ago, no one save Quadros himself has been entirely sure where Brazil's foreign policy was heading. Some of Quadros' countrymen accused him of planning to deliver Brazil into the neutralist camp; others, despite denials from Foreign Minister Afonso Arinos, thought Janio's overriding ambition was simply to pull a few tail feathers out of the U.S. eagle.

When Latin America's biggest nation refused to line up with the U.S. against Castro, the prospect of others doing so was vastly dimmed...
From most nations, the answer was a muted no. The only government to break with Cuba was the new right-wing junta of tiny El Salvador. More significant was the reaction of Latin America's largest nation Brazil. Its new President Janio Quadros recently journeyed to Havana to visit Castro, and though privately disillusioned, he is determined to show Brazilian independence. Brazil said a loud no to Guatemala. Another evidence of Brazil's new stance was its reception for Adolf A. Berle, visiting chief of President Kennedy's Latin American task force. Berle, who speaks Spanish...
