...peaceful welcoming scene was a far cry from Rockefeller's two earlier missions to Latin America, where anti-U.S. demonstrations marred his consultations with local governments. But the calm in Brazil was scarcely a sign either of pro-American sentiment or of democratic stability in the country. It simply showed that the Brazilians had had sufficient warning, and had prepared accordingly. To forestall possible trouble, President Arthur da Costa e Silva's tough military regime had warned Brazil's press not to print anything unfavorable about the Governor's visit. It had also placed some...

Insistent Demands. Throughout the week, Rockefeller and his advisers listened to essentially the same demands that they had heard on their two earlier swings: more U.S. aid without strings and the lifting of U.S. import restrictions on Latin American exports to the United States...

Last week President Nixon decided to abolish the often criticized principle of "additionality," which, since 1965, has forced Latin Americans to buy American goods with U.S. aid money. Last year, 92% of the $336 million aid package to Latin America was, in fact, spent in the U.S., compared with only 41% in 1960.

Europe, he observes, has had only three successful coups-in Czechoslovakia, Greece and Turkey-during tie past 24 years. By contrast, numerous regimes in Africa and Latin America offer what Luttwak calls "gratifying" opportunities. So does South Viet Nam, provided that the U.S. winks at the plotters (as it did when President Ngo Dinh Diem fell...

Censorship of the press is hardly a rarity in Latin America, but Brazil's military-backed government seems more brazen about it than most. Instead of arresting, warning or otherwise punishing specific editors for printing articles that President Arthur da Costa e Silva finds offensive, the government is now flatly telling the nation's press how to handle stories in advance. Preparing for Nelson Rockefeller's scheduled visit to Brazil this week, the government ordered all editors to "collaborate in order to create a favorable climate for the stay among us of this representative of the Government...
