...Sending Governor Rockefeller to Latin America [June 6] is similar to talking of twine in the house of the hanged. The Rockefeller empire stretches from practically one end of Latin America to the other, representing the powerful wealth and prosperity of the U.S. and everything that goes along with it. This "fact-finding mission," nothing more than a gesture of appeasement to Latin America, has become a double slap in the face...
...money goes for arms for North Viet Nam and oil for Cuba, which are items that advance Soviet diplomatic aims. The U.S.S.R. until recently supplied one-fifth of the Italian party's $10 million budget, helps the Indians financially, subsidizes the illegal party of West Germany and supports the Latin American parties. Danish Communist leaders get three free suits a year made in East Germany, and some parties get a rake-off on whatever trade or tourism their countries do with the Soviet Union...
...halfway mark, Nelson Rockefeller's four-part series of fact-finding missions to Latin America for President Nixon has a depressing record. He has visited ten countries so far, been confronted with anti-U.S. demonstrations of one sort or another in five, cut short his stay in one because of threats of rioting - and been disinvited by three. It is a bitter box score, but it contains one encouraging ingredient. Rocky's troubled receptions have probably done more to dramatize the sorry state of U.S.-Latin American relations than anything since Richard Nixon's own tumultuous...
...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...
With Understanding. Neither the State Department nor the Governor were surprised by the wave of Latin American protest and rebuff. Rockefeller had not expected cancellations, but he treated them with understanding. "As one Latin American said to me, 'You've gotten us off the back pages and onto the front page in the United States,'' the Governor told TIME last week. He added: "After the past six or seven years, without strong and clear policy direction on the part of the U.S., our relations have seriously deteriorated. Things will get progressively worse if we continue...
