...legislator or from Prime Minister Diefenbaker-but Kennedy had expected none. Canada is in no hurry to join the OAS. Still the President had done what Canadians have often accused the U.S. of not doing. He pointedly singled out Canada for his first foreign visit to assure the northern neighbor of U.S. concern for its problems and respect for its increasing importance. He also hoped to make sure that the Canadian government was sympathetic to the U.S. Administration. At week's end, it seemed...

Paradoxically, these interventions strengthened the principle of nonintervention. After Franklin Roosevelt proclaimed the Good Neighbor policy, Latin American nations persuaded the U.S. to sign ever-stronger pledges of nonintervention.

In Chicago, the conservative Tribune reprinted a few Kennedy campaign promises-"I am not satisfied to be second to outer space," "I am not satisfied to have the deadly hand of Communism extend to our former good neighbor in Cuba"-and found those promises "very empty." Detroit's Republican-leaning Free Press pasted the President with scorn: "President Kennedy by his words and actions conveys the idea that he sits with his finger resting against the panic button and doesn't quite know how to draw...
