...Union. A drive by Mexico to rejuvenate the languishing Pan American Union confronted Ed Stettinius and his No. 1 political assistant, Nelson Rockefeller, with a challenge to their Hemisphere leadership.

Their great worry is: will they be the pawns of the Colossus of the North, or honored, respected associates? The test of Nelson Rockefeller's long and earnest efforts to win Latin American friendship will be whether or not this Latin worry is deflated at Mexico City. If this fear is not removed, no Western Hemisphere working arrangement will be durable.
