Although an immediate unanimous diplomatic rupture with the Axis had been thwarted by Chilean-Argentine opposition. Statesman Welles and such other notable statesmen as Brazil's President Getulio Vargas and Foreign Minister Oswaldo Aranha, Mexico's Foreign Minister Ezequiel Padilla and Uruguay's Alberto Guanú had given new meaning to the term Americanism. They had preserved the moral unity of the 21 Nations, driven Axis diplomats from 19 of them, and throttled Axis trade.

He conferred daily with President Vargas, with taut, ascetic U.S. Ambassador Jefferson Caffery and with a stream of other diplomats, some of whom left the Palace with...
...Although Argentina remained neutral throughout World War I her neutrality was benevolently pro-U.S. and pro-British. For that, much of the credit goes to Sumner Welles. In Rio, Mr. Welles's diplomacy will be reinforced by the web of cooperation and compromise which Brazil's Oswaldo Aranha wove in a recent good-will trip to Argentina, Uruguay and Chile...
