Diplomatic butter in the form of $120,000,000 credit was served last March to Brazil's Foreign Minister Oswaldo Aranha. Beady-eyed, flap-chinned General Goés Monteiro was on a military mission, returning the visit U. S. Brigadier General George Catlett Marshall had just paid him. That capable soldier-diplomat was dispatched to Brazil after authoritarian-minded Goés Monteiro began toasting the discipline, glory and honor of the German Army and had accepted an invitation to review Nazi troops. Last week the U. S. War Department, announcing its plans to toast Goes Monteiro this...
Pedro de Goés Monteiro is a hard-drinking ex-cowboy who worships Napoleon, has false teeth, and in part owes his rise to Oswaldo Aranha.

Secretary Hull had a bug, too, but omnipresent Under-Secretary of State Sumner Welles took good care of Dr. Aranha. The Navy's impending war game emphasized Brazil's importance in a war involving "hemisphere defense" (see p. 12), and Dr. Aranha stated that in any "international civil war," Brazil would be on the U. S. side, "Absolutely!" His major contribution to U. S. news columns was that the "old" Germans in Brazil...
...very present possibility for the Navy is revolution inspired by European totalitarians and therefore, by the terms of Franklin Roosevelt's hemisphere defense, to be prevented or suppressed by U. S. arms. In Navy thinking, most likely spot for such a police job is Brazil, whose Foreign Minister Oswaldo Aranha last week assured the U. S. that it need not (and should not) worry about his country...
