He has taken aboard quite a bit of propaganda: 60% believe the U.S. is preparing a war of aggression, and 82% think that U.S. troops in France should be expelled.

...tone of the official press is venomously anti-U.S. A typical issue of the newspaper La Epoca last week contained eight out & out anti-U.S. propaganda pieces, the mildest of them an "expose" proving that Wall Street manipulates all U.S. presidential candidates. A recent cartoon in the bulletin of the Argentine Confederation of Labor showed President Truman as a Statue of Liberty turned gallows, with a Negro lynch victim swinging from his outstretched arm.
