Despite the U.S. cooperation, some of the delegates were disappointed. They had expected that the three-week conference would produce a binding, final economic treaty. Not until the idea of such a short-order treaty was shelved did the conference get down to its real work: the drawing up of a list of principles to serve as a basis for future planning. The result was a ten-point "Declaration of Buenos Aires" and 39 other resolutions stressing technical matters...

...negotiate a "partial" agreement on mutual aerial inspection and arms reduction. To hard-bitten Admiral Radford, Happy Harold Stassen's expressions of "cautious optimism'' about the possibility of such agreement had an ominous sound. Snapped the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, returning to Washington from a three-week Latin American survey tour: "We cannot trust the Russians on this or anything. The Communists have broken their word with every country with which they ever had an agreement...
