candidates or the results of elections? This view was
expressed in all friendliness and kindliness and not by
any who favored the election of Peron. As they say,
they approach the matter realistically, see the proba-
bility of Peron's election, and are left wondering what
will happen then.
A former Brazilian Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Mr. Anranha, with whom I had a long talk and who is a
trained, experienced diplomat, but an economist of the
old school, feels Peron can be brought in line. He joins
with others in believing that Peron's position has been
strengthened in his own country by the outspoken opposi-
tion to him from foreign countries. He feels that there
is still time to come to a complete understanding with
Peron, and that the campaign is being waged on the issue
of "Argentine for the Argentinians" solely because of
the opposition from abroad.
The special Ambassador from the Vatican at-
tending the inauguration, who I believe is the Bishop
of Lima, Peru, sees great danger if irritation between
the United States and the Argentine continues. To put
it in his own words, "The present solidarity might be
weakened. He did not express any preference for Peron,
but is convinced that Peron will carry the election.
He is optimistic and believes, to use his own words,
"A few sensible well-meaning people could adjust the
Argentine question without much difficulty."
I may be wrong, but I got the impression that
Great Britain is coasting along with Argentine and will
do "business as usual" regardless of the outcome of the
ARCHIVES AND "NATIONAL SERVICE' RECORDS
election.

I found no sympathy for Peron but a great
deal of concern over Argentine wheat and meat. In that
respect, Argentine knows that the going will be good
for at least two more years.
I have sought to convey the views and impres-
sions of others, not my own, concerning the Argentine
question.
The presence of the U.S.S. Franklin Delano
Roosevelt created a most enthusiastic and appreciative
impression. The mighty ship was the center of attrac-
tion, and its crew--from the gallant commander down-
the talk of the town.
The above, I believe, covers generally the
inauguration and the purpose of the Mission. If desired,
