    "ocrText": "Perón administration is trying to infiltrate labor, nationalist, and military circles and\nthereby to gain a commanding position in local politics. The Brazilian Government\nhas also voiced its suspicion that Argentina is actively working to gain control of south-\nern South America. Governments of countries farther north are naturally less con-\ncerned with the problem of Argentine political or economic domination. They appear\nin some cases to have welcomed tokens of Argentine interest as providing a bargain-\ning weapon in their dealings with the US. This is especially true in Central America\nand the Caribbean, to which areas the combined operations of labor, nationalist, and\nanti-US propaganda have been carried with particular emphasis by Argentine missions.\nTo date the political operations of the Argentine Government have not attained\nany large measure of success in Latin America. They have been hampered by lack\nof plan, inferior personnel, the tendency of other Latin American countries to look to\nthe US for leadership on matters of importance, by a distrust of Argentina which in\nsome cases outweighs a distrust of the US, and by Argentina's own need to maintain\nfriendly relations with the US.\n23"
