LATEST OPINION TRENDS IN THE U.S.A.
Few Trust Argentina and Spain to Cooperate
Only one quarter of the American public thinks
Argentina and Spain can be trusted to cooperate with
other countries after the war.
A much larger proportion thinks that these countries
cannot be trusted to cooperate--according to an unpublished
Princeton survey taken in the middle of May.
The popular estimate of Argentina has changed little
since March; but "distrust" has declined appreciably since
December.
The questions and results follow (together with some
earlier figures):
*Would you tell me whether or not you think
Argentina (Spain) can be trusted to cooper-
ate with other countries after the war?'
