    Beneath the Surface: Argentine-United States Relations As Perón Assumed the Presidency

    Beneath the Surface: Argentine-United States Relations as Perón Assumed the Presidency Vivian Reed June 5, 2009 HST 600 Latin American Seminar Dr. John Rector 1 Juan Domingo Perón was elected President of Argentina on February 24, 1946,1 just as the world was beginning to recover from World War II and experiencing the first traces of the Cold War. The relationship between Argentina and the United States was both strained and uncertain at this time. The newly elected Perón and his controversial wife, Eva, represented Argentina. The United States’ presence in Argentina for the preceding year was primarily presented through Ambassador Spruille Braden.2 These men had vastly differing perspectives and visions for Argentina. The contest between them was indicative of the relationship between the two nations. Beneath the public and well-documented contest between Perón and United States under the leadership of Braden and his successors, there was another player whose presence was almost unnoticed. The impact of this player was subtlety effective in normalizing relations between Argentina and the United States. The player in question was former United States President Herbert Hoover, who paid a visit to Argentina and Perón in June of 1946. This paper will attempt to describe the nature of Argentine-United States relations in mid-1946. Hoover’s mission and insights will be examined. In addition, the impact of his visit will be assessed in light of unfolding events and the subsequent historiography. The most interesting aspect of the historiography is the marked absence of this episode in studies of Perón and Argentina3 even though it involved a former United States President and the relations with 1 Alexander, 53.

    American Commercial Aviation, the Good Neighbor Policiá and World War Two, 1939-45

    FLYING DOWN TO RIO: AMERICAN COMMERCIAL AVIATION, THE GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICIá AND WORLD WAR TWO, 1939-45. Erik Benson University of Georgia ABSTRACT This article will address the role of American commercial aviation in the Good Neighbor policy during the period of World War Two. The Good Neighbor was a complex policy and American commercial aviation both reflected and augmented this complexity. Through the early years of the world war, American commercial aviation proved to be a valuable instru ment for promoting hemispheric unity Yet as the war progressed, commer cial aviation became a catalyst for conflict and an indicator of the demise of the Good Neighbor policy. In many ways, the 1933 movie Fying Down to Rio encapsulates the story of Pan American Airways and the Good Neighbor Policy. The setting for the movie is a Pan Am plane flying from Miami to Rio de Janeiro. On the flight, the main characters, two American dancers (played by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers), meet and befriend sev eral Latin Americans. This movie is renown for its portrayal of Latin Americans, as it contravened age-old Hollywood stereotypes. Admittedly, it replaced old stereotypes with new ones by emphasizing the sensuality of Latin American women and the musical propensity of both genders, but the film foreshadowed a new era in Latin American movie roles.’ It is somehow fitting that this movie came out in the first year of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration. FDR had just enunciated a new diplomatic policy toward Latin America which disavowed the use of military intervention and mandated that the United States instead would rely on diplomacy and cooperation to achieve its goals in the region.
