The Foreign Service Journal, May 1940 <7/« AMERICAN FOREIGN SERVICE VOL. 17, NO. 5 JOURNAL MAY, 1940 *IOR P2IIIK m •RELUME This is what we call FOREIGN SERVICE! * After checking up, frankly, we were surprised that our staff of interpreters master no fewer than 22 languages, including Esperanto. This is just another reason why the men and women in the Foreign Service experience no hesitancy about sending us their New York- bound friends and acquaintances. The Hotel New Yorker has long been Foreign Service Headquarters in New York because of its convenient location—handy to every¬ thing you want to see or do in this fascinating town of ours. Make it your home when you are again on leave in New York. This is the nearest large hotel to all the principal piers and is con¬ nected by private tunnel to Pennsylvania Station. Four popular priced restaurants. Ten minutes, ten cents to the New York World’s Fair Grounds. ★ 2500 Rooms from $3.50 Hotel NEW YORKER 34TH STREET AT EIGHTH AVENUE, NEW YORK Frank L.

  • 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.

I first met Freddie over forty years ago when I stared working for Pan American World Airways in New York. It was twenty-two year later, still with Pan Am, when I took a position as ramp operations trainer; and Freddie was assigned to teach me the tools of the trade. In 1989 while in Berlin for training, Freddie and I witnessed the abandoning of the guard towers along the Berlin Wall by the East Germans. We didn’t realize it then, but we were witnessing the beginning of the end of the Cold War.

Buckley [email protected] [email protected] ONMS Maritime Heritage Program USCG Auxiliary (617) 827-5472 (860) 391-3364 Willing to Attend Workshop Yes Target Name Shipwreck of the US Revenue Cutter BEAR Geographic Area of Interest Northwest Atlantic Relevant Subject Area Maritime Archaeology Description of Topic or Region Recommended for Exploration Brief Overview of the Feature: In the entire maritime history of the United States, few ships have been routinely identified as “iconic” and “legendary”, and none more historically- significant than the US Revenue Cutter BEAR. Largely associated with polar exploration, and particularly its Arctic service, the ship’s history is a series of compelling stories of bravery in the face of peril, dedication to duty, and legendary exploits. Built in Scotland originally as a sealer in 1874, for the first ten years of service, she operated as part of the commercial sealing fleet off Newfoundland. Purchased by the US Government, it was put into service by the US Navy as part of the rescue fleet for the Greely Expedition to the Arctic in 1884, and first came to world- wide acclaim as the vessel that rescued the few survivors of that disastrous expedition. In 1885, the BEAR was transferred from the Treasury Department for service in the Arctic as a Revenue Cutter, and for an unprecedented 41 years ably patrolled the Arctic, saving lives and dispensing justice in this remote and often challenging region. Between 1886-1895, the captain of the BEAR was the legendary "Hell Roaring Mike" Healy, the first person of African-American descent to command a ship of the US Government.
