“Politicians and diplomats, who
were the early contacts contrib
uted little. About all they en
deavored to do was skim off the
South. Tourists who visited the
Latin American republics check
ed their inhibitions at the border
and gave those people a strange
impression of us. American mo
tion pictures gave a distorted im
pression to Latin Americans.
“The only sane basis for true
cooperation with Latin American
countries is a definite understand
ing beforehand of what we both
are going to get out of it.
“Recently there have been defi
nite indications that there will
will be a revolutionary change in
attitudes. One indication of this
fact came to light recently when
a representative of our govern
ment sent back a report which
mentioned not one word about
commercial possibilities, but de
voted much space to the oppor
tunities for research along many
lines of scientific endeavor. That
is the basis for better cultural
relations with Latin America.
“How many Americans can name
all of the republics to the south
of us? How many can the capi
tals of those republics? It will
be the little things that will im
press those people with our inter
est in more friendly and trusting
relations. Such things are not
spectacular, they are sound; the
day of the spectacular overture
is past. The spectacular overtures
created distrust and suspicions. We
will find a sane approach to this
vital problem.
