ABSTRACT
The one region of the world in which it was possible for the reader, before they entered the war, to have a full-fledged foreign policy, including military commitments and bases, was Latin America. Since 1933 the people policy towards Latin America has been what President Roosevelt called the "Good Neighbor". They have studiously adhered to the doctrine of sovereign equality even when the real inequality of these states was emphasized by their reliance upon American financial and military aid for their sustenance and their security Iduring the war. Some say the people have changed their attitude toward the United States, but it is United States policy that has changed. Thus modern Europe, the overseas world which South Americans know best and whose intellectual and political currents touch them closest, has joined with the feudal Europe of the past to create a barrier to South Americans' understanding of the reader and their understanding of them.
