Reactions. Ability of the U.S. to keep the hemisphere leadership that Cordell Hull pledged it to exercise will depend ultimately on the machines and man power of the U. S. For the short pull, while military strength is growing, it will depend on: 1) prompt Senate ratification of the Convention; 2) prompt economic aid to countries whose economies have been thrown out of kilter...
Happiest delegate, next to Cordell Hull, was Brazil's black-browed Mauricio de Nabuco, who, though he quietly influences foreign policy from his desk as Secretary General to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, had never attended an international conference before. Son of an Ambassador who died at his Washington post in 1917, Mauricio de Nabuco believes that Brazil should follow U. S. policy. This does not keep him from being a shrewd trader. Last week he, too, was on his way to Washington, to collect a few favors for Brazil in return for his pro-U. S. stand...

Tall, balding Joseph Charles Roven-sky foresaw putting a lot of liberty on the shelf right away. He believed the U. S. would abandon at least temporarily the Hull methods, resort to Hitler's own methods of "barter or compensation trade." The Hull program was "sound in conception under normal conditions," said he, but "it is entirely probable that . . . we . . . shall also adopt trading practices born of expediency...
