Abstract
Description
Reports on conversation with [Juan] Perón shortly after arrival in Buenos Aires in May 1946 and before Perón's inauguration as President; discussed what Argentina must do to comply with her commitments under the Acts of Chapultepec in order that she might participate in Rio Conference to implement those acts; Perón agreed that Acts of Chapultepec must be ratified by Argentine Congress and that appropriate action should be taken in matter of enemy property and enemy aliens and assured Messersmith such action would be taken, but that there were many difficulties; he mentioned specifically lack of able people in Government; he had tried to enlist some able men from the opposition for his cabinet, but they had refused; obvious that Perón was sincere in his wish to better relations with U.S. and to collaborate with other American countries; he was much concerned about spread of Communism in the Americas.
