in other South American countries

dabbled in matters that could have
been settled more easily without

When the neighbor-even a Very

sides, complications grow. Then, If
the couple finally reach an under
standing, both are resentful toward
the neighbor because he took part
in something that was none Of his
business at all"
The charming Sonora represents
one school of thought. But there's
another, the "Spruille Bra lie n
School of Thought" which held
that when Braden was our envoy
to the Argentine he had a very good
reason for stepping in flat-footedly
against contingent working
against the best interests of the
United States. AS one of Braden' s
friends put it, "If your neighbor
