[Messersmith, G.S.], Buenos Aires. Memorandum of conversation with Mrs. [Eva] Perón., 1947 April 17

During luncheon for Winthrop Aldrich talked with Mrs. Perón; she said she was making trip to Spain; advised her that such a trip might be misunderstood, that her visit would be exploited by Spanish Government to make it appear there were relationships between Argentina and Spain that do not really exist, and might do a great deal of harm to her country; she said she had not thought of it in that light and agreed that trip might not be a good idea; later told Foreign Minister of conversation and he approved advice given Mrs. Perón.
