During the luncheon Colonel Rafael Meany, Guatemalan, stated that he was anti-United States. With regard to the union of the Americas, Meant' claimed that such a plan was impossible, since the governments of the American countries, and particularly Guatemala, contrary to the will of the people, only served the imperialistic interests of the United States. Meany disapproves of the Pan American Union and believes that the Good Neighbor Policy is merely an instrument to exploit weak peoples. Colonel Obdulio Serrano, an Ecuadoran, expressed his approval of Meany1s remarks. 3. Argentine police officers present at the luncheon praised President Juan Domingo Peron and claimed that he was a man of the people.
