“The Time seems to be excellent for promoting close relations I with Latin America,” Franklin Roosevelt wrote Charles Lyon Chandler on February 15, 1936. For Chandler, the most simpático of all simpáticos , his entire active life was the time for the promotion of inter-American relations. As a consular official, author, agent of the Southern Railway, foreign trade manager of the Chemical Corn Exchange Bank of Philadelphia, agent for the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs, and college professor, Chandler vehemently and persistently furthered the cause of inter-American understanding and cooperation. Hundreds of his speeches, articles, and his pioneer book also bear witness to his devotion to panamericanismo , as do the honors bestowed upon him by Brazil, Chile and Colombia. Though Chandler's many activities established his place as a precursor and chief prophet of modern inter-American cultural relations, pursued by private corporations, foundations and government agencies, he has not as yet received a just share of the credit accorded those who started the movement for increased cultural appreciation between North and South America. He remains today a splendid example of the forgotten man
