US Diplomat. He served as United States Ambassador to Colombia from 1938 to 1942, to Cuba from 1942 to 1945, and Argentina in 1945. As ambassador to Argentina, he famously participated in organizing the opposition against President Edelmiro Julián Farrell and Juan Perón, exacerbating the country's internal political conflict. Perón exploited his intervention with a slogan, "Braden or Perón", which contributed to his victory in the presidential election the following year.
