What was the Good Neighbor Policy? Under the new policy, the United States pledged that it would treat Latin American nations with respect and avoid intervening in their foreign and domestic affairs. The goal of the policy was to strengthen the United States economy by increasing trade with Latin America.
A necessary prerequisite to increased trade was the improvement of political relations with those countries and the assurance that the United States would no longer interfere in the affairs of its neighbors. As a by-product of the policy, all Latin American countries eventually joined the United States in the war against the Axis Powers. Even as the United States was moving closer to war, FDR began to formulate his ideas for a post-war world.
FDR suggested the name "United Nations" for the group, and in October he sent representatives to Moscow to begin preliminary discussions with their counterparts from the Soviet Union, United Kingdom, and China about the structure of a world political organization.
The leaders also agreed to call a conference in San Francisco, California on April 25, to prepare a Charter for the new organization. Despite this loss, the San Francisco Conference reached final agreement, and delegates from fifty nations signed the Charter on June 26, On October 24, the Big Five plus one-half of the other nations had ratified the Charter, and the United Nations was officially born.

The public and press hailed FDR's courage in refusing to allow his driver to leave the scene before first attending to the wounded Mayor Cermak and driving him to the hospital. Zangara later stated that he did not hate FDR personally, but rather he hated all government officials and all rich people no matter from which country they came.
Zangara was executed for the murder of Mayor Cermak. The Library's mission is to foster research and education on the life and times of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, and their continuing impact on contemporary life.
