Les délégations latino-américaines et les intérêts de la France à la Société des Nations Du fait de leur nombre et de leur détachement vis-à-vis des questions purement européennes majoritairement traitées à la SDN, les délégations latino-américaines représentaient un poids électoral non négligeable. Influencés par leurs préjugés racistes et convaincus de la vanité et de la vénalité de leurs homologues latino-américains, les diplomates du Quai d'Orsay cherchèrent à s'assurer le concours de ces derniers en leur offrant des compensations honorifiques telles que décorations ou postes de prestige à l'Assemblée. Un appui en vue d'une réélection au Conseil fut également garanti à l'Uruguay. Si certains Latino-Américains se prêtèrent de bon gré à ces pratiques, dans nombre de cas, la défense des intérêts de la Nation ou de principes juridiques universels resta prioritaire.

Owing to their numerical weight and lack of interest in many purely European issues dealt with mainly by the League of Nations, the votes of the Latin American delegations were coveted. Influenced by racial prejudice and convinced that Latin-American diplomats were vain and easily corruptible, French diplomats adopted the practice of vote trading, by offering honorary distinctions such as decorations and prestigious functions in the Assembly. Uruguay was also promised reelection to the Council. If it is true that some Latin Americans accepted and took advantage of this practice, in most cases the defense of national interest and of universal juridical principles remained the priority.
