On the hot and humid opening day of the emergency pan-American meeting, held in Havana, Cuba, in 1940, prospects looked black. Across the ocean fascism had spread like a fire through dry-rotted wood, and already sparks were alighting in the Western Hemisphere. The United States Secretary of State Cordell Hull saw that the immediately pressing matters were attended to and laid the groundwork for more effective collaboration. The most dramatic conference declaration, the Act of Havana, in effect gave the United States permission to occupy European possessions in this hemisphere should an emergency make such a move necessary.
