...gesture brought her enhanced prestige, a significant indication of the leading role Brazil was gradually taking from her greatest rival, Argentina. Already Brazil has economic agreements with Uruguay and Paraguay, is heading toward another with Peru. Ultimate goal of the new Brazilian policy may be the welding of the Amazonian bloc: Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Paraguay, Peru and the Guianas. If this succeeds, Argentina, already out of step politically in South America, may find that Brazil has assumed economic leadership of the continent...
Many a U.S. newsman, many a U.S. newspaper joined the outcry: said Amazonian Pundit Dorothy Thompson: "To say [that such censorship is necessary] is tantamount to claiming that the most profound issues of this war may not be publicly discussed, or if publicly discussed, must be confined within the United States."

...Bolger, with his unsurpassed clowning and comedy dancing, sets the pace for the show, as the original pansy, Sapiens. Take his rendition of a naughty balled entitled "Life With Father," for instance, or his slapstick technique with Benay Venuta, the properly Amazonian Hippolyta, in "Ev'rything I've Got Belongs To You."

Germany tried to underwrite a huge Brazilian steel industry, but was outmaneuvered by Washington, which last week was waiting for approval from Rio of a $17,000,000 Export-Import Bank loan...
Spring brings a touch of the old "Dial" to the Progressive in the bold and amusing woodcuts by John Holabird with which the April issue is generously illustrated. The cover is briefly perplexing. Three fomidable females in antique garb and with Amazonian mutilations march against a pale vermilion background of disordered classicism. In a Student Union publication, one thinks, what would this mean? Certainly not England, France and the United States going out to defend democracy? Perhaps the arts and sciences fleeing a world which topples under the assaults of imperialist...
