...Somoza took office in 1937 and promptly revamped the constitution. By resigning the Presidency (after appointing himself Acting President during his absence from office) he was able to have himself inaugurated a second time in 1939 for a longer (eight-year) term, ending in 1947. Panama's President Arnulfo Arias pushed through a new constitution within three months of his election last year (TIME, Dec. 30), is now President until...
Quartersphere Safe. Last week President Dr. Arnulfo Arias of Panama announced that his country had granted the U. S. the right to build air bases anywhere in Panama for defense of the Canal. This was the first agreement on bases to be concluded in Latin America.

Scott's latest bounce is the result of a fraternal squabble. Owner of the paper and Scott's boss is an ex-President of Panama, Dr. Harmodio Arias, brother to present President Dr. Arnulfo Arias.

In November Scott was warned that his dispatches were "tendentious." He continued column and cables, noting "reforms" that gave the President a longer term and power to expropriate foreign-owned property...
...Panama for the Panamanians" is the slogan on which President Arias was elected, with the help of his steamroller machine. Arnulfo Arias is a young and patriotic man who fears his native land is losing its identity. He has seen most of its retail business taken over by Chinese, Eastern Europeans and East Indians. He has seen Jamaica Negroes, first imported to build the Canal, monopolize jobs on that waterway. He has seen the import business, utilities and banking taken over by Anglo-Saxon Americans, by the British and by Germans. He has heard English spoken on the streets...
