...Onetime President General Augustin P. Justo's offer to serve in the Brazilian Army, which promptly made him an honorary brigadier general (TIME, Sept. 7), was wildly popular among the Argentines.

This week General Justo flew to Rio in the private plane of Brazil's President Getulio Vargas as guest of honor for the Brazilian national holiday. At Santos Dumont Airfield he got a roaring welcome from 30,000 Brazilians. All this raised General Justo's chances of succeeding...

When the truant officers found him, ten days later, he was sent to reform school. There he met an Irish kid named Frankie Madden, leader...
...difficulties of the terrain and a doubtful Army between it and the U. S. border. The Mexican Army has a peacetime strength of 56,000, which can be increased to 150,000 in war. It also has 400 generals (as a legacy from frequent revolutions), ranked by General Jesus Augustin Castro, who fought under Carranza and succeeded President-Elect Manuel Avila Camacho as Minister of National Defense. The Mexican Air Force has 90 planes, 700 men. Potential man power in Mexico runs as high as 1,500,000. The Artillery uses foreign pieces, mostly obsolete, but Mexico makes...
