Dominguez said that Chile's behavior would probably follow the pattern of either Argentina or Brazil over the past two decades. Argentina's military returned power to civilians after 18 years of dictatorship, but the armed forces of Brazil have maintained their control since 1964, he said.

Rio Bureau Chief Rudolph Rauch, having hurried from Brazil to Buenos Aires to be closer to events, tried to phone Eisendrath for two days with no luck.

World reserve stocks of many major farm goods have been so badly depleted that years of bumper harvests will be needed to rebuild them. The scarcities are also having a snowballing effect; a shortage in one commodity aggravates shortages...
