...gradual reorganization and strengthening of TIME'S network of reporters in Canada and Latin America. With one exception (The New York Times), TIME was the first U.S. publication to maintain a regular news bureau in Canada and in Latin America. At present we have three news bureaus in Canada -in Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto- each headed by a bureau chief, and 24 local correspondents (called "string correspondents" or "stringers") in as many cities scattered throughout the Dominion. Each is a reporter or editor for a local newspaper like the Winnipeg (Manitoba) Tribune, the Halifax (Nova Scotia) Herald...
Latin America also has three news bureaus - in Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires - a full-time roving correspondent, and 12 stringers strategically placed from Puerto Rico to Chile.

It now sprawls out in 23 departments, 104 bureaus, 460 offices, 631 divisions, 40 boards. Over the globe it owns more than 5,000 buildings (139 in Washington alone) and more than 1,000,000 motor vehicles, worth about $2 billion. Its records would fill six buildings the size of the Pentagon. Overlapping and duplication of effort abound. Example: a Columbia River salmon, swimming upstream to spawn, comes under the jurisdiction of twelve different federal agencies concerned with fish and wildlife...
