...important people were there, but nothing happened as it was supposed to. It was the 90th anniversary of the signing of Argentina's articles of confederation, and Buenos Aires' Governor Rodolfo Moreno, who dearly loves a spectacle, had invited Acting President Ramón S. Castillo, all provincial governors and many another bigwig to re-enact the ceremony. To the tiny town of San Nicolás de los Arroyos traveled the presidential train, complete with what Buenos Aires correspondents nicknamed "the candidates' coach." Aspirants in next year's presidential elections, including longtime Foreign Minister Carlos...

The much he can prevent is a unanimous Government-bloc support to Acting President Ramon S. Castillo's policy of refusing belligerent collaboration with the Allies.

The Argentine Foreign Office stiffly suggested that the matter was not serious because: 1) the ship had not sunk; 2) no one was killed. In Washington Attaché Alberto Brunet was ordered to go cast a professionally analytical eye on the damage...
...worked with Mexican Ambassador Dr. Francisco Castillo Nájera toward trade and priorities programs with the U.S. But most of the time, and very informally, he visited. He received callers, apologizing for his English, while an attaché hammered a typewriter in one corner of the room and Embassy personnel passed constantly in and out. He gave Vice President Henry Wallace a chance to test his Spanish, and got along so well with British Ambassador Lord Halifax that they exchanged autographed photographs. One night he received 350 guests, and during the reception went upstairs with Ambassador Castillo...
