Before he was fairly settled in Santiago's grey Casa Moneda, Chile's new Acting President Geronimo Mendez had ?n important visitor. Out of a borrowed Lufthansa plane at Santiago airport one day last week stepped Brazil's smart, dapper Foreign Minister Oswaldo Aranha, all primed to talk commercial treaties. He had left Rio expecting to confer with President Pedro Aguirre Cerda, had learned of Don Tinto's temporary retirement (TIME, Nov. 17) while en route...
Though the treaties themselves were not particularly important, it seemed likely that the first act of Acting President Mendez' official life might be very important indeed. Minister Aranha (whose name means "spider" in Portuguese) was openly rumored to be spinning a web. On his way to Chile he had stopped in Buenos Aires, and one guess was that behind the screen of unimportant business he was trying to weave Argentina and Chile together with his own country into an A.B.C. bloc.

Only regret among Museum officials is that they don't have the crowbar...
...production in Latin America. So Jesse Jones's Deputy Will Clayton late in September raised his ante to 11½?a lb. By last week, the latest import figures made it appear that he had also licked the other big Latin American copper problem: shipping space. Chile alone (counted on for 80% of U.S. copper imports) shipped 54,000 tons to the U.S. in August, more than twice last February's low. OPM now counts on Latin America for not more than 600,000 tons (⅓ of total U.S. supplies) for 1942. Only if Latin American copper exports...
