Aristocrat turned Socialist, Federico Pinedo, Finance Minister in the new Argentine Cabinet, combines progressive economic views with smart financial moves. When he was Finance Minister once before (1933), Pinedo created the Central Bank and the present Foreign Exchange Control, topped off these with a brilliant maneuver: he alchemized a British loan from credit figures on the books of British banks into actual gold metal, shipped the metal to Argentina, turned it into pesos and marked up a profit of millions of pesos in the national treasury...

Strong Man Batista's subsequent spectacular State visits in Washington to New Dealer Roosevelt and in Mexico City to even Newer Dealer Cardenas seemed to go over big with the Cuban populace. The Strong Man's return from these visits was celebrated in Havana with unprecedented popular rejoicing and wild huzzas. Last week, the Communists swung into line behind...

Among the 35: Antonio Hermosilla, editor of Madrid's Leftist La Libertad; Modesto Sánchez Monreal, editor of Madrid's Leftish El Sol; Emilio Gabás, onetime editor of Madrid's El Socialista; Federico Moreno, editor of Zaragoza's Heraldo de Aragón; and Javier Bueno, who was editor of Oviedo's Avance and one of Spain's greatest newspapermen...
