...part of the OAS peace-keeping machinery, delegates will also discuss organizing a permanent Inter-American Peace Force, on the order of the temporary force now in the Dominican Republic. Brazil's President Humberto Castello Branco made no secret of his views. "We must acknowledge," he told delegates, "the inanity of our wanting collective protection and action without first creating effective machinery for collective decision-making and joint action." This is likely to stir a storm of protest from such ardent defenders of nonintervention as Mexico and Chile...

There is another soldier who is almost certain to be the candidate of the government's new "Party of the Revolution."

The President is counting on electoral courts to use the new Ineligibilities Law to keep off the ballot candidates...
...companies. Then came a sudden and dramatic change. Last week, having broken all records in July, daily trading volume advanced to 1,626,447 shares, and daily sales topped $1,000,000 for the first time in history. Main reason: a new capital-market reform bill that Brazilian President Humberto Castello Branco signed into law last month. The law sets up an equivalent of the Securities and Exchange Commission by empowering the central bank to discipline the market, allows new brokers to enter the previously closed exchange, requires firms trading on the market to publish regular and reliable financial statements...
