Coolest of all the 21 Republics to what was done at the conference was Argentina, who would love to be the best U. S. South American neighbor if the U. S. would reciprocate. If Argentina is to orient herself into this hemisphere's policy, Argentines say, the U. S. must take some of the meats and grains that formerly went to Europe, which the food-surfeited U. S. has so far refused to do. This week Argentine Delegate Dr. Leopoldo Melo was in Washington, where he hoped to wangle an agreement to get into the U. S. some Argentine...
This immemorial gateway from the Orient to the Mediterranean has an inner and an outer gate. The inner gate is Port Said, which is the focus of British strategy throughout the region. The outer gate is the island of Perim at the entrance to the Gulf of Aden. In World War I the British found their enemies, the Turks, in Asia and drove eastward and northward from the Canal into Arabia, Palestine and Syria.

Today, with Britain fighting with her back to the wall, Admiral Richardson can keep his battle fleet based at Honolulu, only because the U. S.'s outposts in the Atlantic are still under the protection of a British Fleet...
This summer, profiting by last winter's invitation tour of the Orient, Kovacs is belatedly living up to the promise he showed two years ago. Last month he whipped Frankie Parker in straight sets in the Missouri Valley championship. Last fortnight, in Long Island's Nassau Bowl tournament, he trounced Gil Hunt, Joe Hunt and Elwood Cooke, three of America's top-rungers...
