Particularly enraging to President Arnulfo Arias was Scott's sour comment on the present Panamanian regime in his daily column, "Interesting if True," and Scott's viewing-with-alarm in cables to Reuter's and United Press. In November Scott was warned that his dispatches were "tendentious." He continued column and cables, noting "reforms" that gave the President a longer term and power to expropriate foreign-owned property...
...feeling between official Panama and the U. S. Army has grown. One of President Arias' decrees is that all business with the Panamanian Government must be conducted in Spanish, which is a pinprick in the seat of the Army's breeches. Another pinprick was violent criticism by the Legislature of the U. S. Army for starting construction of an airport on private property which the Army intended to purchase. The Army's Commander, Major General Daniel Van Voorhis, was refused permission to sit in a pew of the British Legation at an Independence Day service in Panama...
Candidate Arias accepted the surprise nomination of the well-oiled National Revolutionary Party machine, on a platform of "Panamanian nationalism."

Up to the vacated post stepped First Vice President Dr. Ricardo Alfaro. Last year Drs. Arias and Alfaro toed off for the 1940-44 Presidency...
...addition to Ethel's native ability, there are the superb antics of a sailor trio from the Idaho, Arthur Treacher's poker-faced buttling, and the inhuman jitterbug energy of Betty Hutton to keep the show at a lively pace. Costuming and scenery are done in the best Panamanian manner by Raoul DuBois, and the book of Fields and DeSylva is good musical comedy stock. Added up, this should be the proper formula for another Broadway hit, but in its embryonic stages the show does not yet live up to its promise. "Panama Hattie" still gives the impression of dragging...
