...looked as though most of the sneers and snarls could have been averted by alert U.S. diplomacy. Once Symington made the RFC ruling, the proper business of State, as the agency charged with foreign relations, was to support the ruling, have it withdrawn or work out a compromise that would have saved latino good will as well as supplied U.S. needs...
...movie's plot does not quite hold all this pageantry together, but De Mille's scripters and actors enter into the thing in the proper flamboyant spirit.

Democratic Chairman William Boyle resigned his job under a cumulus cloud of influence peddling, and his successor was hardly in office before clouds gathered over him too. The public worked up quite a head of indignant steam over...
