Something about the affair smelled fishy. Handsome, taciturn Acting President Ramon S. Castillo was having trouble with his legislators. Last week he was anxious to get a new budget passed, a proposal loan of $110,000,000 from the U.S. approved. But the Radical majority of the Chamber of Deputies would not hear of it until he assured them that this winter's Buenos Aires provincial elections (for 42 out of 158 Chamber seats) would be held under Federal, not provincial, law. This would put an end to a long-established system of election fraud by which Acting President...
...seed of Nazi doctrine. Though only about 235,000 of Argentina's 13,000,000 inhabitants are Germans, many of them are well-to-do and influential. German-controlled investments in the country add up to about $1,500,000,000. The Argentine Government, under Acting President Ramon S.

Tuberculous Mariquita used hers to enter a sanatorium near Molinari in the Argentine uplands...
...Foreign Minister José Maria Cantilo, outraged by the German invasion of Western Europe two days before, called upon the Americas to abandon what he called "the dead conception" of neutrality for a realistic nonbelligerency. Last week, one year and 16 days later, Argentina's Acting President Ramon S. Castillo "reaffirmed" his country's neutrality. During the year the U.S. had abandoned the dead conception of neutrality for a realistic near-belligerency. Argentina declined to follow its own original advice...
...event of considerable importance to the juke boxes of the U.S. Southwest occurred last week when Decca recorded Ramon Armengod, Mexico's Bing Crosby, singing Amor, Amor, Amor, Mexico's "new song." It is a cancion bolero with a lovely, lazy melody and a fetching Franz Lehar swipe at the end of the middle part, and Senor Armengod has the voice to sing it bravely. But Amor, Amor, Amor is not new. It has been played south of the Bravo (Rio Grande to Yanquis) for several years. It is called new by Mexicans because, with the fierce competition...
