At the official reception in the ornate Palacio Cousino, Tito made only the briefest of appearances and was then hustled off to a private room before he had a chance to talk to anybody. Two of his five days in Chile were spent in complete seclusion at the seaside resort of Vina del Mar. Four of Alessandri's Cabinet ministers had al ready resigned in protest against his policies, and Chilean officials thought...
