...Santiago talks, Perón found out that stern old General Ibañez favored economic cooperation-and nothing more. Moreover, Chileans had taken offense at Perón's pronouncement just before leaving Buenos Aires that "we must have total union and immediately." Almost without exception, Chilean newspapers played down Perón's arrival, and one went so far as to report it in a single paragraph on the back page.

Each day General Peng runs his troops through stern drills with dummy guns, tanks and jeeps, subjects them to political orientation lectures as intense as those practiced by the Communists, though with a far different message. There have been few desertions to the Communist Viet Minh forces which rove nearby, and the army has maintained good relations with the surrounding French and Indo...
