...American Conference at Montevideo (see p. 12), the Cuban Government denounced Ambassador Welles for "intrigue" against President Grau San Martin. In Havana, despite the traditional close-mouthed clannishness of diplomats, Mr. Welles was also denounced by Dr. Fernandez y Medina, the Uruguayan Minister to Cuba. For the past month Dr. Fernandez has been negotiating among Cuban politicians with an aim similar to that usually ascribed to Mr. Welles, namely, to obtain by peaceful persuasion the resignation of Dr. Ramon Grau San Martin as President and the formation of a coalition government which would hold a fair Cuban election...
...Manuel Puig Casauranc. He wanted the Conference to declare a six to ten-year all-American moratorium on international public and private debts. As high words began to fly, correspondents pressed their ears to the broad panels of the Steering Committee's door.

Uruguayan Communists let Senor Casauranc alone-though Mexico does not recognize the Soviet Union-but strewed the path of the U. S. Secretary of State with leaflets reading "Down with Bandit Hull! Down with Yankee Imperialism...

From glands located behind the eyes of 7,500 U. S., German, Jamaican, Uruguayan, South African, Chinese and Japanese toads. Dr. Chen extracted potent drugs (adrenalin, cholesterol, ergosterol, and two digitalis-like substances) which modern scientific medicine considers indispensable. Apparently toads do not use these potent drugs in their own economies. When Dr. Chen removed the glands from several toads, they seemed as well...
