...same reason-to maintain its Havana embassy where some two dozen anti-Castro Cubans are currently in asylum. Chile's problem was its nip-and-tuck September 4 presidential election; a vote for sanctions might hand the presidency to a far leftist. As for Bolivia, President Víctor Paz Estenssoro has been winning his fight against his country's far leftists, but still did not feel strong enough to go along with the majority...
...airlines were serving Latin America, one of the greatest proliferations of aviation service anywhere in the world. All told, the lines traveled some 5 billion passenger-miles, carried over 94 million ton-miles of cargo, and could point to some impressive traffic growth: 175% in the past ten years, v. 117% for the rest of the world. Argentina, Chile and Colombia have all more than tripled their passenger traffic since 1954; Uruguay is up almost 400%, while Brazil ranks third in the free world (after the U.S. and Canada) in the number of daily domestic flights...

Occupation planners declared the steel industry essential, thus enabling it to progress from a complete halt in production on V-J day to an output of 6,000,000 tons by 1951, when the peace treaty was signed. At the same time, the old government monopoly, Japan Steel & Iron Co., was broken up into Yawata Iron & Steel Co. and Fuji Iron & Steel Co., currently Japan's two largest producers. Encouraged by the authorities, competition flourished; today Japan has 62 steelmakers. But 55% of production is still...
