After Socialist Minister of Trade Oscar Schnake Vergara returned from a six-month visit to Washington last December, Chile's Socialist Party became noticeably cool toward its Communist colleagues in the Popular Front. Minister Schnake had wangled a $17,000,000 Export-Import Bank loan for Chile, and in return was supposed to see that the U. S. got full cooperation in its plans for hemisphere defense.

...couple of days after his phone call, Reporter Frazer, accompanied by another Canadian censor, went to visit a convoy ship shortly before its sailing time.

...seductions: "It's funny to be kneeling here at your feet talking about beer." She comes to feel just the way she seems, but temporarily conceals her past to protect her partners. When Fonda finds out, he gives her up. Out for revenge, she arranges to visit his home as an English peeress (her resemblance to the girl on the boat becomes a comic asset rather than a plot difficulty). She gets him to marry her-then on the honeymoon train so out rages him with fibs about other men that he quits the train in his silk pajamas...
