The “Blue Book” on Argentine wartime poli- tics, issued by the State Department in January, 1946, presented a wealth of documentary evidence covering the part played by Peron and Co. in establishing the notor- ious Bolivian dictatorship headed !by Villarroel. The current trouble was being led by Villarroel's minor lieuten- ants, most of whom had been liv- ing as “guests” of the President of Argentina who has always dreamed of being South America’s fuehrer.

Venezuela's emergency aid, in the form of medical sup- plies and personnel, was outstand- ing. Colombia has donated $250,000; El Salvador, $20,000; Honduras and Puerto Rico, $10,000 each. Proposals to give or lend varying amounts are currently before the legislatures of seven other countries. i Mexico has recommended to the organization of American States a joint, interest-free loan to Ecuador,! and has offered to put up 10 per! cent of whatever amount is sub- scribed. In Chile, the government! _designed Sept. 12-19 “Aid-to-Ecua- “dor” week and agreed to match all private donations received during that period. So it goes, up and down the hemisphere, with the assistance giv- en or offered being in every case tremendous, in relation to national wealth and income. Yet all this is still only a drop in the bucket toward helping im-! poverished Ecuador to repair the; frightful havoc wrought by the worst disaster the Occidental world | has known in this century. Total reconstruction costs, including ma- chinery and materials which must be imported, are now estimated at $85,000,000. The government of President Galo Plaza has no intention of seeking that sum, or even any siz- able percentage of it, in foreign loans. What the country needs now, for essential purchases in the U.

CHESTER ZENGER, Commander, Juneau Post No. 4, The American Legion (03-3t) army officers, had left Buenos Aires that afternoon for Jujuy province, on the Bolivian border, in two planes of the Argentine gov- ernment-owned State Airlines. This was confirmed early the next morning when the rebel-op- erated radio station in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, announced that Capt. Car- melo Cuellar had taken command of troops there. Cuellar had been living in Bue- nos Aires province since June, 1946, when Bolivian dictator Gualberto Villarroels was overthrown by a pepular revolution and hanged from } a lamppost in the Central Square of La Paz Gozalves visited the foreign min- | istry twice more during the fore- noon of September 1.
