The last dispatch sent on these countries in June spoke
of the forthcoming elections and of the rising chances for the
nationalist groupse Since then these predictions have become truée
The presidential elections have brought into power two strong mens
Carlos Ibafiez del Campo in Chile and and Velaseo Ibarra, in Bevadore
s The ebctions in Chile gave Senator Carlos Ibanez - the

a thorough purge, has cleaned out the army of his enemies, replacing
them by friends cf his regime. This move has greatly strengthened his
positions. Our observers feel that - althoveh tensions have not
