some papers and the acceptance of a ribbon of office em we
did not see that any oath of office was administered as is
the practice in the United States, but even from our front
seats the view was completely shut out at times by a horde of
news photographers.
The inauguration was attended by the Chiefs of foreign
diplomatic missions and special delegates all in full dress with
decorations, in a packed hall.
Following the acceptance by Gonzales-Videla of the
"Mandate as President" we marched in national groups through
streets crowded with enthusiastic spectators a half dozen
blocks to the Presidential Palace "Moneda" where we offered
sparish?
individual personal congratulations to the new President.
I was unable to attend a great inaugural parade of
soldiers and sailors in which our sailors participated, and
from 9:00 p.m. to midnight assisted the Ambassador as part of
the receiving line in a most attractive reception of several
hundred foreign and American guests in the Embassy.
Ambassador Bowers holds the high regard of Chilean
officials, of the foreign diplomatic officers, and of the North
American residents in Chile.
Nov. 4:
Many Chileans during my visit in their country told
me that communist agitators in Chile are well organized and
adequately financed, that they are making converts among the
underprivileged natives, and that serious trouble with them
appears inevitable.
President also afraid.
