ian revolt.
A swarthy, stocky little man,
quick on the draw, he has never been
gun-shy, and impromptu shooting
has been an occasional obligato in
his rise to supreme power.
When he established his totali
tarian state on November 10 of
last year, there were those who
said he was dealing in the dark
of the moon with the green shirts
—that here was where Germany
and fascism got a toe-hold on
this continent.
The green shirt revolt and its vig
orous suppression by Sr. Vargas
seems to be an answer to that, even
if he had not previously made it
clear that his authoritarian state
was not of the European model.

Sr. Vargas recruited his political
following as a liberal. He denounced
monopoly and promised the over
throw of the “coffee plantation
kings.”
He seized power in 1930 by
the overthrow of President
Washington Luiz, with the aid of
his lifetime friend, old General
Aurelio Monteiri. Luiz had won
the election against him, but
Vargas raised a cry of fraud.
From the first he ruled partially
by decree, now entirely, since the
adoption of the

“syndicates,” the fixing of maxi
mum and minimum wages, and
the denial of all rights of free press
and free assemblage.
He is a famous orator, speaking
a fluent and flowery Portuguese, us
ing the radio a great deal in na
tional appeals. He is credited with
just about the shrewdest political
intelligence in South America. In
his prairie town, he attended a pri
vate college, later enrolled in a
military college, but was diverted to
the law.
His rise through minor offices to
the national congress parallels the
standard career chart of our con
gressional record biographies—dis
trict attorney, state legislature and
all the rest of it.

He gathered up the strands of the
unified service when the GHQ air
force, which he commands, moved
into the huge air base at Langley
field, March 1, 1935.
Called the “handsomest man
in the service,” he is quietly ef
fective and the last man in the
world to be called a swivel-chair
officer. He warns the country
against a shortage of fliers and
urges civilian training. He was
not an A. E. F. flier.
In 1934 he made the unusual jump
from lieutenant-colonel to brigadier
general and was made a major-gen
eral in 1935. He was graduated from
West Point in 1906 and was with the
cavalry on the Mexican border, be
fore he found his wings.

The Mayflower brought 41 men
and their families—102 in all. The
Speedwell, which set out with the
Mayflower, proved unseaworthy and
turned back. The Mayflower was
followed the next year by the For
tune of 55 tons, which arrived at
Plymouth in November, 1621, with
some 30 additional emigrants. In
1623 the Ann and the James of 140
and 44 tons, respectively, arrived
with 60 more members for the col
ony. The passengers in these ves
sels completed the list of those who
are usually called first-comers.
