Chilean president Alessandri profiles in reform effort
The Chilean leader Arturo Alessandri, a former independent candidate, faces political gridlock as he pursues economic and social development amid financial strain. Born May 5, 1896 in Santiago, he prefers a simple life and walks to work, studying music and avoiding alcohol or tobacco. He plans meetings with Peru and Panama leaders on his return and will meet Mexico’s Lopez Mateos on arrival.
