Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great South Land, the River Plate and Southern Brazil of to-Day Everyone is familiar with the story Of the ugly duckling which turned out a swan. One is tempted to use the Simile with regard to the Republics of the Rio de la Plata. But it would not apply entirely. The cygnet made an unbroken progress towards its full swan beauty. The River Plate Republics have attained to their present condition by a far more mottled growth. Sometimes just when their political and commercial feathers seemed about to shine in a brilliant zenith the countries that bore them have taken to a fit of moulting, and have brooded, bald and bare, for a period of seeming hopelessness.
