PRINT NEWS OF
LATIN AMERICA
WISH OF POLK
He Declares Newspapers Can
Help Countries Understand
Each Other Better

Washington, May 19.-That peace
will be largely strengthened on the
Western hemisphere by an extensive
interchange of thought among the
peoples of the various countries was
the burden of statement by Acting
Secretary of State Frank L. Polk
to-day in urging that the newspapers
of the United States devote more
attention to news of the Latin
Americans countries. Mr.. Polk said
he hoped the American newspapers
would take this means of educating
the people of the United States to
better understand and appreciate the
importance and greatness of our
South and Central America and
pointed out that by lending their
aid to the furtherance of this educa-
ton. the newspapers would be full
filling a pubic duty to the Govern
ment.
The more we know of the other
countries of North and South Amer
ica." said Mr.. Polk to-day, ''the less
likelihood there is of misunderstand-
ings. The nations of the world are
becoming more and more indepen-
dent daily with the increased effic-
lellCS Oh transportation ana CClilllluH-
iCation facilities. Exchange of news
results inevitably in better relations
and a fuller apprehension of the
efforts that are being made by the
different countries to solve the prob
lens of civilization. Improved com
mercial relations are accompanied
by better cultural relations.
"One result of the European war
has been to show the United States
how completely our interests lie in
this hemisphere. With peace re-
stored, our interest in European af-
fairs will be more theoretical than
real, but we have and must have
closer relations with our neighbors
in Central and South America. The
people of Latin America are intensely
interested in the United States. The
newspapers of Central and South
America print n great deal of news
about this country. 1t would he of
incalculable benefit if the newspa-
pers of the United States would pay
more attention to news regarding
Latin America and in a very short
time, these newspapers could cdu-
cate the people to seek further in
formation and more news about our
neighbors to the South"

Building Associations
Report an Increased
Demand For Loans

Washington, May 19.-To obtain
information regarding the present
condition of building and loan asso-
Citations in all parts of the country
and to ascertain the sentiment in re-
gard to the establishment of Federal
Home Loan Banks, the United
States Department of Labor recent
ly sent out a QUESTIONABLE, the re-
turns from which contain valuable
information on t he building situa-
ton.
According to the questionable re-
turns, 63 per cent. of the associa-
tions are now being offered more
business than at this period of last
year. Many of the reports show in
creases of from ten to fifteen hun
dred per cent over 1918 in the vol
ume of business.
Forty per cent. of the associa-
tions report that ordinary receipts
are insufficient to supply the de-
mands for desirable loans. One
half or more of the associations in
the States of Connecticut, Michi-
gan, Nevada, New Jersey. North
Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania
and Wisconsin are reported to be
thus hampered. The opposition to
the proposed Federal Home Loan
Bank measure, which is designed to
enable building and loan associations
to realize on their longtime mort
cages and thus to meet increased
demands for loans, is comparatively
slight, less than 10 per cent. of the
associations queried having opposed
the plan, many of the adverse opin-
ions having been accompanied by the
admission that the exact object of
the Federal Home Loan Banks was
not understood.

NEAR EAST NOW
RIPE FOR CHOLERA
Typhus Epidemic in Rumania
Has Been Put Down,
However


Budapest, May 19.-The typhus
epidemic which has claimed tens of
thousands of lives in Rumania in the
last two and ah alf years is still
smouldering but American Red Cross
physicians who are watching the
sporadic outbreaks believe that the
disease has burned itself out"
Their greatest worries now are the
dangerous outbreaks of smallpox and
isloated causes of cholera.
The Near East to-day, according to
American, British and French physi-
clans who have completed their
surveys, is ripe for an outbreak of
cholera and the plague. Under
nourishment, famine and the strain
of war upon the civilian and military
population has undermined the
health of the nations of the Bal
kanS.
The past winter was terrible
one. Refugees are returning to their
homes to find them heaps of ruins.
They are without everything. If it
We're not for the American Food
Mission and the shiploads of food
being brought into Rumania and
under the auspices of the American
Red Cross, Rumania to-day would
be a nation of starving people.
Local Rumanian physicians are
fighting hard in cooperation with
American doctors to conttne the
smallpox and cholera cases to GER
tain districts. In one hospital Amer
lean doctors found nine children
dead from smallpox. The nurses
working day and night to attend to
the living cases had no time to re-
move the dead children from their
beds.
The Red Cross is fighting the
smallpox epidemic particularly in
the Dobrudja region. Medical sup
plies and units, one doctor and two
nurses are sent by a special Red
Cross food boat which plies up and
down the Danube to the river towns
whence they travel inland to the
centers where the disease is making
the greatest inroads.
WHERE WIVES ARE CHEAP
What is the market in wives? 1t
is said that among the Anus the
price of one is a bear ham. The
Kaffir figure varies from four to
eight oxen, according to the compe-
tition for the particular bride.
4 score of cartridges buys a wife
in Uganda. and the Australian black
gives the weight of his better half
in butter. while the Tartars in Turk
want at the rate of a box of matches
each.
In Wales wives are given away
they are paid for afterward, mostly
in weekly installments.-Fro the
