Here From Guatemala

mere from Guotemalo
Mrs. Roy. O'Connor arrived Satur-
day for two weeks in Gunnison with
her father, Senator Dexter T. Sapp.
1t has been eight years since she
visited in our city. Mrs. O'Connor is
now living in Guatemala, near Barrios
where Mr.. O'Connor has large ban
ana plantation of over 5000 acres.
She talks very interestingly of life
in the tropics, especially Of the hot
climate in which low temperature of
5s above zero, chilled the bananas. !"
During and since the war, with trans
portation demoralized and labor con-
ditions uncertain, they have been de-
voting less attention to fruit and more
to marketing the fine mohogany, rose
wood and other rare woods which
grow in Guatemala. The British are
getting the jump on American traders
all thru Central America, since the
war. in fact the United States has
been behind both the British and Ger
mans in looking after this rich field
of business.

Berlin (By aiD.-"Germany must

The statement of Hugo SHINES,
coal and iron king, is one of his ar
guments in his fight against social

SHINES takes the position that, with
Germany's finances in a muddled, al.
most bankrupt condition, socializa-

cial structure topples, according to
his theory, Germany is ruined for

general financial ituation-except
perhaps to make it worse
He contends, further, that The two
schemes proposed-total socializa-
tion or partial socialization with
both capital and labor represented
will make for higher expenses and
lower production.
Singing out the coal mines for
specialization is, according to the
mining king, an impossible proposi-
ton. The whole national economy
must be cleaned up and improved
and this singing out process would
only mean a further wrench of the
entire structure, he contends.

into the means of socialization of the
