fascist BRANCHES
ARE HUGE SPY PLOT

Pueblo, Col.-The local branch Of
the Italian Fascist movement is a
spy system maintained by Mussolini,
according to E. Clemente, editor of
L'Unione, Italian-language news
paper of this city.
"The Fascist movement in America
can not and should not be formed, as
it is contrary to the democratic ira
ditions Of this large republic" says
Editor Clemente.
"The Pueblo branch of fascism has
no business to exist. 1t is against
Americas high ideals of democracy
and freedom. It is nothing more than
an Italian spy system to report to the
Italian government those who are OPP
posed to Mussolini."

partment of the National Catholic
Welfare Council says of this question:
Few women work for love Of the eco-
nomic independence extreme feminists
talk about. They work because of
their own economic dependence or
that of their fathers, their husbands,
or their prospective husbands. OF the
eight and one-half million working
women in the United States, few work
for pin money. They work because
they must. There is nothing deep
and mysterious about it. They work
to eat, to clothe themselves, to put
roof over their heads. They are
not amateur workers. They are pro-
fessional workers"

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
What Makes a Good Secretary?

A secretary Is stenographer who
knows how to think.
Sheer he's an assistant to an
executive. Her role is to extend his
personality, and enlarge his capacity
to get things done. Thus, though she
should have initiative, she must
make her activities conform to the
policies and major detectives OF her
chief. A secretary who goes off on
tangents fails to fulfill her true role.
The secretary is not a routine work
er. She Is the alter ego Of an i'm
portant official. and, as such. is in
the know. She learns each day, in
confidential way, the vital facts
which flow across the executives
desk and determine the success or
failure of the enterprise.
She Identifies herself with the prob
lens of her employer.
She is his memory-and his record.
Decides About Callers.
She is his buffer. too, deciding what
callers should be seen and which
should be turned away. (The execu-
tive cannot see every random caller
and finish his work at the same time.)
She relieves the executive of rou-
tine, freeing him for decisions and for
creative work. She knows the scred-
ule Of accomplishments, and keeps
her employer up to date.
On the mechanical side, she can
take dictation as rapidly as her en-
ployer customarily gives it. If she
misses an important word, she stops
to have it repeated, instead Of arbi-
trarily substituting another. In trans
lating her shorthand notes into type
written letters, she works with a
high degree of efficiency and speed.
She Is accurate, and her employer
feels so confident of her ability that
Evening star., 1926-10-20

he signs letters without reading
them when he is in q hurry.
The good secretary is more than
an automaton. She knows her en-
ployer's attitudes and policies, and
can usually sense in advance how he
will handle particular situation. If
he gives his decision graphically, she
can express his ideas fully and court
eously in an appropriate letter or
telephone conversation.
Secretary Dresses Well.
The secretary is more than a ma
chine. She knows that the average
employer appreciates a sweet dispo.
sition as much as an efficient worker.
She dresses well, but not gaudily
She knows that, though she should
be attractive in appearance, she must
dress in the office in keeping with
the dignity Of the establishment.
When she approaches callers, she ex-
presses not only herself, but also the
firm-and the eXecutive-for which
she works.
The good secretary has a sympa.
thetic understanding Of the aims Of
the executive under whom she works.
The secretary who resists her en-
ployer's policies and seeks subtly to
thwart his activities Is a liability, for
a secretary Is lacking in usefulness
If she fails to heighten the capacity
OF an executive to do the job he has
set out for himself.
An intelligent secretary becomes
increasingly more valuable as a re-
suit of the gradual absorption of the
details of a particular business. She
should eventually become an execu-
tive, and has excellent chances for
promotion because she does all her
work In front of the eyes of the man
in position to reward meritorious
service.

Great Britain reduced their tariffs

vantage over American coal and cot

Seek Textile Market.
It was also said by business men
here that it would be possible for
England or Germany to buy raw
American materials. turn them into
manufactured products and compete
at an advantage in Europe Win
goods made here from American ma
terials. In preparation for the effort
TO capture the textile markets or the
world, European spinners are now
buying as much cotton as they can
possibly afford. oe
It is a question in the minds OF
some, since Canada, India ana aus
tralia are part of the British Empire,
whether products from those couir,
tries would not shut out American
commodities in Europe.
The question of protection or 1ree
trade as a national policy was. not
stressed in business discussion mere,
nor was the political angle OF the
manifesto. THE discussion centereo
about the extent to which Amerlcsa
would be affected in spite of herseI.
The manifesto came at a time wnen
appeals for greater tariff protection
have been pouring in on poltlcal
party representatives in hooo.
The textile mills want an increase.
The steel people have been ASKING
that Congressmen consider addltionai
protection against European iron ana
steel products. The farmers, many
of them, think the tariff wall erected
before their products is still too low.
Molasses Is Imported.
Iron from India and molasses from
South Africa are commencing to come
into this country in competition with
American products. The largest con-
sumer of industrial alcohol is import
ing its molasses from which to make
that product.

BRITISH COAL STRIKE
HITTING ARGENTINA
Grain Cargo Rates High and Bank
ruptcies Reflect Poor Busi-
ness of the Country.
BY JOHN w. WHITE.

By Cable TO The Star and Chicago Daily News
BUENOS AIRES. Argentina, Oc-
tober 2o.-The British coal strike In
affecting Argentina's export market
and is decreasing her imports. Ocean
freight rates have increased from IL
shillings per ton to 40 shillingS since
the end of June, because steamers
which formerly brought gardiff coal
to South America returning with
grain, now have to make the outward
voyage in ballast.
The efforts of the ship owners 20
make the grain cargoes pay for the
round trip have caused the increase
in freight rates which must be borne
by the Argentine farmers.
The price at which cereals can be
landed at Liverpool and other grain
markets Is fixed by the prices ruling
those markets. Therefore. exporters
will pay Argentine farmers 81 less
every time they have to pay the ship
owners 81 more.
The results of high freight rates
are found in the increasing number OF
bankruptcies. There have been more
bankruptcies during the first nine
months of 1926 than were recorded in
the first nine months of any recent
year.
American exporters need not expect
any Improvement in the Argentine
market for the next six months even
If the British mine strike Is settled
Immediately. Tramp steamers which
formerly hung around the River La
Plata to pick up grain cargoes are
now being used in the coal trade from
Antwerp and Hamburg with the re-
suit that there is a dearth of tonnage
for Argentine grain.

Some Favor, Others Oppose
Proposal to Lower Euro

BY j. c. ROYLE.


NEW YORK. October 2o-It was
reiterated today that the manifesto
signed by world bankers appealing
for the lowering of tariff and other
trade and commerce barriers applied
only to Europe. But many producers,
manufacturers and distributors here
wore unable to see how such a pro-
posal could be made effective without
materially involving American foreign
trade.
Americas foreign trade situation
has been on a much more favorable
basis since the start Of the new fiscal
year July 1. July. August and Sep

balance. American signers Of the ap-

however, pointed out that European n
nations would scarcely be likely to
lower their tariff walls without re-
ctprooal arrangements with other
countries. That is to say, the
European nations IL they swept away
their restrictive walls in favor Of
each other would not include the
United States unless the United States
took similar action in their favor.
Therefore If the American tariffs
remained unchanged the European
manufacturers would have a distinct
advantage in European markets,
since their goods would enter each
