that sta1d married men no longer
bought that make because wives and
daughters would not ride in it.
The motion picture has been q DO
tent factor In the commercial expansion
OF the United States. That also has
been the latest. Even the "talkie" is
there, popular and intriguing to an au-
dience which understands only Spanish
or portuguese. The average person in
south America has better idea of life
IN the United States, somewhat exaRger-
ated and sentimental, drawn from the
movies, than those in this country have
or South America. Movie theaters oc-
cupy more important part in public
entertainment than here, for in many
cities theatrical performances are few
during year.
With pictures and craftsmanship
nave come styles from the United
states. 1t may be in clothes or break

out into innumerable lines. An idea Is
tried; 1t becomes popular or fashion,
able. The old way is abandoned and
soon there Is a thriving market
canned fruits, sterilized milk delivered
dozens OF others which were never
thought OF or considered necessary a
few years ago.
While this has been a receptive mar
ket and we'll supplied with energetic
local houses which want to introduce
any new article under the sun, it has
not been occupied by the United States
N5theut craftsmanship. Aside from the
larger corporations, such as automo-
biles, heavy machinery and operating
concessions, nearly all American manu-
tacturerS are represented by local COM
panies OF the same nationality as the
country in which they are located. The
chief work of the American statesmen
Is to instruct these eager representa-
tiveS about the article and introduce
the ballyhoo OF American sales
methods.

preinventory sales, clearance sales,
everything Is there just like home.
Latin Americas ideals are western,
not of Europe. A continents habits of
centuries are rapidly changing, and
despite the protests from abroad and
by the diminishing older generation at

Quackery and Radio.

Two specific complaints of alleged
nuack medical advertising through the
medium of radio have been laid before
the Federal Radio Commission by ply
Eicians connected with the New York
City Health Department. In one case
the writer said the matter already has
been taken up with the National Better
Business Bureau, with the hope that
the alleged fraudulent advertising may
be stopped.
Although the Radio Commission. by
its own Interpretation of the duties OF
censorship, declares 1t has no authority
TO censor programs. 1t states that the
whole matter Of broadcast program ex-
cellence comes within its purview, and
that II the programs complained of are
objectionable and not publicly accept.
able, this may be considered as having
bearing on the application Of q radio
station for license renewal. Congress
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-12-28

has written into existing radio law that
broadcasting station license renewals
must be had every three months. That
procedure, in view of the limitation of
censorship as interpreted by the Radio
Commission, appears wise, since the
rein over any station four times each
year If the station programs are not
regarded as Of proper public interest.
The claims OF cures said to have been
made over the radio on behalf of two
advertisers are said to constitute quack-
cry. If the representatives of the New
York Health Department are right
and their professional regulations would
appear to be at stake If they are not
right-Such advertising practices should
be stopped at once. BY q peculiar twist
of the public mind. claims made by the
medium of radio appear to bear the
stamp of authenticity. Many people i'm
plicitly believe anything that is sent
out from a broadcasting station without
taking the trouble to inquire as to its
correctness.
Newspapers and magazines no longer
will tolerate ouackery In their adver-
tisements. But If qusckery is permitted
to be advertised by radio, q new field
is opened up for illegitimate and VIC
timizing fakery. The Federal Radio
Commission should sift this matter to
the bottom, and If radio stations con-
tinue to permit fraudulent claims of
cures to be broadcast. some means
should be found to check them. If
nothing short of revocation of station
license will do the trick, this extreme
method should be invoked on positive
proof OF fraud.

Story of Dog Devotion
Should Be Let Alone

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Authentic sources seem to verify the
story that hound caught in a trap
in New Hampshire was fed for eight
days by an Airedale that carried food
to the prisoner. But If the story had
only flimsy basis we should still like
to believe it.
We hope that no hard-boiled pur-
suer OF nature fakes will take It into
his head to run this story to earth.
The world would be so much the
poorer II the story should be proved
untrue. Whether or not it actually
happened is not so important. 1t Is
good allegory at any rate. 1t is one
of those things which should be true
II 1t isn't. and which would be true
II a dogs reasoning powers were As
reliable as his affections.
We choose not to go any further into
the subject.
