Postponement Of the seventh
Pan American Conf ere nee,
scheduled to assemble at Mon
tevideo, Uruguay, next Decem-
ber, appears to be more than a
possibility.
In fact the desirability Of
postponement is now a subject
of conversations between the
ABC powers of Latin-America-
Argentina, Brazil and Chile.
Mexico is leading the oppo-
sition to postponement and
the United States has thus far
remained aloof from the dis
cusson, not wishing to exercise
any influence upon the final
decision that might be resented
by those American states which
have taken sides in the discus
sion.
The Washington times., 1933-10-20
Extensive Agenda

Argentina took the initiative
in suggesting to Brazil that the
conference be postponed until
the states participating can bet
ter prepare themselves to take
up the extensive agenda Tor
the conference which was ap-
proved by the governing board
of the Pan American Union at
the meeting of May 81, 1888.
AS Secretary of State, Mr.:
Hull is ex-officio chairman OF
this board. This offers another
reason for his neutrality toward
the question of postponement.
The truth is that the depres-
sion is engaging the attention
of the republics of Central and
South America as seriously as
it is the attention of the United
States. AS a consequence OF
this concentration on domestic
problems of relief and recovery,
the governments of several OF
the larger republics to the south
have not been in a position to
give much consideration to an
international program of recon
struction such as that outlined
in the agenda for the Monte
video conference.
Reorganization of peace" is the
first question on this agenda.
Under this heading, subjects
listed for. discussion include:
"MethOds for the preUentiOn
and pacific settlement of inter.
American conflicts.
"The Argentine plan for an
tiLU0r pdctS.
"PrOnpt ratification of the
general treaty of inter-AmeT-
icon arbitration and of the gen.
eroI convention of inter-Amer-
ican cancellation agreed to at
the last PGn-Amcricdn Confer
ence held in Havana in the
uinter of I92S-1929."
Among the other questins on
the agenda are the progressive
codification of international
law, political and civil rights OF

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

We've been shown innumerable
glittering examples of men and
women who have risen to fame
from cutters and log cabins. II
they could rise, why can't we?
We CAN rise. And we can
achieve great happiness and real
power with that rising. BUT WE
CAN ONLY RISE, AS THEY
ROSE ALONG THE LINES OF
OUR OWN TALENTS. And
Well waste and wreck our lives
if we try to reach heights which
are beyond us.
For example, I know thou
sands of women who want to be
writer's. They have an idea
that a writer's life is a very
dazzling affair. This happens
to be an entirely cockeyed no.
ton; but just try and make
them believe that! In vain does
one tell them that maintaining
a real writing job requires as
monotonous drudgery as dish
washing, and that they'd prob
ably have to do their dish wash
ing anyway.
You might as well save your
breath. They don't believe a
word you say. They want to
write. They've always been
told that you can be whatever
you really want to be-" So,
since they want to be writer's,
and are willing to work cease
lessly toward that end, why
should they listen to your
peevish grabbing? Probably
you're just jealous; you're
afraid they'll do better than
you have done, and so on.
So forthwith they jump all
their regular jobs and proceed
to abandon themselves to an
orgy with art.
Then what? Then nothing.
They have supplied, according
to the formulas, all the
essentials for success-desire,
determination, hard work. But
they simply haven't the max
ings. And what are the max.
ings? Some ability, some adjust
ment within themselves which
would have fitted them for that
particular work.
Of course, the plain fact is
they didn't really want to be
writers at all. They hadn't any
real picture of what a writing
life means. They simply were
hungry for color, for adventure,
for a sense of power.
AND THEY COULD HAVE
HAD ALL THESE THINGS IF
THEY HADN'T BEEN MISLED
BY THAT PERNICIOUS Sue
CESS SLOGAN.
They could have enjoyed
good writing. They could have
lightened the drab monotony
of their daily routine by the
study of writing. They could
have taken correspondence
courses, attended readings-add-
ed substances and excitement
and beauty to their lives, and
achieved real pride, power and
pleasure.
But, instead, they make a
mess of their lives and of the
lives which depend upon them
ALL BECAUSE AMERICANS
HAVE FALLEN FOR A LOT

FLATTERS THEIR VANITY.

indeed. BUT, FOR THE LUV-
VA PETE, USE A LITTLE
SENSE IN PICKING YOUR

On the other hand, Miss
Sheilah Graham, that startling

young writer from England,
says, "I would not divorce a
man I loved, simply because he
had affairs with other women"
And she goes on to prove that
a man may be dead in love
with his wife, and at the same
time quite alive to the charms
of other women.
And THAT is just where Old
Lady Nature loaded the dice!
A man MAY adore his wife,
even while he is holding an
other woman in his arms. But
no WOMAN can double-croSS a
man so long as She honestly
loves him. She can't even SEE
another man.
A woman has a Single-track
mind and one-Way heart; and
two men can't pass each other
in her affections. When a gal
coyly declares that she can't de-

There is no reason for put

eide which of two men she's in
love with, she is NOT in love
with either of them. She's in
love with herself. Or with love.
Or with her own popularity.
A mans heart, on the other
hand, appears to be much more
spacious. While here may be a
sacred spot in it reserved for
the woman he loves, there is
plenty of parking space for any
little temporary interest.
Nevertheless, as long as one
woman really INTERESTS a
man, he finds no time and has
no eyes for any other woman.
It is a mans INTEREST, not
his love, that a woman finds it
hardest to hold.
OF course, nobody Except
those who are still back in the
dark ages with the horse-hair
sofa and the embroidered lam

double standard is fright" But
if there is going to be a single
standard it is woman who will
have to set the standard.
Because men always have
been, and always will be, just
as good as the women demand
they shall be-and just as bad,
Indifferent or inconstant as the
women GALL the women) will
permit them to be. Just as
tender and devoted as the wo-

just as selfish and tickle as the
