BY THEODORE PRATT.

TN FRANCE I had seen, printed on
the wrapper Of piece Of Italian
cheese, q map Of Italy that in
L cluded the French Riviera as Ital-
ian territory. when I went to Majorca,
SPANS largest island on the Balearic
Archipelago in the Western Mediter-
ranean, I never expected to see any
thing as fantastic as that cheese map.
But during the two years lived on
Majorca the cheese map became a very
ordinary affair
One writer, whose book I read on the
Balearic Islands. called them "the in
nocent isles" For q time I thought
this was an apt description of the re-
mote. quiet Balearics, and the outside
world mostly agreed with it until the
recent query Of Mussolini to Ger
many. while Spain was torn with revo-
luton, asking how Hitler would regard
Italy's moving in on the Balearics.
The Balearics are anything but in
nocent in their significance as the
present focal point in commanding
the Mediterranean In consequence,
though mostly forgotten by the world
up to this time, they compose some of
the most important bits Of land for
quick and violent contention in any
future world war.
the little town where lived on Ma
jorca-Puerto de Pollensa, q fishing
village on the most remote end of the
island. The only thing there was an
excellent natural port, but that was
very important. indeed, as was proven
by the fact that hardly q month
passed without a visit by q squadron
Of italian, French or English warships.
Once an air armada Of more than so
italian planes landed on the bay.
Sometimes these visits, outwardly
for the sake Of good will" to q fishing
village of several hundred people,
lasted for as long as six weeks. Out
side nations seemed to vie with each
other in the calls, as IL they were
rivals in occupation, and they actually
held maneuvers in the bay. The fact
that it was Spanish water appeared to
make no difference.
Visits were so frequent and repre-
sented by such numbers Of ships and
planes that they became q nuisance

a ONCE of the United States
Treasury. He had a distressing story
to tell, and lost no time getting under
way.
It seems that on the Saturday be-
fore his call at the Treasury he had
withdrawn $500 from his bank-the
amount of his pay roll for the follow
ing Monday. This money he took to
his home and hid. On Sunday his
house burned to the ground. Follow
ing the fire feverish search of the
debris was made, and the tin box in
which the money had been put for

The bills in that box were in a sad

and then set to work. For hours
Treasury experts worked over those
charred bills. Finally they were able
to identify $4,000 of the $500. The
man went away happier, wiser-and
somewhat poorer. His name was added
to the long and growing list of those
who marvel at the wizardry of the

LATIN AMERICANS AWAIT

Effect ON Foreign Trade Feared if State
Department Policies Are Altered.
Nominees Speeches Scanned Closely.

Besides these promises, on the Dem
ocratic side they find some facts.
The achievements Of the good neigh
Dor" policy. the extraordinary i'm
provement In the political and eco
nomic relations of the United States
with Latin America in the past three
and a half years, the benefits of the
reciprocal trade pacts, the definite
commitments of the Roosevelt-Hull
administration against armed inter-
vention, dollar diplomacy and other
unfortunate practices of yesterday,
with the corresponding acknowledge
ment Of former mistakes, are con-
crete facts, carrying all the force Of
accomplished results.
G. o. p. Contradictions Seen.
Against these facts. on the Repub-
lican side they find some curious
contradictions. The Republicans want
more and better inter- american trade,
yet they attack bitterly and prom.

all Latin American countries. They
promise to. cooperate in the efforts

ing for that purpose. They pledge
themselves to support the great cause
Of international arbitration" yet they
reject the only universally accepted
tribunal Of arbitration, the World
Court. They condemn imperialism,
but they deny that they have ever
practiced 1t.
In other words, both major parties
promise to do right by Latin America,
but the Republicans either do not
know how or else they are not en-
tirely sincere about it. Nothing H.
illustrates better this conclusion than
the differing views of the two candi-
dates with respect to former hege-
monte policies of the United States.
Mr.. Landon, in his major address on
peace and foreign policies, had this
to say on tho subject: I'VE have been
accused Of imperialism because from
time to time we have landed troops
IN Latin America. The accusation is
not true: Nevertheless, ! am glad our
troops are now all at home" But
President Roosevelt did not mince
words. THE American republics" he
stated In his Chautauqua address,
"have been ready always to, cooper
ate with the United States on q basis
Of equality and mutual respect, but
before we inaugurated the good neigh
Dor policy there was among them re-
sentiment and fear, because certain
administrators In Washington had
sighted their national pride and their
sovereign rights" He did not even
confine his statement to Republican
administrations.
Mr.. .Landon, that Is, does not be-
heve or does not wish to admit that
those landings of United States troops
in Latin America or the other i'm
perialistic actions Of former days af-
fected the pride or the rights of the
Latin Americans. President Roose-
welt knows that they did 90; he ad-
mits 1t publicly. and, what is more
important, he promises not to per-
init the re-enactment oe such things
In the years to come.

ATTN AMERICA. with the rest
of the world, has followed the
progress of the presidential

progress of the presidential
IL campaign in this country and
is anxiously awaiting the result Of
next Tuesdays electoral contest.
This interest is twofold: First,
there are the more or less immediate
consequences which the outcome Of
the election will have on certain
aspects Of the foreign policy of the
United States. For countries which
have such varied political and eco
nomic relations with the United States,
because Of their geographic proximity,
as the Latin Americans. any alteration
in the trend Of the State Departments
policies Is Of capital importance. And
then there is the significance of the
election from the strictly academic
viewpoint Of political science, the lesson
which the world will learn from this
contest between conservative and
liberal forces in the Economically
most advanced nation on earth.
As to the first, and always barring
unforeseen circumstances which may
abruptly change the logical course Of
events, Latin Americans may easily
form an idea Of what treatment they
may expect at the hands Of either q
Republican or Democratic admins
tration In the next four years. They
may do so by studying the stand taken
by both major parties on the subject
Of foreign affairs, and particularly Of
inter-American relations, together
with the campaign utterances Of the
two candidates.
Traditional Views Lacking.
It is useless to go back to the record
Of previous Republican or Democratic
administrations, for neither Of the
two major parties has what may be
called traditional and consistent views
on the subject. The trends Of Ameri-
can foreign policy have been de-
termined mostly by circumstances. by
the personal views of the individuals
in charge Of it and by the greater or
lesser influence exercised upon them
by the moneyed classes with interests
abroad. This explains the fact that
the Latin American policy Of Theodore
Roosevelt's Republican administration
had much more In common with that
Of the Democratic Wilson administra-
ton than with that Of the Republican
Hoover administration. The present
good neighbor" attitude toward Latin
America Is Just .as far removed from
previous Democratic performances Is

Treasury Experts Display Wizardry
In Redemption of Damaged Money

good-sized bill. runs of and tears 1t to
bits, save the pieces. Even If your
goat should unearth, chew and swal-
low with goat-like gravity the wad of
bills you buried in q cigar box, you
need not despair. A veterinarian can
remove the mutilated bills from the
goats stomach, and the Treasury ma
gicians very likely can salvage enough
to pay for another goat-perhaps a
number Of them. 1t has been done.
By what means do these wizards ac-
complish the seemingly impossible?
They will tell you modestly that, after
all, it is rather simple.
Receiving package of charred bills,
they begin by sorting the various
pieces very carefully, eliminating for
eign matter, such as ashes of ordinary
paper.
For the expert, distinguishing be-
tween the ashes Of ordinary paper
and the ashes of paper out Of which
money is made is not so difficult.
Burned money paper has thickness,
body, dull look and q tendency to
hold together. Common paper, which
Is lighter, lacks toughness, turns
shiny and crumbles quickly into soft
ashes.
When the remains of q partly Gre
mated bill have been sorted, they are
pasted piece by piece upon q sheet Of
paper the exact size of the original
bill and in approximately their true
position. On such pieces, examined
under microscope, trained eyes find
various marks that identify the bill
as surely as fingerprints do human
beings.
The fact that there are about 1856
issues OF paper currency and that bills
Of various denominations carry dis
tinctive designs on their faces and
backs adds both Zest and difficulty to
the problem in hand. Notwithstand-
ing the difficulties that arise in the
solution of such q glorified picture
puzzle, a badly mutilated bill may be
redeemed for its full vaiue-though,
more likely, 1t will be for somewhat
less than that.
Yardstick for Values.
In this connection, Uncle Sam has
q yardstick for determining the value
Of damaged money. After q marred
bill has been mounted, 1t is measured
to see exactly what proportion Of the
original remains. If three-f.fths Of 1t
have been accounted for, the owner
may shake hands with himself. It
will be redeemed for its full value. II
there is clearly less than three-fifths
and clearly more than two-fifths," the
owner may have to be content with q
$3.50 settlement.
However, there are instances when
q bill Is redeemed at face value even
though less than two-fifths of 1t can
be definitely identified. In such o case
the owner must sign an affldavit that
the rest of the money has been en-
tirely destroyed and present q certih-
cate Of good character.
But woe unto him who thinks he can
redeem two-fifths Of q bill today and
the remainder . year, five years or ten
years later. Uncle Sam has o remark
able memory-in nle.
