washington, Dec. 17.-Treaties and agreements signed at the Pan American conference, the admins tration secretly hopes, will have 8 tendency to discourage economic and political penetration in South America by Germany, Italy, and Japan. 2
 This consideration was, one of those which moved Roosevelt to go to Buenos Aires and to throw the United States 50 whole -heartedly into the conference. It's one reason why American diplomats are de- lighted over the atmosphere of ram pant good will in which the new Pan-American peace treaties have been signed.
 There you find the significance of Roosevelts hardly yelled criti-
 cism of Nazi or Fascist govern
 ments in his tribute to democracy.
 For some time the state depart
 ment has been concerned over .
 loss of American trade caused by
 the German practice of paying
 for imports from South America in marks which can be used only for purchase of German goods.
 Unonicially, this is sometimes re- ferred to as blackjack stuff," since the other country must accept the arrangement under penalty of hav- ing the German market closed to her exports. ~
 Only a totalitarian state can operate that way or meet such com- petition.

 In fact, this is so true in contrast to the unspectacular man who is now king, that British newspapers 8 few years ago fell into the habit of printing little items like this: "The Duchess of York, accompanied by her husband, will leave London on Tuesday next for Scotland :"
 It required some pointed official suggestions to remind the editors that, after all, 1t was the Duke who was a kings son, and directly in line to reign, M

ThIs iS the first of three St0s
 ries telling what kind of . wO-
 man k Elizabeth. gracing the
 throne as England's new queen. By NEA Service
 London, Dec. IT - Britain's new queen might well be described by this phrase: "the woman every fond mother wishes her favorite son would marry"
 From her birth as the untitled daughter of the 14th Earl of Strath- more, through a happy and simple girlhood unmarked by any great surfeit of money, Elizabeth Bowes- Lyon grew up with every quality that marked her as a mother-in- laws ideal.
 She had the bluest of blue blood. was pleasantly pretty (but not too pretty), had good health, good tenn per, tact, intelligence, frugality, re- spectability beyond whisper of re- proach, and fine sense of respoa- sibility and duty.
 These are important elements that make a queen. It is not sur- prising that, when the Duke of York's love for the earIs daughter was declared, Queen Mary took her immediately to her heart.
 The tuteiage and counsel and the quasi-parental love of the Queen Mother have had and always will continue to have an inspiring effect on the present queen.
 SeriOus-and Fun.LOving
 So much has been written about the virtues of the new queen that 1t is possible to build her into Q stiff -and -starched unrehlity. This would be gratuitous.
 The duty first" side of Queen Elizabeth stands plain, open on the record, for all to see, and will, those who know her feel confident, be increasingly revealed as the new royal couple assume the burden of the monarchy.
 But the lighter side of the "braw Scotch lassie" who has become Britt aims queen is no less revealing, be- cause it shows that on the throne beside George VI there sits a human being as well as a queen.
 For example, throughout her youth, Queen Elizabeth signed her name in letters to intimates as Liz 1e." That is not usually the act of one who is position-proud. She con- tinued the practice until long after her marriage had made her Duchess of York. 4
 Attending a musical comedy once while duchess, she heard a popular song called "Lizzie," which amused her 50 much that she insisted the Duke accompany her to a later per- fornance to hear 1t.
 But in the meantime, the Lord Chamberlain had heard about the Lizzie" song, and had 1t cut out of the show.

Bridesmaid Then Bride

To observe how time and chance affect even royalty, it is only neces- sary to note that 1z years ago, in 1922, a comparatively unknown Scot- tish lass was chosen as representa- tive of her distinguished family to be a bridesmaid when the Princess Mary, sister of the present king, was married to- Viscount, Lascelles.

"Thane of Glamis and of Cawdor."
 Many visitors come to see 1t, in- cluding many Americans. A servant is usually told off" to show visitors the public portions of the castle. One day Elizabeth, then teen-age girl, dressed herself in a maids uniform, and received such guests.
 Many, pleased with her apparent knowledge of the castle and its tra- ditions, offered her gratuities. So there may be today living, certain travellers who can remember having tried to tip the future queen of Eng land.

Of Ancient Lineage

Because the present queen was born 'commoner." 1t must not be felt that her lineage is lindistin- guished. On the contrary, 1t means only tha. as youngest daughter of the Earl of Strathmore she was uri- titled.
 Her blood traces back to William the Conqueror, Alfred the Great. and Charlemagne. And Robert II, first Stuart king of Scotland, is an indirect common ancestor of both Queen Elizabeth and King George VI.
 Glamis Castle, most impressive of the seats in the 14th Earl of Strath- more, is probably the oldest inhabit- ed house in the British Isles. But 1t is only one of the properties of the Earl, and in 1900 the family was staying at St. Paul's Waldenbury, HertfordShire, comparatively small red brick Queen Anne house.
 There, on Aug. 1900. a daughter, one day to be, queen of England; was born to the Earl and Countess of Strathmore.
 But nobody knew 1t then. She was just 8 pink-and-white wisp of lovely Scotch babyhood.
 NEXT: A prince comes wooing- and proposes three times before he can persuade . "commoner' 'to share His future lot.

Fascists Chisel In

Nazi propaganda and some colon ization goes along with trade. Ger man influence is said to have be- come especially strong in Brazil. Recurrent creation of new Fascist groups in one Latin American coun- try or another has been carefully noted in Washington.
 To lesser degree the Italian in- fiuence in South America also has been strengthened. And the state department has known for long time of certain Japanese shenani- gans on the west coast of South and Central America, which appear to involve military-naval espionage as well as trade offensives and over lures to Latin American politicians. The Spanish ambassador is un- derstood to have warned Roose- welt that Fascist victory in Spain would have Latin American reper- cussions, thanks to Italian and Ger man groups already operating be- low the Panama Canal and the irl- variable reflection of Spanish events in Hispanic countries.
 Roosevelt's immediate reaction to this warning against rise of a strong Fascist movement in Latin America hasn't leaked out. But he kept the ambassador with him for two hours and subsequently, decided to go to | the Pan American conference.
 She Made a Friend of Gus
 Here's another story about the late Gus Gennerich, Roosevelt's bodyguard and close friend, who died in BuenoS Aires. Gus was a guest at . semi- fashionable cocktail party in
 Washington and 8 woman he did
 not know became boisterous and prOfane in her dcnunciation of
 Roosevelt. Gennerich glowered
 and his face became red, but he
 said nothing. .~4
 Then a second woman announced
 to the first that if she didn't leave the party she would throw her out ] bodily. The lady with the hate on
 Roosevelt left. '
 Many times after that the sec- ond woman received notes and
 small souvenirs of presidential
 trips, mailed by Gus.
