he said, democratic government
throughout the Americas will
prove its complete ability to raise
the standards of life for those
millions who cry for opportunity
The presidents audience, includ-
ing President Getulio Vargas of
Brazil, was moved deeply by his
earnest address. and listened with
strained attention as he extolled
the efforts of Brazil for peace and
uttered such sentences as:
There is room for all of us
there is no American conflict which
cannot be settled by orderly and
peaceful means . we are happi-
ly free from ancient conflicts
which have brought SO much mis-
cry to other parts of the world"
Referring to the American

I'm this conference we have the
opportunity to Danish war from
the new world and dedicate it to

The motto of war is "let the
strong survive, let the weak die.
The motto of peace is let the
strong help the weak to survive.
World horizons may be dark,
he said, but the time Is auspi-
cious for our task in America
The rest of the world presents
grim picture of armed camps
and threats of conflict.
But in our own continent, arm
ed clashes in which the recent
years have split American coun-
tries, have been happily brought
to an end"

PEA HARVEST
INTER RUpTED
BY SHOWERS

Continued unsettled weather with
occasional light showers is the
weather forecast by Fred A.
Baughman local meteorologist for
the U. S. weather bureau.
Indications are that the storm is
a temporary one although there
is a chance that moderately heavy
rains may result.
Calipatria pea growers were
forced to abandon the harvest
Thursday due to the muddy con-
dition of fields and roads, the
rain having been considerably
heavier there than in the south
end, said Baughman. Brawley pea
growers were able to continue
picking Thursday
With lettuce ready to ship in
several fields, the rain may do
considerable damage if it conti-
nues with the combination of the
present warm nights. Aside from
the danger of blowing up, harvest
ing will be difficult If there is
much more rain.
Hay will be damaged and dairy
men will also suffer with addi-
tional rains.

AGED KING OF
MUNITIONS IN
EUROPE DIES
Zaharoff, Mystery
Man, Maker of
War, Passes

MONTE CARLO, Monaco,
Nov. 27. (UP) = Sir Basil
Zaharoff, maker of kings
and of wars, died today.
The aged seller of NUM-
tions to any government which
had the price amassed fabu-
lous fortune in his long career,
during which he traced finger
of blood across the map of Eu-
rope.
Sir Basil died suddenly of a
heart attack at the hotel Paris,
where he has been in seclusion.
He awakened at his regular hour
of 8 a. m. after peaceful night.
When his valet arrived at a. m.
with his breakfast, he found Zaha-
rolf dead.
His step-daughter, the Princess
of Bourbon, who has been staying
with him, was called to the death
bed.
zaharoff was believed to have
been SO years old, although the
exact circumstances of his birth
remained obscured, as did many
of the events and activities OF
his life. He was familiarly known
as 1.-The mystery man of Europe.
Death finally overcame him here
where he spent the last few years
of his life in inactivity forced by
his feeble condition.
A man about whom little was
known but much was said and
written, Sir Basil became the SUBJ
ject of a legend such as few men
have known in their lifetimes.
The power to make himself felt
where he seldom was seen gave
Zaharoff his colorful reputation.
Wealthy as CroeSus, the owner of
banks, railroads, hotels, theaters,
oil wells and mines, and the An
gel' of many kings and statesmen,
he was the secret force behind
tottering, fallen and newly es-
tablished thrones, infant republics
and young nations.
He was perhaps the armament
king of the world, dominant
shareholder in Vickens Maxim.
Krupps and Schneiders. 1t was Of
ten said zaharoff's money found
it's way into the war chests of
one or the other of the belliger-
ents in every war or revolution
since the beginning of the Gen.
tury.
Yet he was a lover of quiet and
seclusion. He liked to cook and
was exceedingly proud of one OF
his concoctions.
He was born of Greek parents.
In Constantinople he served as a
tourist guide in his youth. Later
he went to London.
He was an able linguiSt and that
helped him into his career of in
ternational salesman. He went to
Leningrad and closed several i'm
portant munitions contracts will
the Russian government for Wick
erS. He was SO successful he was
sent about Europe, Asia and AM
erica, selling high explosives, guns
and all other instruments of death
Huge contracts brought him fat
commissions and he invested the
money he made in this way in
munitions shares. At 40 he was
recognized as one of the worlds
biggest financiers.
The World War was a golden
business opportunity for zaharoff
His extensive interests in arma-
ment firms made him a sort OF
unofficial ministrer of munitions
| for the allies.

been played in several sections of
