p,crAToRs OLD STUFF IN CENTRAL
AMERICA
(By BRUCE CATION


Political scraps among the nations OF
Central America have made little news
items for United States readers for years
And, noting that another general had
stormed palace and upset president, or
that a group of rebels were besieging the
legislature, our general reaction was
tolerant smirk and the light observation
that "boys will be boys"
Now, altering out of the jungle-bound
capitals of the isthmus, comes more dis
turbing peace of news. 1t is the. warning
cry that the bad boys there are tinkerlng
with ideas borrowed" from the trans-At-
lantic fascist Iron men,"
On the face of the report that Guate-
mala, Ell Salvador and Honduras have set
I'D a bloc of relationships for their mutual
protection against disturbing elements
coming across the border" there might at
first seem to be some basis for the alarm
At the bottom of the movement is the
fact that presidents of two of the nations
are serving second terms contrary to con-
stitution. Gen. Tiburcia CariaS Andino OF
four-year term, is still in office, General
Jorge Ubico, president of Guatemala, in
augurated Feb. IA, 1881, for a six-year
term, also is still in office.
These two men, with Gen. MaXimiliano
Martinez of Ell Salvador, hold the reins for
more than four and half million people,
including political prisoners, estimated at
from 1900 to 5000 in Honduras alone.
Many a page in these dictators' tactical
handbook parallels those followed in Euro
pean relationships. Presidential palaces
are guarded with machine guns; only the
army is paid decent wages, and in some
cases only the army is paid at all; substan-
tial 'menaces" are perpetuated for propa-
ganda purposes. Guatemala and Ell Saliva
dor have adopted Communism as their
"bete noir," while Honduras still is salts
fed to have the elementary common rebel
and soldier of fortune "gnawing at its in
situations"
Just how this fascist" concept managed
to get its start and grow to such proper
tions so quickly, thousands of miles from
the Italian and German centers of political
holiness, really isn't so mysterious. ..
The fact is that the one-man, strong-arm
dictatorship type of government was in
vogue in Central and South America before
Mussolini and Hitler were born. Testifying
to this are the long years which United
States marines and diplomats vainly spent
trying to democratize the governmental
processes of some of these temperamental
new world nations. ....-... .. ..
If anyone is afraid, then, that Central
America is doomed to be ravaged by the
germ of faseism and dictatorship, he need
only refer to the history of that area to
learn that its politicos can give any tyrant
on earth cards and spades and beat him
hands down at the tricks of the trade.

simple and inexpensive, but it had
charm. There were good prints on
the wall and books worth reading
on the shelves that fanked the
infinitesimal hearth. There was
an alabaster bowl filled with lilacs
on the low table beside the lounge

were two large, comfortable chairs,
a secretary desk and the raised
platform on which her drawing
board rested.
Busy with percolator, tray and
cups in her 'kitchenette, Mary saw
Tony out Of the corner of her eye
as he studied the sketches on her
drawing board. She sighed be-
cause this was not the time to ask
him how he liked them.
He was still bent over them,
frown between his fine eyes, when
she came back with the tray. She
put it down on the low table and
went to where has was standing.
There was a mute question in her
eyes.

Mary wasn't thinking of him as
her employer then. She was
reading a longing in his voice. He
was fellow artist. Frustrated,
thwarted by something she didn't
know. Boldly she said, "It's you
who ought to-"
When he didn't answer other
than to shrug his shoulders, she
added: "How do you think you can
run away from a pull like that?"
He sighed and turned her
fingers back. '"That pull was part
of yesterday"
AS though it were terribly i'm

But what about the endless tomor-

that could be as important as what

CHAPTER 4

MARY BARRETT stood her
ground silently until she could
control the trembling that shook
her as the accusation "spy'' pene-
trated. Stubbornly she chung to
the sleeve of the gown that Fran
cine Long was trying to pull away
from her.
It was a rather ridiculous scene:
the two women pulling at the
cloth as though they were children
struggling over a toy. Except
that it wasn't ridiculous because
the issue was too great.
At last Mary relinquished it and
her head came up proudly. She
said, But 1 /. -"
you're fired! Wen send you
your money -"
"Who's fired? And for what
reason?" Tony Castle asked from
the door.
Mary didn't move. F'rancine
whirled toward the door.
'"Tony, this should teach you a
lesson! Fortunately caught this
girl making a copy Of the Boucher
gown" Francine's voice answered
coldly.
~ was making a pattern to
study the cut Of the sleeve" Mary
said with as much, dignity as she
could command. That's ALL"
She unbuttoned her smock,
slipped her arms out Of it, placed
it neatly over the back Of a chair
and, with her head up, marched
past Tony and Mrs. Long.
She went into the locker room
and put on her hat, picked up her
gloves and pocketbook.
She gave no backward, regret
full glance to the empty workroom
that had become the center Of her
world as she marched proudly, and
angrily, past it and out the pas
sageway to the employees entrance.
Tony Castle was waiting for her
there.
"Hot-headed, aren't you ?" he
said, falling into step with her.
She didn't answer.
When she made to swing of in
her direction, he blocked her path,
taking her arm. Tempera-
mental ?"
Still she didn't answer: she
couldn't. Realization Of the enor-
nifty Of her failure was beginning
to cool Off her quick anger. So.
Tony's roadster stood at the
curb. The pressure Of his hand on
her arm propelled her towards it.
Get in,"' he commanded. ''You
need some cool air and fatherly
advice. Both Of which you'll get"
She got. in.
Tony began to. talk pleasantly
as the car swung into Fifth avenue
and he turned into Central park.
The proportions of Mary's ego
diminished as he talked and she
wished that she could tell him
what she could not-that she was
thoroughly .penitent. For Tony
said, nice things to hef, not the
harsh ones she had expected. He
said nice things about understands
ing her ambition, about, her will
to succeed and his faith in her.
Then he pointed out in kindly
way that, while Francine had been
cruel and hasty, she acted on a
right impulse. It was her loyalty
to the shop and quite natural
conclusion for her to form. Mary
must forget it, he said.
"You don't understand" Mary
said. II just can't go back"
Quitting? The first blow
swamps you?"
Her. eyes pleaded with him but
she couldn't say what she meant
to say. Flow can II" she asked
in a small voice.
He smiled. IT knew you weren't
a quitter!"
Mary felt then that no matter
what happened to her, it would be
all right.

back: I'm going to offer you an
