VARGAS H|TSFOES
Of SHIPS LEASING
Brazil Not Bound to Explain
Intention in Deal With
U. S., He Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY he Associated Press.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, August
14-President Getulio Vargas of Bra
zil, in curt statement tonight, de-
clared that Brazil does not hold itself
bound to explain to any third nation
its intention to lease naval vessels
from the United States.
Earlier the Brazilian foreign Office,
in a press statement regarding the
proposal to leave six overage Destroy
ers from the United States, said dan
ger of an armaments race in South
America could originate only in Ar
gentina.
The statement observed that neither
Brazil nor Argentina was a party to
the London naval treaty invoked by
Foreign Minister Carlos Saavedra La
mas of Argentina in critcizing the
proposed destroyer deal.
Moreover, apparently none of the
parties to that treaty raised the
slightest objection to the leasing, a
method of transaction not covered in
that international instrument the
statement continued.
Argentine Ship Orders Listed.
1t listed orders placed by the Ar
gentine Navy with British and Ar
gentine shipyards for building
school ship, 7 destroyers and 10 mine
sWeepers A report of the "Argen-
tine ministry of marine" was quoted
as saying a considerable number of
auxiliary vessels would be added
"Argentina's two battleships, more
powerful and more modern than ours,
recently were modernized and, in 1881
and 1882, two new cruisers and three
submarines were added to the Argen-
tine battle fleet" the statement said
In the matter of airplanes and
land implements of war no other
Latin American country can take the
palm from our friend and neighbor,"
it added.
Argentine Objection Curious"
The statement said it was curious"
that it would be the foreign min
istry of Argentina, and not the Gov
ernment of the United States, which
finds the leasing contrary to the neu-
trality law promulgated by the United
States.
Then it added: eve regret that
We do not believe in the sincerity of
the allegation that the system of leas-
Ing small ships already out OF COM
mission would lead to an armaments
race"
Diplomatic sources said they in
terred the Presidents statement
meant Brazil would lease six over
age United States destroyers If the
United States Government received
Senate authorization.

.EUROPE'S BUYING
FORWAR A|DSU.S.
Exports Gain, but Threat
Lies in Sudden Ces-
Sati0n.

Europe's present war boom, which
grows bigger each week, is beginning
to be reflected in this country in ex-
panded business in foodStuf1s and
armaments.
While. rs yet, it is true that the
spending Of the Federal Government
ON w. P. A., P w A. and A. A. A.
projects is still the major factor III Cur
economic recovery, war buying by Old
World nations is becoming increasingly
important
Europe and Asia want to build up
their grain supplies and the price OF
American wheat responds in sensa-
tional fashion. The Old World wants
ever more scrap iron, copper. oil and
other raw materials, as well as ma
chinery and motor trucks. Finally, the
demand for ever bigger navies Is
leading the United States into ship
building program, the end Of which
is not yet in sight.
Iron Exports Soar.
Figures on our export trade, rs re-
leased b ythe Department of Com
merce during recent weeks, show that
exports Of iron and steel scrap, which
are basic in building up armaments
increased from $4,000 tons in May
1885, to GAL 900 tons in May, 1897,
with an increase in value from 81, 5O0,-
900 to more than $l3 100000
In May last year $24,000,000 worth
Of American petroleum was sold
abroad. This year the figures are more
than $33 100000 Exports OF finished
iron and steel products during the
same period increased in value from
s75000,0 600 to sl9,400,000.
Similar advances in both quantity
and value are recorded for shipment
or other, but less primary products.
BY far the largest proportion of the
gain made in the sales of American
products abroad during the past year
is IN raw materials and finished goods
that apparently can have meaning
only in war preparation or in war use
Admittedly the total of our exports
some $500 100000 each months
not drama ticallv important in COM
parison with the domestic business Of
this country.
May Topple World Economics.
The question Of immediate concern
to Americans is tand this is reflected
in the official Government view here
in Washington whether this war
preparation in the Old World will ac-
tually result in hostilities, with unpre-
dictable results on the economics Of
the entire world.
Another question of concern is, what
If this preparation should suddenly
cease? More than one official in Wash
ington privately admits there might
be another serious upset and depres-
sion resulting in the loss of jobs by
millions of workers in Europe.
Moreover, these troubles on the older
continent probably would be reflected
in sharply decreased foreign demand
/ for our commodities and industrial
products. Then there might be def1a-
ton again and all the dreary success
sion Of business failures, bank stop
pages and Government interferences

BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, August l4-Ernest
Hemingway, the writer, insisted today
that the hair on his chest was real
and offered to spank Max Eastman
If necessary TO prove it.
The 2o0pound Ernest proudly
waved a book marked with smudge
he said came from Eastman's nose
without Eastman's consent, but the
warrior in him still clamored for re-
venge for Max's crack about false
hair"
The clamor was heard all over the
cabin salon of the liner Champlain,
aboard which Hemingway sailed for
Spain to cover war not his own.
Takes Stance. Fists Raised.
why, that guy never threw punch
in his life" Hemingway shouted, TAX
ing stance with fists raised.
Why. one Of these days I'm going
to spank him.
Esayist Eastman was nowhere
around to defend his claim that he
stood Hemingway on his (Heming-
way's) head in publishers Office, so
Ernest punched away at the shadows
on the salon wall.
Exhilarated after night Club "vic-
tory dinner-''defeat" dinner il you

Tunney and Charles Francis Coe, the
bull fight enthusiast pulled out Of his
pocket book.

publishers office

He opened it to the page where
Eastman made the remark that Hem
ingWay wrote with false hair on his
chest" On the page was a smudge.
The smudge, he said, came off East
mans nose

added presently, reverting to military
history again. II told him. Max, if
you were 10 years younger, I'd knock
you blankety blank blank wham.'"
Hemingway wound up as the sailing
whistle blew, with "reminiscences about
the old days when he used to knock
sideshow pugilists around just to make
sure the cracked-wheat-an and gluten
bread was keeping him fit.
Find out" he growled, what did
