President Roosevelt has announced
and is carrying out policy to the ef-

take care Of the unemployed. And so
long as the Federal Government Is
doing that, there are likely to be many
unemployed. There are many who
prefer to accept comparatively small
pay from Government relief projects
for doing the easy-going sort of work
that Government provides, rather than
get a higher wage for the harder work
that private employment provides. Un-
der the present arrangement, the Fed

unemployed who are supposed to be
able to work, while the States and

LATIN AMERICA SEES

Sad Truth Is That Legislation Is Hoped
For So Trade With Europe
Will Boom.

for without the sale of them Latin
America could not carry on. Certainly,
the United States would not be willing
own unsold agricultural products. And
the suggestion. advanced by some un-
realistic theorist, that the losses suf-
fered by the Latin-American coun-
tries from refusing to sell to bellig-
erent Europe could be made up by in
creasing trade among themselves is so
ignorant Of elementary economic facts
that it would be naive to even pause to
answer it.
As a matter of fact, it is just the
opposite-not the possibility of in
terrupting sales to Europe but the
prospect of increasing them with the
help of q strict United States en-
bargo-that may more properly ac-
count, among other reasons, for the
anxiety with which Latin-American
governments are awaiting the final
terms of the permanent neutrality leg
islation.
Sad, But True.
This is the. shall We say, sad reality
with which the advocates of all-inclu-
sive embargoes by the United States
will be confronted. For it is easy to
imagine how irresistible the pressure
of private interests longing for profits
may become, when 1t is realized that
such profits have been diverted toward
neighboring countries, prospering in
the absence of United States compe-
tition and gradually taking away from
the United States markets which at
the end of war could never be re-
captured fully.
Another reason for Latin American
interest In the current debates at the
Capitol is the question of embargoes
of arms and munitions in case of a
non-American attack against an
American country, although this could
be obviated by keeping the provision
in the present temporary neutrality
law excepting all the American repub-
lies from armed embargoes in such an
emergency. That this will be done, or
some similar rule adopted, is most
likely in view of the several agree
ments signed recently at the Inter-
American Conference for the Main
tenance of Peace calling for joint con-
sultation and mutual assistance when
ever the peace of the continent is en-
dangered.
Still another aspect Of the impend-
ing neutrality bill which is of par
ticular interest to Latin America Ii

T ATTN AMERICA is following
with great interest the current
deliberations at Washington
on permanent neutrality legis-
lation, but the reason for such interest
has been misinterpreted by some OBJ
servers.
The attention Of Latin American
statesmen has been drawn toward the
neutrality proceedings because of GER
tain specific questions of importance
to them, and not, as some have sup
posed, because of desire to initiate
the policy finally adopted by the
United States and, thus, establish q
common front to insure complete iso-
lation Of the American continent
from all trading with European ma
tions at war.
The impossibility of this latter OBJ
jective has already been discussed here
in comment upon the alleged failure
Of the Buenos Aires Conference to
set up an air-tight embargo of Latin
American raw materials in the event
of an outbreak of war anywhere in the
world. In spite of the fact that the
conference was never expected to do
such thing, except in the imagina-
ton of certain press correspondents,
and in spite Of the fact that all the
original proposals submitted at Buenos
Aires were most explicitly confined
to wars between American countries
which is an entirely different thing
the theory that Latin America may
be persuaded to adhere to a CONT
mental embargo is being cited, again,
by advocates of strict United States
neutrality scheme.
Latin America Lives OF Exports.
The proponents of such q theory
overlook some fundamental facts. The
United States is practically a self
sustaining country and it could, after
some painful readjustments, do very
well without the European trade
which might be the price Of neu-
trality, although it would have a hard
time resisting the pressure of private
interests craving profits.
But the Latin American are coun-
tries which, literally speaking, live
OF the exports of their raw materials,
in many cases exclusively Of one or
two main products. Particularly in
South America, the greater part of
such exports 60 to Europe. Before the
proposition that Latin America should
assist in forming q common neutrality
front with the United States Is taken
seriously at all, 1t will have to show
where those exports may b diverted.

can use But nothing the administra-
ton can do will avert imitation surely
except the balancing of the budget. So
long as the administration continues
to pay out more than 1t takes in Moth
ing else it does can surely prevent the
disaster. So long as the budget is not
balanced the other steps will become .

licenses were refused. But these acts,
both British and American. violated
the old-estabhshed international law.
In practice, the two governments
which have acted most correctly
among the great powers have been
those of London and Washington. The
action of the French government in
preventing arms being sold to the
legitimate government of Spain was
a matter of expediency, but was con-
trary to international law. On the
other hand, the wholesale supply of
munitions, airplanes, tanks and the

NEEDS URGED AS SOLE
ARCHITECTURE BASIS
New York Skyscraper Designer
Opposes pretty Pictures in
Rebuilding America.

Pretty pictures" should be dis
carded in rebuilding America, and
orl, the needs and purposes OF the
population should be considered,
William Lescaze, New York skyscraper
architect, declared in a recent address
to the friends of the Cooper Union
Museum for the Arts Of Decoration,
in New York City.
I'VE are slowly beginning to realize
that we have not had any architecture
deserving of the name during the last
100 years" Mr.. Lescaze said. We
nave been giving ourselves SO whole
heartedly to the thrilling task of push
ine frontiers and making mechanical
discoveries that there has been no
time left for thinking about real archi-
lecture and doing it the way it should
be done. Instead, designing buildings
has become genteel game OF looking
at pictures in books and trying to fit
our needs into these pictures
What has been the trouble? We
have forgotten to practice thinking
thinking for ourselves and for the
benefit of our fellow mel, thinking
what architecture is all about II we
had done little bit of thinking
surely we would not have let things
reach that kind of pathetic chaos
which they have reached today"

ELECTRICAL AIDES
IMPROVE MARKET
Small Added Investment to
Insure Modern House Pays
Real Dividends.

Interest in home building and mod
ernization is at fever heat. Some 425,-
900 new homes will be built this year.
OF this number 10 per cent will be
built to sell for $4,000 to $500; 60
per cent, or approximately 225,OO0, at
an average Of $4,000. The May cleo
trical home issue of Electrical Mer-
chandising points out in this connec-
ton that the builder and buyer OF a
$4,000 house can get full electrical
ton for an additional $500.
BY taking the amount allocated for
inadequate wiring and lighting, for
an ordinary heating system for a less
than modern kitchen, and adding the
amounts necessary for adequate Wir-
ing, good lighting, automatic heat and
humidif1cation, an electrical kitchen,
the purchaser will increase the cost Of
his home by only about 10 per cent.
The home builder benefits not only
In vastly more comfortable living, the
publication states, but in a greatly en-
hanced resale value for his home. The
utilization Of electricity for domestic
purposes has jumped IS per cent since
1929. This is the trend and it is &C.
celebrating. The more complete the
classification, the greater the insur-
ance against owning an obsolete, un-
marketable property.
There is also opportunity to be found
In electrical modernization of existing
homes. In Niagara Hudson Systems
survey on what people want in hous-
ing, II POT people set down their wants
IN detail. Five major dissa atisfactions
specifically related to electrical prob
lens, including mot enough electrical
outlets cant heat rooms properly"
poor kitchen arrangements" poor
hot-water heater" and lighting fix
lures glary."
The American standard of living
mas been raised, but people have suf-
Tered for years from the inadequate
wiring and equipment that were the
rule IN home building and home mod
ernlzlng of the past. In 1924 an
analysis OF 5000 homes showed an
average of "a convenience outlets.
AL that time conservative IDEAL
was 10 convenience outlets. TODAY
the home is little better in respect to
connected lighting and outlets, while
40 to so convenience outlets are rec
ommended
Although complete electrical home
Is luxury, it is the finest of in
Vestments. 1t is not expensive to
create and is a means to more econ
omical as well as more pleasant liv-
ing. 1t adds only a small percent
age to the cost of new homes, and
right now can be financed on basis
that may never come again.
F. H. A. financing has never been
FULLY utilized to promote the use of
appliances in the home. Under F.
H. A. 20-year mortgages, amortized
monthly, the cost of equipping the
average small home with electric
kitchen, automatic heating with VIM
ter air conditioning, electric water
heater, good lighting and adequate
wiring costs the owner only a few
dollars month above the ordinary
carrying charges over the mortgage
period. The monthly payment Of
the 20-year F. H. A. mortgage is
S.12 month for each $1,000. In
other words, S7.12 a month will paw
for $1,000 worth of installed electrical
appliances, air conditioning and wIr-
Ing.
