 The United States is not going to "toss in its hand" in the South American game without a struggle. And 1t holds some strong cards.
 Two primary interests have ale ways influenced the playing of those cards. One was the Monroe Doctrine, now Q Pan-American pol- lev, which forbids overseas nations from getting a territorial foothold in the Americas. The other was trade.
 Today the two are closely linked together. German, Italian and Jap- anese efforts to get South Ameri- can trade are one with their "cul- tural penetration" and their efforts to exert @ domestic political infiu- ence which will itself bring more trade.
 Most of the "totalitarian" meth- ods are not availale to the United States. But 1t has other methods and excellent ones.
 The Rooseveltian good neighbor" policy has rubbed out much of the distrust which South and Central America has long held for "The Colossus of the North" And 1t comes ct time when the failure of the League of Nations has dis- illusioned many in South America about associations in that quarter. The goodwill and disinterestedness of the United States is trusted as never before.
 Now It's Machinery
 Trade ties with the United States are still strong. Much of the trade taken over from the warning nations of Europe during the World War rec mains with the United States. But the nature of that trade Is chang ing.
 Up to 1920, nearly oil trade of South American nations was in the export of raw materials, and import of basic manufactured goods They would send out cotton and get back shirts. Now the leading countries are becoming industrialized. They make their own shirts.
 But somebody has to sell them the shirt-making machinery, and 1t might aS well be tho United States. This change IS followed by D rise in the standard of living, and the southern countries begin to be D market for machinery, luxuries md specialized products.
 The magnificent airway that Pan. American flung Into the teeth of the depression not only girdles the con- tinent, but brings Buenos Aires within six days of New York instead of i8 days. It has done wonders in South America United States conscious" It has also opened up c good market for machinery by spare parts quickly avail- able.
 To make the most of this ad- vantage, airmail postage to Cen- tral and South America was cut about 32 per cent December l.

HOUSE UNIT VOTES
REORGAN|z|NG BILL
Third of Administration
Measures Approved by
Committee.

The third Of the administration
Government reorganization bills, which
provides for replacing the Civil Service
Commission with an administrator and
an advisory committee and extending
the merit system and the classification
act, was reported favorably to the
House today.
Chairman Cochran OF the House Re-
organization Committee announced
that the fourth reorganization bill!
probably will be reported Friday, and
that he will make an effort for passage
Of both measures before Congress ad-
journs.
The committee report submitted by
Chairman Mead Of the Reorganization
Subcommittee in charge of the meas
ure. asserted:
The graetest stumbling block to
the advancement of civil service in
this country has been inefficient ad-
ministration; the greatest step for
ward is to be achieved through i'm
provement of administration. The
central civil service agency, like the
Bureau Of the Budget, with its single
head, is a managerial agency of the
executive department. The board
form Of organization is as equally
unSuited for personnel administration
as it would be for budgetry admins
tration."
Mead explained that the proposed
Civil Service Board of seven members
would exercise important investigatory
and advisory authority, serving as a
watchdog on the merit system. Mem
bers of this board would be represent
atives of business industry labor, edu-
cation and other walks of life inter-
ested in the promotion of an eff
cient civil service.
