civilians. Owe lost my spy job for

her for one split second, diplomats or
no diplomats. We think she was a
goldarned idiot for trying a silly stunt
and wounding the British Ambassa-
dor. But even that, annoying to Bri-
tain and all of us loyal dominions,
doesn't give us one f1utter of fear that
Nippon needs us.
Two countries would be difficult to
conquer: Australia and the United
States. We are more useless than you
in many respects. A narrow fringe
of splendid soil swings round a con-
tinent as big as your country. Inside
are stretches of desert worse than
you can imagine. I have been through
it. I have trekked with camels over
waterless stretches more than 400
miles square. It's not possible to build
military roads there. And assuming
100000 japanese landed at Darwin in
the north (see your map) and begin
to march. they would not have enough
to eat or drink before they had gone
100 miles.
So what?
So this: North Of Australia is Java,
infinitely richer in produce within its
limits than Australia. Do you ever
hear of the Dutch worrying them
selves about japanese aggression?
They're thousands of miles nearer
Nippon than We are-and thousand
times more cool about Japan than any
other nation on earth.
They do what we do. They have a
little army, almost a toy, and a little
navy. That's just for show and coast
guard services. We have a gun at
Darwin and the incest artillery men,
who dance well and play good tennis.
We have naval sloops, too. One, the
Larrakia, arrested several Japanese
sampans the other day for poaching
on our pearl shell fields. But the
Larrakia had faulty engines and broke
down. So the polite japanese sam
pans, in the process of being arrested,
bowed and asked permission to tow
their captor into port, which they did.

skilled crafts. The situation today is
partly due to rebound" from de-
preston conditions.
But there are many other causes,
some of at least equal importance The
restriction of immigration shut off a
supply which for a century had fed
American industry with the best type
of European craftsmen. Not only were
the mere number of such foreign born
workmen missed, but more especially
their morale, spirit and pride in the
finished product. The inheritance of
the guilds in the middle ages with their
emphasis upon high standards of
workmanship was lost. Instead it has
been replaced by mass production,
automatic machinery and the stamp
ing out in large measure of individual
effort in American shops and factories.

the League of Nations is con-
flrming the increasing inf1u-
Il ence of Latin America in the
Geneva councils and demonstrating,
once more, that in union there is
strength.
A long period of coldness and lack
Of interest in the League had pre-
vailed south of the Rio Grande fol-
lowing the inability Of the Geneva
statesmen to handle properly some
Latin American problems. In the last
few years, however, the Latin Ameri-
can governments, probably moved by
a desire to profit automatically from
the privileges of League membership
and by their own failure to find other
outlets for the solution of their feuds,
have been rejoining in the Leagues
activities, as if they had renewed their
once lost confidence in Geneva.
Some time ago. convinced that so
long as they acted separately their
voices would not be heard, the Latin
American delegates to the League de-
cided to form regional bloc for the
exercising of joint action Alone, they
had been disregarded; together, they
could be in position to make their
influence felt, if only by their number.
Latin American Jurists Named.
AS soon as the announcement of
this peace alliance" among the Latin
American representatives was made
reports were spread in international
circles that the Latin American bloc
would Immediately press for larger
participation in the World Court, the
permanent tribunal of justice created
by the League. The reports we're con-
firmed by the appointment of three
noted Latin American jurists to The
Hague bench.
Naturally, together with the grow
ing prestige of Latin America at Ge-
neva, there developed sudden interest
among the Leagues directors to cul-
tlvate and increase the sympathies of
the Latin American governments to-
ward the League. 1t was, undoubted-
ly, with this in mind that the Leagues
Council acted rapidly in the case of
the f1rst border clashes between Bo-
livia and Paraguay over the Chaco,
later in 1928, and collaborated in
averting a serious crisis. Later on,
when new differences brought, again,
the two Southern republics to the
point of bayonets and finally precipi-
tated the Chaco War, in June of 1882,
the League tried repeatedly, though
without avail, to put an end to the
armed hostilities. Its failure to do
SO could not be taken as measure
of its impotency in nom European af-
fairs-as some short-sighted observers
proclaimed-for other instrumental
ties Of peace were no more successful
in stopping the Chaco warfare until
three years later.
In the interim, there followed
series of visits and personal tours of
the Latin American capitals by some
of the high officials of the League, in
cluding its then secretary general, Sir
Eric Drummond. These visits gave
the League considerable amount of
free publicity throughout the conti-
nent and helped 1t to establish new
contacts and leave behind competent
agents and correspondents, while to
the Latin American governments they

Specialization Expanding.
American industry is attacking the
problem presented by the shortage of
skilled labor with several points in its
favor. Although the trend toward
more automatic methods of produc-
tion may partly overcome the shortage,
at the same time, science and research
are creating more and more highly
specialized jobs. The wide expansion
of machinery in the automobile in
dustry in Detroit, for example, is
creating a new class of skilled work.
men. They are specialists, and their
experience places them above the top
ranks and pay rates of regular skilled
craftsmen. Thus new incentives re-
place the old. Invention paves the
way for the highest type of craftsman
ship.
The students at technical voca-
tional and continuation schools are
receiving more thorough education
with better equipment than ever be-
fore. The development Of State-city
financed schools in New England is an
example.
There also has been a widespread
revival of industrial training in many
establishments. Companies with we'll
developed training programs, even
though these we're maintained as
skeleton organizations during the de-
preston, have been least hit by the
skilled-labor shortage. Their training
programs have proved = dividend
paying policy.
In Detroit the apprentice schools
and job and foremen training pro-
grams of great companies such as
General Motors, Chrysler, Ford and
Packard, are being expanded and made
more comprehensive. New courses are
being added to meet the needs Of new
operations.
A New Jersey corporation has tried
another method of training their
younger workers. Instead of regular
and formal training, the conference
method was adopted; the employees
developed their own subjects on their
own time and leadership was supplied
by the company. Labor turnover was
materially reduced, morale increased
and a new group of skilled labor
created.
Thus, through surveys Of man power
and industrial relations, through
mechanical changes, improved educa-
tional opportunities and revamplng OF
company and apprentice training,
American industry is seeking to over
come the present dearth of skilled
craftsmen and to preserve its leader.
ship Ia the world.
Evening star., 1937-09-26

A portion Of skilled labor in the
pre-crash era went into business for
themselves or were absorbed into the
expanding garage and service station
trade. Others were drawn into the
newer industries, such as aircraft
production, radio repair and air con-
ditioning. A smaller percentage were
promoted out Of the ranks into fore
men and other supervisory positions.
Social and economic factors also
we're involved The white collar"
appeal was often stronger than the
overall" to many young men. The
long training period Of apprenticeship
likewise seemed irksome. In addition,
the management Of small shops in
many instances usually took the
position that they possessed neither
the equipment nor financial resources

BLACKS APPOINTMENT
SEEN AS REVENGE ACT
Roosevelt Was Mad at Court, Senate and
His Southern Critics,
Writer Saws.

This condition added a third anger
to the two Mr.. Roosevelt already had.
All three angers could be satisfied by
appointing Mr.. Black to the Supreme
Court. BY appointing Mr.. Black he
could say, "Ill show you" to three
groups at once, three groups whom
he regarded as enemies, the Supreme
Court, the Senate and the Southern
conservative members of the House.
I imagine 1t will be found that Mr..
Roosevelt's final decision to make the
appointment came within few hours
Of the time he heard that the Black

BALTIMORE, March 26 GIN.
SO.-Harry K. Thaw was well out
on the Atlantic today bound for
Berlin for dental repairs and re-
lief from eye strain.
He drove here from his Win
chester, Va, home in an auto
mobile which he parked in a
garage and ordered a motor COM

When he leaves the Berlin hos

French spa and reduce his weight
by II pounds. He weighs 212
pounds now.
The heir to $40,000,oo0 and
slayer of Stanford White, the
architect, in 1905, also purchased
a new typewriter before he sailed.
He used this to write telegraph
messages to friends and business
associates.
ThaW said he fired his secretary
