Latin Loans byU. 5.
Require Tighter
Finance Machinery
Nu:ions Need to Borrow
Experts, OffieioIdom
Here Believes
By the Asso CT ated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Latin-American governments will
have to borrow some financial ex-
perts before they can borrow dollars
from the United States Treasury,
usually well-informed ofiicials said
yesterday.
They explained that Secretary
Morgenthau's study of Latin -Ameri-
can loan possibilities was not an
offer to pour dollars into neighbor
tills without some certainty Of re-
payment.
These ofncials said Latin-Ameri-
can defaults on about 10 per cent of
their securities owned by private in
vestors in this country were not so
much lesson against lending In
Latin America as a warning that
loans must be safeguarded.
May Lend Technical Advisors.
They have in mind an obscure
statute Of the last Congress author
izing any Government department
to lend technical advisors to another
government. The first financial ad-
visors were scheduled to go to Brazil
to help set up central bank mod
eled on our own Federal Reserve
System, but President Vargas aboli-
ton of the Brazilian Congress also
abolished pending bills of that body
to set up the system.
One thing officials want Latin
American nations to do before get
ting loans Is to free their currency
exchange systems from the COM
plicated restrictions which some
times make it difficult for a Latin
American businessman to get the
dollars to pay for United States
merchandise. Peru is one Of the
few, II not the only, Latin American
country where the native currency
can be traded for foreign currency
without restrictions.
Need Better Bank Machinery.
Experts here also say some of the
Latin American countries could use
more elaborate central bank ma
chinery, both to improve internal
credit conditions and to help sta
bilize foreign exchange. With ade-
quate financial machinery to assure
conservation Of currency and ex-
change reserves. it is said, they
might be able to buy, perhaps on
credit, enough gold from this coun-
try to improve their monetary
position. The United States Treas
ury owns so per cent of the worlds
gold.
The experts also want the
amounts and purposes of the loans
geared closely to the needs and
abilities of the countries, and they
suggest the terms provide INSTALL
ment payments easy enough to pay
to avoid the temptation of default.

Sister Of Mdivanis,
Dies in Lausanne
Wife of Spanish Pointer
Grief-Strieken by
Brothers Deaths
~ tht Associated Press.

~ thu Associated Press.
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Dec. IT.
Mime. Jose Maria Sert, sister of
the tragic Georgian Mdivani princes,
died yesterday in Lausanne hos
pital after long illness.
The death of Nine. Sert, who
was still in her 30S, became known
only today after simple funeral
services in a Lausanne church
and burial in a nearby provincial
Swiss cemetery. She was the wife
OF the well-known Spanish painter,
whose murals are in New York S
Radio City.
Tragedy which worked itself into
the colorful and dramatic pattern
Of the lives of the five Mdivanis,
princes and princesses, made her
the third comparatively youthful
member Of the family to die in four
years.
Alexis Killed in 1885.
Prince Alexis Mdivani, who mar
ried Louise Astor Van Allen of New
York and Newport society, and later
Barbara Hutton, WoolWorth heiress,
was killed in an automobile acci-
dent at Albons, Spain, August 2
1885, less than three months after
his second wife obtained a divorce
In Reno and married Danish Count
Court Haugwitz-ReventloW.
A second brother, Prince Serge
who had been married to Pola Negri,
acress; Mary Mccormick, opera
singer. and finally to the former
Miss Van Allen, after her divorce
from Alexis, was killed seven months
later In a polo accident near Del
ray Beach, Fla.
A third brother, David, married
Mae Murray, motion picture actress.
They were divorced in 1888
Prince Alexis was killed a few
hours after leaving Nine. Sert's
home. Her friends said she never
recovered from the nervous shock of
. that night, which she passed alone
beside the body of her brother in a
little chapel between Barcelona and
the French border.
Mank Months in Sanatorium.
She had spent many months in a
Swiss sanatorium for treatment of
nervous disorders and was taken to
the hospital three days before her
death. Her grief over the death
of Alexis was accentuated when
Prince Serge was killed.
Neither her surviving brother,
Prince David, nor her sister, Princess
Nina, was able to reach her bed
side to be with her at death. The
only persons there were her hus-
band; Nina's husband, Denis Conan
Doyde, son of the late Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle, and friend, Mile
Chanel of Paris.
They attended funeral services
conducted by the Rev. Charles Gag
nebin. Burial was in the cemetery
of the village of ST. Saphorin, over
looking Lake Leman, between Lau-
same and Vevey.

going to get into trenches" she said.

'SIosher' Gives Psychologists
A Theoretical Chase
Experts Dig Into Mental Quirks
As Scotland Yard Hunts Shadow

Now let's go back to where Hall
fax, city of 100000. straddles a bleak
valley above the little, River Hebble.
Stolid-faced Chief Inspector Sails
bury. on the spot from Scotland
Yard, says it's still a question how
many slashers Halifax had. But
he denied report he had described
the original razor wielder as "a
myth
Officially Reassured.
Folks up there now have been
officially assured they can go about
without fear" which seems to show
Scotland Yard men think they have
sid" on the run.
For night after night, parties of
vigilantes armed with sticks and
whips marched through the gin
nels," or narrow passages, which
crisscross the old buildings of the
town.
Mill girls marched to work under
escort; housewives shivered behind
drawn curtains; burly milhands
snarled: We'll lynch i'm If we
get 'im!"
But whoever or how many "the
Slasher" turns out to be, these
November events make up pretty
problem in behaviorism.
One psychologist puts it this way:
"The question of why any one
wants to slash young ladies with
sharp instrument is unquestion-
ably the expression of an infantile
desire, and in certain neurotic cases
lies dormant in adult life.
"The normal obstacles to its graft
fication is simply that 1t is for
bidden' and the force of the ban
may lie in the suggestion that 1t is
mad morally wrong, obsence or
so odd that the person giving way
to 1t would be ranked as outside
the circle of civilized society.
Substitute Evidently Fails.
almost certainly it would still
find expreSsion-but in substitute
form. The person suffering from it
would have a special type of dream,
peculiar fantasy life, way Of
treating women which, to the
psychologist, might suggest desires
of this kind"
And here's what happens when
one of these fantasy men" starts
slashing and another hears or reads
about 1t:
He sees, first, that he is not
alone. His desire is, therefore, in
some way sanctioned. Secondly, he
feels a certain glorification in the
publicity.
How strongly q purely mental
force like this will operate is shown
by the strange, apparently unrea-
sonable way in which crime waves
Of slashing, Htriol throwing and
sadistic murder appear"
