Washington Observations
Lima Conference in December to Highlight
Roosevelt's Hemisphere Defense Program.

German, italian or Japanese attacks,
singly or in combination, would fall
upon the United States, but we
wouldn't bear it exclusively. The
A B G republics of South America
have good armies, sizeable little
navies and some air forces. Some
Of the smaller states have respect
able armed establishments, too, but
no coordination of hemisphere
resources for common defense has
ever been worked out. II the emer-
gency were suddenly to arrive, gen.
eral chaos would be in command.
Since the last regular inter Amer
ican conference in Uruguay in 1888
and the Maintenance of Peace Con-
ference in Argentina in 1896, Latin
American policies have been grad
ually reshaped. The trend is toward
greater inter-American solidarity.
closer economic and cultural ties and
a common New-World front toward
overseas political problems. Many
Americans have forgotten, if they
ever knew, that the Monroe Doc
trine, which will celebrates it's 115th
birthday anniversary when the Lima
conference meets, was originally con-
celved by the great Victorian
British statesman, Canning. Ever
since then John Bull has had virtu-
ally as much interest as Uncle Sam
IN preventing further European or
Aslatlc 1ncursion in the Western
Hemisphere. But with the British
Navy, since Munich-and Canton
forced to divert its attention to non-
transatlantic affairs, it's more nee
essary than it ever was before for
the American republics to paddle
their own canoe.
Secretary Wallace and the De-
partment of Agriculture have sud-
denly, and for the first time. bobbed
into the good neighbor" program.
In conjunction with the State De-
partment they've worked out a novel
scheme destined to see the light
at Lima. Broadly, it concerns ways
and means Of educating and help
ing Latin American countries To
grow and harvest a number of farm
and forest crops that would be non
competitive with anything raised
by American agriculture. The pur-
pose would be to create widened
demand in the United States for
the produce of Latin American soil.

purchasing power of the good

products of American manufacture

to crowd Yankee traders out of the

KENNEBUNKPORT
 MAY BE CHANGED

Kennebunkport, Me, March IT. (UP).-Booth Tarkington and Mar garet Deland, as friendly enemies in the feud, awaited the verdict of today's town meeting on proposal to change this villages century-old name to it's even more ancient name of Arundel-in honor of Kenneth Roberts book.
 Opposing the change, Tarkington from his winter home at Indian apolis, Ind, wrote:
 'Kennebunkport is an old and honorable name, full of character, and I confess, that for it, I have an affection of the type that would regret the change. I'm afraid, too, that in time we should all grow pretty tired of explaining why we changed the name"
 Though he favored paying MT. Roberts such a compliment" the author of "The Gentleman from h. diana" feared arguments over the pronunciation of Arundel should the name be adopted for this authors village.
 Advocating the change, Mrs. De- land believed the reaction of towns people was mot enthusiastic, but ''as a matter of common sense, I think the change would be a good one."

 Answers Many Questions
 "No contact as yet" he said. DO you believe it is a kidnapmg?" "Ab- solutely. There is no doubt about it." Do you think your child was kidnapped under the misapprehension that he was another child?" T don't know" Do you think the economic reason was the only reason?" T don't know" Do you think the ransom was the only purpose of the kidnaping?" T can't tell you that because I don't know" When do you intend to call in police and G. men?" Just now that question can't be answered. If and when they are I will let you know" How is Mrs. Levine?" Obviously doing as well as can be expected"
 Still Seeks Contact
 At this point Levine interjected: T am still trying to establish con- tact. In reply to a report that New York police have not been called into the case, nor have the state police or any other police agency. The New Rochelle police have promised to keep their hands off and so have federal police, and I have every reason to believe that they have kept their promise" Le- vine was asked if he had received any article of Peters clothing or any cher token indicating that he was still alive. There was," he said, some indication that he was alive and that I am dealing with the right parties"
 Will Drag Lake
 The continued silence of the kid- napers was taken by authorities to be foreboding sign, and they, too, feared that the child had been killed. Police hoped that Indian Lake in Crotona park in Bronx bor- ough, New York city, would be drained today, revealing whether an anonymous telephone tipster was merely crank or privy to the kid napers. He had informed police that the body would be found in the lake. His tip was not taken too ser- iously by authorities, but the lake is drained every spring, and it was de- cided to do it a little earlier than usual.
 There were reports also that per- sons with whom Levine had once had business dealings, had recently threatened him, and that this might have a connection with the kidnap- CTS. In his numerous public ppeals, Levine has never referred to the persons holding his son as "kidnap- ers," though he has informed them that he is ready and willing to pay for the boys release.
 It was revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the New York city police had been work ing secretly on the case. Last Thursday, acting independently, they arrested and questioned the same suspect. He demonstrated his inno- cence and was released.

Chairman Morgan OF IVA WiH Not Resign
(Continued from Page D

ward "easion and violations of the IVA act"
 President Roosevelts action was regarded as an inferential endorse ment of the majority's stand and an invitation to Dr Morgan to resign. This letter was dated Jan. 18.
 Conclusion of Letter
 Dr. Morgan concluded his letter to Maverick with these words:
 T am nearly 60 years old and many years ago deliberately gave up expectation of public career. l did not seek my present position in any way. It would be pleasanter to re- sign and do some of the many things I am anxious to get at. Yet, to sur- render the chance to make some contribution to decency and effec- tiveness in government does not seem to be the first course"
 Dr. Morgan said that Lilienthal and Harcourt Morgan had acted in unison," to displace him from Auth ority and that they are "purposely keeping important information from me" He added that under the cir cumstances it was difficult for me to know what was going on.
 There is in practice of evasion, intrigue and sharp strategy, with remarkable skill in alibi and the habit of avoiding direct responsi- bility, which makes Machiavelli seem open and candid"
 Charges of Morgan
 Dr. Morgan said that:
 l. Lilienthal and Harcourt Nor gan invariably vote together.
 2. His request for facilities to make definite reports have been re- fused.
 3. The present IVA situation is menace to good government and the longtime welfare of IVA.
 4. The public interest is not be- ing served by the present control.
 5. Explicitly false reports have been made to the President, to con- gress and to public concerning con- ditions in the IVA by the two di- rectors acting in unison.
 6. Sen. George L. Berry's de- mands for $500O,000 indemnity for marble quarries owned by him and flooded by the IVA water were "an effort at a deliberate, bare-faced steal"
