1t is not so very long since earn
est Americans were busy worrying
about the spread of Nazi propa-
ganda in South America.
Brazil had what looked very
much like a Hitler model govern
ment. Other large South Ameri-
can nations were slipping farther
and farther away from democracy.
German short-WaVe radio broad
casts were drenching the continent
with propaganda. Minority Euro
pean groups were organizing and
preparing to demand their right,
and altogether it looked as if the
Monroe Doctrine was being de-
storyed by a process of inflitration.
But there seems to have been a
serious hitch somewhere. Brazil's
government turns out to be pretty
stoutly anti-Hitler. The radio
propaganda is failing to have its
expected effect Different govern
ments are cracking down on the
minority groups. German-language
schools have been closed and for
eign political agitation has been
curbed, even though large German
and Italian language groups 10
remain devote to the cause Of the
leaders back home
South America in other words, is
not proving a very fertile field for
the planting of Nazi seeds. When
the dust finally settles things will
probably be Just about as they were
before the fuss started The con-
tinent's democracy viii still be i'm
perfect. of course, but it will not
be perverted by the importation of
some European ideology.
Which suggests that perhaps this
whole business of Nazism, or Ease
ism, is after all a European growth
which needs the peculiar condi-
tions of Europe in order to thrive.
Heaven knows that the world as
a whole has a great number of
problems TO solve. But nowhere are
these problems as pressing as they
are in Europe. Nowhere else do
they exert such uncomfortable pres
sures ON The common people.
For in Europe they are all in
tensited by tthe density of The
population, by the intensity of ma
tionalistic sentiments, by the
wreckage left by the World War,

business sent today to the Associa- tion's 10000 banking, manufactur- Ing, and wholesaling members.
 "The theory that our business ups and downs may be due to sun-spots or planetary influences is certainly open to doubt, but there seems to be little questioning of the fact that Mars--the God of War, not the planet--has influenced the current economic situation," MT. Heimann states.
 Business Is Better
 "There can be no denial that business prospects are good for the rest of the year. There Is every in- dication that business improvement will continue, with the usual pat tern of broadening prosperity structure rising on 8 continually broadening foundation.
 \ "The stock market recovery of the past few months was followed by betterment in the consumers goods field, particularly in shoes and tex- tiles. The railroads have experi- enced a slight measure of improve ment, although still in Q low state, and the bumper farm crops should aid the transportation industry as they are moved from farm to mar ket," says the credit executive.
 "An important sector in the eco- homie front is the capital goods in- dustry. The lack of durability in the recovery which ended year ago was largely due to the absence of the stimulus which activity In the capital goods field can provide.

LOCAL YOUTHS
 AT NOTRE DAME
Three Enrolled as Fresh men Members of Cen.
 tennial Class of l942

Notre Dame, Ind, Sept. l4-Spec- ial-Eight hundred and fifty fresh- men will enter the University of Notre Dame with the resumption of classes for the ninety-seventh scho- lastic year on September 18th.
 This years entering class, which will be the graduating class during the universityss centennial commen- cement in 1942, is in numbers of little less than in 1887. The univer- sity's total registration, however, remains unaffected, the student body being restricted in 3l00, the necessary limit fixed by university authorities in order that all students may live in campus residence halls. A few day students who live with parents or relatives in the South Bend area are the only exceptions.
 The class of l942 carries the same international flavor as that borne by It's predecessors, the new students coming from forty-four states, the District of Columbia, Canada, Mex leo, Panama, Puerto Rico, Cuba and the Philippine Islands.
 Three Waterbury students are en- rolled as freshmen. They are Fran cis Harding Ellis of 3e Wildwood avenue, Alfred Renato Petrocelli of l29 Adelaide avenue, and James John Scugliana of 56 Clifton avenue John D. Clancy of Ansonia is an- other Connecticut youth registered in the Glass of l942,

War Threats Booming Business In America
Three Outstanding Factors Studied By Experts to Place Credit for Decided Lift in Economic Conditions

Recent estimates of private acquisi- ton of plant and machinery, how ever, show a slow but steady rise in such spending.
 If this rise in capital goods acc tivity can parallel the improvement in the consumer goods field, & more stable foundation for the oncoming recovery will be established. And that recovery itself Is likely to last longer. Certainly the potential or- ders for railroad equipment, build- ing construction, obsolescent ma- chinery, new utility needs, to name a few, imply the possibilities inher. ent in capital goods recovery.
 Seasonal Trend Is Up
 "The seasonal downtrend in au- tomobiles is now over as production and distribution channels are open for the new models. Current &C., tivity, however, Is not up to last years level in this field, 6 state- ment that can also be made of many other fields including the production of bituminous coal, elec- tric power, petroleum and steel, as well as building construction, fac- tory employment, and merchandise imports and exports.
 "Wholesale inventories have been worked down rather generally and the July statistics revealed @ de- cline from six per cent above 1897 figures in January to 16 per cent below 1937 in July. If we couple this with the fact that the index of retail inventories in the same month was about equal to that existing in July, l936, which was before the late 1936-early 1887 buying wave, 1t is safe to expect that wholesalers will have to replenish as they ex- perience increasing orders from this point forward.
 What's Ahead?
 "In short, there has been con- siderable room for improvement in business. And we are now again ex- periencing the first exhilarating ef- fects of recovery, however, are de- pendent on many oftlisted factors. The months ahead will tell us more thoroughly how these factors are cooperating in the recovery. And by their cooperation shall we know how much and how long our re- covery will be-"
