this, all South and Central Ameri-
con armies mad navies would CO.
operate with the United States in
repelling an attempted invasion of
any American country.
On paper this plan sounds fine.
There isn't much doubt that
combination of all-American mill
tary and naval forces could repel
any invasion-if it came as an
armed attempt to conquer a coun-
try or a continent.
The trouble is that a foreign in
vasion probably won't come that
way. The newer method is to bore
from within and to annex a gov
ernment by propaganda and con-
version, infiltration, trade conceS-
sionS and influence.
The military alliance idea is
great, but it is just as much to
the point to watch present meth
ods being employsd in Central Eu-
rope and to find a way to fight
fire with fire, if we really want to
keep the Americans free of for
eign dominance.

Famous Sayings --
Bruce Cation Says
- The Americans Ask: After Europe, What Next?

For many years South and Cen
tral American people have pro-
claimed resentfully against any
thing that looked even family like
protection on the part of the Unit
ed States. Today they are still pro-
claiming publicly, but not as re-
sentfully, and reports from certain
South American Foreign Offices
indicate that privately the resent
ment has just about disappeared.
For South and Central America,
along with the rest of the world,
are watching the European situa-
ton and specializing on the tu-
ture. Our southern brothers have
seen members of the League OF
Nations and signatories of the
Briand-Kellogg anti-War pact IN
vading the territories of other lea
cue members and pact signatories,
and they are considerably disil-
lusioned about the values OF trea-
ties and pacts.
The have looked around at their
own continent, rich in raw mater
ials but relatively poor in military
strength. and some of the pictures
they can conjure up aren't too
pleasant.
So these South and Central
American leaders have begun to
look toward the United States for
protection, and to consider that
perhaps Uncle Sans navy is the
strongest barrier between them and
potential invasion
And according to correspond
entS. South American governments
have been exchanging views on a
project for an inter-American mil
itary and naval alliance. Through

President WcNutt? ;.
is Good as the Newt
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHINGTON. - High Commits
sioner Paul V. MCNutt'S chances for
the presidency in 1910 seem to be
about as good as those of anyone
else.
That statement means nothing at
all except that no presidential pos
sibility can be said at this time to
be nearer the goal than any other
that all nagS are still at the post
and that no one can yet forecast
weather conditions or the state of
the track.
The big blowout organized here
in McNutt's honor by Senator Sher-
man Minton and other Democratic
admirers from Indiana, although
razzed by most commentators and
largely boycotted by the administra-
ton, did give the commissioner to
the Philippines a huge amount of
publicity and did let the country
know that McNutt was candidate.
Otherwise there is no discernible
effect. There's always a legend that
it's dangerous to start a preSiden
tial boom at such an early stage.
But it would be difficult to prove
that any harm has been done to
the McNutt candidacy. Troubles
and triumphs of 1910 candidates
are in the future.
McNutt has proved himself an
able practitioner in party politics
and war-veteran politics. As COVER
nor of Indiana he was more eff
cient than most governors and
built very strong Democratic ma
chine.
His chief handicaps are the cool
ness Of Farley and Roosevelt to-
ward him, antagonism from labor
ranks and widespread opinion
among his critics that he would be
a dangerously ruthless man to have
on top if the nation were threaten
ed with FasciSm. It's quite possible
that within another two years these
handicaps may not seem SO large,
Senator Burton K. Wheeler'S public
assertion that President Roosevelt
couldn't be elected if he were nomi-
mated for a third term merely de-
mOnStrates that the Wheeler -RooSe-
Velt mutual antipathy is still in full
bloom and that Wheeler feels he
needn't worry if he continues to
make Roosevelt sore. Two years and
eight months before the presiden-
tial election, Wheeler probably isn't
any better qualified to prophesy
than many others who aren't
sure.
The brilliant Montana senator's S
promise to urge nomination of a
progressive. Democrat" of the type
of Republican Senators johnson of
California and Borah of Idaho is
especially interesting because in
1910 Johnson will be "a years old
and Borah rs. No man past SIS has
been elected since the election of
James Buchanan, who was 65.
Wheeler himself, who insists he
won't be a candidate, will be only
58 in 1910.
Few more startling figures have
been issued by the government in
recent years than those giving a
years record of 9407 families in
American villages-sampled to give
representative cross-Section-
which show 519l families getting
ahead" financially, 1929 falling be
hind and 987 breaking even.
The l2-month period used for
comparison was in the years 1885
'36, when recovery was marching
right along.

With us again this year is Indian Chief Sciarra with his dependable and steady bowling which you know was mastered last year with. the aid and patience of Spiggy MaZZalupo whom we all know as one of our bet ter bowlers. Incidently, Spiggy is out gunning for the high average that Carp captured last season.
 Last week Winnie Martinelli and Danny Summa showed up with plenty of election spirit, particular ly Danny whose ability to even see the pins was a marvel. Doc Rosa had them in his charge but for some reason or other Danny must have slipped away for a nip or two.

ST. LUCY BOWLING NOTES

After singing 'em down the alleys for two whole weeks, the boys seem to have gained their bowling eye what with Al Carp's high single of 145. The majority of the bowlers have hit their normally good stride with the exception of one or two, conspicuously among them being one Henry Minicucci. Goldie Gior- danos heart sinks every time Hen- nie gets ready to bowl, but Carp has taken him under his wing and tute- lage and promises to straighten out his left hand hook.
 The teams this year have the same names with no particular team a standout, but to this careful ob- server the team of Trailers captain ed by Red Mucci seems to be rather a dark horse in as much as Billy Giordano Is bowling in mid-seaSon form. They have several recruits this year who show plenty of prom ise.
 
 Jo-Jo Summa, as always, seems to gather together a formidable crew and will bear watching, particularly Beau Brummel Russo as his smooth delivery has the spectators gasp ing, especially his female admirers. (Thev tell me he is the leading man in forthcoming musicale.)
 
 Another fast stepping team is the one coached by Paul Longo and shows such capable performers as "FaSt Ball' Father McVerry, Strike Cipriano and Don Pope of the North End Pepe's. Last week their last inning barrage of strikes and spares beat the Scouts in a hectic encoun- ter.
