Italy not only has political, eco
nomic and cultural interests in the
Americas but also sentimental in
terests because 100000 italians
have settled in the Americas.
British diplomatic representa-
tives will watch the conference
closely but apparently with less
concern regarding the extension
of United States influence than
would have been the case a few
years ago. There are two reasons
for this.
The first of these is the closer
relationship being encouraged be-
tween the great English-speaklng
nations, against the threat from
the totalitarian states. The second
is that British commercial inter;
ests feel that the Latin American
nations always will need the Brit:
ish market, therefore they will
continue to buy a large share OF
their manufactured products from
Britain and will not seek political
isolation from Europe as long as
these economic ties are necessary
for their development.
France, without large stake IN
Latin America, has less interest in
the conference than other large
European powers but generally
speaking will follow the British
lead. '..'
The Lima conference shared

international topics-the German

NAZIS TO EYE
Lima FARLEY
Nazis Are Most Displeased
Over "U. S. Dollar
Imperialism"
By WALLACE CARROLL
Copyright, 1888, by United Press

LONDON, Nov. %. (UP)-The
coming Pan-American conference
at Lima will be watched more
closely by European diplomats
than any previous meeting OF the
American republics because OF
President Roosevelt's new CONT
mental defense policy, a United
Press survey revealed yesterday:
Adding to European interest in
the conference are the refugee
and colonial issues bred in Eu-
rope. Also, the extremely contro-
versial ideologies of the European
relationships are becoming of
more and more interest to the re-
publics of the western hemisphere.
European chancellories want to
know:
l. Latin American nations re-
action to the United States new
continental defense policy;
2. Whether continental isola-
tionism will increase in Latin
America?
3. What steps are likely to be
taken to tighten political, econo-
mic and cultural relations among
the American nations.
The totalitarian states are most
concerned.
The official German attitude to-
ward the conference, as expressed
by a government spokesman to
the United Press, was: "The Lima
conference is exclusively a Pan
American affair in which Germany
has no political concern" Asked
whether Germany was interested
from the standpoint of trade, the
spokesman replied: 1--WE are inter-
ested in any countries with which
We might trade"
Private German sources. how
ever, said that Germany would
follow the conference most closely
since the Nazis are convinced the
United States is determined to
fight German influence in Latin
America "in order to keep the
continent safe for dollar imperial
ISM" Significantly, the controlled
Nazi press already has insinuated
that President Roosevelt is using
the Nazi anti-Jewish campaign as
an argument for establishment of
common front among American
nations against the totalitarian
states.
Rome reports that Italian diplo-
matte representatives in South
America have received detailed in
structions to rush extensive re-
ports of the conference to Pre-
mier Benito Mussolini, who will
have Italian experts on American
affairs study them. -.
Italy undoubtedly fears an in

economic, financial and cultural
penetration of South America and
considers Pan-Americanism an eff
fort to unity the Americas and
isolate the western hemisphere
from Europe. Italian economists
periodically criticize Pan-Ameri-
canism, contending that isolation
from Europe will not bring pros
perity to the American republics.

pine commonwealth into the Pan
American Union after the islands
become independent in 1916. One
argument advanced for such en-
trance would include the fact that
for severalI centuries, the Philip
pines shared with most of the
American continent the fortunes
of the Spanish crown and had
close commercial, official and
clerical relations with Mexico. A
second argument is that. Fhlllp-
pine represe ntation in the Pan
American Union would be a gra-
cious means of assisting its en-
barkation in the seas of interna-
tional life. g.
Some Latin American observ-
ers here believe that it would be
happy circumstance if the coun-
tries of thi scDntinent should give
more attentions to Pacific affairs,
since that ocean promises to have
an ascending Importance in inter-
national life. t'efore many years,
it is believed there will be mod
ern highway communications
down the entire west coast by
North and South America. The
development of common tourist
interest is indicated in the fact
that an inter-American tourist
congress is to be held in San Fran
cisco next yaer in connection with
the Golden Gate exposition.

The present sense of insecurity
which peryades much of the Amer

caused primarily by events IN El-

The United States, Mexico,

Pacific, and the safety OF tnen
communications would be OF no
less Importance from a contlnen,
tai standpoint than the safety OF
the Atlantic coast and Caribbean
countries.
For historical reasons, the Pan
American movement thus far has
developed chiefly with view tC
the creation of common American
interests vis-avis European coun'
tries, but with Japan's growing
power, commerce, and transporta-
ton facilities, it is considered not
improbable that interest may shirt
in some degree to the possible
after-effects of the current ag-
prandizement of Japan in the Far
East.
When the first Pan-American
conference was held in Washing

Kennedy Family Will Soon Meet m England
Largest Gathering Of One Group of Any Foreign Embassy in London = High Spot of Family
 Will Come on May II
BY JOSEPH w. GREGG, JR.

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 London, April 14.-UP).-The United States embassy soon will be overfowing with the largest family party of any foreign embassy in London, for the Kennedys are com ing in force.
 Five of Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedys children-Kathleen, l8; Patricia, 13; Robert, 12; Jeanne, g, and Edward 6-already have been here about one month. Rose Mary and Eunice will sail from New York April 2l. Joseph, Jr., and Jack will come over as soon as they finish the term at Harvard.
 High Spot For Family
 The high spot of this London sea- son for the Kennedys will be when Kathleen and Rose Mary make curtseys with 100 debutantes at the first court at Buckingham palace, May II.
 The ambassadors new policy is to restrict court presentations to wives and daughters of United States goV- ernment officials and resident Am ericans. His daughters of course come within this classification.
 AS a matter of fact, the new pol icy is not likely to reduce greatly the number of American women presented this summer. Heretofore about 30 were presented at each court. This year there will be only slightly fewer chosen from the wives and daughters of Americans resident in England.
 Mrs. Kennedy To Attend
 Mrs. Kennedy will also attend the first court with the ambassador, but as she has already met the King and Queen it will not be necessary for her to be presented formally Both Mrs. Kennedy and Kathleen have been visiting dressmaker to arrange for court dresses. Until the last few days the embassy has been quiet and comparatively empty as the four young Kennedys have been attending school.

JACKIE CO0CAN MAY STAR AGAIN
Has an Affer to Return to Movies Prepares For
 His Big Suit

Hollywood April 14-(UP)-Jackie Coogan, embroiled in a court fight with his mother and stepfather over the millions he earned as a child actor, today considered an of- fer from 8 Hollywood studio to be- come 8 star again and start new fortune.
 The offer came from Universal as Coogan announced plans to go into court and bare the story of his boyhood, spent working before the cameras at $4,O0O a week. He seeks an accounting of $4,000,000 he claims he earned.
 Salary Not Told
 At a salary not disclosed, Uni versal asked Jackie to take leading role in picture entitled, "No One Man." Jackie since outgrowing his kid" parts has acted in westerns and appeared with his pretty blonde actress wife, Betty Grable, in her latest picture. In the picture for which Universal wants him, he would be starred with Nan Grey.
 No decision on the offer had been reached by Coogan, busy preparing for the trial next week of his suit against his mother, Mrs. Lillian Coogan Bernstein, and his step- father, Arthur L. Bernstein. Mrs. Coogan married Bernstein, the familys business manager, after .Jackie's father was killed in an automobile accident three years ago.
 Bernstein's Claim
 Coogan contends that he was given only $6.25 week from his earnings up to the time he became 2l years of age two years ago, and

(UnItcu xTCSS OtdAA SVAASSPoAASAAv
 Washington, April 14-CUP)- President Roosevelt warned the world today that the peoples of the Americas, will not permit aggressor nations to threaten the peace of the western hemisphere.
 In an address before the govern ing board of the Pan American Union, broadcast by short-wave ra- dio throughout the world in observ- ance of Pan American Day, he aS- serted that the 21 American nations "are firmly resolved" to maintain peace.
 Tt (peace) shall not be endang- cred by controversies within our family; and we will not permit it to be endangered from aggression coming from outside of our hemis- phere," he said.
 Good Neighbor Policy
 He reiterated this country'S good neighbor" policy in its relations with central and South American coun- tries and cited this hemisphere's successful demonstration that the rule of justice and law can be sub stituted for the rule of force."
 But he warned that preservation of these amicable relations and in- dependence of the nations of the western hemisphere may entail sac- rifices-even the sacrifice of life itself.

 Morgenthau replied:

City Contracts Awarded By Street Department
 Cannot Be Located
DETECTIVES HAVE
 NOT FOUND THEM
Said to Be Connected With Steam Shovel Projects
 Done By City

Records of contrac c t s awarded by the Waterbury Street Department over a period of several years are said to be missing and un- available to the search of Detectives Edward J. Hickey and George L. Greer of the Alcorn staff, The Democrat learned today from a reliable source. These missing rec ords are in addition to those which allegedly disappeared from the controllers office, and which represented transactions of the city for period of eight years. The records missing from the controllers office have been described by off, cials as more than 100000 checks, vouchers, and, etc." All available records of the controllers office are now under the custody of Special Prosecutor Alcorn and the grand jury.
 Trend of Jury
 The report of the missing city yards records ties in accurately with the trend which the jury has been taking during the past week. Several officials and employees of the city yards, including Supt. of Streets Thomas J. Fleming, James Mc- Mahon,, George Smith, Arthur Sul- livan, John Kearney, Joseph Fla herty, Francis O,Donnell and others have been called during the present day and during the past week.
 It is reported that the contracts had to do with certain steam-shovel projects, and in this connection there is a possible tie-up with the Abrigador Diggers, the president of which, Philip Coppeto, is missing from the city.
 Information pertaining to the missing records of the city yards is very meagre, but with the appear ance of the numerous city yard employees as witnesses, there is every indication that it is reliable.

Commissioner Tone Hits Back At Critics
We'll Cared For - Connecticut System to Be Copied By Other States

State Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone today took issue with critics of the handling of unemployment compensation benefits and, in an exclusive statement to The Demo- crat, remarked that Connecticut's system of paying unemployment claims is of such high order that the federal government has sent off, cials from nine states to Hartford to obtain knowledge as to pro- cedure.
 Attacked a few weeks ago by Will liam M. Harris, secretary of Lincoln house, Waterbury, for the delay ir distribution of the unemployment compensation checks" the state ot Connecticut officially pointed today to the aflT u ! 3Il59 se slserbury
 City Well Cared For
 "Up to April 12, Waterbury re- ceived $552,563.16 in unemployment compensation checks Commissionel Tone declared. "The only city in the state which has received more k Bridgeport, with a total for that date of $640,000."
 The paid out benefits for the en- tire state on April 12 amounted to $4,335, ,101.29, he said, and, with 168,2 registered claims, 408, ,245 payments have been sent out.
 MT. Harris, in an attack published in the Republican organization pa pers in Waterbury, claimed that the staffs of the offices were under manned; that there were grave in- efficiencies" not properly excus- able" by this alleged condition; that "serious handicaps" were caused by delay, and much more.
 Critics Are Scored
 Fact that business recession of such serious proportion as to drop employment to record low was not considered in the comments of some critics, state officials remarked at the time. While the machinery of the state employment service head
