The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-03-04

pean, Asiatic fronts.
 This policy is under private but detailed study by certain high of ficials, and while you won't find any formal announcement about it, you will find more and more moves pointing in this general di- rection.
 The plan of government radio station for Pan-American broad casts is one. There, will also be greater exchanges of students for professors, and of other cultural organizations.
 You may even see some of the larger and more undevel- oped South American coun- tries suggesting that U. s. set tiers take up permanent resi- dence on their land. With vast and immensely fertile areas going to waste in Brazil, Argen- tina, Bolivia and Peru, North Americans could make far more lucrative living there than in TugwelIs resettlement col onies-and probably with less government expense.
 With the United States hay ing reached the point of dimin- ishing returns, where no more free and fertile land is available, a permanent number of unem- ployed is almost inevitable in this country-unless there is either birth control or migration.
 What appeals to United States minded Latin Americans about this idea is that Fascism's chief influence in South America comes from Italian immigrants. North American immigrants can turn political sentiment in the opposite direction.
 NOTE-One extremely impor- tant factor in Pan-American re- latiors is the appointment, ex- pected shortly, of OsWaldo Aran- ha, former Brazilian Ambassador to the United States, as Brazil ian Foreign Minister. Argentina also has appointed a new For eigng Minister, Jose N. Cantilo, who is much more friendly to the United States than his ec- centric predecessor, Saavedra LamaS.
 Just Spite
 Miss Frances c"Roboie'D Rob- lnson, secretary to General Hugh Johnson, has it all figured out why the NRA became so intense ly unpopular on Capitol Hill.
 The other day Robbie scold- cd legislative friend with:
 ?'be only reason all you Sen ators and COngressmen didn't like us was because we wouldn't give you the jobs you wanted. It was spite on your part" Hearty Applause??
 Congressmen arc not noted for their restraint in extending re- marks in the Congressional Rec ord. but Representative Sam Hobbs, of Selma, Ala, has es- tablished record.
 Immediately after a recent pre- liminary prayer, Hobbs asked per- mission to extend his remarks. He did not deliver the speech but, by special permission, inserted his remarks in the regular ac- count of the days proceedings, not in the Appendix of the Rec- ord.
 No one on the floor heard a word of the speech. But before handing it to the printer, Hobbs sprinkeld it with no less than eleven "Applauses." This is to in- dicate to the folks back home that the address met with tu- multuous approval from Hobbs colleagues.
 NOTE-Point of the speech was that the anti-lynching bill should be shelved in keeping with George Washington's plea for unity in his Farewell Address. The Alabaman dressed up his effort with six verses of poetry. Clipping Clerk
 Jealous inspectors who prowl the corridors of the Interior De- partment thought they had caught clerk in a breach of discipline the other day. They opened an office door and found her reading a newspaper.
 In the Interior Department tardiness, idling, and reading newspapers are cardinal sins, and the inspectors gravely reported the name of the clerk-Mrs. Jeanne Boehm.
 Later they discovered that Mrs. BOehm Is employed to do nothing but read newspapers. Boy Orator
 When Oklahoma's boy orator, Senator Josh Lee, turned on the elocution in the Senate recently,
