They were pretty suspicious of uncle

Brazil Our Best Friend.
Brazil traditionally has been on
best terms with us, for some reason
or other. 1t still is. And Brazil's q
tail adequate to the Wagging of
good deal of dog. It's bigger ter
ritorially than the continental Unit
ed States. It's population tops 3O,O0G,-
600. Its natural resources are bot
tomless, and complementary to our.
The folks who have approved O.:
us least are Mexico and Argentina.
It's understandable. We had a Wai
with Mexico once, and while we
could afford to forget it, considering
its result, it ish't surprising that it's
ranked more persistently in Mexi-
cans minds Also we've got that
Mexico-American oil controversy
still pending. Argentina produces ex-
actly our kind Of agricultural stuff.
we're competitors.
But Mexico and Argentina are be-
ginning to see that Germany is a
more doubtful asset than they
thought.
Mexico looked toward Germany as
a big buyer of Mexican oil; Argen-
tina reckoned on huge German
market for it's wheat and meat. Ger
many continues to want all these
supplies but can't cet them delivered.
Thus, "What's the use?"
Not Very Popular, Anyway.
Nazi-ism and Fascism aren't overly

The Latin Americas are supposed
to be dictatorial. Well, they are to a
certain extent. And yet they have
deep undercurrent of democracy.
They'll have a crisis, with dictator
ship to deal with it-but the die

emergency is past. The individual
dictator may do his best to hang on,
but he's bumped off precently.

Streamlining Government.

Streamlining Government.
This essay is about administration
American government was built fol
safety, not speed; so people used tc
say when the doctrine Of separation
of powers was under discussion
Later, when speed was demanded
we wondered whether 1t was safe to
streamline government. We have
come to ask our Government to do
many more things than it had to do
in the 18th century and the prob
lem of how to administer such serv-
ices has become acute. Our Fed
eral Constitution is not specific on
that point; it gives us no definite
rules about administration. Our
forefathers left such details to us,
and we have been slow to give them
attention. The tradition of separa-
ton of powers has dominated our
thinking. We not only divide re.
sponsibility for determining poll
cies: we also frequently divide re-
sponsibility for administration and
try to check and balance every part
of it. When we do this it is i'm
possible to discover who is respon-

and they in turn can hold their
subordinates responsible. In this
way responsibility can be made clear
all down the line. Failure to fix
responsibility for the conduct OF
governmental business is an out
standing defect Of government in
the United States. Through this
failure the people lose control, which
is the very opposite result Of what
is intended. The American people,

sible for success or failure when
things go wrong in the manage
ment of our governmental business.
Large legislative bodies, changing
every two years, are adapted to de-
Gliding what services government
shall perform and general policies
about them. They are not adapted
to deciding the details of how they
shall be managed, how various serv-
ices shall be co-ordinated, and how
duplication can be avoided. The
best legislators can do is to fix re-
sponsibility for administration in
some one place. If legislative body
places on the executive responsibility
for carrying out policies he can
make department heads responsible
