man-Spanish relations now being
written. In Madrid, while Franco
forces announced all German and
italian arms used during the war
(bombers, pursuit planes, heavy ar
tillery, tanks, trucks, technical
equipment) would be retained,
committee of IL German tradesmen
was en- route from Berlin to nego-
tiate an economic and financial
treaty with Spain.
Heading the group was DR.. Hell
muth Wohltat who negotiated the
treaty with Rumania last March.
Observers thought Wohltat treaty
making had reached the pattern
stage, for Spain will be treated just
about the way Rumania was. Reich
contractors will build roads, rail-
ways, Notifications and other mill
tary establishments for the new
Spain. More vital, however, is the
general provision for exchange of
Spanish raw materials Especially
ores and foodstuffs) for German fin
ished products. Thus will Spain be
drawn positively into the Rome
Berlin orbit.
While this was going on, Dictator
Franco reviewed his much-post-
poned victory parade, then spoke
as if his nation were free from Ger
many and Italy: "We want great
Spain, but we place our dignity
above all. We shall not tolerate
any attempt against our sovereign
ty because it would be useless"

President Wades Into Political
Buzz Saw on Argentine Beef Deal
Affair Costs Mr. Roosevelt Dearly in Personal and Political
Prestige; Executives Explanation Never Caught Up
With His Original Statement About Transaction.
BY WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Press Bldg Washington, D. G.

Observation-Disclosures ! was a
Kid on the farm, my father used to
warn me against getting too close
to the big saw that was used to
cut up wood for our kitchen stove
the old buzz saw, it was called.
He was right. 1t could have done
to me exactly what it did to logs of
oak or hickory. Many times since
those days, I have thought Of the
wisdom of those warnings as APP
piled to other acts of life. And, the
other day, thought of how much
trouble President Roosevelt could
have avoided if only his advisors
had guided him away from the buzz
saw of Argentine canned corned
beef.
It must be painfully evident to
the President and to his advisors
now that he waded right into a few
million political buzz saws when he
instructed the secretary of the navy
to buy canned beef from the Ar
gentine Co-operatives, Inc, for use
of Uncle Sans blue jackets. AS
matter of fact, most of the Presi-
dents stalwart supporters not only
recognize that he got his hands bad
ly mangled in the saw, but that he
failed to have doctor" handy in
the form Of an Offset for the griev-
GUS political error.
But the details of the situation
ought to be reviewed in order fully
to understand why so many people
are saying that the Argentine beef
affair has already cost Mr.. Roose-
welt dearly in political and personal
prestige. Many are saying, indeed,
that the cost has been greater than
his Inflated and badly judged plan
to change the makeup of the SUI
preme court of the United States.
All of the facts ought to be stated
clearly for the reason that none now
can foretell how widespread this
prairie fire will be. Obviously, the
Republicans will use it as ammuni-
ton in their warfare, and in all
probability quite a large segment
Of old line Democrats are laughing
up their sleeves about the damage
the beef case will do to their pet
hates, the New Dealers surrounding
the President.

Facts of Argentine
Corred Beef Affair

Briefly, the facts are these:
Pursuant to law, the secretary of
the navy called for offers to sell
the navy certain quantities of sup
plies, including $4,000 pounds of
canned corned beef. The law says
that government agencies must
award the contracts to the lowest
responsible bidder-the bidder re-
garded as able to fulfill the require
ments of the navy. There is, how
ever, another law that says, in sub
stance, the government must award
the contracts to firm of citizens of
the United States and that the prod
ucts be made from the United States
provided they are equal to or bet
ter in quality than a foreign-made
product and that the price is not
too much higher than the foreign
bid. The reason for this being, OBJ
viously, to encourage business in the
United States and give jobs to our
citizens for whom, as a national pol
icy, the American standard of living
must be maintained.
So, there is, first-quality and
price, and, second-national policy.
The bids on corned beef reached
the navy offices. Argentine Co
operatives, Inc, offered to sell the
"a tons of corned beef at about 16
cents a pound. The nearest bid
from the United States was approx
imately % cents pound. In addi-
ton, there is a tariff duty of six
cents a pound that is applicable to
imports of beef-placed by con-
gress to protect cattle growers in
this country. But the navy would
not have to pay that tariff duty.
Thus, the real cost to the navy
would be that much less.
Navy officers felt there was con-
siderable difference, but they were
unwilling to assume responsibility
for what some critics might say was
a violation of the "Buy American"
law. In the course Of the consid-
Grafton, the department Of state
learned of the situation, and Secre-
tary Hull took a hand. You see,

troubles with United States rela-

ment. 1t has been necessary to pro-
hibit importations of fresh beef
from the Argentine because there is
SO much foot and mouth disease in
the vast reaches of Argentine graz
ing areas. 1t has even become nee
essary to forbid the Argentine gov
eminent to bring in steaks for use
in its government pavilion at the
New York Worlds fair. That did
not leave good taste in the mouth
of the Argentine people. Mr.. Hull
was anxious to make peace offer
of some kind or another.

And it is to be remembered, too,
that Mr.. Roosevelt has been striving
to knit North and South American
nations together under his good
neighbor policy. 1t would be a
friendly gesture to buy something.

Youth Problem
Its youth is any nations most

as if the future might be predicted
with a fair degree of accuracy by
examining h e condition and
thoughts of children.
Children who are taught to fol-
low blindly and to bluff-the two
appear to go together hand in
hand-will become leaning subjects or
citizens who will find it impossible
or extremely difficult to assume
responsibility. Incentive and initi-
ative are destroyed, the ability to
think originally and the opportun-
ity to put thoughts into constructive
action are removed.
"The disappearance of Czecho-
slovakia is a calamity to Europe
primarily because the constructive
forces which florished there have
vanished. The little republic which
was five thousand square miles

was situated in the very heart of
the European continent and through
it passed movements from every di-
rection and in the process were re-
fined and tested. The heart of
Europe is no more.
Probably more so than in any
other European country freedom Of
thought and speech prevailed in
Czechoslovakia. That was in sharp
constrast to the conditions which
prevailed elsewhere. The Czecho

European Situation
Democracy has proved failure
in most of the European countries
because boys and girls have not
been given the opportunity to learn
its meaning through experience.
The basic principle of democracy
is the assumption of responsibility
by all citizens And the assumption
of responsibility can be learned on
ly in ones youth-in the home, at
school, and in youth organizations.
Only in such manner, too, is dem
ocratic leadership naturally de-
veloped.
I'm Europe everything has been
done to keep youth dependent and
to thwIrt and frustrate his in

States is q leaning citizenship. No
body polite has ever been able to
withstand its pressure for any con-

patriot will do all within his pow

the state and of the nation and
resolutely oppose anything which
might turn them into mere leaners.
