About the time of the beginning

the Patent Office because he thought
that all the great inventions were
made. Look what happened in the
last fifty years. You have the tele-
phone. the radio, the motor car and
the petroleum and rubber industries;
all OF those were unthought of fifty
years ago. / am perfectly willing to
let you draw another line, and will
guarantee that within the next fifty

Just as ineffective as looking back

many parts of the country. 1t is also

Facing the Facts

It is reassuring in these days OF
world unrest to be reminded that
there are other nations Just as de-
termined as the United States to ad-
here steadfastly to the concept OF
democracy, which is the heritage OF
the American people. Such a re-
minder has come from the lips OF DR..
Oswaldo Aranha, Brazilian minister
of foreign relations, who has re-
newed old friendships in Washing
ton as he conducted discussions Of
Brazilian problems with administra-
ton officials.
In talks with officials and old
friends and in an address before the
National Press Club, DR.. Aranha
made 1t plain that Brazil has aligned
herself closely with the United
States against totalitarian aggres-

A Years Work

Few students of our economy
would deny today that the tendency
Of employment to f1uctuate with the
seasons, with the styles or with any
number of more unpredictable fac
tors has been one of our most vexing
problems.
For the precipitate termination Of
individual income not only works a
hardship on those affected and re-
fleets a depressed condition in the
industry involved, but has an imme-
diate disrupting influence on other
parts Of the business picture as gen.
eral purchasing power falls.
Largely because of the competitive
aspect of our business structure there
has been a regrettable lack of wide
spread effort in past years to correct
this condition, although in a few in
stances signal success has attended
experimentation in annual wage
plans.
In enacting the wage and hour law,
Congress recognized existence of the
conditions which cause the huctua-
tions and made provision in Section
7 Of the law for qualified exemptions
from the maximum-hour restrictions.

sion and against un-American "isnas"
Of every kind. America" he declared,
and by that he meant all Of the
Americas, must be alert in q world
full Of danger. We must be united
and we must act" Pan-American-
ism, he said, must be something more
than an ideal. The time has come
to translate this creed into action for
mutual defense against threats of in
vasion.
Shall we in America remain in
different before what is happening
In othe1 continents, keeping our
countries isolated without co-ordina-
ton, without interdependence, with
out developing by mutual effort the
enormous potentialities which lie al
most untouched in them?" he asked.
The best answer to that is DR..
Aranha's presence in the United
States, at the invitation Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Presumably the cur
rent discussions are encompassing
the whole field of our relations with
Brazil-economic, defense and cul-
tural.
Such frank, face -to-face discus
sions with our South American neigh
bors can be productive of much good.
1t has been indicated at the State
Department that similar conferences
will be held with representatives of
other Latin American nations. The
friendly interchange OF ideas will
serve to eliminate misunderstand-
ings that breed i'll will and to bring
about a unity Of purpose that will
confound aggressors who may turn
greedy eyes toward this democratic
hemisphere.
