their shops which might have exclud-
ed them from coming under the Wage
and Hour Law. Atty Bullock is the
counsel for the Association and since
booth renting was not on the floor for
discussion he saw no immediate need
to discuss it there, but suggested that
it be brought up at a private hearing
which he is at present working to have
In answer to many questions Mrs
Taylor said, "The Hairdressing indus
try did not originally come under the
Wage and Hour Law but a Board was
formed in conjunction with the hair
dressers' board to bring this industry
under this law One of the laws
formed by this minimum wage board
was to make the Commission basis" for
operators illegal and to establish a
salary of $16.50 for hairdressers and
$3.50 for operators unlicensed hair
dressers) for forty-eight hour week.
No mention was made in these draft
ed rules for or against booth rent
ing"
Her observation of the two meetings
was that booth renting was not the
issue at hand but plans to protect the
future of operators who had been
working long hours on commission
basis or small remuneration and
commission.
Mrs. Taylor feels that information
given, by man about shop in New
Hampshire where a man rented space
for $40 and took a percentage of the
operators business, was indirectly re-
sponsible for the ruling to protect
operators in Massachusetts.
In closing she stated chat the oper-
ators are willing, if necessary, to OBJ
tain individual licenses beginning jan
l. Then each operator would work
independently in a shop, regulating
their own hours. To avoid any in
fringement on the Real Estate Law,
an agreement may be favorably
reached with the landlords"
A mass meeting will be held Sun
day, Nov. II, at Lincoln Halls for the
purpose of framing a petition to OBJ
tain new ruling, amicable to all the
hairdressers, from the Attorney Cen
erals office. Anyone directly con-
cerned as well as the public are re-
uuested to attend and hear the hair
dresser's problem explained intelli-
gently by informed and authoritative
speakers.

OUR NATIONS AFFAIRS
By HENRI IDEAS
IF WE WIN LATIN AMERICA

IF WE WIN LATIN AMERICA
W WASHINGTON, D.C.-BefOre this
government can successfully win the
loyalty, respect and friendship which
will bring peace and security to the
Western hemisphere it must face
squarely the question of racial equality.
The recent Inter-American Conference
on Neutrality issued unanimously an
agreement which further unified the
western world on land and sea. That
was the so-caled Declaration of Pan
anna. That agreement is today acknow-
lodged to be both nebulOus and unde-
fined. SO far as its military import
ance Is concerned it would be were it
not for the American Navy. Just an
other scrap Of paper. Today our Navy
is the strongest bulwark for peace in
the Americas But our State Depart
ment officials know full well that any
true and lasting harmonious under
standing with the Latin American re
pubIlcs must be based upon something
stronger than our Navy They have
called this thing improved cultural
relations" To the peoples of all races
and colors below the equator this can
only become effective through one
medium. And that medium is absolute
social equality.
UNTIL THE PRESENT war began
American trade with South America
was successfully hampered by England
and Germany. Now that these two ma
tons are removed by war from their
South American markets, American
business men hope to usurp these mar
kets. A prominent Brazilian merchant
told me recently that much Of this new
business with Latin America will de
pend largely upon the attitude of white
American businessmen themselves. In
Brazil color is neither a badge of SUI
periority nor importance. 1t was my
informer's opinion that Americans have
been greatly hampered in the past by
their attitude towards certain colore6
businessmen and officials whom they
met IN these countries.

statesmen would Oftimes walk into the

to any white mderling whom they saw

We know how it has hampered his cul-
tural relations here at home. We can
expect that he will be so hampered
abroad.
The peoples of Latin America have
a heritage of which they can be proud
in their own right 1t is a heritage
which refuses to be insulted by a cheap
and tawdry American race prejudice.
If the Americas are ever united by
American U.S.A. democracy" this
government will have to accept that
heritage. 1t will also have to change
It's domestic as well as its foreign policy.
These people know of our internal pre-
iudice and racial hatred. Not only do
they see it practiced upon coIored
Americans; but they themselves are
victims Of it when they come to this
country. | am reminded of the official
visit of the Brazilian Navy Band to
Washington. 1t was what white
Americans would call a mixed" band.
Some Of the players were pure white
while others were black and brown.
Even though all were official represen-
tatives of the Brazilian Navy the
whites" were sent to the finest hotels
in the capitol; while the 'colored" were
sent uptown to colored rooming houses
1t is my guess that if this government
ever wins the people of Latin America
J it will have to win back these Brazilians

One Plane Hit, but Returned.
The account given by the officers
and crew from another squadron
which participated in the raids in
the Kiel area said one of three
bombing planes was hit by shells
and bullets but returned home
safely.
They told of finding the Elbe
estuary and of following its course
until a number of German naval
vessels were sighted from an altitude
OF 5000 feet. The report continued:
"The enemy held his fire until
we were almost over the target.
Then suddenly he opened with every
gun he could bring to bear on us;
it was terrific, especially the firing
from the big ships, which seemed
to carry seven anti-aircraft guns on
either beam -

ported they sighted a submarine
heading at high speed for Germany.
Although it submerged, they said it
would have been an easy victim had

Bulk Of Arms Exports
In 1899 Have Gone
To British and French
Purchases by Dutch
Considerable; Their
Shipments to Go On

More than $37 zoo, 900 Of the $685.
499 ,588 worth of arms and munitions
exported from the United States dur
ing the first eight months OF this
year went to France, Great Britain,
Canada and Australia, a State De-
partment report disclosed today.
Licenses had been issued during
the eight months for the export OF an
additional $50, ,702 ,O63 worth of arms
to France, but the majority of these
were Cancelled when President
Roosevelt proclaimed an embargo
under the Neutrality Act, the depart
ment said.
1t was estimated only small per-
centage of the orders untitled by Sep
sember / had been shipped before the
embargo went into effect five days
later.
In the eight-month period, Great
Britain actually received more ship
ments than new licenses called for,
since much of her arms imports
from this country were on licenses
issued last year. The shipments to
Great Britainsfor the eight months
amounted to $2l,159,42 while
licenses were issued for $14, ,709 900.
Actual Total Exports.
The State Department report
showed all licenses issued during the
period aggregated $ll5,22l,346, and
actual exports amounted to $50, ,499,-
588.
August exports to Britain amount
ed to $454,332; France, s3,443 200;

amounted to $4,954,215. Licenses

Among the neutral countries the
Netherlands was shown to be one
of this country's biggest customers
for arms, exports for the period ag-
gregating 81 1,489. 9.80l for the Neither
lands and $5,897,454 for the Meth
erlands Indies.
Licenses were issued during the
eight months for shipment of q
total of s5,3OO,076 worth of arms
to the Netherlands, $207419 of this
amount being issued in August.
Dutch to Get Their Arms.
These statistics indicated the
Netherlands has approximately
$4,0O0,0O0 worth of arms orders out
standing in this country which will
not be affected by the arms en-
barge, since it does not apply to
neutral countries when the war
material is not designed for trans
shipment to a belligerent.
1t was emphasized, however, that
the State Department will make
thorough investigation whenever
there might be any reason to be-
lieve that a belligerent was order
ing war supplies through neutral
nation.
A State Department official said
all the licenses issued for ship
ments to belligerent nations which
had not been used before procla-
nation of the embargo had been
permanently revoked. If Congress
should repeal the embargo new IL
censes would have to be obtained.
