STEAM BOILER FOR
 STREET REPAIRING

A new steam boiler for the street departments asphalt plant has been ordered by Deputy Controller and Purchasing Agent Charles c. Foster from M. J. Daly & Sons, it was re- ported last night from the control ler's office. The price was given as $3,197.
 Provided for in the budget, the boiler purchase will result in re- placement of the old boiler, out of commission two years ago, allowing the street department to heat the asphalt instead of attempting to fill street holes with "cold patch," a temporary utility. Delivery of the boiler is promised for April 15, meaning that permanent repairs of city streets can start after that date.

ritorial integrity" of any American republic is threatened.
 The good neighbor policy Is not 0ne-sided. It must be re- ciprocal. The State Department admits that much remains to be done, but it also feels that all the new world nations are coming to see the advantage of standing as sovereign equals, united by com- mon ideals.
 Now if the good neighbor pol- icy does not mean that the United States wants to be boss, 1t also does not mean that the United States wants to mOnopolize all trade with South America and stop imports and exports between South American nations and other countries.
 It does not mean that Americans need run temperature every time Argentina sells a shipload of beef to Germany or buys a cargo of machinery from Italy.
 EUROPEAN TRADE
 MUST BE NORMAL
 For generations, South America has sent foodstuffs and other raw materials to Europe. That's only natural.
 The United States can't buy those things in any great quan- tity, because it produces them at home. It certainly cannot regard it as an insult if 8 Latin nation sells its produce to a totalitarian power and buys manufactured goods from that power in return. In fact, the State Department would regard it as 8 calamity if

1889, when James G. Blaine was sec retary of state.
 For full half century, the es- sentials of a democratic ordering of foreign relations in the new world have been in evolution.
 In 1883 six or seven Latin republics adopted a treaty ex- pressing the principle of non-rec- 0gnition of territorial changes
 made by force, in respect to the American continents. Later, the
 United States and all the rest of the 21 new world republics ad-
 hered to it.
 CONTINENTAL
 SOLIDARITY
 At Buenos Aires, in 1886, the 21 nations adopted statement assert ing that the American nations pro- claimed their absolute juridical equality and their unqualified re- spect for their respective sovereign ties-which, in plain English. means that they agreed that all of them were equal at law and that each na- ton was fully independent and boss in its own house.
 With this statement came a dec- laration that any act which disturbs the peace of the new world con- cerns all new world nations.
 At Lima, few months ago, the delegates re-stated and amplified these principles. They endorsed the removal of trade barriers and adop- ted declaration of continental solidarity" declaring that a threat to the integrity of any new world nation was a matter of common con- cern to all and agreeing to consult in case the peace, security or ter

Being Good Neighbor to Latin America Means Role of Friend, Not Boss, Says U. s.

ica or to monopolize It's trade, then what is it?
 Primarily, the good neighbOr policy Is an attempt to promote better understanding and to im-
 prove trade. The two go hand in hand, to an extent; and they
 take with them the concept of . common plan for new world defense, out of which come such things as the current proposal to help the Latin nations arm.
 The defense angle is important Back of 1t lies the belief that democracies can prosper only in relatively stable and prosperous world. The constant sequence oi war, war-threats, and the prepara- ton for war is an eternal threat to the democratic ideal.
 Hence, to defend American de- fnocracy, 1t is necessary to keer the new world at peace = and in the present state of the world that can best be done by working out common plan for the defense ot the new world and buttressing il with the proper armaments.
 If that is done, if the peace oi the new world is kept inviolate if the common acceptance of the principle of peaceful settlement oi disputes is firmly established, and if the normal, peaceful flow ot trade is revived
 Then the outlook for democracy in the new world is bright =. and the good neighbor policy, as one angle of Americas general foreign policy, is vindicated by its fruits.
 NEXT: The trend of American foreign policy today.

STRAND

Laughs, chuckles and cheers swept through Warmers Strand theater yesterday as capacity audiences viewed the opening performances of Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion," the headliner of the fine twin feature bill to be enjoyed until the clos ing performances Saturday evening Shaw's wise and witty wisecracks together with the action of the film made audiences laugh as they have not laughed in many months. Two fine acting portrayals by Leslie Howard and Wendy Hitler, sensa- tional find" are also among the entertaining features of the film.
 The Cinderella story firmly seizes the imagination from the opening shot and sweeps on in a crescendo of dramatic force in which action is balanced against dialogue, sparkling wit and situations against moments of drama.
 Leslie Howard has never been better than in his role of the cold blooded phonetics professor, making the character real and human, and a new screen star of rare beauty and distinction has been born in Wendy Hitler, cast as the flower girl. Also outstanding in a superb cast are Wilfrid Lawson and Marie Lohr.
 Co-featuring the bill is "Persons In Hiding" adapted from the book of the same name by J. Edgar Hoover and featuring Lynne Over- man and Patricia Morrison in the cast.
 Sunday the Strand presents an- other favorite double hit bill with "Yes, My Darling Daughter" CO., starring Jeffry Lynn and Priscilla Lane, sweethearts of -Four Daugh- ters," as the headliner. On the same show will be the first Waterbury showing of the thrilling drama, q Am a Criminal".
 One of the worlds most famous tenors, Beniamino Gigli, will make his screen appearance at the Strand in Ave Maria" an all-Italian talk ing and singing production with super imposed English titles. This production comes to this theater soon. Rounding out the program will be Life of Pope Plus XII" Watch for the playdate announce ment.

 What this government does ask is that such deals be not exclu- sive: that the process of normal exchange of goods remain a proc- ess of exchange and be not a process of political pressure or a threat to other countries.
 It objects to seeing any over seas country mobilize its nationals in South America for the purposes of such pressure-and, in this ob- jection, 1t is sustained by a reso- lution adopted at the Lima con- ference.

Ear & Foundry President
Denies Cintas Claims
special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK. June 30.-The cam
paign by Oscar B. Cintas, stockhold-
er in American Car q Foundry Co.,
in soliciting proxies to force changes
in the management of the company
appears to Charles J. Hardy presi-
dent of Car & Foundry, ito be
simply that of a discharged en-
ploye, disgruntled because of his
separation from the pay roll" Mr..
Hardy asserted.
In rejoinder to Mr. CintaS' al
legations of mismanagement and
incompetence contained in a letter
to stockholders, Mr.. Hardy states:
Mr.. Cintas is not (as he says he
Isl the largest single stockholder of
our company. The stock record
which he was allowed to examine
discloses such to be the fact. His
letter, written on the stationery of
his apartment in Havana, Cuba Che
Alot being a citizen of the United
States, is replete with misstate-
ments and half statements and
shows a woeful lack of knowledge
of the business and affairs of our
company.
Prior to his discharge he held
only 100 shares of our preferred and
like amount of our common.
Shortly after his discharge he &C
'quired an additional 100 shares OF
common, the remainder of such
stock as he holds having been ac-
luired since March, l939-which
would seem to be hardly compatible
with his now-expressed lack of con-
fdence in the present management"

British Gold Loss
In Six Months Hits
Huge Total
Shows Pressure Exerted
On Pound Sterling
By War Feurs
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 30-Pressure
exerted on the British pound by Eu-
ropes war fears was reflected today
in an official statement showing
that gold held by the Bank of Eng
land and the exchange equalization
account decreased approximately
sl3S 100000 currently about $685.
000O in the six months ended
last March 80.
This compares with the figure OF
El00 900 900 often mentioned in un-
official financial speculation as to
how severe the flight of capital from
Britain had been during the pro-
longed political tension, including
the immediate aftermath of the
Munich Conference and the final
breakup of Czecho- -Slovakia in mid
March.
Despite the loss of nearly G138,-
900, 900 in the six months and a total
loss of s280,0O0OO0 (s13O6 400 900
for the full year ending last March
80, Britain's gold stocks remained
roughly at 1894 100000 Cs2,779 .92o.-
00O).
The official statement, a semi
annual public view of the position
OF the equalization fund, which is
operated secretly to support the
pound, explained the urgency for
the transfer to it of fresh gold last
January 6.
The Bank of England then gave
the fund 100000 900, at the old
statutory price of 81 shillings 101o
pence an ounce. but upon transfer
this was reckoned at the then pre-
vailing higher market price. The
transfer really amounted to re-
plenishment to the value of nearly
E350.000 900 (s1638 900 .0OO,.
In February the Bank of England
took into account the market price
by revaluing the entire gold stock
and this subsequently was. legalized
in currency legislation.
The drain on Britains gold clearly
was the compelling reason for firm
action by Sir John Simon. chancel-
lor of the exchequer. last April. tc
prevent the British from sending
funds abroad for investment in
American stocks and official dis
couragement of forward gold deal
ings and exchange speculation.
AS of March 30. the Bank of Eng
land and the equalization account
held 79949 900 ounces of gold. 30
$4,000 by the bank and 4e.49O, ,OOC
by the account.
The value was computed at 14e
shlllings pence a fine ounce. this
being the price at which the gold in
the bank was valued on March &c
under the new currency act. Pre-
viously it had been 14O shillings.
The actual decrease in the period
from September 80 to March 30 was
l8,579.000 ounces. or G137 900 900 or
