piled to liquidation of the debts due US
and none Of it used to make new pur-
chases Of goods it would have uquidated
less than one-eighth of our total invest
ments south of the Rio Grande.
This means that If the proceeds of all
of Latin Americas exports here went to
pay OH American bolders of Latin
American bonds and direct investments,
1t would take more than eight years to
get back the principal Of our present in
vestments in those countries. And
meanwhile we would be selling them not
a single dollars worth Of goods. This is
the situation in which Uncle Sam finds
himself Us he surveys the field for new
Good Neighbor loans.
Not Business Risk.
1t will not be easy for Latin America
to pay interest and principal on new
dollar obligations-should this country
offer the opportunity to incur them. It
means that Latin America generally
speaking is not in q position to borrow
here on business basis. It means that
loans may become bad debts and cause
bad feeling.
Assuming that new loans are made by
the American Government, and assum-
ing further that some means is found to
service them, there may be danger ahead
II business conditions later deteriorate.
Should this European war bring pros
perity to Latin America as the World
War did, the Southern republics will be
in position to pay us something on ac-
count. But when peace comes again and
business volume Declines how will Latin
America, even with the best Of inten-
tions, avoid new defaults? Will not
Uncle Sam be In danger Of becoming
Uncle Shylock again?
We might also give thought to the
effects on our own economy Of building
up exports through loans. Loans are
made in dollars, but they are trans
ferred abroad in the form of goods. That
process cannot 60 on "one-way street"
indefinitely. When the abnormal stimu-
lus finally is removed, what will happen
to Mr.. Export Manufacturer and the
people who got jobs making goods for
Latin American
The value Of loans to many Latin
American countries as q political device
may be debatable, but there is little
doubt about the unwisdom Of large scale

six and half years. During the past 10
years an average Of 600, 900 more young
workers have annually started looking for
jobs and industry has learned to produce
more goods with less labor.
Governmental experts concede that full
recovery will not be attained until the
Federal Reserve index of industrial pro-
duction ranges around $50 per cent Of
the 1923-25 averages, and estimate that
national annual income Of approM-
mately 10000, 100000 is required for
this purpose. The present rate of busi-
ness, the experts calculate, will bring
the 1899 income to about $67 ,000, 900 ,00o
The $4,000 100000 annual income
would give employment to about 100000
additional workers and at the present
rates Of taxation would bring in enough
revenue to balance present annual Fed
eral expenditures of about So, ,0OO, 100000.
None of the experts expects the attain
ment Of anything near a $50 900, 900 900
national income next year. One reason
Is that the basic steel industry is now
running near capacity production and
new plants cannot be built within year
or more; another reason is the shortage
OF skilled labor caused by the failure to
train young workers, and third is that
the present level of production is result
ing in the building up of large inven-
tories, just as in the disastrous days of
1888.
Farm Prosperity Linked With Europe.
The agricultural situation is encour-
aging to the Democrats, but its future
depends somewhat on the European
situation. During the past few years
the farmers have lost much of their
sympathy for the New Deal. But the
latest estimate of the 1889 cash income
for farmers is So, 800 900 600, which will
be, with the exception Of 1887, the largest
in decade. This is almost double their
income Of $4,s2s, ,0oo,0oo in 1882, when
they voted for Mr.. Roosevelt, but the
figure Is not so favorable when compared
with the $1o,46s 900 900 they received in
1929. In 1919, their cash income, be-
cause of the war, amounted to SIS .3oo,-
100000. The farmers have not forgotten
those lush times.
Like the businessmen and the indus
trial workers, however, the farmers
prosperity is closely related to the war in
Europe. which has brought back the
foreign markets they lost during the
past IS years. The farmers are the
voters most sensitive to economic situa-
tions and If the present prosperity"
continues for them through 1910, the
Democrats will have an edge dificult for
the Republicans to overcome. If the
farm markets fail, the Democratic party
will be one of the principal victims,

Beautifying the Hands.-After
using lemons, don't forget to wipe
off your hands with the skins.
They will remove all stains from
vegetable pairing and soften and
whiten the skin.
Scorch Marks.-Bicarbonate of
soda is useful for removing scorch
marks from white silk. Make into
paste with cold water and leave
on the stains until dry.
For New Griddle.-To prepare
a new aluminium griddle for use,
first wash well in warm water
and soap suds and remove any
labels. The griddle is hot enough
on a range when a small piece of
paper placed on top will brown.
Lower the heat and start baking.
Cakes often stick if the griddle
is too hot. Wash the griddle after
it has been used in plenty of hot
soapy water and wipe perfectly
dry before storing.

For Huge Battle Maneuuers

This week a steady parade of
Uncle Sans "battlewagons" begins
moving eastward through the Pana-
ma canal, bound for the fleets first
Atlantic maneuvers since 1884, and
the second largest gathering of ships
and men ever held under the Amer
lean flag.
From now until next spring. lao

600 men, will work on Effect Prob
lem No. TO-" directed by Admiral
Claude o. Bloch, commander-in-
chief of naval forces. Ships will
range up and down the coast from
Cuba to Brazil. Divided into two
units, the problem will find ''black
fleet" defending the coast against
white feet" which is attempting to
establish a base on that coast.
The l40 combatant ships include
battleships, cruisers, aircraft car
riers, destroyers, submarines and
800 airplanes, including all types of
fighting. scouting and observation

Following maneuvers, the fleet
will meet in the vicinity of Guata-

ships will be sent north to visit the
New York worlds fair.
Though no public announcement
has been made. it is quite obvious
that the Atlantic maneuvers are des-

Don't Overeaf

Generally speaking, the same
foods that are required for a we'll
balanced diet under ordinary cir
cumstances are the ones that will
best serve the needs of mother
and child during the months be-
fore a baby is born. There are,
however, certain notifications of
the diet that may well be taken
into consideration.
First, a word about the amount
of food consumed: 1t is not neces-
sary to eat more than is required
to satisfy the normal appetite, in
the belief that large quantities of
additional food are needed. Nu-
tritionists have demonstrated that
the energy requirements of the
expectant mother increase only
during the last three months of
CESSATION. Thus, it is not neces-
sary to increase the caloric in
take for the first few months,
though toward the end of the pc
riod a gradual increase in caloric
intake may be made under the
direction of the physician. It is
advisable, however, to emphasize
that the character of the addition
al food consumed, as well as the
amount, should always be taken
into consideration.
Glacier County chief., 1939-01-06
Adequate Bulk or celluIoss

1t is most desirable that enough
bulky foods be included in the diet
to help maintain regular health
habits.
This requirement should be TAX
en- care of automatically if gener-
GUS amounts of fruits, vegetables
and whole grain cereals are con-
sumed. For in addition to their
minerals and vitamins, all these
foods likewise supply bulk which
aids in promoting regularity.
The wide use of fruits and vege-
tables will also help to build up q
liberal alkaline reserve, which
helps to safeguard health during
the period of CESSATION.
II all these factors are taken
into consideration, the expeetant
mother will not only help to pre-
serve her own health, but win take
constructive measures to give her
baby the blessings Of . sound start
in life. Then as the healthy, esa-
tented infant grows into Tie
healthy, happy, active fodder,
and later becomes the healthy,
well-adjusted school boy, Tie
mother can indeed be proud q
her handiwork!

might, and no one dares predict
the consequences.
Russia's star may rise or fall In
1899, not only on the strength Of
her Far Eastern success or failure,
but for two other reasons. First,
her 20-year program Of communi-
cation has reached critical point.
Meager reports from Moscow tell
Of industrial trouble, famine and
revolt, providing an internal men-
ace that might prove disastrous II
war breaks out.
Germany Looks to the Ukraine.
Second, Russia moves nearer con-
flict with ambitious Nazi Germany.
One of the most important planks in
Chancellor Adolf Hitler's program
Is the creation of a Ukrainian re-
public, to be carved out Of the vast
expanse of southwestern Russia and
southeastern Poland. 1t is freely
predicted that Germany will open
this campaign in the spring. Al
ready her propaganda agents are
working in the Ukraine and daily
programs in the Ukrainian Ian
guage are broadcast from Vienna.
Hitler's intentions became clear
when he refused to give Hungary
and Poland a common border at
the expense of Czechoslovakia, be-
cause he wanted to protect his
path to the east" through the lat
ter state.
This is but one of Hitler's ambi-
tons for 1889. The other is annexa-
ton of Memel, on the east shore
of the Baltic sea, from Lithuania.
Although Der Fuehrer promised at
Munich that he had no more terri
torial ambitions in Europe, a situa-
ton is being arranged very con-
veniently whereby the Reich will
be forced" to annex the Nazified
Memelites, whose land is contingu-
Gus to East Prussia.
Another German ambition is DOM
nation of the Balkans. Already
such states as Yugo-Slavia, Ruma-
MIA, Bulgaria and Hungary have
