midst of large group of Japanese mandated islands It also Is l.5oo miles from Manila
 A naval board has recommended construction of naval air base ard submarine base on Guam legisa- tion to that end Is before Congress Japanese papers have become greatly excited this proposal build fortified their own naval stations Our own State Department evidently is cool to the idea The President favorS defense work but not a fortified base
 It must be remembered that our national defense is largely problem Of naval strategy and further that any defensive operations will have to be offensive in method The navy can defend only by attacking so Pacific frontiers are concerned Conse- quenty the creation of naval and air base on Guam plausible step in preparing national defense
 It is not proposed to make Guam major base comparable Pearl Harbor. in the Hawaiian Islands the foundation of our Pacific defense and the most completely impregnable naval station in the world without exception At best, fortified Guam would be difficult for Japan take, and would discourage any attempt to seize the Philippines.
 From Japan's point of view, however the fortifi- cation would be absolute proof of aggressive intentions the part of the United States. Since we have never attempted fortify the Philippines ade quatey Japan naturally assumes that base on Guam would be pointless except advance base for in vestment of Japan itself.
 In such a situation the proposed fertilization of Guam ought to depend on our foreign policy If intend to adopt stronger Far Eastern policy with without British collaboration base Guam is logi cal For any naval operations beyond Hawaii look to Guam the final outpost.
 If on the other hand we do not propose to use naval power in the Far East sanction of for eign policy base Guam is optional-that is to say possibly useful but not at all imperative In the latter case it may not be worth while to antagonze Japan for the intangible value of such distant base The decision ought properly to be made in the State De- partment the light of future Far Eastern political policy.

Battle for Latin America
Cleveland Plain Dealerl

Reinforcements are being moved up by the totali- taran nations and the United States in the ceaseess battle for economic and political preference in Latin America.
 Germany scoffed at the Pan-A American Conference at Lima a failure, Nevertheless she is increasing her propaganda efforts to counteract the meager suits of that meeting.
 Washington is not satisfied that the compromise Declaration of Lima the democratic position in the western hemisphere. It is taking steps to strengthen the American position by inviting Oswaldo Aranha. Brazilian foreign minister, to consult on mutual problems. This may be the first of a series of personal visits by high officials of those Latin American governments which find less danger in operation with the United States than in domination by Germany Italy and to a lesser extent Japan
 Reorganization of the Nazi news service Trans ocean, peddled free to South American editors is the first measure. What *Transocean" transmits as news is thnly disguised propaganda and readers of papers which accept it. like the involuntary readers of the newspapers of totaltarian state, get proNazi view of world affairs.
 More startling than this is the establishment of a Naz radio station at Lima. This could not be done of without the full of the Peru vlan government-the same government of President Oscar R. Benavides who perorated on American soli- dary at the Pan- American Conference in December. Another station will be built at Buenos Aires capital of Argentina which strenuously opposed every effort by the United States to bring about an America for Americans policy.
 In recent months there has been a resurgence of the Japanese trade drive. With many markets closed to her goods because of the war in China Japan is undercutng the products of other nations more heavi ly than ever to keep her hold South America Matters of common defense, exchange rates and increased trade will be discussed when Aranha visits Washington in February Brazil whose friendship with this country is traditional coaborated with us at Lima. Other nations, such as Venezuela and Colom- bla may also be expected to tighten their relations with this country. In this way the United States will not lose it's influence It will not surrender the field to totalitarian penetration American affairs the democratic method of conducting international rela- tions will find champion in Washington

Heyday for Skiers
(NeW York Timesl

tNeW York TlfneS)
 really robust snowfall may be had news for the Sanitation Department but it brings joy to our skiers who have had to skmp along a starvation diet dur ing recent winters For them the white mantle is a magic carpet and every wrinkle in it lifts them heaven ward.
 When skiing finally marches into Central Park the last barrier may be said to have fallen For for Torn moment 1t looked as if midtown devoees who cant afford the price of ski-ran might once more lind themselves all dressed up with no place to go But their condition, barred they are as 'menaces to safety from seeking better tions in buses or other public conveyances proved so pathetic that official hearts were softened To be sure there are no Alps in Central Park But the skiers are there at last, slaomng gaily down the perilous slopes of Cedar Hill and Burns Lawn
 lnoeed, skiing is no longer a country sport re- served TOT lonely mountain sides and luxurious hotels It has come to town It safe to say that over the weekend there were more skiing enthusiasts con- gregated in the parks of New York than on the Arl- berg itself City skiing may be bit tanner than doing Stemmoogen Fast at 5000 feet But leave the thrills to the experts In parks dotted with modest little humps the costumes look just as pretty on the girls and the snow is just soft to fall into Skiing is new sport in America but that is here to stay there can be no doubt

MOON, Feb. ?. = Qualities which constitute the ideal father have been outlined by Doctor D. H. Geffen, Medical Officer of Health for Enfield. For instance:
 Before and during the first months of his childs life the father must be sympathetic and tolerant. be prepared to give up much of his leisure to his wife.
 Fathers should not insist on having the radio blaring forth, to the detriment of the child, and should remember that it is harm ful for children to be in an atmos- phere laden with tobacco smoke.
 Tt is the mothers duty to see that father is not held up to his children as a 'bogey- man"
