10 Millions Spent to
Develop Industry, He Says.
Will Return q Billion

Ten millions spent in developing
latin America industrially probably
would have a defense value to the
United States approximating ST ,000,-
100000 worth of war materials
thinks DR.. William Schlamm, former
European editor and author of This
Second War of Independence: A
Call to Action
DR.. Schlamm believes firmly that
the Nations defense efforts must be
termed incomplete unless they in
clude more than accumulation of
arms. The new technique of ag-
gression, the formula which relies
In greater measure on economic in
filtration than on military force,
must be recognized, he contends.
with the average citizen of South
America, hemisphere cooperation
is but phrase" DR.. Schlamm said
in an interview Yesterday.
Cooperation a Boon.
When this average citizen finds
that phases of this cooperation are
raising his own standard of living.
however, he will become an enthu-
slastic supporter of the principle
and the beginnings of real hemi-
sphere solidarity will be at hand,
he asserted.
Absorption of Latin American ag-
ricultural surpluses by the United
States is justifiable course for the
immediate future but it is a tempo
rary measure at best, DR.. Schlamm
said.
The experience of Europe in re-
cent years indicates as a long range
plan "a policy of systematic, con-
scious industrialization of South
America with North American help"
he declared.
DR.. Schlamm has been a resident
Of this country since 1893 and has
taken the first steps toward natu-
ralization, but he does not feel suf1-
ciently informed to venture concrete
proposals for such a policy. He ex-
plains he is trying to convince those
he hopes one day to call fellow
citizens that totalitarian aggression
Is being assured of success before
blood Is she'd
Allies Mistake
Drawing upon his observations
while liberal editor in Vienna and
Prague, he says Great Britain and
France made their greatest mistake
when they neglected to take steps
to decentralize the industrial pro-
ducing power of the continent.
He said he felt the alleged dire
economic consequences seen by some
In the current armament program
were somewhat exaggerated" and
viewed such program as justiflable
'if 1t is to be used to bolster very
definite foreign policy
Most important, however, he said,
Is hemisphere decentralization
Of industry, safeguard of democ-
racy because it is directly opposed
to the theory of totalitarianism in
this regard.
DR.. Schlamm lectured last night
at a dinner of the American Asso-
citation of University Women, and
will speak again tomorrow at 1890
pm. at luncheon of the Teachers
Vnion in the MayfoWer Hotel.

Massey Horton Worried
More About Spaniel
Than Own Danger
BY LOGAN JENKINS

Dusky has gone away for
awhile.
1t may be for just a little
while and it may be forever;
because the three-year old Cocker
Spaniel, cherished member Of the
Massey Horton household in El
Centre, is in condemned row. at
the dog pound, suspected of hav-
ing rabies.
They've got two strikes on him,
but I'm not giving up hope his
master said.
Wednesday afternoon Horton
missed the dog after he had been
turned out for run.
II gave him his medicine-he's
had a cold, you know-and then
let him out. I thought he was just
pouting because he had to take cas-
tor oil-he always gets mad about
it"
Dusky disappeared and that af-
ternoon Horton found him at the
dog pound. He was suffering from
a throat congestion-a symptom of
rabies. Poun dm aster Harold d
Schweitzer had picked him up at
Tenth and Ross avenue. The author
tiles wouldn't let Horton touch his
dog. He could just peek into the
cage and look at him.
Can you make him bark?" Dep
uty Health Inspector Laurence Niles
asked. In the final stages of rabies
throats are too paralyzed for bark
ing.
do you want to go home, Dus-
ky?" Horton called Dusky barked,

Worried about his pet, Horton
went to the pound early Thursday
morning. The gates were shut and
he leaned against the wire fence.
All was quiet inside.

Yes, Dusky could still talk.
