FIRST FRUITS OF A MISSION
N. Y. Herald Tribune

Germany's new trade pact with Yugoslavia,
together with the kind words of Foreign Min
lister Alexander Cincar-Markovitch about ''po-
litical collaboration" that accompanied it, may
be considered the first fruits of the Reich's
imposing military mission in Rumania. It
is a small victory on the face Of it, to be sure:
some slight increase in Yugoslav shipments
to Germany, on better terms for the Nazis
than under previous agreements. The Foreign
Minister'S cryptic obiter dicta could mean
much or little; they may prelude a substantial
swing in Yugoslav policy toward the Axis, or
be merely a polite fraud. But it must never
be forgotten that the white war, the economic
war, is still in full swing, and that on such
minor victories as Germany has just won at
Belgrade hang tremendous issues.
Significantly enough, the announcement of
the conclusion of the pact was accompanied by
Authoritative reports that Germany, thanks
to the work Of the r. A. F., is unable to
deliver many of the manufactured products
that form her share of the barter arrange
ments. These reports are more than a tribute
to the increasing efficiency of the British
bombers; taken in connection with the con-
clusion of the trade agreement, they indicate
that the German Army is being used to an
even greater extent than before as a make
weight in deals of this sort. In other words,
there is a distinct possibility that the barter
system is dissolving into an undisguised stick

and paper articles" in place of the goods
she cannot supply have only a sort of grim
humor in this regard.
1t was Adolf Hitler himself who said that
Germany must export or die, which was only
another way of saying import or die" Under
the strain of war production and bombings,
the life Of the Reich now may depend on Ger.
many's success in forcing raw materials from
her neighbors at the cheapest possible terms.
The Yugoslav pact would seem to be an in.
stance in which the method worked.
This is not to say that the turmoil which
the Nazi incursion into Rumania has created
will result only in a set of trade agreements,
concluded under duress. The same technique
may be applied to obtain military concessions.
and If it fails. force may be substituted for
threats. But it is well to remember that each
economic advantage extorted from the
Balkans is grist for Hitler's war machine:
that one German bomber poised on a Ru-
manian airfield may be the equivalent of
many tons of German agricultural machinerv

WHITE SULPHUR, SPRINGS
w. Va, Oct. q. R--Paul B.
Wtst, president of the Associa-
ton Of National Advertisers
said today the natiOm's bust
nessmen were plann ing larger
advertising budgets to X e
step with anticipate d a d e

A survey of A. N. A. MEM
bers, including marry of the
largest advertisers in the coun-
try, West said, showed at least
Sc per cent proposed to spend
more money on advertising in
1941 than this year. Six per cent
indicated smaller budgets, and
the remainder were waiting for
developments.
Vests analysis of the ques-
tionnaire opened the thirty
first annual convention of the
association. The first day was
devoted mostly, how ever, to,
technical discussions behind
closed doors.
Other speakers included A.

for better business eaGl by
West from the QUESTIONABLE re-

Can't Take 1t

As the war continues it becomes harder and
harder to understand the Nazi viewpoint. For
example, a Berlin dispatch announces the
Nazis demand a ''thousandfold'' revenge for a
British air raid on the capital, which is termed
organized terrorism on the population Of Fer
lin
What, we would Ike to know, has Hitler's
air force been doing to London for some weeks
past? Certainly it has not been on a Sunday
school picnic.
If its bombings have not been organized
terrorism" we have no conception of what the
words mean. Obviously the Germans can dish
it out but can't take it.

Man About
Manhattan

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The gilt
tering displays that make Fifth
Avenue the window = shoppers
paradise are miraculously coming
to life.
For years the strollers from
every corner of the globe who
swarm the Avenue night and day
could, by strict ruling, see nothing
but inanimate objects in the win
dows.
But now the displays have sud-
denly blossomed out with motion,
sound and human beings, and I'M
doubtedly soon will approximate
Broadway floor-shows.
The taboo on action in Fifth
Avenue windows was imposed long
ago by the Fifth Avenue Associa-
tion-the merchants governing
body-because it feared that un-
restricted competition for eye
catching displays would degrade
the swanky thoroughfare to a
Coney Island.
Having decided that, the mer.
chants of course Immediately set
about to Guido each other with
spectacular static displays.
The leading stores wound up by
hiring stage designers to produce
exhibits that would attract atten-
ton from the other fellows win
dow, and the trend hit a hys-
terical peak n night when the
s%urrealist artist Salvatore Dali
and a fur-lined bathtub somehow
crashed through the plate-glass
window Of a bizarre display he
was arranging.
That was az far as the stores
could go in that direction, so they
plunged into a frantic scramble
for trick ways of circumventing
their own inanimate-display rule.
A cosmetic firm put a tall, gush-
ing colored fountain in it's second
story window. Technically it was
action, and there were a lot of
raised eyebrows among other Ave
nue. tenants, but it was relatively
conservative and not on the street
floor. and would have cost a lot
to rip out, so they let it stay.
That started the ball rolling.
Another second-floor establishment
struggled in a lfe-size scantily-
clad mechanical drum-majorette
that caught every male eye-and
got away with it. A department
store at Christmas put swinging
bells in its ground-floor window,
with amplifiers to carry their
changing out to the sidewalk.
Finally the other cay a big de-
partment store, swept off its feet
by style-show enthusiasm, decided
to 60 overheard and put living
models in its window.
Then at the last minute it had
qualms, SO the store hit on a
unique compromise. They borrow
ed from peep-shows the girl-in.
the-fishbowl illusion, in which the
image of a real person behind
the scenes is projected by lenses
and appears dwarfed in a globe a
few inches from the spectators
nose.
From there it's obviously only
q step-a few months in terms of
Filth Avenue conservation - to
putting real living people in the
windows. Q

ORATORICAL CONTEST
The local oratorical contest which
is under the supervision of Miss

here next Tuesday, at the high

cash. The requirements for this ora
ton are that each student who is
participating prepare a six minute

some phase connected with the Con-
stitution. The winner also will be
invited to compete against some OF
the best orators in southern Ari-
zona.
The challenge to democracy pre-
sented by the European and Asiatic
relationships makes this years con-
test particularly well-timed, since
the ideals of democracy, are now
more brilliantly set forth than in
