be additional means of communica-
tion which will set the wheels of
industry turning and awaken new
enterprises. But high customs bar
riers are obstacles to trade; monop-
olies deprive many men of the share
of good fortune that rightfully be-
longs to them. All these factors
must be studied constantly by those
who seek in commercial relations
the solution of many human prob
lemS."
Mr.. Miller recommended greater
exchange of students between the
United States and Latin America,
stimulation of tourist travel and
more courtesy extended here to
South American travellers. He
raised the question of Argentine
meat.
Says Solution Imperative.
"If the Argentine could send to
the United States only 3 per
cent of our meat" he said, "a large
mea sure of her economic difficulty
would be solved And 1 would like
to ask: Are more people benefited
in the United States by the ex-
clusion of Argentine meat, or would
more persons be benefited if the
consumption of meat were increased,
which would result from Argentine
imports? This is a problem We
must solve if We are to make friends
with South America, for with our
policy of economic isolation, closer
relations with many South American
countries are extremely difficult"

depended on newspapers carrying
the service of European propaganda
agencies. He criticized a proposal
for any kind of official propaganda
agency of the United States, saying
it would lead to distrust. News
services telling the truth, even if
our side loses" he said, were prefer
able, adding, I'm the long run, only
a policy of absolute truthfulness

A. P. Official Speaks.

w. J. McCambridge of New York
City, assistant general manager of
the Associated Press, emphasized
the need of building a two-way
trade between the United States and
South America, with proposed in
crease of purchases from the Latin
countries. I'VE must help them in
order to help ourselves" he declared.
I'VE can't build a one-way trade
road without jamming it," he said.
Mr.. McCambridge said the Asso-
ciated Press was endeavoring to
stimulate more interest in Latin
American news in the United States.
From this country the flow of news
going to South America, he said
represented "on behalf of good will, ;"
a contribution from 400 A. P. men,
ber newspapers amounting to "a
$10,000,000 a year product without
one cent of profit over % years"
A regional service for interchange of
Latin American news among the
countries south of the border has
been growing rapidly, he said.
Criticizes L. S. Methods.
Senator Santos was frank in his
criticism of the methods of Amer
lean businessmen in dealing with
Latin Americans. 1T is no secret to
any of you" he warned, that the
commercial propaganda methods OF
German agents in America have
always been superior and the condi-
tions under which their goods are
sold more favorable-longer credit,
often better quality, unfailing and
even exaggerated courtesy and eff
cheney. United States industry will
have to face tomorrow the difficult
problem of reducing the cost of its
products and the comparatively
simple one of training its agents bet
ter and giving its clients more IA
vorable terms, if it wishes to retain
and increase its southern markets" !"
The Senator reported that the
good neighbor policy initiated by
President Roosevelt had been
greeted with enthusiasm in Latin
America"
Trade Requires Diplomats"
Senaor Heliodore Vale, declaring
that "the history of world trade is
the history of culture" said that
nothing brings nations together so
closely as commercial interests nor
does anything separate them fur
ther. Therefore, trade requires
diplomats, it demands statesmen to
guide it so that it may be mutually
beneficial. The United States now
understands it thus and Spanish
America hopes that this opportunity
may be the occasion for an i'm
provement in its standard of living.
Other industries are appearing

Nav Japanese Move Against
Indo-Chino Forecast

SHANGHAI, Nov. IA P.-Foreign
circles expressed belief today that
Japan was prepared for another
move in the near future against
French Indo-China, possibly ending
the shaky sovereignty of that
French colony.
Chinese newspapers contended
Japan was aiming at permanent
occupation of all French Indo-
China.
Chinese reported new japanese
demands on the colony included the
right to land troops at the southern
port Of Saigon, circulation of Japa-
nese military yen throughout the
country and loans" of 500 900 Indo-
China dollars a month to finance
exports to Japan.
Foreign sources lacked informa-
ton whether such demands actually
had been presented. but said current
developments did point to another
japanese move against Indo-China
in the near future.
The japanese already have won
air bases and other military con-
cessions and stationed troops in
Northern Indo-China.

about 20 planes approached from

A MYTH EXPLODED

The myth that a person, in order to speak
effectively before audience, must be born with
some unusual ability has been exploded by the
Granville Jacobs method of co-ordnated coaching
Speakers made" not born" They are
made in the Granville Jacobs Course in Talking
and Thinking on Your Feet" during the short
period Of fourteen weeks. The classes meet one
evening each week during that time.
Graduates of this course who had never faced
an audience in their life previous to taking this
training, are now speaking regularly, right here
in Washington, before mems service clubs con-
ferences, conventions business gatherings and
political meetings Over dozen recent graduates
are members of the Speakers Bureau of the Com
munity Chest
Paul McCrea stated Granville Jacobs method
actually trains the members of his groups to face
an audience and say what they have to say with
confidence poise and effectiveness"
You may have no desire to become a public
speaker in the popular meaning of that term
Only small percentage of those who take this
course have that as objective. Most people
take it to increase their power in everyday life
Many Washington graduates will tell you they
have made more financial progress as the result
OF a fve-minute talk in the presence Of those who
mad the pOtCer to promote than they did during the
preceding five years with their nose on the grind
stone. You may have their names upon request.
They are delighted to recommend this training so
that others may enjoy the same benefits And
remember they the same individuals who used
to quake in their boots at the very thought of
speaking before even a small audience.
The main reason for the effectivenss of this
training is co-ordinated instruction Granville
Jacobs not only organizes the course but he per-
Sonally conducts it. He will not accept more
students than he can train personally In addition
Mr.. Jacobs is experienced. During the past four
years he has personally trained more Government
business and professional men and women in public
speaking than any other instructor in the United
States.
