Secretaries Knox and Stimson that
he said supported his assertions.
Saying that a statement given
out at the White House had con.
tanned the language that orders
were "In the works." the senator
added in a statement of his own:
"What in the works means l do
not know. I do know, however, that
the National defense advisory COM
mittee clears contracts, which is
not equivalent actually to making
a firm contract.
"What the people of America to-
day are concerned about is def
mite and constructipe steps toward
the early and quick preparation of
our military defenses. I am con-
WINGED that these preparations are
tagging to the extent that our ma
tional security is seriously men
aced. They want airplanes not ON
order for delivery a year or so in
hence but for delivery with prompt

"It is not my purpose or int
ton to criticize any agency of the
government, but I do feel impelled
to voice my protest against unreas-
enable delay in the requirement
of strategic military equipment,
and to promise my utmost efforts
to develop the cause for such a
delay so that remedial action can
be taken.
las fighting airplanes constitute
one of the most important factors
in our national defense, my atten-

today less than 1000 fighting air

Development Urged
OF Latin American
Commerce

The development Of new trade
with Latin America is one of the
most urgent steps for the United
States to take in strengthening its
economic defenses, Miss Joan
Raushenbush told members of the
Woman's National Democratic Club
yesterday.
Miss Raushenbush, co-author
with Clark Foreman of Total De-
Tense" released yesterday, declared
that Latin America Is a tremendous
storehouse of riches which have
hardly been tapped. These, she
said. included many strategic ma
terials, such as rubber and tin. at
present obtained by this country
from distant sources difficult to
protect in time of war.
Development of such resources
not only would have military i'm
portance but would make our trade
with Latin America more compile
mentary than it is now, she de-
clared.
A survey of available resources
is needed. however, she said, sug-
gesting that experts from such
agencies as the Bureau of Mines. as
we'll as private engineers, might
assist in such project.
While the development of such
trade would mean a tremendous in
vestment. it would increase the buy
ing power of Latin America, she
pointed out, thus creating a mar
ket for our products.
From the viewpoint of economic
defense the speaker stressed the
belief that local interests must be
submerged when national interests
are involved.
She also said if private capital is
unwilling to develop new trade lines
the Government should take hand.
Our alternative must be better
than that Germany offers" she de-
clared.
Surpluses resulting from the clos
ing of Europe's markets to Latin
America create a situation which
plays directly into the hands of the
Nazis, she declared.

Strange and destructive creatures
are the Jennings, relatives OF the
voles and thick-bodied mice The
true Jennings are inhabitants of
the Hudson Bay region. None of
them come South of the Arctic re-
gions. There are only six species
and subspecies. They do not change
their color in the winter. The false
Jennings do.
All of the members Of the tribe
are industrious diggers. They have
extensive burrows and the openings
seem to be connected in an almost
unending maze of passageways.
These are often found under boul-
ders between the shore: and the
shallow channels.
They are a restless determined
lot. When they desire to migrate
they swim broad rivers and lakes,
or even have been known to ride
upon cakes of ice. During this jour-
ney they nelp themselves to any
thing which may appeal to them In
the way of vegetation.
All Jennings are heavy bodied.
They have repeatedly been mis-
taken for very short-tailed mice.
