YOU AND YOUR JOB
LYle M. Spencer
What Are the Real Openings in Latin America?

|" HE latest employment will-o'-
the-wisp among youth these days
- is Latln-American Jobs. Ever
since the European war began, my
mail has been piling up with letters
from young people inquiring about
ways and means of landing positions
south of the Rio Grande. Exporting
firms have been deluged with similar
requests, and schools teaching foreign
languages have noted huge enrolment
increases in their Spanish and Por-
tugueSe classes.
Behind this new lob rush is the
idea that the European blockade will
greatly increase the trade between the
Americas. And won't this growing ex-
change of goods create jobs for thou
sands of United States citizens in
Latin America?
Evening star., 1940-10-27

done much the same thing Brazil has
a law, for example, that requires two
thirds of the workers in any business
to be Brazilian citizens. Cuba demands
that employers give at least half Of
their available positions to natives. In
Colombia, Ecuador, Peru. Salvador,
Uruguay. Bolivia. Chile and Mexico
At least eighty per cent of the Jobs
must be filled by local citizens Alto
gether, at least eighteen Latin-Amerl-
can nations have some such legislation
in force.
All this does not mean that there
are no jobs in the southern hemisphere.
There definitely are. United States
exports to that part Of the world for
the first SIX months of 1910 are up
two-thlrds over the same period a year
ago. That undoubtedly means the crea-
ton OF new positions. even though
they may be only temporary. In addi-
ton, there must be regular replace
ments for the workers already down
there. These Jobs are mainly in the
following fields:
]. Foreign Ssrrrcs: Since there are
only about 1000 persons IN all
branches of the United States Foreign
Service IN all foreign countries. this is
about the hardest field of all to enter
There is already long waiting list In
addition, there are a few other jobs in
South America that come under our
army and navy, the Department of
Commerce and other government
agencies. For these, OF course. special
training is required.
Z. Technical workers: A numerically
small but industrlally important corps
OF United States experts are employed
IN South America to install new ma
chlnery, tram native workers, super
wise production and investigate new
business possibilities.
5. Business: Many United States
business iTmS MAINTAIN South AmerI-
can branches. The workers they send
down there to run them are mostly
engineers, demonstrators, statesmen
and few office workers. Quite few
enterprlslng women. especially those
with little capital, have built Latin
American careers for themselves
through representing good United
States cosmetic and women s-apparel
firms.

Gates, metropolitan newspapers and
houses employ South Amer
can correspondents and representa-
tlves, many of whom come from the
United States.

which helps explain why there are
today fewer than 10000 United States
citizens living in South America, and
by no means all OF these are working.
Another fact to consider is the legal
barriers to employment. The United

tentatively set for next week by

NEW YORK, Sept 10. CUP)-
Knowing New Yorkers using the
Polo Grounds these days as sane
tuary from the noise, the hustle, the
excitement, and the general wear
and tear on the nerves that life in
the worlds biggest city exacts.
There on the banks of the placid
Harlem river, meath the lee of
Coogan's Bluff, a man can find more
peace and quiet than he can in a
nook of the library, or under a tree
in Central Park, or worshipping the
old masters in the art museum.
The fact that the New York Gil
ants are playing in the Polo Grounds
right now doesn't disturb the calm
and rest of the uptown retreat. The
Giants are deep in sixth place, loser
in their last ten games, and COM
pletely out of the fight. even for a
place in the first division.
1t was like walking into another
world to visit the Polo Grounds
yesterday for the game between the
Giants and the Cubs. outside the
grounds New York City thundered
and roared, but inside Bees droned
lazily over the infield, ushers dozed
in their seats. the vendors hawked
their wares in whispers lest they
disturb the players. Spiders, mean
while, spun gaudy webs on the
gatekeepers' turnstiles.
High in the upper stands, built
to seat $4,000, pair of sweethearts
held hands and stole an occasional
kiss, feeling safe from inquisitive
eyes. The bleacher crowd shared
a soft drink through straw, and
it was rumored that ten sacks of
peanuts and five hot dogs were sold
in the grandstand seats.

than that by dropping quarter
at Times Square.
The only spark of life shown by
the Giants, as they went through
the motions of playing out the 1910
string, was shown by a rookie, Bus
ter Maynard, fresh up from Rich
mond. Buster, who is hoping to earn
an outfield job next season, played
as if he we're in world series.
When it was his turn to bat he
strode from the dugout swinging
his clubs in mighty arc. and dug
in at the plate as If a hit meant
the championship of the world Even
from deep centerfield you could
hear his cry of encouragement to
| his teammates, and he ran the
bases with the determination Of a
young Cobb.
Buster smacked a homer in the
first inning when the Cubs veteran
pitcher, Larry French, thinking the
rookie would let the first pitch by,
laid one letter high down the groove.
Buster lifted it into the seats. The
next time Buster came up there
we're men on first and second and
none down.
Normally Terry would have told
Buster to bunt. But as if wanting
to see what the youngster could
do under pressure, with French
bearing down, he let hin hit. Try
to hit, rather. The wise French
whipped a screWball in for his first
pitch. Then he threw another, and
with his third pitch drove Buster
back with fast one, high and in
side. Then he laid down a screw
ball, low and to the outside corner,
and Buster missed it by aafoot
Buster shook his head. They don't
see that kind in Richmond.

out the majors best balanced staff.
With only Frank Mccormick and
Ernie Lombardi hitting in the 300
class, the Reds have had shortage
of runs all season. They had to
win those one-run games. To do
this they couldn't afford to toss
many games away by ragged defen-
s;ve work. The infield of F. McCor-

The outfield has given McKechnie
