Economic Ties Now Closer.
Every change in administration
might require diplomatic adjust
ment by the United States.
The chief desire of the United
States is to retain the active friend
ship of these Latin countries in
order to make secure its own de-
fensive position. The war has
made closer the economic tie OF
these countries to the United States
for the most part. but nothing can
eradicate the fact that culturally
their affinity is European-chiefly
Spanish and also Italian and Ger
man.
Long ago the Spanish Falangists
worked out program for dy-
manic world hispanism. aimed at
bringing the Spanish settled lands
in the Western Hemisphere into the
orbit OF Spain and taking them out
of the orbit of the United States.
With Gen. Franco in power, Falang-
ism is in the ascendancy in Spain.
What understandings has Gen
Franco with Herr Hitler, who
helped Franco win the Spanish civil
war? Whatever they are. they may
have great meaning for South
America
italians have settled by thou
sands in Argentina and Uruguay.
Germans are numerous in Brazil
and Chile.
Brazil Best Friend of U. S.
Brazil probably is the United
States closest friend in South
America. Brazil is out of reach of
Falangist Panhispanism because it
was settled by Portuguese, not
Spaniards. Indeed, the history of
Brazil throws some light on a mod
ern prospective problem. It is COM
monty felt that the seizure of the
British Isles by Germany would
mean the removal of the British
throne to Canada Much of the
same sort of thing happened in
Brazil in November, 1907.
The event of 1872 years ago arose
from another world war-Napoleon's.
After dosing the naval battle of Ira
falgar, Napoleon decided to seize
Portugal and thus close off Eng
lands access to the European con-
tinent. Portugal was ruled by the
Braganza family. The Queen was
the mad Dona Maria I. The regent
was her son. Dom Jaoa VI. On
November 20 Dom Jaoa sailed out
of the Tagus River with an escort of
mobiles and dignitaries, setting his
course for Brazil. Portuguese colony,
across the ocean. There in Rio de
Janeiro he set up the Portuguese
court. Dom Jaoa returned to Lis
bon in 1921.
While Brazil is our friend, there
is internal dissension-unassoc
with fifth columns-which might
harm our position. The great pro-
vince of Sac Paulo is always rest
less opponent of the central gov
eminent.

ing referendum of the membership,
was made because the founders of the
organization, with no precedent to
follow in the mail order distribution of

asset would be a membership built
up with membership income.
Prior to the change in charter, the

features of the business and allow for
payment of savings returns to men,

announced it would fight for $807, 100000

ance sheet must have come as a shock to
New Hampshire people. It showed that
the creation Of purchasing power through
government spending was an absurdity;
that unemployment Is being generated
by the very measures taken to cure 1t, and
that taxation is reducing small incomes
as well as large. Most startling of all,
the audit indicated that the people of
New Hampshire, as a whole, have no net
savings because their thrift is being
Smothered by governmental debt. Though
they saved individually in the year au-
dited, they grew poorer collectively be-
cause of governmental and business
losses.
It would be a fine thing for this coun-
try If the fiscal affairs of every state were
subjected to dispassionate, businesslike
audits such as this. The chances are
that most of the commonwealthS would
find, to their amaZement, that they are
worse off than New Hampshire. We have
done so much talking about spending our
selves into prosperity that we have for
gotten that uncontrolled government
spending, with the inevitable mounting
deficits, is sure road to poverty.
The fact is that the people know next
to nothing about the various government
taxing authorities that tax them. Poll
ticianS are always wary of being accurate
and busineSslike when it comes to show
ing the voters just what is happening to
their money and their property. And the
people, for lack of knowledge, have blindly
followed the economic medicine men,
and at what cost!
New Hampshire is to be congratulated
on its survey. May it profit from it. And
may the other At states, to say nothing
of the Federal government, follow suit.
The truth may be unpalatable, but it
has to come out.
