Continental Security

Says Father Walsh
6. U. Foreign Service
Regent Urges Realism
Toward Lutin America

Continental security" to be
maintained regardless of where ac-
ton is required, is the new con-
trolling principle in United States
foreign policy, the Rev. Edmund A.
Walsh. S. j., regent Of the school
of foreign service at Georgetown
University, told the Washington So
ciety of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology yesterday.
Speaking at dinner meeting at
the Y. w. c. A., Father Walsh said
that traditional guiding principles
in our associations with other ma
tions have been subordinated to this
single purpose-protection of the
Americas.
In this connection, he called for
"realism" in dealing with Latin
American countries.
There has been too much opti-
mism and too little realism in the
pursuit of our good neighbor policy"
he warned. "If the South Ameri-
can nations are convinced Mr.. Hit
Ter Is going to win, they may de-
eide to play ball with the victor
unless we can offer them a better
bargain
Brazil NEARLY Lost"
Already, he declared, Brazil IS
NEARLY lost" to Germany and 500
or 600 Nazi Army officers are spread
through Venezuela.
He also advised similar "realiS-
tic attitude toward problems in
the Far East. He called for less
provocative" attitude toward Japan
and looked with favor on legislation
giving the Philippine Islands their
independence.
Without having any ideas of 'ap-
peaSement'," Father Walsh asserted,
I'VE could probably accomplish more
with Japan by a not SO harsh at
titude"
AS for this country's neutrality,
Father Walsh continued, it is gone.
For all practical purposes, the
United States is in alliance with
Canada definitely and has moral
alliance with Britain. he said

merits of this country's status

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

DN lHc hSsOIidNto Tltoos
CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-Wheat pro-
ducers' efforts to store their grain
under Government loans, thereby
retaining an equity should any
profit accrue though price rise in
the next few months, continued
today to be the outstanding factor
supporting prices in both the cash
and futures markets here.
Futures prices rose almost a cent
at times with September contracts,
in which trading ends with this
session, in the lead Quoted above
78 cents, this delivery was the high
est in more than two months while
deferred contracts were the highest
in about two weeks.
Firmness of securities and war
news add encouragement TO buyers
Although Chicago quotations for
spot wheat were about the same as
Government loan rates and prices
in some localities were slightly
above these rates. the volume of
stored grain being sealed up under
Government loans was increasing
rapidly. This development of an
artificial scarcity of free" wheat
restricting milling supplies in some
localities, has been an important
factor in the recovery of market
values the past few weeks.
The amount of wheat sealed up
to September 18 totaled 142,786,121
bushels, an increase of 21,0359l0
bushels in a week, indicating that
the rate of storage is gaining. The
total under loan is more than 25 per
cent in excess of the volume at this
time last year and only about 25,-
100000 bushels short of the amount
involved when the deadline on the
1899 program was reached in
December
Although the crop year is less than
three months old, interior millers
in the Southwest. including those in
areas where yields were heaviest. al
ready are finding it necessary to 60
TO Missouri River terminals for sup
plies. The acuteness of this situation
was indicated by the fact that a
group of millers will meet in Omaha
next week to discuss the problem.
Corn and other grains were firm
with wheat. Gables reported that
Argentina is continuing to ship
small quantities of corn to United
States ports, the total this week
being $4,000 bushels. H. C. Donovan,
crop expert, reported corn in North
ern Illinois now promises a better
yield than it did two weeks ago.
Lard prices also were slightly
higher.

Other witnesses included Mrs
| Wallace WaShburn, who lives next
door to the De Tristans. She said
that last May a disgruntled gar
dener. whose name she did not know
had threatened to kidnap her own
child, l4-month-old baby.
She said that man had come to
the Washburn home seeking work
and had been employed in the gar
den. There was disagreement over
wages and he became angry.
We'll. you've got baby and
maybe l might kidnap him some day
or smash your automobile Mrs
Washburn quoted the man as saying
Truck Driver Ran to Aid.
Carl Mortensen, driver of a milk
truck, had just made delivery
when he heard Miss Foley scream
ing. He said he ran to her aid
and found her hysterical.
The men have taken the baby
he said she told him.
(There was a report out for a
time just after the kidnapping
| that two men had participated
in it, but police, after talking to
number of witnesses, decided
that the man who had snatched
the boy also drove the car aWayD
That the kidnaper had not eX-
pected a street disturbance such as
occurred was indicated. some officers
believed, by the message appended
, to the ransom note and evidently
intended for the nurse. 1t read:
please go home quietly. Do moi
talk to any one except your en-
ployer. Mr.. De Tristan will appre.
ciate this cooperation on your
part"
Police considered it probable the
man had made a careful study oi
the neighborhood, learning that the
nurse and boy frequently went fol
walks along that street. But his evi.
dent desire for quiet abduction
miscarried when the nurse fought
him and he was forced to knock hel
down to get the boy away.
Acting Capt. of inspectors Michae
Mitchell of the San Francisco police
thought the kidnapping was the work
of an amateur. Supporting this
theory, he said, were the following
observations:
