Hull Aide Warns Against
Dollar Diplomacy
~ the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Laurence
Dussan, adviser to Secretary Hull
on Latin American political rela-
tions, said today the solidarity Of
American nations could be lost
overnight" If the United States
again undertook to dictate to the
other American nations how they
should run their own affairs"
In . speech before the Foreign
Policy Association, the State De-
partment ofhcial asserted that a re-
turn to the policy "of the big stick,
dollar diplomacy and Intervention
would have such q result, because
Intervention and hemisphere soli-
darity are incompatible"
Mr.. Duggan said much has been
done to promote development Of
economic resources in Latin Amer
lea. One accomplishment, he re-
lated, has been the perfection Of
4 strain of rubber tree with an
average yield three times as high
rs that OF trees in the Far East.
As a result, he said, the present
price Of 20 cents = pound might be
cut in half.
He. disclosed also that the Inter
American Development Commission,
headed by Nelson A. Rockefeller,
had appointed a special commission
of retail buyers, headed by Oswald
Knauth, which soon will 60 to South
America ito investigate the posi-
bilities of establishing there small
industries to supply the type Of
retail merchandise formerly OBJ

This political campaign outrages

To the Editor Of The Star:
I believe that Willkie is sincere,
but I do not trust some Of the rich

While they are shouting for democ-
racy they are only thinking of

To the Editor Of The Star:
In our whole history, no election

ton and Jefferson, who themselves
refused q third term because they
feared that the setting Of such a
precedent might some day lead q

able and seek to establish himself as

arch Is dictator" and the threat

date of our choice lost We would

To the Editor of The Star:


Ambassador Kennedy has received
q good many compliments from both
Democrats and Republicans on his
radio address of the other evening
It was we'll delivered, In calm but
persuasive voice and with q feeling
of conviction. To the other bou-
quets wish to add my own.
But was Mr.. Kennedy arguing
with himself? Toward the begin
ming of his radio address he said
that this country had to defend"
itself, that it was absurd to think
that the two oceans would safeguard
us from attack or invasion. After
talking along that line he proceeded
to discuss of other angles Of the for
eign situation. Then, to convince us
that Mr.. Roosevelt does not intend
to become further involved in the
war, Mr.. Kennedy returned to the
oceans. But this time the oceans
presented an obstacle to us. 1t was
absurd, he said, for any one to sup
pose we would become an actual
participant in this war, because of
the difficulty of landing troops on
foreign soil and the dificulty Of
transporting the necessary equip
ment. This, he said, is a war OF
machines, and it would not be so
simple as in the frst World War
to send broad an Army properly
equipped. May I ask Ambassador
Kennedy why it would be 50 much
more difdcult for us to send q
properly equipped Army across the
seas than 1t would be for our "en.
emy" to land troops in this country
or in Mexico or in Canada for even-
tual use here? GEORGE ADAMS.

70 the Dditor Of The star:
1t was fear and expediency that
caused Republicans to nominate q
Democratic public utility executive
Is candidate for President.
But Mr.. WILKES "third-term"
argument Is bad medicine, because
it is an appeal to fear. The voters
will decide that issue on merit,
taking into account ominous shad-
ows from East and West, where war
lords have signed pacts directed
at America. Leadership is all that
counts; above all, courageous lead
ership!
Who would choose q novice In
surgery If q skilled and experi-
enced surgeon were available?
Progress does not recognize the
beaten paths Of the past, the ruts
our forefathers made. Precedent,
denoting old age, doubtless has its
place, but not IN the lace OF new
dangers within as well as from with
out.
Mr.. Willkie thinks unemployment
is about the same rs in 1888, AL
though national income has in
creased from some 80 billions to
around 10 billions. Unemployment
has decreased from approximately is
million to million, and still there
Is 8 million without work. Included
in the nine million unemployed
must be reckoned q new generation
entering industry. Mr.. Willkie says
he can increase employment and
production. Perhaps. Production
depends upon demand, and demand
depends upon family income, and
family income depends upon en-
ployment. FRED P. PATTON.

~ usxS 10iooh "a AhS SeeAs
Gen. Hugh johnson recently wrote
n appreciation Of the personalities
Of the late Col. Charles Young and
the present Gen. Davis, but con-
demning the promotion Of Davis to
the generalship. Perhaps the pro-
motion ut this time is . political
gesture. 1t Is not unusual during
election times for candidates for
elective ONCE to praise Negroes,
grant favors and promise to do away
with all OF the techniques Of race
prejudice when they are elected.
But Gen. johnson goes on to
smear Negroes With false statements
based upon his prejudiced opinions.
He asserts, Trained Negro troops
are peers Of the best soldiers on
earth when commanded by white
ofncers," and that they don't like
10 serve under Negro officers, and
under such conditions they have
never done we'll" This is unfounded
In fact and unfair.
The record shows that Negro offi-
eers, with few exceptions, have done
as we'll In command Of troops as any
officers unframed in regular unit
service or in the service training
schools from which prejudice denies
them.
What Gen. johnson ought to have
called attention to was the fact that
racial prejudice in the Army has
been denying 12,00o, 900 Negroes the
right to serve with dignity or to
train to become officers. He should
have pointed out that they could
not enter the sNavy, the Marine
Corps, the Coast Guard, the Air
Corps and other branches except as
menials. He should have explained
that the Regular Army units OF
Negroes are officered, beyond the
rank Of captaincy, largely by officers
who are Southern born men.

cratic techniques Of racial prejudice

strength in what may soon be the

Yesterday at Hartford, Conn, the

Mr.. Roosevelt made the following
Enthusiastically false, reckless and
irresponsible statements, to-wit:
Many executives of insurance COM
panies are trying to spread fear
among their policyholders. 1t Is the
most dastardly and most unpatriotic
action Of any Americans I know Of"
Being q policyholder in two Of
our largest life insurance companies
and entertaining grave fears for
their security under the New Deal, I
wrote q letter last August to these
two companies, inclosing copies of
letter had written The Star, in
which I stated fully my fears and
asked them to circularize their pol.
icyholders. They declined to do so,
stating among other things in theft
letters to me that the law prohibits

ing part in politics. AS you may well
imagine, We have policyholders who
are Democrats and policyholders
