BILL DESIGNED
TO FOSTER TRADE
Little public attention has been
directed to a bill designed to fin
ance increased trade with the Latin
American countries, now in the
senate after house passage.
The bill. direct outgroWth of the
Pan-American conference at Ha-
vana, gives larger powers and more
money to the Export-Import Bank.
This concern. a banking corpora
tion organized under the code of
the District of Columbia, was form
ed by executive order of the presi-
dent in 1884 Purpose of the bank
is to aid in financing trade and to
facilitate exports and imports be-
tween the U. S. and foreign coun-
tries.
Lending authority of the bank
has been changed several times,
the final limit being 100000 900.
The corporation is authorized to
continue until June 30, 1941.
The bill now before the senate
would increase the lending power
by $5OO,O0O,O0O, the present 5000
100000 already having been loaned
or committed Also, the life of the
bank would be increased to 1947.
The bill virtually cancels certain
other laws. One such act limits
total loans to one country or its
nationals to S20,00O0O0 This re-
striction is removed by the bill.
Also removed are reStrictions-sO
far as Latin American countries
arc involved-on loans to previous
defaulters and on loans to finance
the purchase of arms and munitions
by other countries.
Chief opposition to the bill has
been from persons who say that if
we help Latin America to develop
her agriculture and industry, her
products will then compete with U.
s. products in world markets.
It's hackers reply that the bill is
designed to help southern countries
to produce more rubber, tin, man
ganese, tungsten. chrome, drying
oils. wax, cocoa. quiniEe, mercury
and other materials for which the
U. S. would be ready market.

IS THIS THE ROAD
AMERICA TRAVELS?
Dictatorship


Mussolini marched down the road of
popular acclaim toward dictatorship by
preaching hatred of Josef Stain.
Adolf Hitler marched along to the
plaudits of the crowd, toward Dictator
ship, by preaching hatred of Democracy
and the Jews.
America today should remember that.
Not lightly; not with detachment; but
with whole souled interest generated
by the reminder:
1t can happen here
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wal
lace, running mate of President Roose-
velt in the latter's bid for a third term,
said in his acceptance speech this week:
Il do not believe the American people
will turn their backs on the man that Hit
ler wants to see Defeated
Hatred of Stain.
Hatred of Democracy and Jews.
Hatred of Hitler.
Most of Wallace's acceptance speech
was devoted to picturing President
Roosevelt as Hitler's greatest enemy, as
the man Hitler wants to see defeated
as the man who hates Hitler with all
the power at his command
Hatred. And because Hitler hates
Roosevelt, Wallace urges the American
people to re-elect Roosevelt
Perhaps they will re-elect him-but if
they do, we hope it is not because he
hates Hitler. We hope it will be because
they think he is the best man for the job
at hand, job that requires the executive
ability of jefferson, the humble love
for all mankind of Lincoln. 1t is a
job in which hate should have no part
And, particularly we hope the Amer
ican people thoroughly repudiate the ap-
peal to mass hysteria that was evident
in Wallace's address when he said:
But | want to emphasize that replace
ment of Roosevelt, even if it were by the
most patriotic leadership that could be
found, would cause Hitler to reioiee.''
There was no logic in that sentence,
nor in that appeal. Wallace might as
we'll have said:
at causes Hitler to rejoice that Amer
lea is not in this war with her young
men, her factories, her resources. There
fore, to prevent Hitler from ejoicing, let
us go to war"
Hitler himself has declared in disgrun-
tied mood, that he saw no difference be-
tween Roosevelt and Willkie, insofar as
this country's disapproval of Germany,
and its opposition to German methods
goes. England has said the same thing.
To Hitler, and to Churchill of Britain,
it makes no difference whether Roosevelt
or Willkie is elected.
Why, then, should the people of this
country be called upon to vote for man
purely because his partisans declare he
is dislik9i in foreign country? Have
We reached the place where we cannot
base our decisions upon the things that
happen inside our nation? Do we have
to look beyond our shores for a man to
show us how to vote? Do we have to
cast our votes for one man because an
other man hates him, and because he hates
the other man?
Are we to follow the road the people
of Italy followed; the road the people of
Germany followed; the road of hatred
that leads toward dictatorship?
We hope not.
We hope the people of America, born
and reared in Democracy, are sane
enough to vote intelligently, not in a haze
of mass hysteria.

With vaudeville in such an un-
happy state, he decided to go into
burlesque, the training school for
many star. He stayed there three
years, mostly for the Minskys, and
developed new assurance and his
sense of timing. 1t was from the'
Gaiety stage he finally was signed
for his first Broadway show, and
after four days of tryouts in Bos-
ton he was given the biggest role
although Buddy Ebsen was starred.

"the company laid off three days
before going into New York, and
right away I began to get the filters

We were to open I felt like I just
had to face an audience-a familiar
audience-before I faced the boiled
shirt crowd. So went over to Min

show, and from there I had to
rush to the Majestic for 'Yokel

His first six months at Metro
haven't been very eventful. Most of
the time he has had trouble getting
in the gate. Last April he telephoned
his old friend, Artie Shaw, and
said, I'm supposed to be working
at Metro but can't get on the lot.
What do you suggest?"
I'll take you on,' said the cocky
Shaw, who hadn't worked for the
studio for a year. And he did. While
they were strolling around, they
visited the 1.-TWO Girls on Broadway
set and Shaw saw Lana Turner for
the first time since they had dis
liked each other in Dancing Coed"
They were married that night in

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 81 = In a
restaurant near Republic the other
noon, a little girl edged between
the tables, put an autograph book
on top of Patsy Kelly's omelet and
demanded signature Miss Kelly
Obliged then said, "Hey, wait-youd d
better get this fellows autograph,

Silvers, but he'll be big name

The brat stared at the pink
faced, goggle-eyed young man at
the table and picked up her book.

Mr.. Silvers isn't insulted because
Hollywood fails to recognize him.
He's better known in the midlands
and the east as vaudeville comic,
and smirking patrons of the strip
and-grind houses knew him for
three years. Broadway saw him for
a few brief weeks last winter in
one of the top roles in "Yokel Boy"
musical which didn't quite make
good.
1t was that show. though, which
brought him contract in Holly
wood. Incidentally, it also led to
the rediscovery of Judy Canova,
who once languished for a year at
Paramount. She and Silvers are
together again in Republics "Hit

1t was big night for the comed-

The trombone player in the pit
heard Mr.. Mayer talking about me

While he went on the set to play

He seems to have about all the

1t seems he was always being
discovered by somebody and prom

Are You
Superstitious?
BY RUTH FARRAR
NEA Special Correspondent

There are more dos and donts
about the planting and care o1
crops than there are in all the
etiquet books ever written.
A whole madhouse of supersti-
tions, folk traditions, and astrologi-
cal omens defines the proper ways
and propitious days for planting
everything from garden peas to
fruit trees.
Here are few of the rules from
the tremendous collection of DR.
B. A. Cartwright of the University
of Oklahoma, who has spent more
than 30 years collecting popular
American superstitions:
If cucumber seeds are planted by
a woman, the vines will never
amount to much. If cucumbers are
planted in the morning, they will
"bloom themselves to DEATH
Drive an old-fashioned nail into
an apple tree to make it produce
better.
If one laughs while planting
corn, the grains on the cob will be
irregular and too far apart.
A farmer must not have his hair
cut often during the growing season.
His crops will mature too slowly if
he does.
Pepper will produce better if the
planter is angry when the seeds
are dropped into the ground.
A white Christmas insures a good
fruit crop.
If beans are planted in the af-
ternoon, the plants will drop their
blooms.
If you set tobacco plants on Sun
day, the grub worms will attack
them.
Gourds will produce better if
planted by person of low intelli-
gence.
Save the last ear of your last
sheaf of corn to insure a good
crop for the next year.
Crops that bear fruit above the
ground should be planted in the
light Of the moon if they are to
produce we'll All plants that pro-
duce fruit below the ground should
be planted in the dark of the moon.
II you wish watermelons to do
well, you must plant them when
the apple trees are in full bloom.
Whether it be wet or dry. turnips
should be planted the 25th of July.
Corn does best if planted when
the whippoorwill begins calling in
the spring.
II you hang yarn string over
bean plants. frost cannot hurt them
When angleworms are found near
the surface of the soil, there is
no immediate danger of frost.
If potatoes are not dug in the
light of the moon. they will rot.
Weeds will die and not sprout'
up again if you cut them in the
dark of the moon between the 1st
and goth of August.
When the full moon comes on
in July, heavy crops are
insured for that year.
In some sections of east Tennessee
fruit farmers believe that a rock
lied to the branches or forks of
fruit tree which has not been bear
ing will bring about a heavy yield
Of fruit.
