$200,o00,000 Cartel
For Hemisphere Trade
Encourages Roosevelt
Safeguard to Peace
And Defense Aid Seen
In Reciprocal Poets
BY JOHN C. HENRY,
Star etah Correspondent.

HYDE PARK. N. Y, June al
Reafiirming his faith in the recipro-
cal trade theories which the admin
istration has sponsored during the
past seven years, President Roose-
welt indicated to q press conference
here today that the emergency all
American economic cartel program
new being sponsored in Washington
will involve creation Of q $500, ,000,-
600 hemisphere corporation for joint
marketing purposes.
Meeting the press at the railroad
station here as he left his special
train for a week end at his old home,
the Chief Executive handed out q
formal statement explaining that
the program drafted by four cabinet
officers and already being submitted
to the other American republics lis
being undertaken in response to
new-but, we hope, temporary-de-
velopments in international rela-
tions."
Supplement to Defenses.
From the creation of an all
American economic organization. he
explained 1t is hoped to deal not
only with the present inordinate
surpluses of some of the Southern
nations, and of ourselves, but also
to stand as a supplement to the
military defense system of the hem.
isphere and a safeguard to its peace.
1n Washington Secretary of
State Hull said the cartel plan
had not been submitted to the
other American governments but
that he hoped it would be by next
week. He said discussions of the
program might be carried on sep
arately or in connection with a
conference of foreign ministers of
the American republics which
this Government has urged be
held soon
(Mr. Hull also emphasized that
the cartel proposal was consid-
cred a temporary arrangement
for dealing with abnormal condi-
tions growing out of the war in
Europe and not as replacement
Of the reciprocal trade program.)
DEPRESSING from his discussion of
this project during his press con-
ference, Mr. Roosevelt took occasion
to make brief answer to some of the
accusations of political motives
which have been levelled at his ap-
pointments yesterday of Henry L.
Stimson and Frank Knox to posts as
Secretaries of War and Navy.
Remarking that he had seen all
kinds Of things in the morning pa
pers and couldn't undertake to
answer them in detail, the Chief
Executive said his only comment
would be that there are great diff
ferences in people. Some, he added,
think in terms of patriotism and
others in terms of partisanship. No
other cabinet changes are contem-
plated now, he said.
Bluntly, he concluded that q very
difficult time is facing us.
Outlines Economic Program.
Mr.. Roosevelt's formal statement
on the economic program follows:
"Our discussions have gone for
ward in regard to action designed
to advance the economic relation
ships in the Western Hemisphere
and to create new means and bases
of economic cooperation among the
American republics. In some Of it's
essential features, this program of
cooperative economic action by the
American republics and possibly by
other countries Is being undertaken
in response to new-but, We hope,

Warmed with the wine, she felt his
touch was thrilling. She didn't want
to lose him. Her mother was in Cuba.
1t would help her to forget Walter if
she could put miles of ocean between

Saturnia till it was too late?
"You really do care for me, Pedro?

She whispered her plan, wondering
at the same time if she had gone off

not do anything wrong. And it would

He yielded. The gang would be
there. After the farewells, she was to
lose herself among the mob on deck,
and slip back to his cabin. That was
in his suggestion. She thought ex-
citedly: "I'll lock myself in one of the
ships bathrooms until she's well out
in the bay"
There were shops on the big vessel.
She'd get herself the necessary
clothes.
The fates seemed in her favor. The
gang hustled down the gang-plank

down the stewards companionway. :.

He thought that his young mistress's
ring had indicated that.
COR shall I mix cocktails, Miss
Garrett?" he suggested. She saw him
give a queer side look at the shabby
visitor. Then his face of the we'll
trained English butler resumed its
immobility.
Gaby gasped: 81 will take glass
of sherry, if you please"
She drank it, contrary to French
custom, rather fast. Color returned
to the olive cheeks.
"It is a great pleasure to meet you
again, Miss Garrett" The voice,
thought Jean had curiously intense
timbre.
Why was the girl staring at her
so intently? Jean had the feeling
there were queer Inducements here.
That she was plotting something.
"Why?" she asked bluntly.
Because" A pause.
Jean thought: "She's probably go
ing to ask me to do something to
help her." But if that were so, why
had she refused a monetary reward
for the return of the gold compact?
Was she playing for higher stakes I?
And what was Green "the Cook"
to this undeniably handsome young
girl? What had brought her to his
dive?
That she was under an extraor-
binary tension was obvious.
To break the embarrassing silence,
Jean remarked: "You arrived from
Paris a few weeks ago, didn't you?
Weren't you afraid of the submarines
on the crossing?"
"No. I came from Martinique. I was
working for an American lady there"
"And she advised you to come to

feeling oddly uncomfortable.
"No. 1 had-a good reason. 1t was
something read in the papers that

Jean said, rather kindly: "But you

The beautiful black eyes opposite
her flickered strangely as they swept

UNCLE RAYS CORNER Pirates Robbed Spanish Treasure

Among the worlds famous canals,
two stand out above all. One of
these is the Suez Canal, which joins
the Red Sea to the Mediterranean.
The other is the Panama Canal
There was time when the
Isthumus of Panama was used for
shipment of treasure. -Four CEN
turtles ago the Spaniards obtained
vast stores of gold and silver in
Peru, and wanted to transport the
riches to Spain.
Looking at map of South Amer
lea, you will observe what a long
water trip it would have been from
Peru around Cape Horn and then
to Spain. 1t was far closer to sail
northward in the Pacific to the
Isthmus of Panama, and then to
cross the neck of land and the At
lantic Ocean.
Gold and silver unloaded on the
Panama opast had to be taken
through miles of jungle. At the
village of Porto Bello they again
were placed aboard sailing vessel,
to be taken to Spain.
Pirates often met the caravans
and made away with the gold and
silver. Treasure worth millions of
dollars was lost to the Spanish
King and his mobiles.
In the past century, the railroad
train came into widespread use. A

That took care OF some troubles,
but there was too much loading
and unloading. People wanted a
canal to be cut across the isthmus.
Years were spent by a French
company in digging a canal, but
the effort failed. Later on, for
$40, 000, 900, the United States bought
the rights of the French company.
That was just the start of the
cost. Millions more were paid TO
the Republic of Panama and much
later to Colombia, which had a
claim to the route because it for
merly contained Panama
The United States spent more
than 10 years in building the

labor: 239 ,000, 900 cubic yards of dirt
and rock had to be excavated before

West opened the king of hearts
and East, fearing that low heart
would result in a diamond shift,
PLAYED the nine of hearts to en-
courage continuation.
But instead of blindly obeying
this signal. West did little think
ing. Surely, East's heart raise he'd
been based on four hearts, so South
had started with a singleton. West
could be sure, therefore, that heart
continuation would allow South to
ruff and thus assume control OF
the play. Obviously, South's line
of play would be to draw trumps and
then start the diamonds.
West knew that only one heart
end one spade could be won by the
defense. and that one club trick
would be needed even if his partner
held the diamond king. If South
held the diamond king. moreover,
two club tricks were needed-and
only an immediate shift to clubs
could produce them.
On this reasoning, therefore, he
led the four of clubs. and South
was unable to discard his losing
clubs in time. Any other lead by
West would have given South time
to knock out the spade ace, draw
trumps and discard the club losers
on dummys diamonds.
