Even then, the steel magazine

A steady flow of new business
plus fairly large backlogs built ir

industry of big production schedules
for some time to come, the survey

Behind The Scenes In
Washington.

~sS"
World nations agree to the "eco-
nomic union plan recently pro-
posed here, the United States is
in for a program which would
make its previous farm-relief and
export-subsidy programs look mild.
To begin with, Europe annually
buys around 81, 500, 600, 900 worth of
Latin American goods. On top of
that the United States itself each
year exports farm products rum
ming to hundreds of millions of dol.
lars. Any international carte
formed to buy and handle the New
Worlds export surpluses, therefore,
would have to spend an enormous
sum each year and most if not
all of the money would have to be
put up by Uncle Sam.
But that only starts it. Once the
cartel has bought these goods it
will have to dispose of them.
The bulk of them, undoubtedly
could be sold to Europe - Hitler's
Europe, or anybody else's. B t
there is also little doubt here that
a large quantity would remain as
surplus. What to do about that?
PLAN LIKELY
TO BE COSTLY
The administration is firmly set
against any plan which would
mean the dumping of Latin Amer
lean agricultural products into the
U. S. market, to compete with
homegrown goods. 1t frankly faces
the fact that a good part Of the
cartel's acquisition simply couldn't
be sold anywhere.
One suggestion is that these ma
terials - mostly foodstuffs - could
be moved in the United States via
a vast extension of the current
food stamp plan. Another n is
simply that the whole business
could, if need be, just be dumped
into the ocean - or, possibly, given
away via international relief or.
CARNATIONS to feed refugees, and
SO on. In any case, the prospect
that a huge loss, running perhaps
to half a billion a year, would have
to be taken is openly admitted.
THE SWASTIKA
FOLLOWS TRADE
Why, then, do the sponsors OF
this plan think it would be good
business?
The answer is that the much
feared economic penetration of Hit
Ter in the New World will not come
through his sales of German-made
goods, but through his purchases,
If he controls the market for each
individual nation, he can write his
own ticket; he can, for instance
say to a given republic, Il will
take your entire export crop of
your hands, IF -" and then GO
on from there.
If however, he does not con-
troll the market at all; if each ma
ton in the New World knows that
it can sell it's wares to a New
World corporation, and if all Of
Hitler's purchases must be made
through that corporation - then,
the argument goes, the danger OF
economic penetration vanishes.
PLENTY OF
OBJECTIONS
1t goes without saying that there
is nothing like unanimity or the
virtues of this scheme.
The enormous expense is the sug'
The enormous expense is the
first objection. Another is the sug-
someness.
However, it looks nov as if this
program might be approved by

WON'T INITIATE
MARIE DRESLER

Hollywood thinks she's a gooN
choice. Seeing and hearing her on
the set, you'd be sure of it. Miss
Rambeau is a colorful and lusty
character in her own right. She's
a sort of feminine John Barry
more; there have been a lot of
dips and peaks in her career; if
she has missed theatrical immor-
tally it's because she has been too
busy having fun; but whenever she
sets her mind to it she can do a
bang-up job of acting.
I'm not like Dressler, and if
they had wanted me to initiate
her I wouldn't have taken t e
part" she said. Il can do my own
characterization, and l certainly do
feel in character with these old
seagoing clothes and this make
up. No, they haven't tried to
age me-just to make me look
Weatherbeaten."
NEW BUT FORCEFUL
CHARACTERIZATION
Although she began on the pro-
fessional stage, in San Francisco
in 1901, Miss Rambeau is not quite
81 and even in makeup is a good
deal more attractive-looking than
the public conception of Tugboat
Annie. Simmer, too. But quite as
brisk and fortnight, and maybe a
somewhat more sympathetic char
acter because of irrepressible fut-
terings of feminity.
She began her movie carer in
1916, and resumed it in 1880. But
most of her life has ben spent
on stages, from Broadway te
Juneau, Alaska. Once when she
was playing in stock in Tacoma,
Miss Rambeau knew the original
Tugboat Annie, a well-loved figure
of the northwest whose exploits
were the basis for the tales written
by Norman Reilly Raine. She also
has known Raine for several years.
The author, incidentally, is head
scenarist at the Warner studio, but
when the company purchased the
movie rights to the stories from
Metro, they were turned over to
another writer for adaptation.
I asked Miss Rambeau If she
were a good sailor, and she said
yes, and that she also knows the
northwest coast. When she was IL

er, who was opening a hospita.
And once they went on the ordin'
arily brief voyage across the strait
to Siberia and were away 80 days,
storm-bound with an open whaling
boat. Miss Ramoeau was the frs
white child to travel up the Snake
river, she said. Years later she
went back with a stock company
and played in towns where no the
atrical performance ever had beer
seen.

Medical Care
BY LOGAN CLENDEN1NG, M. D.

Tennis is one of the least dam
ferrous sports, although I believe,
curiously enough, it ranks ahead
of skiing in number and serious
ness of injuries sustained. I don't
understand this about skiing be-
cause I have seen about a zillion
skiers take off in the movies and /
safest of all sports but that is what
the statisticians say.
Tennis, however, takes its toll in
the way of sprains, sometimes
broken bones and at least one &C.
cupational hazard.
''Tennis Elbow
The occupational hazard of ten
mis- players is tennis elbow" Ten
mis- elbow is a pain on the outside
of the arm, just above the elbow.
A Boston surgeon has described
this condition in his own person.
Underneath the spot that hurts,
you can feel a small outgrowth OF
bone. The Boston doctor thought
that he had Clipped this off but
the X-ray showed that it was per
fectly normal.
The worst thing to do is to try to
buck it and go on playing tennis.
It is really due to an Inflammation
of a small bursa underneath one
of the muscles in the forearm,
which rides over the elbow joint,
Sometimes the bursa has to be re.
moved surgically. Heat and rest
and strapping with adhesive plas
ter, and sometimes even putting or
a plaster cast, is necessary.
Sprains in playing tennis a r G
common enough. Sprains SHOULD
not be treated too seriously if they
ire really sprains. In other words
the first thing to do with a sprair
is to be ure that it is a sprain anc
not a fractured bone. This, O:
course, a be decided by the x
ray, so an X-ray picture is the frs
treatment of sprain. A sprain is
only a torn or stretched ligament
Tennis had something to do with
our modern treatment of sprains
because some years ago an Eng
fish doctor found that his young
patients who disobeyed his orders
and went on playing tennis got
well of their sprains faster than
those who were kept in bed for six
weeks, so the general idea now is
to rest a sprain for a day or two,
strap it firmly with adhesive tape
and encourage motion and action.
