Internal problems developed almost
at once and on February 16. 1910,
his cabinet finally resigned to give
him a free hand to carry out his
broad reconstruction program. Two
days later he announced, in formal
decree, that he was assuming all
political powers and became virtual
dictator.
The announcement was received
with calmness throughout the coun-
try. He devoted his entire energies
to the pressing problems of govern
ment; of rebuilding the domestic
structure; Of encouraging colonial
ton.
In his youth he decided to to be
an agricultural expert. At 10 he had
made success. But he had an urge
for military career. He entered
the Asunsion Military Academy,
from which he emerged at 81 as
sublieutenant. His proficiency
earned for him a military scholar
ship in the Chilean Army.
In 1924 he went to France to COM
plete his military education. Upon
his return, four years later, he was
promoted to chief of staff. At the
outbreak of the war with Bolivia
he was commander of the garrison
at the key post of Puerto Casado.
Won Army Command.
He was among the first to see
action. His success in the recap
ture of Forts Pitiantuta and Bo-
queron won him command of the
army in the southern sector. In
1888 his army surrounded and cap
tured two full Bolivian divisions
at Campo Via.
He was q popular hero, re-
garded as one of the leading mill
tary geniuses-if not the leading
one-on the South American con-
tinent. President Eusebio Ayala pro.
ceeded to the battlefield and pro-
NOTED him to general and COM
mander in chief of the Paraguayan
Army, with a pension for life.
Then came another military sue
cess, the victory at Canada ell Car
men, and he received the Chaco
Cross. the highest military honor
that could be bestowed. At the truce
of June IA. 1885, with Estigarribia's
army holding more territory than
Paraguay ever laid claim to, the

Congress created a special military
degree for him, General de Ejer-
cito"-chief Of the army.
Went Into Exile.
After the armstice of January
Fl, 1886, there was a quick revolu-
ton; Col. Rafael Franco became
the head of the country, and Esti-
garribia, the war hero. went into
exile.
In 1887 another coup d'etat threw
out President Franco and DR.. Felix
Paiva became President. One of
his first acts was to recall, the exile.
He was given q popular welcome at
Asunsion ar i soon thereafter was
named Minister to the United
States.
He was popular in diplomatic cir
cles here and negotiated a $780,
600 loan for construction of q CEN
trail highway across Paraguay. He
also secured loans to strengthen the
Central Banks gold reserves.
The Liberal party nominated him
as their presidential candidate and
he was elected by large majority.

Austin Charges Wallace
With outrageous SIur'

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Austin, Republican. of
Vermont accused Henry A. Wallace
yesterday of casting "an outrageous
slur upon millions of patriotic
Americans in speech at Du
Quoin, Ill, Friday night.
Mr.. Wallace asserted that Repub-
Hcans were "obstructing" national
defense and asked whether there
was something sinister behind
their efforts to handicap the Presi-
dent" To this, Senator Austin
said:
The hysterical character of his
accusation is apparent from a check
of Republican votes in House and
Senate. which show overwhelming
support of the national defense
program. Democrats, on the con-
trary, have led the opposition to
the Presidents program, as every
reader of the newspapers is aware"
Senator Austin asserted that "the
welfare and safety of the United
States is charge upon all men, and
Republicans. whether in or out of
Congress, will not stoop to the
tactics which Wallace is now en-
ploying in an attempt to check the
national swing to Willkie and
McNary."

Gen. Estigarribia was elected Presi-

Previously he had served a short
term as Paraguayan Minister to

Gen. Estigarribia, who once was
exiled from his country, abolished
the representative regime last Feb

CHAMPAIGN, ILL.,, Sept. Henry
A. Wallace concluding a campaign
tour of Illinois tonight, asserted he
had found people more completely
awake to the necessity of prepared
ness than I had anticipated"
The Democratic vice presidential
candidate told an audience at the
Champaign County Fair Gorunds:
The response and attitude to-
ward the administration is far more
friendly than I had been led to be-
lieve. Apparently the people of the
entire Nation are more nearly
united in support of the admins
tration foreign policies than had
hitherto realized"
Mr.. Wallace, whose five-day tour
was confined to down-State. de-
clined to forecast whether Illinois
would stay Democratic in the No
vember election, saying he had not
had an opportunity to talk with
enough of the party organization
leaders. Those he had talked with
were optimistic" he commented.
The former Secretary of Agricul-
ture planned to leave tonight for
Omaha and will make tour of
Nebraska the first three days of
next week.
In his talks today, Mr.. Wallace
credited big city Democratic politi-
cal machines with aiding passage
of New Deal farm legislation.
Il am happy to say it was the
Democratic members of these big
city machines who made it possible
for us to pass much of the beneficial
farm legislation in Congress, while
the Republican Representatives of
the East, many controlled by the
big corporations, were voting against
agriculture" he said.
Mr.. Wallace added that "big city

sive property of the Democratic

accident today his excelIency, the
President of the republic and gen.
eral of the army, Jose Felix Estigar-
ribia, and his wife lost their lives.
This loss deprives the republic
of one of it's greatest sons and-it is
necessary that people doing honor
to our glorious chief should re-
double their purpose and follow his
luminous tracks toward concord and
the national welfare"
Failed TO Name Assembly.
No official could say who would
succeed Gen. Estigarribia. He was
empowered by the new constitution
of last August Is to name a coun-
Gil of state and general assembly
which would designate successor
in the event of his death. He had
named neither the council nor the
assembly, however.
The president and his wife left a
daughter, Sonora Graciela Estigar-
ribia de Fernandez, wife of the
Paraguayan Minister to Washington.
She was informed of the deaths by
cable.
At the time of his election he was
his country's Minister in Washing
ton. Returning to his homeland to
assume the presidency he found the
nation still bleeding from the war
with many wounds to heal
The war had lasted over three
years-although the Chaco boundary
dispute itself had existed for a CEN
tury-and the country was drained
of its resources and young man pow
er. The total casualties were esti-
mated at more than 100 900 and the
material loss at S100 900 ,0OO
He took the oath as President amid
popular acclaim on August Is, 1899.

A STRANGE CRY

The nations great Industrial con-
Germs have been asked to cut loose
with their full might 10 prepare the
Americas and there has been no
hesitation In private industry about
meeting any need and requirement
OF the Government.
But, even before our industries
could get started they received
warnings that they are under sus-
picion. However, private industry
is accepting the gO-sign, and the pub
lie knows that these organizations
viii turn loose unlimited supplies OF
war implements TO protect this Hem
isphere against invasion by Euro
pean dictators. There seems no oc-
casiOn to cry wolf!
Nevertheless, a permanent dislo-
cation of our economy OF distribu-
tion for the next rs years is among
the possibilities that may result
from the present need to spend
billions for Defense" declared Thur
man arnold, Attorney General of the
United States in an address before
the Institute of Public Affairs at
Charlottesville, Virginia. He devot-
ed attention to methods of his Fed
eral Department that may be ex-
Dected to protect the consumer
against war imitation" He gave
credence tO-estimates that in the
World War enough money was
transferred in the United States from
the pockets of labor and consumers
to the pockets of manufacturers and
promoters Ito make 10000 new mill
lionaires. Farmers and consumers
who will have to pay for national
defense in taxes were informed that
they must not be required to pay
double because of controlled prices
He stated that war industries are
any attempt by them to start the
price structure on an upward spiral"
must be stopped
Mr.. Arnold noted strong demands
for steel. copper, aluminium, and nu-
merous chemical products, and said
that price-bOOsting has been held
back due in part to counter pres
sure which the antitrust agencies"
Of the Government have exercised. |
The antitrust laws, If vigorously |
can prevent any group |
from using the cloak of national de-
tense to establish themselves in |
strategic positions from which they |
dominate the market" ne declared.
From that point Attoraey General |
Arnold reviewed some of the prose-
,utions against interests charged I
with violating the antitrust laws,
and concluded with an appeal ito
he consumers of this country" to /
support his Departments antitrust
'rusade which he says will guaran-
zee maintenance of "a free market
or the distribution of necessities as
/ balance against war imitation" and
he asked for an increased force of
awyers and agents "to patrol the
'oad" and insure free trade between
he sovereign States of this cOun-
ry."

The Machine Age-MOre Jobs

The machine age started on the
day one of our ANCESTORS picked mp
club to kill an animal for his din
ner Up to that time he had always
used his hands. Then, through q
fortunate and perhaps accidental
use of his brain powers, he found
himself in possession of a new tool
"a club-which made the business
of acquiring a living ten-fOld easier.
With this as a start, man kept add
ing to his collection of tools. Some
made his work easier, some made
his pleasure more enjoyable, some
increased his prowess in battle.
Wars and famines and bad govern
ment interfered with progress. but
gradually men were able to put their
brains to more and more work and
their muscles to less and less.
When Watt discovered the steam
engine a little more tina none hun
dIed and fifty years ago, a whole new
set OF tools was made possible. Men
were able to make familiar goods in
larger quantities and they also found
ii possible to make a lot of things
they never had befOre-luXuries they
called them then although they are
common enough now.
All of this didn't take place with
out a lot of argument. Whenever one
was set up to do the work
of two men, the extra man figured
that someone was trying to do him
out of living. What he didn't real |
iZe was that when the rest of the |
people found out that goods were !
easier to get and could be had for |
lower prices, he would get a job |
running a machine himself, making |
more goods to meet the demand.
We had scarcely learned to use i
the tools that steam had made pOss-
Ible when electricity came along. |
Man had new servant. new sub
5titute for his muscles. Jobs were
new high standards of !
living were established and industry
-hrived. All because we found our
selves able to make more things for
more people in less time and at low
r prices.
The demand for more luxuries.
more eOnveniences and more COM
orts will never cease. Before we
ihall be able to make all the goods
he world wants and needs, We shall
AVE to have many more machines
nd many more persons to run them.
rs Charles f. Kettering of General
Motors phrases it, "The world isn't
least not in America. So
ong as we continue to hold fast to
he American system of industry
hat has brought us 80 many benefits
We can look for more Developments,
'etter developments and NEW devel- .
pments that will mean lasting benc-
