visit Montevideo, capital Of Uru-
quay. Montevideo has very real
charm. Perhaps 1t Is the roses which
bloom during its summer: perhaps
it is the wide streets, in marked con-
| trast to the narrow ones of many a
Latin american city; perhaps it is
| the gay beach pavilions and umbrel-
las which sprout from its many
beaches. Travellers are stirred there
by the Carreta Monument, showing
a Uruguayan pioneer setting out
across the plains with his oxen and
his low, two-wheeled oXcart, just
as North Americans set out in COW
ered-wagon days. Too, they are
awed by the maSSiveness and gran
deur of the monument to the patriot
Artigal-in any event. they always
come away with pleasant memories
of Montevideo.
Montevideo is across the wide
River Plate from another great cap
/ ltal. BuenoS Aires, the national GEN.
ter of Argentina. Perhaps the most
/ interesting sight in Buenos Aires is
/ its famous Gale Florida, a street
of fine shops which is closed to traf-
/ flc during the afternoon. so that
every one may stroll down its center.
Among the sights of Buenos Aires
are the Palermo Gardens, the Obe-
lisk. the tomb of San Martin, lib
orator of Argentina: the Congress
and its plaza, ana the subWays. so
clean and sparkling that they seem
to have been opened only yesterday.
For panoramic view of the city
and the River Plate travellers like
to lunch in the Comega Club, high
above the streets.
North Americans in Buenos Aires
always find it worthwhile to visit
the nearby city of Lujan, the
Lourdes of Argentina, Paraguay and
Uruguay. In addition to it's cathe-
dral, Lujan has one of the most
interesting historical museums of
this continent, place where one
can spend fascinating hours view
ink mementoes of Argentin's history
and great men.
Argentina has two "musts" for
| those staying more than few DAYS
The first of these is Manuel Huapi
pronounced MAXWELL wah-pee)
National Park, also known as the
Argentine Lake District. For a good
visit, one should allow at least a
week. On the border of the Andes.
Manuel Huapi is often compared to
Switzerland, and its mountains,
glaciers, lakes, forests and even
many of its mountain homes Justify
the comparison.
Some travellers spend their STAY
at hotels in the little town of Bari
loche, but better plan is to visit
the outlying chalet-hotels, where
home-raised and home-cooked food
is served and where horses and cars
are available for excursions. One of
the best known of these is the
Ell Tronador, near the mountain of
the same name.
Argentina's other must" is
1guazu Falls, which may also be
visited from Brazil Hotel accom-
modations can now be had on either
the Brazilian or the Argentine side
OF the falls. From Buenos Aires
they are reached by combination
of rail and boat travel into Jungle
regions. The falls themselves are
wider than Niagara and Victoria

frequent and difficult means of com munieation and transportation would almost preclude any monopoly system such as the one in Wash ington. It appears almost obvious that the problem of inventory con trol, the problems of delivering li- quor from the centralized ware house to the retail outlets, the pro blems of supervision and auditing, and the problems of transmitting the funds aeeruing from the sales of the retail outlets to the central Of flee would be so difficult and ex- pensiye as to absorb all profits which might be hoped for
 As stated in the beginning of this letter, this Board in addition to operating his monopoly system has complete centralized licensing control of the sale of beer and wine and consequently l am familiar with both methods of control.

 The hundred years. battle for womens rights, which won for wo- men the right to own and control their own property, to share the guardianship of their children, to practice professions and hold public office. as well as 10 vote. has left no great wrong to their sex to be righted in the next century, Mrs catt says.
 But there are other things she thinks they should fight for. First she lists that scrap for a clean de moeracy. Next. she thinks women need a greater representation Tn the legislatures and Congress. And. last, she thinks the Bill of Rights should be rewritten and redefined.
 Though she spends more time looking forward than back, she takes a quiet satisfaction in the feminine rights and advances gained in the last loo years.
 T can remember when geogra- phy was considered too high a branch of learning for girls, when man had the right to will his un- born child to anyone he pleased, when a husband could appropriate the money his wife earned, she says.

WOMEN MARK ANNIVERSARY
 OF SUFFRAGE
By ADELAIDE KERR AP Feature Service Writetr


 Twenty years after American wo-I men won the right to vote, Carrie Chapman Catt, who led them in the final franchise battle believes they face an era of the hardest work and greatest responsibility they have ey-I CT known.
 The whitehaired suffrage leader, now 81, voiced that belief in an ex-I elusive interview just before theI twentieth anniversary of the adopt ion of the suffrage amendment-I August 26, 1920.
 To her it also represents another date-the end of the hundred years she calls 'The Womans Century" in which, she says, women won more liberties and rights than men ever did in any one hundred years.
 The century began in 184O with plans for the Seneca Falls Conven- tion. Finally, in 1848, tthe conven- tion was held-American women met for the first time in defense of their rights and drafted the Declar- ation of Sentiments citing the fam ous grievances which they wanted righted
 The century ended with year in which women advanced considerably in political power They took more active parts in the Presidential can i didates' campaigns than ever before and sat on a convention platform board for the first time.
 Harder Work Ahead
 Mrs Catt believes that war-not the freedom gained by the vote-is the cause of the coming hard work and responsibility she foresees for women.
 After every war there has been period of great economic disturb ance,' she said.
 Men come home, cant find jobs and women have to work to help support the family Many women are working now because of the ec- onomic upset caused by the last war and I think there's still harder work for them ahead.
 'I believe they will also have to shoulder great responsibility. We have now come to a time when some countries attempt to under mine democracy and We need clean democracy if we are going to uphold it.
 Women will have to help battle for it."
 If you think of Carrie Chapman Catt as frail little white-haired woman who spends her time remin- iscing over battles won, you will have to change the picture. 1 She's active, keen-minded, firm stepped and spends more time look ing forward than back. The big book-walled library in her New Rochelle home has a desk bigger than most bank presidents can boast. It's strewn with the papers, correspondence and books over which she works nearly every day.
 Planning For Convention
 She spends hours over the days news-some reference to it pops up in nearly every topic she touches. And she's still president of the Ma tional American Womens Suffrage Association and honorary president of the International Womens Suf- frage Alliance-as she was in the 1 days when she battled for the vote.
 Right now she is deep in plans for the Women's Centennial Con- gress to be held in New York, No vember 25-27, in celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the sign ing of the nineteenth amendment. Women from all over tthe country

All Govt. Securities
 ToBe Taxed Hereafter
Secretary of Treasury MOrgenthau Claims It Will
 Defray Mounting Costs of Rearmaments Plans

Washington, Nov. --(UP)--Sec- retary of Treasury Henry Morgen- thau, Jr., said today that the treas ury will recommend to Congress that tax exemption on all govern ment securities be eliminated irnfne- diately.
 Morgenthau suggested this step as one means of helping defray the mounting costs of rearmament. De- fenSe, he said, will require other extraordinary financial arrange ments and he said that he proposed to ask Congress to extend the debt limitation by $15,0O0 0OO, 900 or $20,- OO0O00,000.
 He estimated that total govern. ment debt might be $65 100, 900 900 by June 30, 1942.
 The secretary declined to estimate government expenditures during the next four years but replied:
 We have only just begun to re- arm"
 Morgenthau explained to news papermen that additional govern ment borrowing up to June 30, 1942, would approximate $15,000, ,000, ,000 to $20,000, 100000. One of the first steps in the governments financing pro- gram will be to ask Congress to add the $4000.000,000 already au- thorized for defense financing to the present statutory debt limit of $45 900 100000. That move would be a technical one to establish the debt limit at $49,O0o, 100000. @
 No Retroactive Tax
 Morgenthau said that the treasury does not contemplate any attempt to impose retroactive tax on gov- ernment securities. The proposed
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-11-07

tax, he said, would be applied to new issues, and he estimated that approximately $2,0OO,oOOOOO in state and municipal financing issues will mature next year. He said he ex- pected all issues thereafter to be taxable,
 He refused to estimate at what cost the government could obtain money if the tax exemption on gov- ernmental issues were removed. He admitted that the cost might rise slightly.
 "The time has come," Morgen- thau said, Ito make all government securities pay taxes. Just as soon as the proper congressional conninit- tee meets, I or a representative of the treasury, will place the matter before it."
 ii4E No Imitation Fear
 Morgenthau declared that he had no fear of imitation.
 with Roosevelt here we can take the necessary steps when abnormal price trends appear and we are go- ing to watch every minute. We will keep the cost of living stable."
 However, MorgenthAu said, 1t would be impossible now to adopt a pay as you go poicy.
 "The increase in the debt limit will make 1t possible to borrow all the money appropriated by congress and will give the opportunity to borrow ct the best rate and time needed" he said. Elimination of government securities exemption also will raise taxes"
 The secretary announced that he was leaving this afternoon to visit Puerto Rico, Jamaica and the Virgin Islands. He plans to inspect U. S..
