British Economic Mission

Because foreign trade plays so
vital part in sustaining the en-
pire's war effort, Americans have
good reason for hoping that Great
Britain will be successful in her
present campaign to increase her
sales in Latin American countries.
Headed by Lord Wilmington, an eco
non1ic mission arrived this week at
Rio de Janeiro. In addition to Brazil,
the group will visit other South
American countries, arranging for
the purchase of foodstuffS and raw
materials and seeking wider out
let for British merchandise. Sales
in Latin America, as in the United
States, will help Britain obtain ex-
change with which to purchase over
seas the vast quantities of munitions
and supplies needed by her military
forces, now battling to free Europe
from domination by the axis powers
There is another reason why this
country should welcome Britain's
trade drive in South America.
Though their exports, since the out
break of the war, have dropped to
negligible amounts, the Germans
have their eyes on the markets of
South America AS the recent his
tory of Europe shows, NaZi trade
expansion invariably serves as the
spearhead for political penetration.
If South America increases its pur-
chases of British products, another
barrier will be placed in the way of
q postwar Nazi drive to align Latin
America with the totalitarian bloc.
Such a barrier will strengthen the
economic defenses of the Western
Hemisphere.
In 1886, for the first time in his
tory, Germany moved ahead of Great
Britain as a supplier of goods to
Latin America. She continued to
lead Britain, in the value of exports
until the outbreak of the war. In
her dealings with Latin American
countries, Germany has been helped
in recent years, by the development
of q system of barter. Because OF
her willingness to buy, or serve as an
intermediary for the sale of many OF
the surplus products of Latin Amer
lea, Germany was thus in strong
position to do business on a barter
basis. During the period Immediately
preceding the present war, she made

heavy inroads on the import trade
Of Latin America.
One purpose of the mission is ito
impress the people of South America
with our complete confidence in VIC
tory" declared Lord Wilmington, in a
statement following it's arrival at Rio
de Janeiro. Dispatch of the mission
itself is evidence that Great Britain,
despite the aerial bombardment of
her factories and the assaults on her
merchant shipping, is confident of
her ability to fill orders for her
products from the Western Hemi-
sphere.

koritzu

The Greek governments an
nouncement of special victory post
age stamp bearing the legend Koritza
SymbolizeS the most amazing mill
tary exploit of the present war. In
exactly twenty-five days, the rela-
lively small Greek Army has not only
broken the sudden onrush of Italy's
numerically superior and heavily
mechanical war machine but has
Stormed the main italian frontier
base with its vast stores of arms and
other supplies Moreover, the cap
ture of Koritza is merely the out
standing feature of general often
sive all along the front which is
driving deep into Albania at sew
eral points. Already, ArgirocaStro,
Italy's chief supply base in Southern
Albania, and Porto Edda, Italy's only
debarkation point in that region,
are menaced by the oncoming
Hellenes. Nowhere do the Italians
seem capable of making a stand, and
their morale is obviously deterior-
ating. Athens dispatches speak of
$4,000 prisoners in the Koritza sector
alone, together with captured arms
and munitions sufficient to equip
several fresh divisions of Greek
reServists.
Unless the Italian high command
can somehow manage to stem the
onrushing tide, the world may be
about to witness a colossal military
disaster, with the expulsion of Italy
from Albania and the destruction of
an army numbering at least 100000
men. Every day, the Italian situation
becomes graver. Anglo-Greek war
fleets menace Italian communica-
tons across the Adriatic Sea; Anglo
Greek air forces blast ports of de-
barkation and Strafe Italian troops
and transport over Albanian noun
tain roads. The wild Albanian tribes,
bitterly hostile to the Italian occu-
patton of their country, are already
forming guerrilla bands fired by the
lust for vengeance and loot. Incl
dentally, Albania contains a strong
Greek minority which welcomes the
Greek troops as liberators and aids
them in every way.
The chief factor which may pre-
vent the Greeks from fully exploiting
their glorious victory seems to be
not italian resistance but the grow
ing German-Bulgar threat against
Greeces northeastern frontier, Many
of Greece's best troops must be kept
there, to man the strong defense line
erected against the chronic Bulgarian
threat. When the war with Italy
began, Greece probably did not have
more than 10000 first-line troops.
Captured Italian equipment will pre-
sumably enable Greece to call to
active service many more reserviSts
from pool of trained manpower
running as high as 100000 Also, the
very magnitude of Greek successes
will doubtless spur Britain to take
chances by diverting from its Near
Eastern strongholds more materiel
and even men.
All these are bright spots in the
picture. The darker side is the black
cloud of German-Bulgar power loom
ing on the northern horizon. But
one thing is sure: Even though that
thundercloud bursts in a torrent
which sweeps Greek resistance aside,
the triumph and its fruits will be
German. The military strength and
prestige of Fascist Italy seem to be
utterly Debated

Greenslade, who watches over the pro-
lection of this Nations hemisphere in
terests.
Roosevelt built during seven years in
office will continue and may be strength
ened. There certainly is no ground for
business to expect that the Wagner Act
can be taken away from labor, or the
Agricultural Adjustment Act taken away
from the farmers, or that the Wage and
Hour Act may now be repealed. The
grants of power that have been given to
labor and to agriculture, as well as the
guarantees that have been given to old
people are on the books to stay SO long
as Mr.. Roosevelt is in power
There is grave doubt even in the minds
of the most conservative observers, that
there ever can be return to the good
old days of the past when every farmer
was the lord of his own acres and every
businessman was the undisputed car
in his own establishment. This is due to
the fact that the present war, regardless
of its outcome, will produce more malad-
justments in the world that will kick
back on the United States and require
some action by Government to provide a
correction.
However, there is more chance that
the world of the future will look like the
world of the past if Mr.. Roosevelt can
succeed In carrying out his ideas for q
worldwide New Deal than there is if the
President fails In that venture. In any
event, the period ahead is to be one Of
excitement and of gambling for very
high stakes. President Roosevelt will
play strong hand in that gamble,
backed by the growing power Of this Ma.

TRIED AS BY
FIRE
BY DIR. CHARLES STELZLE

Criticism is fair and legitimate. But
criticism should be constructive as well
as destructive. Most any fool can see
the badness and the weakness in men
and organizations. Faults are always
glaring. But it takes wise man to
see the good in others. True criticism
does not necessarily mean merely
pointing out weaknesses. 1t should
also include the discovery of virtue.
When the average man-on the out
side-thinks Of organized labor, his
mind reverts to acts of lawlessness
committed by certain so-called "lead-
ers" of trade unions. When he thinks
Of corporations, he recalls the acts of
shame done in the name of "big" busi-
ness. When he thinks of the church,
he fings at it the unrighteous actions
of handful of men in history or those
in present day life.
There is no organization in exist
ence which is entirely free of those
who secretly violate the fine princi-
pies Of the organization of which they
are members. If they are charged with
acts Of lawlessness or disloyalty they
try to justify their actions upon
purely legal basis, even going so far
as to stand trial in the courts Of law,
and very frequently the case is dis
missed for lack Of evidence or be-
cause however unfaithful they may
have been to the standards Of the or
ganization which they represent, their
action was not contrary to the law.
Ordinarily, such men are finally given
their just deserts and are properly dis
posed Of. Unfortunately, meanwhile,
the whole body Of the membership in
volved is condemned in the estimation
of the public, and it bears the penalty
which should have been visited upon
the guilty person alone.
Just now organized labor is in the
crucible. 1t has been there before,
/ because there is no way in which the
characters Of those who apply for
membership can be fairly tested-and,
! it is assumed, they have become men,
/ bers Of the union for self-protection.
Often disreputable men are placed in
I the labor union by interested persons
for the purpose of disrupting it. But
even in such cases, when the union is
compelled to pass through the fire, it
never fails to come out cleaner and
purer That's what a crucible is for.
The hotter the fire the purer the gold.
a fair discussion Of the alleged evils
/ in the labor union is sure to result
in the revelation Of the good that's in
it, and the pointing out of its weak
ness will develop its points of strength.
For the men Of labor are no fools, and
they are ready to clean their own
house when that seems necessary.

order" said Industrial Commissioner
Frieda S. Miller.
/ whether women work in fashion
able hotels, rOOming houses, resort
hotels, clubs, they are entitled to the
minimum wage.
"It is the duty of the state to see
that they all have a wage sufficient
to provide adequate maintenance and
to protect their health.
The state also has a responsibility
to employers when wage order is
set up. If one employer in an indus
try has to pay the minimum wage,
then all must do likewise Otherwise
competition within the industry would
be unfair"

The hotel minimum wage order is
the sixth order promulgated since the
Minimum Wage Law was passed in

FEUDAL LAND TITHES
OUTLAWED IN QUEBEC

Montreal, Can.-Under a law en-
acted by a recent session Of the pro-
vincial legislature seignorial tenure,
one of the last remnants of the feudal
system of land holding brought to
Quebec by the early French settlers,
has been abolished. Under the sys-
tenn owners of large tracts of land
known as seigneurs parceled out acres
to tenants and received yearly tithe.
Under the legislation abolishing the
feudaI tax a provincial commission is
distributing approximately $2,000O00
to indemnify the landlords. The ten
ants, in turn, will become owners of
the land they occupy, reimbursing the
commission through a small tax.
