are to be weighed first with respect
to their bearing upon the national
welfare, and only secondly upon
the political fortunes Of the New
Deal Administration. Furthermore,
1t Is an open question whether
pressure groups and those who
have been living out OF the public
trough have learned sufficient
about the dangers into which this
country has found itself to be will
ing to put government economy
and the general welfare above their
own predatory appetites.
Considering the fact that this
country has in recent years had the
politics OF New Dealism ranked
consistently above consideration of
national welfare, with results that
are now exceedingly serious for this
nation, II Is difficult to believe that
the administration will bring to an
abrupt end this method Of trifling
with the national well-being. II the
administration does not do 1t, con-
gress should. II congress falls on
this score, then 1t is up to the
newspapers and the public to set up
q clamor that will bring results.
The principal things that must
be done now are these:
Experienced and responsible men
must be taken into the government
and placed IN charge of key activi-
ties; the experienced, impractical
business batting radicals must be
sent home.
The harassing and hamstringing
OF business must be stopped. CO.
operation OF the government with
business Is an imperative reed.
Obstructive laws and regulations,
particularly In the field OF capital
Rotation and labor, must be
amended or repealed.
The flow Of private capital must
be fostered, not hindered. The
people must be united again inso-
far as humanity possible.
The government must stop Its
waste, cut down on Its non-arma-
ment expenditures, and cease Its
socialistic and boordoggling activ-
tiles.

That paragraph and others in
Vargas speech had been interpreted
in some quarters as indicating SYM
pathy with European relationships,
but informed persons said the
speech was intended only TO pave the
way for Vargas expansion Of the
natural resources of the country.
Vargas declared his countrys neu-
trality in the European war, affirmed
Pan American solidarity and said
Brazil's preparedness program us a
necessity which the entire nation
understands and applauds."
1t was recalled tina: Vargas re-
Gently called en- private capital to
aid Brazil's industrial expansion.
1t was also interpreted by some
as intended TO reassure the nation
as to It's economic position because
Of fears resulting from the decline
in exports and a general falling of
in business.
Vargas had made a number OF re-
cent speeches along the same line
and they all stressed methods which
should be applied to further the
economic and Industrial growth OF
the nation.
Vargas said yesterday that the
world was on the threshold OF O
"tumultuous and fertile new era"
and that governments must assume
their obligations to organize the
economic, political and social lives
Of their peoples.

BRAZIL SPEECH
TAKEN TWO WAYS
President Vargas Talks
Only for Home People;
Construed Differently
BY w. w. COPELAND
UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent


Rio De Janeiro June l2.-CUp)-
Most sources here today interpreted
President Getuilo Vargas navy day
speech, referring TO vigorous peo-
Piles" and new era" as purely for
home consumption, a prelude to the
further tightening of government
control of Brazilian economy, rather
than an indication OF any sympathy
for European dictators.
Vargas, who has been Brazil's
president for 10 years, spoke yester-
day at a celebration aboard the 49,
200-ton battleship Minas Geraes.
Vigorous peoples able to live
ought to follow the course OF their
aspirations instead Ut delaying in
contemplation of that which coll
lapses and falls in ruin" he said. Ut
is necessary therefore. to UNDER
stand the new era and remove the
waste of dead and sterile ideas"

Three Sure Fire Players Are Going 10 Majors
 This Season
By DILLON GRAHAM Sports Editor, AP Feature Service

The big leagues learned long age that Italian boys from California generally are good baseball play CTS. That's why a trio of young Romans from the Pacific Coasl League look like sure bets in the majors next summer.
 Topping the trio is another Di- Maggie, the youngest of the crab fishing family, named Domino The others are Dominic Dalles- sandro, chunky little outfielde1 and-Julio Bonetti, a right handed pitcher ,.,
 With famous brother Joe as the American League batting cham pion for the Yankees and brother Vince an outfield contender with the Cincinnati Reds, Dominic hopes to carve a spot for himself in the Boston Red Sox outfield
 Playing with San Francisco, Do- mimic was one of the leagues lead ing batters with a .360 average Lefty ODoul, the Seals manager, says the third DiMaggio is a bet ter base runner and just as good a fielder and thrower as Joe. He doesn't bang out the homers like Giuseppe but he is just as hard to get out
 Make Room fer Rookie
 Pilot Joe Cronin of the Red SoX personally secuted Dominic and is so convinced of his ability that he let veteran Joe Vosmik go to make room for the rookie.
 Dallessandro, who won the Coast batting championship with .368- highest figure in five years-may be Chicago Cubs regular. Dal- lessandro has been up before. Three years ago he was with the Rec Sox but bumped into a batting slump Boston sent him to Sar Diego in part payment for Tee Williams. Dominic is built along the lines of the one-time Cut great, Hack Wilson.
