Favorable trade with the U. S., coupled with the
good neighbor background has greatly strengthened
the bonds between the U. S. and neghbors to the
south. The U. S. anti-Nazi blackisting German
business houses in Latin America quickly followed
by many South American countries hoping to gain
favor with the U. S. (and perhaps a little trade)
Bolivia, Mexico Cuba and Argentina have taken steps
to drive out Nazi fifth coumnists.
The U. S. has contracted to buy surpluses of
metals from producers in Mexico, Chile and Bolivia
This is aggressive warfare against toalitarian trade
in the Western Hemisphere.
u. S. foreign policy has been aggressive enough in
the Western Hemisphere to prevent Hitler's cohorts
from gaining much of foothold nevertheless, all of
Hter's agents have not been expelled from the West
smsphere and thus continued alertness is neces
sary.

three methods Of preservation of
food for the use of the community.
(The three methods are refrigera-
ton (perhaps freezing), canning,
and dehydration.) Also, add an in
expensive mill for the grinding of
whole grains which have the vita
minis and the other contents which
we know the American diet now
lacks. 20
Asks Free Equipment.
The REA also suggests to the men
who own the cooperative power
lines that they install the equipment
free. Two large manufacturing
companies have already agreed to
sell the schools the necessary equip
ment at low rates and on easy
terms.
The cheapest equipment, without
the refrigerator, would cost about
$50. That would provide hot plates,
a rooster, small -four mill, small
dehydrator.
The most expensive equipment
includes a walk-in refrigerator with
freezing equipment, larger mills
and dehydrators, water pressure
and water heater systems.
The purpose of making such in
stallations is two-fold One is to
make available proper lunches and
demonstrate their preparation to
the children in the hope that they
will carry home the ideas. The
second is to provide centers for
demonstration by experts, and also
a place where the women of the
community can preserve food,
where food can be kept in frozen
storage and where facilities for dry
ing and canning for the use of MEN,
bers of the community are at
hand.
The final goal of this plan is ex-
pressed in Vice President Wallace's
reference to Hstrong bodies and
alert minds" The immediate pur-
pose is to provide a practical means

Food From Home.
Imagine the child, instead of car
rying cold lunch to school, taking
the food that can be cooked there.
There is food on the farm. Sup
0ose the children bring their own
wheat have it ground in the mill.
Suppose some of the bread is taken
home. and the folks get to eating
it. Then. suppose the. farmer de-
cidss to buy little mill of his own:

For we might as well face the
fact that whenever production ex-
ceeds national demand the farmer
takes so cents instead of the dollar
he has earned. We have solved
production. We must now solve the
infinitely more difficult problem of
distribution and that can be done
only through national legislation.

greatest road mileage of any coun-
try in the world.

Suppose Hitler
Stubs His Toe?

In a grass-covered triangle in
historic Pennsylvania avenues eel
bow" where it obligingly stops to
keep from running into the Treas
ury building, stands a temporary
glass house. Around it are booths
and tents, bandstand, and fierce
looking cannon. In the glass house
defense bonds are sold. In the
booths, there are representative Of
the Red Cross and the United Serv-
ice organizations. Recruiting Of
ficers for the army. navy, and ma
rines will politely explain the tools
of their trade.
That square is the symbol of this
capitol city, once more a seething
town, into which government work
ers have poured at the rate of 5000
a week for whole year. And still
they come. New government build
ings have pushed far outside Wash
ington's borders, across the Poto-
mac. One after another, apartment
houses are being changed into Of
fees.
Dollars pour out of the treasury
at the rate of more than a billion
a week.
That's Washington today.
If Toe Is Stubbed.
But suppose that Hitler stubs his
toe!
Suppose he doesn't stub it until
1944-that is when we will have
reached full production, total en-
ployment-and suddenly peace is
upon us.
