 3. Loans repaid in full C22 of them0 .......... .$102, ,963, ,626. .29 Not one loan has gone sour. Not one loan is in arrears as to either principal or interest. Not bad for country banker, is 1t?
 The first rule of E-I Is that. a loan must be productive. They're not loaning money, thank you, to erect statues to patriots, as has often been done. But a loan for a highway will increase internal de- velopments and thus increase pur- chase of automobiles, so that's something productive.
 All equipment necessary to set up new industry under any of these loans must be purchased Sin the United States.
 A loan must increase foreign ex- change by increasing exports, or it must save foreign exchange by en- abling the friendly country--the borrower = to produce at home things it used to buy from unfriend- 1y countries. In other words, will it free American republics from hay ing to import cheap merchandise from postwar Europe? That's an important factor.
 Next, the loan must be one that can be repaid. Even in possible gamble, such as the Haiti rubber ex- pertinent, about which more later, Export-Import has planned alter native methods to help the Haitians repay.
 Finally, loans are made only when the country and the people are cooperative, willing to put up their share of the enterprise capi- tai.

 Miss Lupino portrays the daugh- ter of 8 gentle old tailor who ekes out a bare living in the tiny fog bound community of Sheepshead Bay. Passionately desiring more from life than 8 job as g switch board operator and 8 boy friend who can offer her nothing in the way of entertainment but cheap fish dinner and g walk along the boardwalk, she is delighted at the advent of new man in her life.
 This young man, played by Gar field, is go-getter, and she sees in him her chance for new life. What she does not know about him however, is that he is small time racketeer, extorting money from her father and his friend.
 In addition to Miss Lupino and Garfield, the cast boasts such fa- vorites as Thomas Mitchell who takes the part of the girls father, Eddie Albert, who appears as her steady plodding boy friend; George Tobias, John Qualen and Odette Myrtil.

NaZis would say that they would buy so-many million marks worth of coffee. But-the Latin American coffee countries were required to buy that much German hardware, aspirin or anything the Nazis had a surplus of and wanted to get rid of.
 It was barter. That is, it would have been barter if the Germans had not gone a step further, dumped the coffee on the world market at sacrifice prices, just to get gold for themselves, but there by ruining the economy and the rest of the world market for Brazil and other coffee-growing countries.
 BLOCKING THE NAZIS'
 BLOCKED MARK DRIVE
 Pierson foresaw that 1t was going to be up to the United States to find something that would counter act blocked marks. He foresaw that in the coming war the seas would be blockaded, that it would be up to the United States to produce not just sumstitute for blocked marks but trade stimulant that would beat barter and which would save the hemisphere.
 Studying the international f1nan- cial picture, Pierson had found that the principal European coun- tries had established export credit agencies to guarantee the conner cial credits of their customers.
 Warren Pierson thought the U. s. should take another look at its hand and maybe change the bid, and he said so.
 There followed somewhat of an argument. When it was over how ever, the Export-Import Bank had won, and Warren Lee Pierson set out from Washington for tour of all the 21 Latin American capitals, to see what business a country banker could stir up and what good loans he could find for all the gov- ernment dollars stacked uu behind him, by Congressional authority, for promoting world business.
 Els first Latin American loan was 8 honey. It was $15,000, and

not be duplicated in the United States, so it was non-competitive. It was something made in Brazil that the United States should buy, so it promoted trade. A group of Brazil ianS was persuaded to put up $15,- 900 of their own capital to match the U. s. loan. That made it a good risk because it too kout the Santa Claus motif and it gave the Brazil ians a stake in their own country
 Establishing that factory was simply building up South American payrolls, raising the standard of living. That 1t was a good loan is proved by the fact that all the $15,- 900 has now been paid back.
 From that beginning, Export-Im- port operations have grown until to- day-that is, as of August Hits over-simplified financial statements looks like this:

LISTENING POSTS
 TO BE ORGANIZED

Plans for organization of air raid defense listening posts on perma- nent basis are being made by the State Defense Council in prepara- tion for a large-scale observation service test which the army will hold in the northeastern states from Oct. g to 16.
 The tests, according to tentative plans, will involve blackouts of large industrial cities. It will be the duty of those stationed at the observation posts to note the number, type speed and direction of planes flying overhead and telephone the inform ation immediately to central in- formation points.
 Three of the IT observation posts set up by the state American Legion are located in the Waterbury area and have been used in previous small-scale tests. One is in South Waterbury, another in Prospect and the third in Middlebury.
 It is not believed that the placing of the observation posts and their volunteer staffs on 8 permanent basis will affect the present person. mel. Announcement of plans by the State Defense Council in this re- gard is expected soon.
 From 5000 to 12,000 civilian VOL unteers will be on duty as "spotters" during the tests.

If you want to see the funniest show of the year then be sure to visit Warmers State theater where Bud Abbott and Lou Costello are still wowing audiences in their lat est comedy sensation, Hold That Ghost" with the Andrews Sisters and Ted Lewis and his entertain CTS. Hold That Ghost" will posi- lively end Friday evening so hurry down and see it today. On the same big program is Hit The Road" starring the Dead End Kids with large cast of favoriteS.
 And then starting Saturday the State will formally usher in its iall sational thrill hit, Dive Bomber" !" in technicolor, as the headliner of the program. E.
 Co-starring Errol Flynn and Fred MacMurray, Dive Bomber is as timely as tomorrow's headlines. The big technicolor production tells the story of the Navy's unsung heroes who fly more for science than for glory and who made pos sible the development of dive bomb- ing.
 Dive Bomber" has another defi- mite bid as the picture. unique. Be- ing filmed, as it was, with com plete navy cooperation and under strictest navy scrutiny to make cer- tain that every single thing was right, it has had six high-rankiag technical directors, three of them commanders, one a captain and two flight neutenants.
 Every resource of United States naval ayiation was made available to Warner Bros. that the people of this and other lands may be well aware of what the navy is doing, in these stratoSpheric times.
 Dive Bomber" is not a war pie ture in the sense that men and planes will be shown in battle conflict. The conflict of its theme is the fight men of science, med- ical science, are waging to keep ahead of the breathtaking me- hanical development of aviation today.
 And for your further enjoyment the management will present fiesta of fun when san Antonio Rose" flashes across the screen with Jane Frazee, Robert Paige, Lon Clancy, Jr., Eve Arden, Shemp Howard and the Merry Macs.

POLES

Unusual interest surrounds "Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde" opening Friday at the Loew Poli Theater as the first smash hit of the new movie season. It is the first picture directed by Victor Fleming since Gone With the Wind" Prior to the latter, Fleming won acclaim for his Captains Courageous" and Test Pilot" both made with the star of the Robert Louis Stevenson thriller, Spencer Tracy. Sharing honors with Travy are Ingrid Berg man and Lana Turner.
 Tracy promises an interesting and surprising characterization as the good Dr. Jekyll and evil MT. Hyde. The star studied the charac- ter from every angle and worked out his impersonation of Hyde in an individual manner, keeping the makeup and delineation of it as a surprise for the general public. An- other surprise promised by the M- G-M film are the two feminine characters portrayed by Miss Berg man and Miss Turner. Contrary to expectations, the Swedish star will be seen as Ivy Peterson, barroom entertainer, her first bad girl" role, while Miss Turner, noted for her typical Hollywood glamour girl characterizations, plays the straight dramatic role of Beatrix Emery, hancee of Dr. Jekyll.
 On the same program is another smash hit, "Scattergood Meets Broadway" a comedy drama fea- turing Guy Kibbee, William Henry and an outstanding cast.
 Attractions current at Loew's Poli are headed by the Animation of Stewart Edward Whites best-sell- ing novel of the great Northwest, wild Geese Calling" co-starring Henry Fonda and Joan Bennett. Comprising the other half of the bill are "Dr. Kildare's Wedding Day" with Lew Ayres, Lionel Bar rymore, Laraine Day and Nils A. ther, and Walt Disney's latest car- toon. ''Truant Officer Donald"

 Not Over 8 Months
Pipe Line Construction Started This Year Expected
 Definitely to Take Up the Slack

Der of inland waterway barges being turned out with equal repidisy, the sole bottle neck in the petroleum industry's defense service, shortage definitely temporary says George L. Benedict, Jr., Secretary of the Connecticut Petroleum Industries Committee.
 It is estimated that the huge pipe line to be constructed from East Texas to. New York via St. Louise will provide service equivalent to 65 tank ships, while the Plantation line from Louisiana to North Caro- lima will release 10 tankers. ThA Southeastern line from FIlorids through Georgia into Tennessee will release two ships, and the, Portland. Montreal line at least three mora
 With all pipe lines now operating at capacity and all available tank ships, tank sars, and barges being pressed into service to minimize thA shortage expected this year along the Atlantic Seaboard, as the result of diverting tank ships to the Brit. ish service, the industry is also ex- tending its normal pipe line con-i strucvtion program to aid in meet ing emergency needs. It is estimated that all in all more than 10000 miles of pipe line will be built by the in- dustry in 1941 alone.
 Increased loading of tank ships and expeditions handlinf of tank cars is contributing to relief of the present situation. Crude oil is nov ing east from a pipe line terminal at Lima, O., for the first time in 20 years, and 1t is estimated that with in a short time more than 1000 tank cars will be put on this run.

One of the old ideas about the reason North Americans couldn't get along with the Latins has been the cocked-eyed theory that the north- srners didn't have the suavity, the finesse, the continental polish to get by in high class Sapnish or Portuguese society.
 Well. this isn't to imply that MT Pierson doesn't have good manners, out he is as American as apple pie.
 He's another big feller, gray hair with a wave in 1t, deep, deepset blue eyes that can bore holes through the corrupt soul of any mortgage-plastered defaulter, and 3 square jaw that might have been exercised biting of tenpenny nails and cusS words.
 ADOPTED POLICY OF
 SOUND COUNTRY BANKER
 He has no copy beck rules of his own. but a few of his random re- marks give you this idea that some body may have been kidding you about the good neighbors.
 "The Latin loves a deal"
 "They are all afraid of Santa Claus down there"
 Any time you take a Lady Bountiful attitude, they lose in- terest."
 Their top-f1ight bankers down there are better educated and better economists than most of the officers of the New York banks"
 They're practical"
 Maybe some of the Latin Amer lcanG ought to stir themselves a ittl8 and learn some of our ways" !"
 The main reason there are Ger mans in South America is that they'd rather be there than in Ger many"
 Anyway ...
 Warren Lee Pierson, though he started out in life to be a lawyer, has adopted the simple policy of a sound country banker to win South America from the Germans and into the U S. corner. It has worked.
 In Latin America, the Germans under Hitler had perfected some of their best tricks. Particularly the trick of the blocked marks. The

run oyer a few of the loans nov outstanding or authorized.
 Tn 1889, Brazil faced financial crisis because her export cotton and coffee markets collapsed. In March, 1889, Export Import loaned the Ban- co de Brasil $l9,20Oy 900 to suppori her credit structure. Much of the money found its way back to the United States as payments to U. s, exporters who, incidentally, were also screaming for relief. In July 1941, the whole Brazilian loan was repaid, on the due date.
 Cooperation of this kind, wash ington now knows, is worth more than all the propaganda that ever came out of Berlin.
 Warren Persons Cuban sugar loan is another for the book. Il looked crazy at first. Crazy like g fox Cuba, a one crop country, al- ready had 8 surplus of sugar on g theoretically falling world market Its crop was two million tons, and the price then was only 55 cents @ hundredweight.
 SUGAR PROFIT
 WILL REPAY LOAN
 Pierson thought that with Brit aims normal sugar supply cut of by the war, she would need more sugar-and Cuba had it. Export Import therefore advanced Cuba 8 stabilization loan of $11, ,300,O ,O0O, but only on condition that a tax be le- vied on the whole crop to repay the loan. Pierson's judgment was cor. rect. England did need more sugar The price went up. The Cuban loar will be repaid-out of Cuba's pro- fits.
 Tn Haiti, Export Import may bt taking long-shot chance. All the other loans are based on probabil- ity. This one is-well, a gamble.
 While travelling about South Ann erica, Pierson had learned a few things about rubber. He knew, as everyone else did, that rubber orig mated in Brazil. For years the De- partment of Agriculture has beer FSending expeditions down to Brazil trying to help reestablish the rub Der empire where it was born.
 To grow rubber commercially takes three things-climate, soil and 8 darn good labor supply Braz had the first two, all right, but il was shy on the third, and it is fol this reason, principally, that some theorists fear that rubber may never be a big factor in Brazil's develop ment.
 In Haiti, Pierson found all the in- gredients for a perfect rubber plan tation-if 8 successful competitive rubber plantation can ever be estab- hshed in America, Haiti was there fore fixed up with a loan for ex- perimenting with rubber.
 The first loan is S, ,000, ,000. That's what it will take to clear the for ests and plant the trees. The whole thing may be a gamble, admittedly. But it's one of those canny, country banker gambles, for many of the trees cut down are hardwoods. Cut into beams and boards they'll add materially to urgently needed U. s. defense supplies.
 And that, in all too brief form, is the story of the Export-Import Bank of Washington.
