personality. She is slight, soft-voiced
and chic, and one more easily pic
lures her with high comb and man
tilla, attending some gay fiesta, than
in the role of political economist.
She explained that her interest in
the graver problems of life was
inspired by a close companionship
with her father, DR.. Facundo T.
Larguia, who for many years was
prominent in medical circles of his
country and practiced in Buenos
Aires until his death at the age
of 30.
The doctor gave his daughter the
opportunity of learning political
economy in a practical way, Senorita
Larguia recalled. He made her
supervisor of his 18,000-acre "estan-
cia" In Sante Fe Province, northwest
of Buenos Aires, where thousands
of pounds of wheat, corn, fax and
other commodities were produced
annually. Senorita Larguia told
how her work was to decide what
crops were to be planted and where
they were to be marketed when
harvested.
Besides her ranch experience, the
Argentine economist worked closely
with women's groups in her own
country, where there are plenty
of good laws with respect to wom-
ems social and civil rights" But
for many years, she said, the
women did not know how to take
advantage of them.
She attended the Lima conference
in 1888 as a delegate from the Ar
gentine, and later Travelled extern
sively through South and Central
America. She has visited many sec
tions of the United States since she
came here year ago and plans to
return to the Argentine after she
has completed her studies In eco
nomic, trade and labor problems
here
81 am not working for degree, "
she explained, but for knowledge. -
Senorita Larguia is an ardent sup
porter of the good neighbor" policy
and she agrees with many that to
help ones own country it Is neces-
sary to know ones neighbors.
"One can't advance alone, onc
must have neighbors. she remarked
And a country can't advance So
cially If it can't have understand
| ing of its neighbors.'

Aid Appeal
Liberty or Slavery
Is Real Issue,
Senator Lee Says

Pleading for further revision OF
the Neutrality Act to permit even
greater aid to Britain, Senator Lee,
Democrat, of Oklahoma, yesterday
made an impassioned appeal in be-
half of England before 500 guests
of the Political Study Club at the
Hotel Maydower.
rs there a man with soul so
shriveled he would refuse weapons
to England?" Senator Lee asked the
annual luncheon assemblage, which
included Mrs. Claude A. Wickard,
wife of the Secretary of Agriculture;
Mrs. Emil Schram. wife of the new
president of the New York Stock
Exchange: Sonora de Guachalla.
wife of the Bolivian Minister, and
dozens of other wives of high Gov
ernment and South American Off
cials.
Parts of the Neutrality Act which
are "hobbling' the United States
program of aid to England should
be revised, Senator Lee declared.
Scoring isolationists and the
America First Committee as shoot
ing cocaine into the muscles of ma
tional strength" Senator Lee en-
phasized the need for unity and
haste in supplying aid to Britain.
Real Issue Is Liberty
Or Slavery, He Declares.
Declaring that passage of the
lease-lend bill "irretrievably" COM
mitted the United States to all-out
aid to Britain, he said division of
purpose and debate should cease.
Isolationists who drug the minds
of the people by still decrying" hor-
rors of war do not realize the issue
is now changed to that of liberty
or slavery, Senator Lee stated.
Peace or war is not the question
unless you have the peace of France
in mind" he said. 1t is now a ques-
ton of free trial or mock trial,
free debate or the concentration
camp, he added.
His proposed revision of the Neu-
trality Act would permit even greater
flow of arms to England, which
keeps war further away from the
United States with every Messer-
schmitt shot down and brings it
closer with every British ship tor
pedoed." he said.
when I was a soldier" Senator
Lee told the group, 'I was taught
to take advantage of every cover,
every ravine. tree or house.
The British Empire is barrier
now, and we should keep that life
line stretched between us and Hit
ler.''
I'VE want time to speak to Hitler
from mouths of cannon and with
tongues of fire" he continued, land

clared. If England falls, Hitler will

should be more action and less talk
ing If the desired understanding
among the nations of this Hemis-
phere is to be accomplished.
"A workable trade treaty is the
basic move for better understand
ing" she declared.
She smiled as she continued in
fluent English, with a delightful ac-
cent. "All the conversation about
good will and better understanding
makes me think of the mother with
the daughter, courted by a rich
young man." she said. The daugh-
ter is pretty but poor. So the
mother says, be careful. my daugh-
ter! Until he has given you the
wedding ring, do not give him so
much as one little kiss"
Senorita Larguia explained how
her own country has suffered heavily
from loss of export markets in Eu-
rope, which until the present war
took rs per cent OF Argentine ex-
ports. Helping TO solve this serious
problem as well as similar matters
in other South American nations
would be the strongest move for
hemisphere defense that the United
States could make, the Argentine
economist believes.
Hollywood Movies
Give Wrong Impression"
Another factor which would prove
stronger than goodwill talks" for
better understanding would be i'm
provement of the moving pictures
sent from Hollywood to South Amer
ica, Senorita Larguia believes.
The moving pictures reach all
the people throughout the con-
tinent," she said, land many of
them give the wrong impression
of the United States and the peo-
pie. Movies that misrepresent the
United States are the worst propa-
ganda that can be sent" she added.
Not only does Hollywood send
pictures representing an undesirable
side of North American life, such
as gangster scenes, problem plays
and frivolities, but it also produces
pictures based on South American
life which are untrue, she asserted.
THESE pictures are resented"
she explained, "and create bad feel
ing"
On the other hand. Senorita Lar
guia believes that North American
musicians and artists have contrib
uted in large degree to promoting
good will throughout the hemi-
sphere. She spoke of the popularity
of Ruth Draper, whose portrayals
of characters in different sections
of the United States have been en-
Enthusiastically received by the Ar
gentines.
"The United States could use
many more artists like Ruth
Draper" she declared.
Interchange of students is an
other move advocated by the Argen-
tine senorita.
IT believe it would be splendid
for the different countries Of North
and South America to exchange
scholarships" she said. ut would
not be a spectacular method of
promoting understanding. but il
would be a long-range method o1
building and establishing bonds of
friendship that would be perma-
nent."

May 9Th and 18th, 1911:

Years and years have passed and

Friends may think the wounds
are healed,
Little do they know of the sor-
row
That lies in my heart con-
cealed.
God loved them too, so he thought
best,
To take them home to be at
rest,
And now they calmly sleep at
last.
All pain, all grief, all suffering
past.
Softly the stars are shining
Upon their silent graves,
There lie my mother and sister
sleeping,
The ones l loved but could not
save.
From your lonely and sad
daughter and sister,
