accounts. American personnel and
other help is furnished. The Axis
firm is smashed.
Another means of ousting Axis in
f1uence is to eliminate foreign con-
troll of the airlines. For this pur-
pose, Jesse Jones, secretary of COM
merce, has organized an Airlines
Development company. a govern
ment corporation. This company
will lend money to any South Amer
lean country for the development of
airports; give it priority on the pur-
chase of planes-provided that coun-
try gets rid of the German or other
foreign-owned lines within its bor-
ders. This step has been taken in
Bolivia which has nationalized its
internal airlines and removed Ger
man pilots. This action has also
removed a vital link in the German
international transportation system
which has served Peru. Bolivia, Bra
I'll and Argentina.
In many Of the countries the air.
lines are already nationalized. But
in some places German pilots are
still flying the planes. In Brazil,
German-controlled lines exist but
many concessions have been grant
ed to the United States. In Central
America the lines are all controlled
by a New Zealander who started
out with an old Ford plane. hauling
freight.
The fourth plan of economic battle
is the government loan. Loans are
advanced to South American gov
ernments for the purpose of keep
ing the local currency stabilized.
Loans are also made for internal
developments, irrigation projects
and port developments which it is
expected will pay out over long
period of years, which will tend to
increase the standard of living in
the locality and thus open new mar
kets for American goods.

their thesis:
The Germans set about to control
the Latin-American trade. By max
ing the economy Of country de-
pendent on the wishes of Berlin,
the Nazis obtain political influence
just as business and other pressure
groups sometimes control political
power in this country. Once the
Germans have control of the eco
nomic forces in country they sup
plement this control with bribery
and intrigue and finally attempt to
put 100 per cent pro-Axis govern
.ment in power.
NaZi control of a number of key
governments in South America. &C.
cording to the proponents Of the
theory of economic warfare, will re-
suit in a menace to the safety Of
this nation.
The recent attempt to overthrow
the government of Bolivia is an ex-
ample of Nazi-Fascist methods. 1t
was broken up with the help of Unit
ed States agents who discovered
documents revealing the plot and
turned them over to the Bolivian
government. A similar plot. you
may recall. was discovered in Uru-
quay in the early days Of the war.
What are the methods which the
United States government employs
to stop the German economic and
political penetration and pursue its
own economic warfare? Well, they
are in part the methods employed
in the early days when the great
trusts were built up in the United
States. Except that the United
States government itself is trust
organized to benefit all and not to
exploit any of the peoples in the
Western hemisphere.

States is working with the help of
the South Americans in most cases
to an end which they recognize will
benefit all.
AS in the case of military war
fare, sacrifices are necessary in eco
nomic warfare as we'll American
manufacturers are not allowed to
trade with the Axis-controlIed firms
in South America which have been
put on the blacklist by the President.
The South Americans suffer, tenn
porarily, too. much as a nation suf-
fers when it is the ally of another
nation fighting an enemy on its own
soil.
Incidentally, it is interesting to
note that the grandson of the man
whose trust" is famous in history
for its ruthless methods of obtaining
monopoly, John D. Rockefeller, is
now heading one of the organiza-
lions which is attempting to bring
the southern and northern nations
OF the Western hemisphere into one

In Americas economic warfare
there is no trough stuff" That is,
the competitors stores and ware
houses are not burned or destroyed,
nor is violence reSorted to. But ev-
cry possible use of the dollar, which
is the most powerful economic weap-
on in the world today. is employed
to destroy the efforts of the Axis.
Four Campaigns
Are Under Way
There are four separate cam.
paigns now being conducted against
the Axis in South America by our
economic general staff.
One is based on agreements to
purchase. over a period of time,
South American surplus products,
especially war materials such as
zinc, lead, tin, copper, nitrates. This
not only prevents such materials
from falling into Axis hands but
provides dollar exchange with
which South America can buy from
us things which she might other
wise buy elsewhere.
The second economic drive is to
force the transfer of commercial
agencies from Axis into native South
American hands. Establishing pro-
Axis firms helps this. For instance,
for years the dominating commits
sion business in the city of La Paz
has been handled by Germans. Sud-
denly. these Germans lose all Amer
lean accounts, are cut off from
American credits. Their business is
ruined. The United States encour-
ages a prominent Bolivian family
to establish commission business.

Two Methods

A trust has two principal methods
of operation. One is a perfectly
honest attempt to perfect the manu-
facture and distribution of its prod
ucts or its services. The second
is the use of a means. now dis
countenanced and forbidden by law
in the United States, of ruthless, cut
throat competition to drive its COM
petitors out of business.
The latter method has been used
by the Germans in South America.

similar tactics insofar as pro-Axis
business is concerned. There is a

ed the elementary laws of friendly good will and mutual helpfulness between nation and nation and race and race, because they deliber- ately set up barriers against their neighbors and tried to exploit every selfish advantage at the expense of their neighhors, this grat evil of the Second World War has come upon us.
 There are always some who choose the good part-although there are times when 1t seems aS if their number is pitifully small. There have always been in every age a few choice spirits who have put the supreme values, the spiritual val- ues first If you want an example from outside the Bible take the witt ness of Socrates. When he was on trial for his life and when Q few seemingly simple concessions would have saved his life he refused to promise to alter his way of life or his convictions. He said, 70 men of Athens, do indeed salute you and wish you all happiness but ! obey God rather than you. For I do nothing else but go about persuad- ing you, young and old, not to take thought for your bodies and for money but more diligently to con- slider the welfare of your souls for I say to you always that not from money proceedeth virtue, but from virtue proceed money and all good things that men cherish in public and in private" We applaud that teaching and we agree with Soc- rates but how many act regularly

"The conviction grows with me that life Is largely a matter of em- phasis," said Rev. Dr. John c. Wal ker, Second Congregational Church pastor, in his sermon, "Old London's Time -Encrusted Walls," yesterday morning.
 Dr. Walker said in part: You can call 1t choice, you can call 1t deci- sion If you like. Perhaps you prefer to speak in terms of values. But whatever the word of words you use the important thing Is that again and again in life we have to make up our minds what we want most, what are the things most precious. The people of London are undergo ing a tragic experience but they have learned great lesson, namely that the integrity of the individual soul Is of greater worth than the most precious of their great build- ing and stately monuments glori- ous as they arc. And nothing but they themselves can prove them false to the things which God has breathed into their souls, the love of freedom, truth and righteous ness.
 Shortly after the First World War Woodrow Wilson said, and don't let us discount Wilson because self seeking statesmen and short-sighted politicians betrayed the idealism by which he hoped to give the world a stable order.

CONTAINER FIRM
 SEEKS MANDAMUS
Company Wants $zO9,35O Assessment on Property
 Revised to $l49,35O

The Waterbury Corrugated Con. tainer Go, with land and property on Thomaston avenue, assessed at 9200, 0,360 by Waterbury tax commits sionerg, today asked superior court for q writ Of inandamuS ordering the tax commissioners to revise the assessment to comply with court order of Sept. 13, 1940, placing the assessment value at 3i40,3S0.
 The request iS made through States Attorney William B. Fitz- gerald for the company, against tax commissioners John Jenusaitis, Frederick W. PaIomba, Jan Kilduff, and Joseph II. Mcdinniss. Humbert E. Mangifli as tax collector for the city, was also named in the writ.
 According to the complaint, the board of tax commissioners placed an assessed valuation on the prop crty at 9200,3S0 as of the taxing date May 1, 1889. From this assesS- ment, the Corrugated company irl- Stituted c civil action against the city, and on Sept. 13, 1040, the Wa. terbury superior court ruled that the assessment be reduced by 400,- 600.
 On this basis the company paid it's tax bill and received receipt therefore, but on May 6, 194i, the tax collector again placed an as- sesed valuation Of $200,360 on the property, obviously in disregard of the courts revision of assessment.
 Stating that the company has no other recourse to law, the relator Corrugated Container Company asks the court to issue c writ of mandamus ordering the members of the tax commission to correct the error and issue proper tax bill, as determined by the court.
