HERE'S HOW 1T WORKS


To show how the new blacklist
regulations operate. take the ex-
ample Of a firm which has for
many years been selling its goods
to South America through a Ger
man company now on the black
list. Finding that it can no longer
do business with its old agent, the
U. S. firm is Immediately con-
fronted with the problem of finding
a new outlet.
If the U. S. firm is small and
cannot afford the expense of send
ing an executive to South America
to investigate and sign up a new
agent, it can get assistance through
the commercial intelligence office
in the Bureau Of Foreign and Do
meStic Commerce, u. S. Department
of Commerce. This office has COM
piled list of hundreds of thous-
ands of firms all over the world.
These firms are rated, in a kind
of international Dun and Brad
street listing, and their credit, rep
utation and general business rating
are appraised, as well as the types
of products which they handle and
their other connections are cata-
logged. 1t is from this master index
that American business men can
get leads on new connections.
U. S. consular agents in the for
eign service of the Department of
State are equipped to carry through
further in establishing new con-
facts and agencies for American
exporters. In general, all the field
work in the other American re-
publics will be handled by the con-
sular service.

commercialized it might well be
abused. Certainly draft boards
can't be giving out addresses OF
draftee's relatives without careful
investigation.
Nevertheless, handled as Gage
has done it, in a completely disin-
terested manner and with no desire
but to help and serve the draftees
and their relatives, great deal
of good has undoubtedly been &C.
complshed in this case.
It's good to see such a renewed
proof of the fact that the Amerd
can is a self-starter who sees apo
knows what needs to be done, ana
does it without waiting to be told.

ON BLESSING AMERICA
(Salt Lake Tribune)

God Bless America.
Not with the narrow partisan blessing
of a dominant political party. Not with
an "if and or" blessing of labor watch
ing with suspicious eye for social in
equalities.
Not with the blessing of the Industrial
ist hoping for swelling profits.
Not with the tremulous blessing of a
timorous minority fearing war, fearing
Hitler's legions, fearing fear. Not with
the blessing which cloaks hatred of other
Americans.
Bless America, oh Cod with courage
to look the whole world in the eye, with
unity to forget petty quarrels, with clear
ness of vision to see through the wileS
Of the enemy within ourselves, with un-
selfishness and tolerance, and, most of
all, with the will to see this thing through
until peace again returns to this troubled
earth.

ALL WON'T BE CONFUSION

The new blacklist simplifies that
rigamarole tremendously and il
lifts a lot of bothersome restric-
tions which had been interfering
with the much-desireG wartime ex-
pansion of inter- American trade.
Trade with Latin America is now
entirely unrestricted except for the
1900 firms on the blacklist and for
those few essential defense items
on which there is U. s. export
control. 1t no longer makes any
difference whether a firm in Latin
America is controlled by Spaniards
or Portuguese-Or even Dutchmen
or Frenchmen. If their names are
not on the blacklist, it's okay to
go ahead and do business with
them.
To legalize this trade, Treasury
has issued general license per-
mitting all such transactions with
out the previously required specific
license. This license applies to ey-
erything except purely financial
transactions, such as transfer of
funds. The purpose of this remain
ing restriction is TO keep a check
on forfjgr exchange transactions
and prevent a leak of foreign ma
tionals' assets back 10 Europe.
Under certain conditions, trade
may even be permitted with firms
on the blacklist, but only under
temporary license. Transactions not
yet completed, contracts which have
only a short time to run, and
emergency transactions may be Civ
en- license for limited operations.
In general, the lid is to be kept on
tight and trade prohibited with
any firm on the list, though the
list itself can oe changed by ad-
ditions OF removals.

HOW FAR AWAY
is CENSORSHIP?

Censorship is not an alarmist's night
mare in this country. In a limited degree,
it is with us already. There are many who
would like to see it established immed-
lately in a greater degree What we have
now is voluntary censorship. Defense Of
ficials label information they believe is
confidential, and for the most part it is
not published Such a system is safe, if
it goes no farther, because it does not
give the officials arbitrary power.
Even such a system develops its silly
streaks. The other day for instance,
Chairman James L. Fly Of the Defense
Communications Board suggested to re-
porters and radio men in Washington
that he thought news accounts should
stop using the phrase "Stalin Line" be-
cause it might make the public overcon-
fident of a Russian victory. Silly? Of
course. Yet Mr. Fly said Undersecre-
tary Of State Summer Welles agreed in
his belief
The biggest reason for censorship is
to cover up the blunders of our own exec
utives. That is why so many Of them
want censorship. Do you?

The Inside Track in Washinqton

WASHINGTON. July 26-One of
the most important angles of Pres
ident Roosevelt's announcement Of
the Latin American trade blacklist.
generally overlooked in the hula
baloo over its sweeping, restrictive
and negative provisions, is freeing
hemisphere trade by relaxing the
controls pre- viously existing on U. S.
commerce with Central and South
American republic
1t is an intricate and long story,
and many details oi its administra-
ton have not yet been clarified
in Washington. In general however.
by listing specifically the 1900
blocked nationals with whom U. S.
firms can no longer do business,
the way is cleared for U. S. ex-
porters and importers to trade with
all other firms, numbering many
times more than tac firms now on
the blacklist.
Heretofore, there has been con-
siderable confusion about what Lat
in American firms U. S. nationals
could trade with. There was, for
instance, the general treasury or.
der freezing trade with all countries
Of continental Europe and their
nationals all over the world. That
order was aimed primarily at Ger
mans and Italians, but it applied
also to Spaniards and Portuguese
nationals, even though they were
doing business in the Argentine or
Brazil. What American exporters
were up against was an intricate
job of research, determining whether
their agents in Latin America had
any Spanish or Portuguese or Italian
or German blood in them. If so,
trade with them was not permitted
except under special license.
