LOOKING FORWARD

The ottitude Of American firms do
ing business in Central and South
America is obviously changing with
conditions.
Standard Oil Of New Jersey is q pio-
neer in publishing and furnishing to
stockholders stenoerophic report OF
the comPonys annual meeting, proc
tice which many other firms might we'll
odopt. In theturrent account Of such q
meeting, w. S. Forish, president. made
this significant statement:
The way to succeed, the way to keep
in business in ony country in South
America is to emphasize more in the
future than in the post that we belong
to the country. ;. In foreign coun-
Try, we become South Americans, and
as such we do business. We must be-
come q port Of the country in every
sense Of the word and the people in thot
country must be portners and the gov
eminent must have q more direct in
terest in the business than they had in
the post when we were doing business
from New York, and we we're Yankees
from the United Stotes."
We're learning. And there's hope for
him who learns.

The actor, greatly pleased but

As he spoke his murmured,

unseen by the camera, gradually
contorted into a disconcerting
grimace, went into a twitching

HOLLYWOOD There was
Deanna Durbin, looking so dog
goned beautiful that anybody
would have stared. And there
was Bob Cummings, staring.
The trouble was hat Mr..
Cummings was not gazing at
her with admiration. He was
looking intently into her left
eye. This served the double pur-
pose Of straining Miss Durbin's
composure allowing him to turn
his face a few more degrees to-
ward the camera.
It was one of the few scenes
in almost an Angel" that had
to be done seriously. Somewhere
upstairs, off the great hall in
which they were standing, old
Uncle Charles Laughton was
supposed to be dying. A couple
of cadaverous-looking gents in
black were sitting around wait
ing impatiently for an opportun-
ity to make a death mask Of the
great man.
Margaret Tallichet, fiancee OF
Nephew Cummings, had gone off
somewhere shopping for mourn
ing clothes, and that was just
the time that Laughton had de-
cided he wanted tosee her Cor
the first and last time. In the
emergency, Cummings had per-
suaded Miss Durbin, hat-check
girl with vocal ambitions and a
kind heart. to ease the uncle's
last moments by posing as the
absent fiancee.
SHE GETS THE EYE
This she had done. And now,
on her way out, Deanna was
receiving the low and earnest
thanks of Cummings, but the
way he peered only into her left
eye made her nervous 1t broke

WNENTHg REASONABLE
IS UNREASONABLE

When man owns property. the pre-
sumption is that he need port with it
only on terms which he believes reason
obIe in view Of his own needs and the
inducement offered.
The greet resources OF the worlds
natural wealth ore perhoPs not quite on
so simple bosis Any reasonable per-
son would oeree thot il is wrong for any
people to sit on indispensable quonti-
ties of the worlds resources and to deny
them to other peoples. One Of the
worlds needs is some means Of better
distributing and making ovoiIobIe the
raw materials Of the world.
The pitifuI port of it is thot the basis
for such reasonable solution hos
been destroyed, and destroyed by the
very people who stand to profit most
by such solution. Jopon's "demonds"
on the Dutch Eost Indies for share in
the exploitation Of the riches Of that re-
aion ore quite reasonable on their
face. They want to provide entry Of
japanese into the islands for CONNER
cioI work, entry Of japanese ships to
East Indies ports, coostwise navigation
privileges, fishing privileges, and the
like. Entirely reasonable, but
Unfortunately, over the post 10
years Japan has destroyed the reputo-
ton Of her people as willing to confine
themselves to these legitimate and req
sonobIe detectives. Does not the world
know what japanese business men do
in q strange country beside business?
Does it not know what japanese ships
and fishing vessels do in strange waters
beside fish?
Is anyone ignorant Of what citizens
Of Hitler Germany do in foreign lands
beside what the rest of the world con-
siders legitimate business? When every
drummer, every fisherman, every con-
sui, every traveller, is an agent for in
ternotionoI revolution, for govern
ment spying, for domestic intrigue and
the sowing Of dissension, then business
is no longer business.

the first alternative obviously is impractical. What is needed, is not less but more guns, planes, tanks and other equipment faster than they have been produced so far. The only way this can be at- tained is by a greater farming out of defense work. And experience has graphically shown this is pos- sible only at much heavier cost than was anticipated.
 OPM estimated this additional outlay at Is percent and provision was made for it in the last $1,- 723,00O ordnance appropriation passed by Congress. But it is now clear that this fund, big as it is, actually will be far out of line with what is needed.
 Farming out defense orders is vitally necessary to save little business and to get the volume of armaments needed, but it's going to run into mighty big money.
 NOTE-Said one top Army ord- nance expert, This is the price we must pay for our traditional habit of unpreparedness- not even having war industry of the size of even some of the smallest countries in Europe.
