IT TAKES very little pro-

There and Here
The most obvious South
American influence you are all
familiar with by now. In New
York, il centers around the IA

Argentine dances lure the cream
of society, and the beauteouS
Juanita Juarez holds forth in
gown of gold cloth with a full
dancing skirt of gold lace
ruffles.
Here in Detroit. you will see
this influence in the numerous
dresses made with black taffeta
or jersey long-sleeved bodices
and skirts of pink and black
lace ruffles, or net. This is the
trend otfr dancing society Is SET
ting, and a very charming one,
we think.
In the daytime picture there
are many other manifestations
of the South American and
Mexican influences. Full, gath

be popular and good) Green

Bolero Returns
Black frocks have boleros in

blems galore, and now we see
that the new travel suits in
beige wool have slanting hip
pockets iavishiy embroidered in
peasant colored chain stitch to
look like braid.
In the same category we
might mention all the trimmings
and accessories that are done in
ric-rac. and ric-rac. especially
in white, usually makes a smart
bit of adornment. The braid
trimming, however. should be
viewed as an innovation, and
not taken as a predominating
trend.
Tsffets Petticoafs
One of the feminine aspects
of Spring clothes takes shape in
the increased number of taffeta
petticoats in contrasting colors.
The idea is by no means new,
but it naturally follows with the
revival of peplums, frills and
bonnetS.

President Predicts
America Will Escape
'Europe's Order
Tells Duchess Educators
He Hopes Soon to Return

By JOHN c. HENRY,
Star Staff Correspondent.

HYDE PARK N. Y. Nov. s.
America will not be subjected to the
new order" which the dictators are
attempting to impose upon Europe
and the world today, President
Roosevelt predicted confidently to a
meeting of Dutchess County educa-
tors in the Roosevelt High School
here this afternoon.
Speaking extemporaneously. the
Chief Executive devoted most OF
half hour address to emphasizing
his ideas and hopes for further
"streamlining" in practical direc-
tions of the American educational
system, but several times he high
lighted his speech by references to
the troubled world conditions and
the contrast between democracy and
totalitarianism.
It was during reference to this
contrast that he expressed his con-
fidence of survival of the American
way.
Il don't think We are ever coming
to this new order in this country, y
he said. "and I hope very much
that the rest of the world will not
be forced into it. Because If they
should be this country of ours would
become an oasis pressed in from all
sides"
Takes a Long Time.
Recalling that there had been
many years of discussion in Hyde
Park before the decision was made
to establish a consolidated town
school system, Mr. Roosevelt ac-
knowledged then that things in a
democracy to take long time" but
he added that he believed this to
be better condition than the form
Of society where a dictator can
say you've got to do this"
Americans. he went on, are proud
Of the Democratic system which is
now being challenged by those hold
ing the new order" view point
And If educational practices keep
up with the pace of today's fast
changing demands and thereby help
in assuring survival Of this system,
succeeding generations will be in
debted to those who are presently
being farsighted
At the same time, Mr.. Roosevelt
seriously raised the question OF
whether education is matching that
pace. To that end, he proposed that
the schools take children out into
their communities for a first hand
inspection of how the courts oper-
ate, how businesses are run, and
how all the other things which are

of the American freighter Robin
Moor. the State Department dis
closed today.
The department made public en-
exchange of notes with Hans Thom-
sen, Charge d'Affaires of the Ger
man Embassy here, in which he
declared that this Governments
communications ARE not such as to
lead to an appropriate reply" by the
German government
Mr.. Thomson declined even to
transmit to Berlin an official copy
of President Roosevelt's message to
Congress on the Robin Moor Incl
dent.
He did. however. send his govern
ment a note by Secretary of State
Hull on September 10 Offering to
accept a lump sum of s2967 ,092 in
full settlement of the Robin Moor
damages if it was paid within 80
days.
No Reply to Be Made.
Mr.. Thomsen's last communica-
ton, dated September 26. merely
stated that mo appropriate reply
would be made
The Robin Moor. first American
flag ship to be sunk by German
submarine in the present war. was
sent to the bottom of the South
Atlantic last Nav 81 while carrying
a non military cargo TO South Afri-
ca. The crew members and pas
sengers spent weeks at sea in open
lifeboats before finally being res
cued by Brazilian and British ships.
In a special message TO Congress
on June 20, President Roosevelt
| pointed out that the vessel was sunk
without any provision for the safety
of the passengers and crew as re-
Quired by international law and
branded the sinking as the act Of
an international outlaw"
Mr.. Roosevelt declared in his mes
sage that the United States holds
Germany responsible for the out
rageous and indefensible sinking OF
the Robin Moor" and that full
reparation for the losses and dam
ages suffered by American nationals
will be expected from the German
| government"
Message Handed to Embassy.
A copy of the Presidents mes
sage was sent by the State Depart
ment on the same day to the Ger
man Embassy with the request that
it be transmitted to the German
government for its information
Four days later Mr. Thomson
wrote Undersecretary of State Wells,
Il do not find myself in a position
to pass on the Presidents mes
sage to his government.
