HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, APRIL S

Benefic aspects dominate to-
day, although i'm the early hours
adverse influences are active.
There is a sign read as presag-
ing for heads of big business
perplexities to which labor
unions contribute.
Heart and Home: This is an
suspicious sway under which to
face conditions in changing
world and to prepare for future
exigencies affecting the whole
family. Strict economies are
strongly recommended. because
savings accounts will be most
important in the future. Good
news Is indicated today, which
is fortunate for the signing of
contracts or for business with
banks. The stars encourage
women to prepare for service in
certain branches of aviation.
Business affairs: This is
most promising day for mer-
chants. Trade in new lines of
manufacture should be lively.
Through this period of pros
perity chemists and inventors
will contribute greatly to the
economic development of the
United States. This is a prom
ising date for launching new
projects or for expanding we'll
established enterprises.
National Issues: The con-
seriousness that the United States
cannot escape the most active
part in the world war will be
widespread. Surprising events
will unite the people for a stub
born and efficient defense. There
70 a sign read as presaging
naval engagement and there will
be an incident in which our air
planes en- route to Canada are
involved. This month is to mark
q page in history unlike any
previously recorded.
International Affairs: Seismic
disturbances as well as frightful
conflict may be expected by the
end OF the month. Discomfort
will spread among the peoples
under Nazi rule and revolution
AIRY uprisings may be expected
before next autumn. Britain is
TO sustain an attempted invasion
that is under the most evil por-
tents for England's brave de-
lenders. Ultimate victory is in
Dictated, but there are to be su-
preme tests Of heroism.
Persons whose birthdste il is
have the augury of a year of
good fortune and definite prog
ress. There viii be romance and
marriage for women OF this sign.
Children born on this day
should be extremely fortunate.
Fame will come to many, for the
intellectual faculties will be Of a
high order and the character
stable.

Fomed Statue Of Andes
Is Symbol of Good Will

pRoOF that International dis
putes can be settled perma-
nently without war Is found IN
the famous Christ OF the Andes
statue. pictured on the Pan Amer
lean Unions Know the Amer
icas poster stamp above. The
statue Is also pictured on Argen-
tuna S Eucharistic Congress issue
of 1884.
For p years, from 1881 to 1902,
Argentina and Chile argued over
their common Andean frontier.
Efforts 10 settle the dispute by di-
rect negotiation failed. National
spirit mounted in both nations,
war threatened. Finally the north
ern boundary was settled by an
international commission and the
southern frontier decided by arbi-
iration Of the British government.
People Of both countries joined
IN the erection of the bronze statue
on the international boundary, :
l4,Ao0 feet above sea level. The
monument was dedicated March
l3. 1904.
Argentina and Chile gave addi-
tonsl proof Of friendship imne-
olstely after the settlement Of the
boundary dispute by negotiating
on May 2s. 1902. the first known
agreement for limitation OF arns-
mentS

Such termination of formal
relations with Germany. Italy
and Japan would amount to no
more than acknowledging exist
ing facts. State department
. ment lawyers have advised the
president and Secretary Hull
that, in tying this nation so
closely to Britain, the u. s. has
challenged and taken on the lat
ter's enemies.
Washington has promised adj
ditional aid to China, both finan-
cial and military, in Chang Kali
Shek's war with Japan. We
have welcomed Jugoslavia into
the democratic fold. and expect
her soon to pit her army against
both Italy's and Germany's.
Therefore. reason FDR's advis-
ers, why not take the next and
final step, even though 1t may
precipitate this country into a
state OF war?
II is doubtful whether any &C
ton along this line will be taken
until Japan's Foreign Minister
Matsuoka has returned to Tokyo.
He may bring such unhappy
udings from Moscow and Berlin
that Japan may decide TO pipe
down. The British have staged
n pretty floor show during his
presence in Berlin. what with
the Jugoslavian revolt and the
major attack on the Italian fleet
in the Mediterranean.
II Matsuoka should turn
thumbs down on der fuehrer, Joe
Stain and Benito. there would
be no point in branding the lit
tie brown brothers" as internal
tional outlaws. The 'democra-
cies" need all the help they can
get-active and passive.
A careful canvass Of alien reg
istration figures convinces de-
partment of justice officials that
many thousands have escaped
the official dragnet. Out of a
total population OF approximate
~ 100000. 900. less than 5,O0O,-
900 signed up as unnaturalized
Americans.
The reason SO many avoided
registration is obvious. II is a
pertinent commentary on demo-
cratic processes OF government.
Registration of aliens was pro-
posed formally in early April,
1910, although il had been sug-
gested Immediately after the
German invasion OF Poland in
September Of 1889. Because of
the advance chatter. thousands
OF foreigners who already had
their first papers rushed into
naturalization courts. They be-
came Americans almost over
night, and did not have TO regis
ter. Nobody in authority clas-
sites all these people as poten-
ual saooteurs or fifth columnists.
but there is some degree Of Off
cial concern over their status
and intentions.
Two kinds of people did not
register. according 10 = final and
official check. The first and in
nocent group consisted Of folks
who never understood the laws

requirements. The second class,
not so innocent, included men
and women for whom the police
are seeking. and who therefore
had reason not to show them
selves-or record their finger
prints.
The Roosevelt administration
has arranged to convoy war-sup-
ply ships to Britain and to other
"embattled democracies. The
decision stems from the presi-
dents declaration that getting
the weapons to the battle lines
of our friends is quite as inn
portant az producing them in
the first place. He made that
assertion in his speech to the
White House Correspondents as
sociation.
But FDR's promise to Prime
Minister Churchill has an ex-
tremely interesting and signifi-
cant corollary. Inasmuch as the
president has agreed to under
write the preservation of Great
Britain-with a minimum expen-
diture of seven billion dollars in
the process-he believes that he
should have some say about the
methods of salvation. So we are
going to change the whole con-
vey system. The new way of
getting our war stuff to Britain.
China, Greece and Jugoslavia is
now being worked out by our
naval experts.
1t means a definite departure
from the World war system and
the plan which the British have
used in the present conflict up
to now. Every AEF doughboy
remembers how his fleets speed
was reduced because of few
laggard ships in the convoy
from Halifax or Boston or New
York. Under F.D.R.'s new plan
ships carrying war gifts 10
Britain will sail singly, fast or
slow. The sea lanes will be
policed by American and Brit
ish warships.
