HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline <, but do not comspeW
THURSDAY, MARCH r2

Beneficr aspects dominate today which is promising to men in au- thority. Statesmen and war lead CTS should benefit. Employers are under configuration fortunate for relations with labor.
 HEART AND HOME: Letters bearing good news may be numer- ous under this configuration which stimulates confidence and encour- ages mental poise. Women will be interested in distinctly practical things, including household iril- proverhents. Shopping should be fairly successful and fashion shows popular. Gay Spring costumes win be in demand as pleasant con- trasts to the uniforms worn by many women. The feminine note will be emphasized in home decor ations as well as in clothing. Col or will have a special significance.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Finan- ciers who watch the necessary changes in monetary systems will be interested in pOst-war econom- ics and important conferences will disclose qualifications of the na- tional debt which will inspire futile warnings to the public Trade and commerce will be active all through the month. Heavy losses through sabotage are forecast. A serious calamity affecting key industrial plants Is prognosticated for a date not far distant-probably in May.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: In con- trast to World War I when many women were prominent in news paper accounts of war work, little mention of distinguished women will be made this first year of World War II. Great achievements are foretold, however, for the moth CTS, wives and sisters of the men fighting for freedom. Demand for equal rights as citizens will be tard- fly needed by Congress which will remove present handicaps and en- able splendid achievement in the rebuilding of civilization. Through the period of conflict brilliant ser vice will be rendered by well-or- ga1iized groups.
 INTERNATIONAL !, A F'F'AIRS Australia will be much in the head lines in coming weeks The stars presage titanic conflict for the splendid fighters who will continue to play prominent part in the terrible war. The stars show that the severest tests for civilians as well as men in uniform are to be expected, but the Allies will accord to them high praise for their part in the final victory. Neptuhe's po- sition in the second house indicates financial difficulties.
 Persons whose birthdate 1t is have the augury of a year of substan- tial progress in nancy plans as well as in public service. Soldiers, sailors and airfnen should be for tunate.
 Children born on this day prob ably win be successful in life They should have magnetism which as- stires friendly help in professional or business ambitions.

 This latter possibility is why corn belt senators are especially inter ested. For years the big alcohol companies have imported molasses and cane sugar derivaties for their alcohol. Corn never has been able to get a permanent peacetime foot hold. y te.s Even today, with whiskey distiilers gradually becoming idle in the mid dle west, Moffat was very cold to the idea of using them to relieve the alcohol shortage.

 War Production Board officials replied that the shortage was very serious.
 A few hours later Senator Clyde Herring of Iowa phoned to Fraser M. Moffat, Jr., Chief of the Alcohols Unit of the War Production Board, and asked him why. with an acute shortage of alcohol, he, Moffat, had vetoed a government loan to the Gulf Distilling Company of New Or lean, which was ready to improve it's plant and turn out l90 proof alcohol. We don't need the alcohol,'' was Moffat's amazing reply. Further more, you wouldn't want us to use government funds to establish con- petitors for existing facilities?"
 CORN BELT vS. BIG BUSINESS As a result of this and several other similar conversations, midwest senators are now accusing Moffat of being more interested in mot establishing competitors for existing facilities than he is in relieving the serious war shortage of alcohol. Senators Herring and Gillette of Iowa and George Norris of Nebraska all are raging over this situation and Norris has written a vehement protest direct to Donald Nelson. Senator Norris pointed out that Moffat is Vice-President of U. s. Industrial Alcohol, one of the big gest alcohol companies in the U. s. A. Therefore, Norris claims, Moi fat has direct interest in alcohol competition and should not be al- lowed to pass on" the building up of wartime plants which would com pete with U. s.

MY Dear Mr. hearst:
wv YORLD WAR ii differs
" from its predecessor a
quarter of century
earlier in one way In that now
eighteen of the twenty Latin
American states have declared
war on or broken of diplomatic
relations with Germany or her
allies or both. while in the earlier
war only eight states declared
war and FIVE others broke off re-
latiOns.
IL is quite likely that Chile at
an early date will sever rela-
tons, while the only remaining
Latin American state, argentina,
may we'll do so sooner or later.
These Latin American develop
meDts have come a. the result of
far more collective thought and
joint action than has ever before
characterized the affairs of the
hemisphere,
IL seems entirely possible, then.
that a. a result of this happy
habit of thinking in terms of
common interests We may see the
majority at least of the new
world states gravitating into a
sort of common front during and
after the peace conference.
The Latin American states can
not but gain in dignity and self
assurance as consequence of the
new weight they register In the
international scales.
This may in some cases mean
an exaggerated natiOnailsm. hut
We must remember that the
United States at the same time In
its development was brashly ma
tionalistic.
The United states government.
ny Its very intelligent attitude and
policy Of the past decade, has done
much 10 cushion the Irritation
which might result from manifes-
tatlons Of such ma extreme ma
tiOnalIsm In Latin America.
4 Latin American bloc. pre-
sumably cooperating with the
United states on terms OF mutual
respect, must have great influence
In international affairs and world
politics.
This is factor which the
peOple@of the United states should
by all means be prepared TO take
into account.
II may not be too much to cN-
pect that some sort OF an inter
American association. of nations,
more closely knit than the present
Pan-American Union. will come
out OF the travail Of the present
war.
The speeding of work on the
Pan-American highway il only

constantly binding the twenty-One
