Argentine, Swedish Boom in
Trade May be Helping Axis

/ fighting fronts, according to Allied
diplomatic quarters here.
Fantastic figures rejecting the
phenomenal growth of trade be-
tween Argentina and Sweden have
aroused suspicion in Allied quart
ers causing an investigation to de-
termine whether a leak has been
sprung in the Allied blockade
through which Argentine products
are flowing TO support the Axis war
effort.
During the first eight months of
this year, Argentine exports 10
Sweden We're 1000 per cent greater
in value than for the same period
last year. Imports from Sweden
rose approximately 500 per cent.
Swedish trading circles here ex-
planned that the sensational gains
are merely the consequence Of
shrinking and disappearing mark
cts elsewhere throughout the world
Following the Rio de Janeiro con
ference last January, Germany re-
fused to issue navicerts to ships
sailing from Sweden to American
nations which had broken diplo-
matte relations with the Axis, leav-
ing Argentina and Chile the only
eligible countries. Spread of war
to the Orient already had cut of
Sweden from the greatest neu-
trail trade area outside the Western
Hemisphere.
Use Full Ship Quota
Only five Swedish ships per
month are allowed to sail from
home ports through the British and
German blockades. At present,
these are all coming to Argentina,
whose ports are nearer than those
of Chile and whose economy COM
plements Sweden's to a certain ex-
tent. Sweden needs the grains,
woods, oils and meat products Of
Argentina, which in turn lacks the
newsprint, iron and steel products
which Sweden can furnish.
While United Nations represen-
tatives admit the logic of the Swed-
ish argument, they point out that
the increase OF Swedish imports
from Argentina is considerably
greater than the proportion OF ex
ports. Also. they ask why some
Swedish ships lately have been ar
irving here in ballast but leaving
heavily laden with Argentine pro
ducts.
Investigation has revealed that
Sweden this year has received at
least $4,000 tons OF Argentine
wheat. $4,000 tons OF corn, 5000 OF
linseed, and large quantities oi
casein, hides, wool, cotton and
canned meat.
we have few or no means OF
checking what happens to these
goods after reaching private hands

Joe Louis risks his boxing crown
tonight and gives his purse to the

much commentator for Joe in
his gesture from the daily sports
scribes but what they do not tell
their readers is that Joe's people,
the millions of Negroes, do not APP
prove of Louis risking his crown
for the Navy. Any Negro over 10
years old will tell you why. We
hope Joe has good luck, but it
would be ironic if he lost his title
fighting for the Navy Relief fund.
Negroes with mechanical skills
should make every, effort to obtain
defense employment in the various
plants. A man with skill is vast

International Harvester, out in
the Midway district, has a Negro
graduate from the Dunwoody
School working as a janitor! This

cheats both it's production efforts
and the man for reasons which are
obvious to most.
While this man sweeps out the
plant hundreds of men and women
less qualified than he are learn

Men without skills will be the
