South American buIonce

the first South American nation 50
to do, is bound to have profound
repercussions throughout that con-
tinent, hitherto exempt from actual
hostilities. But just what the roper
cussions will be on the nine other in
dependent republics OF South Amer
lea depend on a complex set of
factors which varies with each par
ticular case. We in the United
States are apt to lump South America
together in vague sort Of way. As
a matter of fact, that continent
exhibits definite political pattern
and a distinct balance of power.
Intercontinental diplomatic relations
strongly influence the foreign policy
OF each republic. Those factors must
be borne in mind when evaluating
the attitudes of South American ma
tions toward the outer world.
A good example Of this is the d.
verse reactions of Brazil and Ar
gentina toward the World War. These
two countries, the most powerful in
South America, are traditional rivals
for the leadership of the continent,
and that rivalry Is accentuated by
the fact that, while Argentina is
Spanish In language and culture,
Brazil Is Portuguese in origin and
afnliation. 1t is political truism
that rivals tend to take different
sides on any debatable issue. For
instance, Brazil has an historic
friendship with the United States.
That fact alone has inclined Argen-
tina to be less cordial toward "the
Colossus of the North" though the
contrasted attitudes of the two
countries in this respect has been
also motivated by economic consid-
erations.
Much the same is true OF Chile and
Peru, who are the traditional rivals
for leadership on the west coast OF
South America. Peru has always
looked toward the United States,
while Chile has been less receptive in
this respect. This diplomatic diverg-
ence has lessened, however, since the
bitter legacy arising from the war
fought between them half q century
ago was amicably liquidated in recent
years. largely owing to the friendly
offices Of Washington diplomacy.
The northernmost nations OF the
South American continent, Colombia
and Venezuela, stand somewhat
apart from the general diplomatic
pattern and naturally gravitate
economically toward the United
States. Fortunately there is no his
toric antagonism between those two
close neighbors, and Colombian i'll
feeling toward us, arising out Of the
Panama episode, has long been
amicably adjusted. Furthermore,
Colombia and Venezuela do not share
the latent apprehensions that other
South American countries feel to-
ward Brazil, the continental giant
which so outweighs them in size and
population.
These are some Of the underlying
factors In the South American po-
litico-diplomatic setup which may
usefully be borne in mind when
estimating how the foreign policies
Of the ten republics Of that continent
will be affected by Brazil's entry into
the war.

Complains About Hardships
OF Stenographers in Federal Service.
To the Editor of The Star:
Several Of the war agencies have issued
urgent calls for typists and stenogra-
pliers. There is no doubt Of the need
and there Is equally no doubt that failure
to recognize causes OF the difficulty are
the reasons why difficulty in recruiting
such help is the universal experience
among war agencies.
Recruiting Of stenographic help still
Is being done upon exactly the same
basis as it has been done for at least 20
years. Girls are offered the same sala-
ries offered in the depression era, They
are expected to meet all rising costs
under the same conditions Of pay and
work.
Two girls in my section already have
quit and gone home because they cannot
make ends meet under conditions in
Washington. There are six more with
whom I am acquainted who are going
nome for the same reasons.
Among those permanently located in
washington and with more than one
year OF Government experience there is
determined and constant effort to lift
themselves out of the stenographic clas-
sincation. The clerical classification is
AZ least not a dead-end street In spite
OF the fact that women clerical workers
nnd advancement extremely dificult. A
stenographer in Government empIov Il
always stenographer. and both the best
ana the poorest among them get either
$l,440 or $500. The difference existing
between really good stenographer and
q very poor one is tremendous, but no
incentive IL given to be good one. Who
Il 70 blame If good stenographer de-
cides that stenography Is the last classi-
ncation she wants attached to her name?
Until some attention is given and relief
granted not only In wages, but In oppor-
tunities for women In the stenographic
feld-war or no war-the war agencies
will call for help In vain and find It
necessary to put up with makeshift per-

Rooms for Rent

Considering the experience Of the
Defense Housing Registry in listing
available rooms and placing war
workers, the Works Projects Admin
eistration's estimate Of $4,000 vacant
= rooms in the Washington Metropoli-
9otan Area does not seem excessive.
Whether these $4,000 rooms or a
majority OF them would be made
available to renters, of course, is an
other question. The survey merely
listed vacant bedrooms.
In the last month-between July
goth and August 20th-about 10000
rooms were listed for rent with the
i Defense Housing Registry. OF these,
about 1900 were on the registry July
,s20th and $685. were added during the
next thirty days. About 5000 rooms
were removed from the registry In
the same period, leaving available
Y some 1900 rooms on August goth.
= The surprising thing about this, in
! view Of the crowded condition of the
city, Is that the listing OF 5000 or so
new rooms between July 2Oth and Au-
gust 20th, Is about normal. In other
words, for many months past new
:. rooms have been coming on the reg
!. .istry at about that rate every thirty
days.
i The Housing Registry, started origi-
Fnally by citizens Of Washington as a
voluntary enterprise, has done re-
markable Job in placing Government
workers In rooms. But the survey
by the Works Progress Administra-
ton indicates that there are many
thousands Of additional rooms which
would be made available II some
systematic effort were made to per-
suade homeowners to accept roomers
for the duration Of the emergency,
and II that appeal were presented as
one way to help the war effort.
Few such appeals have been made.
And the failure in Congress to amend
the Rent Act undoubtedly has de-
Tterred homeowners from putting
vacant rooms On the market. The
House approved the amendment, but
It Is still awaiting action In the Sen
ate District Committee.
As the House report pointed out,
private homeowners In Washington
!. with available rooms fall into two
classes: Those who take in roomers
to supplement their incomes and
those who have never rented rooms
rAnd have no desire to open their
Il homes to strangers. The first group
has made and continues to make
q rentable rooms available. The sec
ond group Is hesitant to begin with,
and with recollection Of incidents in
the last war does not want to run the
risk Of becoming involved In court
action to get rid OF tenant who
turns out to be undesirable. Amend
: ment OF the Rent Act would enable
'ma homeowner to rent rooms to as
many as four persons without being
forced to take court action to termi-
nate the tenancy of an undesirable
roomer. Other provisions Of the
Rent Act, including rent ceilings and
services, still would apply.
In view of the continuing demand
for rooms in Washington, it would
seem desirable for the Senate to
i complete action on the amendment
, and, If those who have studied the
situation are correct, many addi-
tional and desirable rooms would be
made available.

comely swimming star, today
had one more national record to
add to her long list of new
marks, the only one established
in the 1912 Women's National
AAU three day swimming meet.
Sharing honors with the
young New York back stroke
specialist was Betty Bemis of the
Riviera Club of Indianapolis
who won two events and finish
ed second in a third to amass l3
of her teams SO points and win
individual high point honors.
Her teams successfully defended
its title without serious threat
piling up a total of SO points, 20
more than the runner-up team.
Miss Callen, a member of the
Women's Swimming Association
of New York, set the new rec
ord while swimming the 100
meter first lap of the 800 meter
medley relay, negotiating the
distance in 1:171. four-tenths
of a second under her old mark.
Although she gave her team
record start, the event was won
by the Multnomah Club of Port
land, Ore.
Miss Bemis won her second in
dividual title of the meet last
night by defeating champion
Nancy Merki of Multnomah in
the 500 meter free style race and
was second in the 800 meter in
medley.
