details Of the agreement which has
been reached" Mr.. Welles conceded,
"but the objectives which all of us
had in mind have been completely
attained and what is everlastingly
important, the complete unity and
solidarity of the 81 American re-
publics has been preserved"
Referring to economic resolutions
adopted by the conference, Mr..
Welles said they had reached a de-
gree of Importance and immediacy
not attained by previous confer
ences.
Other Action to Follow.
Measures will follow, he asserted,
to alleviate any injuries to the
economies of the American repub-
lies as a result of their anti-Axis
decision here.
Machinery will be set up in each
country, he said, to determine i'm
port requirements and that export
quotas would be fixed wherever
possible.
"All these measures will tie in
closely with the priority and allo-
cations procedures already estab-
lished in the United States" Mr..
Welles explained.
1t was announced the conference
would end Wednesday instead of
Tuesday as previously planned.
The conference political commit
tee deferred action today on the
question of adherence to the Allan
tic charter after the Argentine,
Chilean, Bolivian and Brazilian
delegations objected. chiefly on the
ground that it was a declaration Of
two countries not including the
Latin Americas.
Mr.. Welles spoke in behalf Of
adherence but did not object to
the postponement.
Conference leaders sought swift
approval of companion agreement
severing all financial, commercial
and economic relations with the
Axis.
Argentina appeared angling for
some reservations in the sweeping
economic measure but leaders pre-
dicted its adoption unchanged.
Mutual Assistance.
The proposal, approved by the
economic committee, provides for
reciprocal assistance of the repub-
lies to relieve any burden thrust
on them as a result of the COM
mercial and economic ruptures.
The resolution provided "addi-
tional measures which shall be nee
essary to stop, during the present
continental emergency, all COM
mercial and financial interchange,
direct or indirect, between the
Western Hemisphere and nations
which are signatory to the tripartite
pact and territories dominated by
them" A conference, possibly in
Washington, would be held to de-
termine a uniform procedure.
The economic committee also for
mally recommended a gold stabil-
ization fund and meeting Of ex-
perts to discuss means for putting
it into effect.
Brazils foreign minister Oswaldo
Aranha, who is chairman of the
conference, made public letters from
Germany. Japan and Italy express
ing the hope that Brazil would not
sever relations. He also read his
reply which said Brazil had main
tanned strict neutrality until an
American country had been at
tackled, after which Brazil followed
the point of view of the Americas"
He said Brazil signed the rupture
resolution because it intended to
faithfully carry it out"
The Axis letters argued that
Brazil had no interests or stakes
in the war and insinuated, without
saying so outright, that a rupture
in relations would be followed by
war.

Railroads Lead
In Contribution
Of Scrap Metal

WASHINGTON. Sept. Is (UP).
American railroads are collect
in their old rails and obsolete
equipment to get it into the scrap
with the Axis.
Officials of the association of
American railroads said today that
approximately 100000 tons of
scrap would be salvaged this year
approximately the same as dur
ing 1941.
They said the railroads achieve
Iment this year was outstanding
because the lines, being allotted
little critical materials for new
equipment, were trying to keep in
Operation cars, engines and rails
which normally would be replaced
by new models.
MANY LIVES ENDANGERED
This, however, has been over
come by the increasing abandon
ments of improbable lines author
lied by state public utilities
agencies and the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
For example, ice records show
that already this year approx
mately as many miles of lines have
been approved for abandonment
as were sanctioned during all of
1941. On August Is, more than
100 abandonments involving 1,500
miles had been approved by the
ice.
Railroad men said abandoned
rails and secondhand equipment
might be even more useful 10 the
war effort If they were used by
the army, navy, war agencies o.
exported under lend-lease. Engines
and cars going TO such uses do
not take the labor which new
equipment would require. thus
leaving the workers free for other
war activities.
BIG SOURCE OF SCRAP
Scrap collections by the rail-
roads are of vital Importance in
the current salvage campaign be-
cause they traditionally have been
the largest contributors of scrap
metal except for the home scrap"
created by the iron and steel mills
themselves while converting in
gots into finished or Semifinished
products.
The following figures show the
tonnage contributed in scrap by
the railroads during recent years:
1899, $500, 900 tons; 1910, a.
zoo. 900; 1941. 4,500, 900; 1912 esti-
mated, 1850, 900.

ONLY NEED ENOUGH MEN

All that is left before the cam
paigns opens tomorrow morning is
to assure enough men to aid in
the collection.
Those who can volunteer are
urged to report their willingness
to Thompson Immediately.
All volunteers must report at
their nearest stations published in
the volunteer coupon at 1880 a. m.
tomorrow so that the trucks can
leave promptly.
Anderson warned householders
not to leave children's metal toys,
tricycles or bicycles on the front
lawns tomorrow as they will be
picked up by the collectors. He
said it might be necessary to ex-
tend the drive until Monday so as
to pick up all the scrap put out.
Don't take the scrap back
into the house or garage" he
warned. 1--WE will pick IL up as
soon as we can. But IL Will be
picked up"

Women's Lond Army

The threescore women who have
completed special agricultural
training course at the University of
Maryland are reported to be having
the same experience many college
graduates undergo in normal times
they discover there Is no job await
ing them. In both cases, however,
the college training is of value and, in
most cases, eventually is put to use.
Despite the widely -publicized short
age Of farm labor. university officials
say no farmer has come forward to
ask for the services of the women
who voluntarily took a course con-
sisting of lectures and practical
training in horticulture, poultry rails
ing and dairying. Nevertheless some
of the women, who own farms, will
be able to apply their knowledge and
training at once and, perhaps, to help
their neighbors.
DR.. T. B. Symons, director of the
university's extension service and an
enthusiastic supporter Of the women's
land army movement, plans to set up
a committee to find appropriate oc-
cupation for the landlesS farmeretteS.
Meanwhile, school boys are being
trained for farm work during their
vacations in another Maryland farm
labor experiment and State officials
are studying the advisability of max
ing certain types of prisoners avail
able for agricultural enterprises.
These are among the numerous fac
tors which make it easy to under
stand why farmers will not make i'm
mediate offers for the services of the
farmerettes.
All signs indicate, however, that
the day is not far distant when
agriculture will follow the present
example of industry and call upon
women to fill jobs left vacant by
men drawn into the Nations war
effort. When that day comes, the
farmers will be glad that at least
some women we're energetic and
patriotic enough to obtain scientific
farm training.
