Those excerpts from an accoun.
of 38 days spent in a shrapnel-
riddled lifeboat by survivors of a
merchant ship sunk in the Pacific
were released yesterday by the Navy
Department.
The ship, the Donerail, was sunk
by a submarine in mid-Pacific en-
route from Suva, Fiji Islands. to
Vancouver, B. c., two days after
the attack on Pearl Harbor, but the
Navy said that 'it was not until
eight haggard men landed at a
West Coast port, months after the
loss of their ship, that the full facts
became known"
Sigfred K. Brunn, radio operator
of the Donerail, was spokesman for
the group. He told how shells from
the submarine killed most of the
crew and sank the Donerail. TWen-
ty-four survivors, crowded into one
boat. took stock of their situation
and found little to encourage them.
Lifeboat Level with Water.
Many were wounded by shrapnel,
some seriously: all we're thinly clad,
and the night was cold
The boat was riddled with
shrapnel holes. In spite of the
frantic efforts of bailers, the water
rushed in and the boat sank level
with the water, where its air tanks
held it with the gunwales awash.
That first night four men died
from wounds and exposure. After
the dead mems clothing had been
removed and distributed among the
neediest of those remaining, their
bodies were put over the side.
With the coming of daylight the
sea subsided and the boat was finally
raised by plugging the holes with
wood, rags and wax. Most of the
provisions had been washed away
All that remained were 40 tins of
canned milk, few saltwater
soaked biscuits and three small
bottles of vitamin pills. The water
beaker was three-fourths full.

survivor from the wheelhouse watch
and was the only one who knew the
ships position.
Mr.. Brunn supplied a rough esti-
mate and sail was rigged in the
hope of reaching the Hawaiian
Islands. The boat, however, was
fiat-bottomed, without keel, and
would sail only in the direction the
wind was blowing So, from the
force and direction of the prevailing
winds, it was decided to set course
for the Island of Tarawa, 1000 miles
to the southwest.
There was almost always a stiff
wind, and the seas were heavy. The
men suffered most at night, when
the cold penetrated their soaked
clothing. During the next 10 days,
seven of the more severely wounded
died.
On the fourteenth day the cap
tain was lost overheard. He was
taking his turn at the tiller, a frail
makeshift affair, when it broke as
he leaned on it and he was thrown
into the sea. They threw him a
lifejacket, which he reached, and
an effort was made to bring the
boat about and go back, but the
wind and sea were too strong.
During the next IA days several
more men died from wounds, ex-
posure and starvation.
Natives Gave Assistance.
After 30 days, the only food left
was little milk and the spoiled
biscuits. Occasionally they caught
flying fish, and once large bird
flew into the boat. 1t was promptly
killed and eaten. Another time a
pole covered with small shellfsh
floated by; it was picked clean and
white. OF the original "a, only
8 remained. One man went out of
his mind, but he was not violent
and was no problem in the boat.
On the thirty eighth day, the
weak voice of the lookout raised a
joyful cry. On the horizon there
rose a dim, misty shape which
proved not to be cloud or a mirage.
The boat was blown swiftly closer
to the island, but it became ap-
parent that strong currents beset
the shore and it would be impossible
to make land without rowing. The
exhausted men could scarcely lift
the heavy oars, but they were sight
ed by natives and 10 canoes put
out to meet them and guide them
to landing.
From this island, which the Navy
did not identify, the men finally
made rendezvous with rescue
ship after careful planning and at
length reached United States soil
First announcement of the sink
ing, last March, revealed that a
total of 40 persons perished, in
Guiding two women and an 49,
month-old baby who were killed as
a shell struck their lowering life
boat.
Survivors, all Danes except for
an Australian, told how the amer-
chairman nearly rammed the sub
marine, which crash-dived and re-
turned later to shell and sink the
vessel.

BOUREE-WBITK

The problem is difficult because some of
South Americas most important farm prod
ucts compete with our own. This is true of
wheat, fax beef, corn and cotton.
Part of the answer is for our people to be as
liberal as possible in admitting Latin Ameri-
can products to our markets Before the war,
a good start was made in this direction
through the Enlargement program.
Strategic Wax Materials
kANOTHER part of the answer is to help the
Latin American countries develop other prod
ucts which we do not produce ourselves or
which we produce in insufficient quantities.
Among these are rubber. hemp, quinine, tung-
stem and tin - supplies of which we formerly
imported from Southeast Asia. What differ
ence it would make if we could turn immedi-
ately to the Western Hemisphere for them
now!
Altogether, work is being done looking
toward the development of more than 100
non-competitive agricultural products. Even
though it takes time to get them into large

to Latin America by private individuals
should not be regarded as wholly thing of
the past. Wherever private credit facilities
can function best. certainly they ought to be
used without any aid from government. This
might be true in the building of shoe fac
tory, for example In some other projects,
where private enterprise cannot raise quite
enough money, some government aid may be
necessary at the beginning. Then there is a
third type of project, such as providing irri-
CATION or roads for plantation 500 miles in
the interior, which would have to be financed
entirely by government
This whole subject of where the dollars are
to come from has close relation to third
question. which is: How can the United States
get its money back?
No matter how carefully the loan or invest
ment is made, no matter how reliable the
government or the business firm using the
money, repayment will be impossible unless
the debtor country has or can get enough dol
lar exchange. For this reason it is very impor-
tant for the Latin American countries to OBJ

destroyed no more bond issues could be
foated. The shock of this collapse of inter-
national finance helped to make the depres-
sion of the 1905 the worst in the history
of modern civilization.
Naturally, as we look toward the future,
we do not want to plunge headlong into an
other orgy of unrestrained lending. But
neither do we want to be short-sighted bank
ers who are penny and pound foolish.
To insist on being absolutely sure that every
dollar loaned is coming back with interest in
a relatively short period of time would be
sterile and negative. Such policy would not
be adequate to the welfare of either Latin
America or the United States, especially in
the present state of the world.
Instead l believe we should follow the
policy of the wise banker with the longer
view. We should use credit as healthful
tonic. rather than as a stimulant which leaves
depression in its wake. We want to avoid the
financial wreckage of decade ago, and yet
help to build up the entire Western Henri
sphere as solid and substantial part of the
United Nations front Of the future.
Uncle Sam a D00koY
"A SECOND question we face is this Should
money be loaned 10 Latin America by Our gop-
eminent or by private indiriduaIs'
At present. most of the lending that is
being done is by our government. Through
our government we are extending several
kinds of credit to Latin American countries.
One of these is short-term credit offered by
the Export-Im Import Bank, to facilitate the
movement of exports from the United States
to Latin American buyers. Another kind of
credit, handled by the Treasury, takes the
form of loans for the purpose of stabilizing the
exchange rate, and then there are long g-term
loans for agricultural and industrial develop
ment. and for public works. In addition, the
United States is stimulating industrial devel-
opment in Latin America through the exten-
sive buying of war materials
To permit the expansion of constructive
credit to Latin America. Congress in Septem-
Der of 1910 increased the lending power of the
Export-Import Bank from $2OO,OOO.OOO to
S7OO,OOOOOO Very little of this new lending
power has been used. though much of it has
been allocated.

growth of large-scale corporation farming can
be avoided
Far-reaching economic progress is expected
to be made, not only through the work in
Haiti, but also, it is hoped, through the Ecua-
dorean and Bolivian Development Corpora
tions and similar projects in other Latin
American countries. The immediate and ur-
gent aim is to expand the production of mate
rials 50 desperately needed in order to win the
war - including, besides the products already
named, antimony, copper. sisal, castor beans,
lead, zinc and other strategic materials.
All these projects will not only be essential
for successful prosecution of the war. but will
also have vital bearing on the problem of
maintaining trade between the various coun-
tries of the New World after the war is over.
Other suggestions are being made looking
which imports into Latin America can be
prevented from getting too big in comparison
with exports is through stimulating the pro-
duction of commodities, such as shoes and
clothing, which otherwise would have to be
imported. This will give the Latin American
countries more balanced economy, and will
make them less dependent on exports.
Aproposal much discussed in some quarters
is that hemisphere currency" or trade
dollar" be established.
Still other suggestions look toward making
it easier for the Latin American countries to
pay their obligations. If the problem of ex-
change can be solved, trade within the hemi-
sphere is not likely again to be drastically
curtailed, as it was in the 193O's.
A fourth question which arises as we map
our credit policies for the future is this:
Does US. Investment mean YANKEE impe-
rialism"?
This question is naturally of most concern
to the Latin American countries themselves.
They are anxious to see their resources put
to use, but not at the expense of losing control
over their own affairs.
We must make sure that the kind of
Yankee Imperialism" which is feared by our
Latin American friends can never be a reality.
Certainly it will not, if the spirit of the Good
Neighbor policy continues to prevail
1t is vital that the Latin American coun-
tries should feel that they are in partnership
with us, and that they should have an ade-
quate voice in the management of enterprises
established with our capital. At the same time

projects in other Latin American countries.
Haiti's farm production in the past has been
concentrated on few staple crops, such as
coffee, cotton, sugar and bananas, which are
often subject to depressed prices on world
markets. The new plan is designed to foster
the production of rubber and valuable spice,
drug, oil and fiber products regarded as
having real commercial possibilities. The de-
velopment corporation furnishes the Haitian
farmers with seed and technical assistance
and agrees to purchase the crops after they
are harvested.
Experience with the plan thus far indicates
rubber and the other important CONNER
cial products can be cultivated to advan-

market in the United States for the materials
which this country needs in carrying on the
war. Due to this unusual situation, they accu-
mulated dollar balances of about $2OO. .000,O 900
in l941. This year the dollar balances are ex-
pected to total more than $5O0,OOO.O 900. Our
great excess of imports means that certain
Latin American countries will have such a
surplus of American dollars that they will re-
quire no banking facilities from us as long
as the war is going on.
But we must recognize that after the un-
usual war demand from the United States
comes to an end, Latin American countries
will face the same old problem of getting dol
lars with which to buy our products or to pay
interest on their debts to U.S.
