could have been obtained only
from headquarters of the British
army itself.
DEBTS OF HONOR
In closing his accounts July /,
1888. Washington made this note
regarding the great work done by
his spies:
Before these accounts are
finally closed, justice and pro-
priety call upon me to signify
that there are persons within
the British lines-if they are
not dead or remoyed-who have
claim upon the public under
the strongest assurances OF
compensation from me for their
services i'm conveying me pri-
waite intelligence and which
when exhibited I shall think
myself in honor bound 10 pay"
Great credit should be given to
these American spies. for no
claims We're ever made in after
years for their valuable services.
One Of the items of expense
Washington entered in his account
book for July at Cambridge was
as follows: ITO cash paid for
cleaning the house which was
provided for my quarters and
which had been occupied by the
Marblehead Regiment pounds
10 shillings 8 pence" About
$3.50 in value today.
On Sept. /, 1775, he made this
entry, To cash for recovering my
pistols which had been stolen and
for repairing them sfterward-

opinion Of United states farmers

values and cheaper labor.
GOOD SENSE PROGRAM
Out Of this impasse developed
the idea Of Complementary asri-
cultures" The basis Of the theory
was that since only four Latin
American countries were In the
temperate some and is were tropi-
cal or semitropicsl and largely
undeveloped. II would be possible
for south and Central America
TO develop agricultural products
which would not only not COM

market In North America and the
rest Of the world a. well
Furthermore. the four temper

benefit. The agricultures Of the
various regions thus complement
