Butler Discounts Effect
OF 4th Term Defeat
On afin-Americans

Friendly relations between the
United States and Latin America
would mot be changed an iota by a
change of administrations" in this
country, Senator Butler, Republican
of Nebraska, declared here last
night after a 15,000-mile tour OF
Central and South America.
He said he emphasized throughout
his journey that maintenance of a
policy as between those countries
and the United States does not de-
pend on continuation of one party
in power.
He came back urging that "every
consideration be given to emphatic
economy in our domestic program, -
to strengthen this country. on the
theory that. without a strong nation
at home the United States cannot
maintain a strong foreign policy.
Urges Close Cooperation.
His second suggestion was that
this country make close military and
economic cooperation with all of
Latin America major part of it's
foreign policy. Some of the ways
OF carrying out this policy, he said.
are:
Emphasize hemisphere solidarity: !:
encourage increased trade: extend
goodwill measures in every way pos
sible which brings them in closer
relationship with us; support a pro-
gram of continued aid to such coun-
tries as can be helped financially
educationally and healthwise, but
do so as largely as possible through
private means"
Senator Butler urged the elimina-
tion of what he described as tenn
porary boondoggling" in some of
the present activities of this Gov
ernment in South America. but re-
Trained from celebrating on specific
illustrations at this time.
Not Official Trip.
The Nebraskan made the trip as
an individual, not as a representa-
tive of any committee, or of the
Republican organization. He indi-
Gated, however, that he expects to
prepare some reports that would
make available to his colleagues the
information he gathered.
AS a substitute for what he called
the temporary boondoggling type
of activity" Senator Butler sug-
gested permanent, long-term plans
for aiding the republics of this hem
isphere on cooperative $3.50 basis,
such as Congress follows in dealing
with the States on betterment pro-
grams.
Asked If he. believed there was
need for any changes in the Recip-
rocal Trade Agreement Act, which
Congress recently renewed, Sena-
tor Butler said, 81 didn't have a
single suggestion given me about the
Trade Agreement Act 1t was at
this point that he asserted continual
ton of a policy between the Ameri-
can republics does not depend on
one party being in power.
Senator Eutler said the greatest
criticism he heard related to the
cost of this Governments efforts to
develop rubber in South America.
He said he had been told on the trip
that the cost would be about $500
per pound, if the appropriation for
the purpose is applied to the amount
of rubber obtained. He said he did
not have at hand all of the figures
in the calculation.

 Asked as to the origin of enemy bombers that made a raid on the American forces, in which five out of 16 Japanese two engined bomb CTS were shot down. Secretary Knox said: We do not know where the planes came from but we have suspicion they came from the Eur lies"
 The Kuriles are the northern Japanese anchor about 630 miles from Attu.
 Asked whether any reports had come in to show the airfield pre- ject initiated by the Japs at Attu was feasible, Knox said no reports have arrived but I assume that what the Japs have started. the Tanks can finish"
 It was disclosed that the enemy made considerable progress in lev cling a flight strip up to the time when the American invasion be- gan two weeks ago at Attu.
 Secretary Knox disclosed that group of "Sea Bees" Navy con- struction men, are on the job and began development of the island almost as soon as the tirst waves VI tilI fltilCi lteti4 NOIlO0b biOOhto landed. The "Sea Bees" in fact are trained to fight as well as work, said Knox and those at Attu will be most useful as this was gained from experience at Guadalcanal. This type is extremely useful said Knox
 No official mention is made re- garding the Tokyo broadcast. heard by Reuters in London, that "all indications now are that an Amer ican battleship or cruiser is re- ported heavily damaged by a Jap submarine in the Aleutians or was actually sunk"
 There has been no confirmation of this from any other source.
