Dear Judge Woodward:

Dear Judge Woodward:
Your letter of Oct. 9TH re-
ceived yesterday. I cannot tell
you how much I appreciated
hearing from you and Mrs.
Woodward. Your thoughts of
me have been quite kind though
I'm afraid a little exaggerated.
The loss Of my crew was stiff
blow and makes me realize the
more that no victory is cheap.
Finer men never lived than they
and it is for us, the living to
insure the freedom and peace of
the nation and
Il From A the world for
. Combat Pilot which they so
In Pacific dearly fought
and died. We
may win the war but that is
not enough, we must win and
maintain the peace that follows.
Being the unprecedented bastion
Of freedom which it is, the
United States must take the lead
in making a policy of Education
throughout the world where the
peoples of all nationalities shall
be taught the benefits of prac-
tical democracy and freedom for
all people. The problems Of the
world win never be solved by
rule alone. Only when persons
Of all nationalities and creeds are
accorded the privileges of hui
mainly and self respect will
lasting peace be assured. If
America again fails to assure
the oppressed peoples of the
world that they have an equal
place in life with all men it will
and should lose its position of
democracy, Of the people, by the
people, and for the people. We
Americans, by birth have been
accorded a great heritage which
we must use to better the posi-
zion of all mankind. We take
for granted more than any other
peoples possess. Our nation is
the only one that is respected by
al peoples, it is for this reason
that we must give all men the
chance to live secure in the
knowledge of life, liberty and
The pursuit of happiness. Peon-
age and slavery must be abol-
shed. Nations and countries
that carry on a high standard
Of living at the expense of others
must be forced to adjust their
economies to their own individual
capabilities of production and
value to their fellowmen.
Immigration regulations need
not be lowered to give other
peoples a decent standard of
living, only the restrictions on
their advancement need be abol-
shed. Today we live too close
tcgether for any peoples to
maintain a position of isola-
tionism or superiority. The old
and new phraseology Of Ger
many for the Germans, France
for the French" america for

tend to establish any sort of
lasting peace. Only when we
All realize our obligations to one

Argentina Pr'osperine
On War, Shows No
Sign Of Taking Part
By LEON PEARSON.

A report mas just reacned the
State Department which says in
effect that so long as Argentines
have plenty to eat, plenty of gaso-
line for Joy rides and even the
luxury of nylon stockings, there is
not much chance of a political shift
in favor Of the United Nations.
the report comes from the United
States Embassy in Buenos Aires. It
gives a detailed description of ci-
william lite in especially
in Buenos Aires-and offers this as
an explanation of continued Argen-
tine neutrality.
The downtown streets of Buenos
Aires are filled with cars. There is
no gas rationing as in the United
States. At the rush hour, 1t might
take 20 minutes to pass a given
traffic signal. Taxis are plentiful,
and there is no effort to fill the cab
for economy.
State Controls Resources.
Argentina produces IS per cent
Of her petroleum requirements. and
in addition sends her own tankers
to Aruba for more supplies. She
is one of the few countries in the
world which has state-controlled
petroleum resources, plus her own
refineries.
Imports of other articles, from
pins to steel plate, are kept moving
by a merchant feet capable of
bringing to Argentina about two
thirds of her requirements This is
combination of the Argentine gov
ernment fleet and the vessels of the
Dodero line. When these ships call
at United States ports it is difficult
to deny them cargo-at least OF
nonessential goods.
Building in Argentina is about
normal. The shortage OF building
materials is only now beginning to
be felt. And when things become
short, the price goes up, and unex-
pected quantities come out of ware.

Everybody Is Prosperous.
In short, Argentina doesn't know
there's a war. Life Is too normal
Everybody is prosperous, and there

The report from the United States
Embassy stresses this point, sno
complains somewhat that Wash
ington has made so much of Ar
gentina as breadbasset whose
products are Indispensable to the
war. While Embassy officials have
tried to impress the Argentines with
the necessity of political action on
the side of the United Nations
Washington officials, according tc
this report, have pulled the opposite
oar by buying everything Argen-
tina has to sell.
