ARGENTINA CURBS.
AXIS BUSINESSES
BY EWALD L. ALMEN

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. o. R -
New restrictions have been placed
on Axis firms in Argentina which
government spokesman assert will
render them incapable of interfer-
ing with the Allied war effort
If this assertion turns out to be
true, Argentina at long last has full
filled one of her commitments of
the Rio de Janeiro conference of
foreign ministers in 1912, which
called for the elimination of all
commercial ties inimical to the
security of the western hemis-
phere.
The Castillo administration pre-
tended to Indictment the article by
examining the files of business
firms owned or controlled by Axis
capital. q F@%
Critics contended that surveil-
lance was haphazard and half
hearted. They said that Axis con-
trolled firms-virtually all of them
German ere doing business at
increased profits, despite shortages
of materials. They said also that
the government had not prevented
these firms from obtaining critical
materials imported from sister re-
publics in the hemisphere
Materials shipped to government
agencies as well as Argentine -
owned firms, it was said, eventual
ly found their way to the stockpiles
of the Axis companies, which rep
resented an indispensable asset to
German espionage and propagan-
da in this hemisphere.
Even after Argentina severed
diplomatic relations with the Axis,
these companies retained friends in
high places and appeared unaffect-
ed by political developments. One
of the directors of large German
controlled corporation was the may
or of the capital until his resigna-
ton last April.
Charges that the internal reve-
nue. department had failed to ex-
ercise due vigilance over the Axis
firms were admitted by the gov
eminent in accepting the resig-
nation of the director, Adolfo ST.
lenzi De Stagni, and transferring
jurisdiction to the department of
industry and commerce.
Under the new decree this de-
partment now is empowered to take
over management of the firms and,
if necessary, expropiate them. Ba-
sically, however, the authority rests
in an administrative council COM
posed of civilian representatives of
business and industry.

Stimson Emphasizes
Desire Of American
Troops To Come Home

MIAMI BEACH. Fla, Dec. g.
R-Secretary of War Stinson said
today that mo country need ever
fear United States Army of oc-
cupation-our boys want to get
home.''
1.-THE American soldier is not
afraid of anything, but he's the
most homesick creature when he's
in foreign lands" the secretary
added in an interview.
II remember that I shared that
feeling in the last war. The effect
was to idealize our home-Ameri-
ca was the place where the sun
shone all the time"
Returning soldiers must be made
to realize, Stimson added, that
this country is not made up en-
tirely of strikers and exploiters.

Biddle Says Tommy Corcoran's
Influence Somewhat Overrated

WASHINGTON, Dec 9.--tR-At-
torney General Biddle expressed
the opinion today that Thomas G.
(Tommy the Cork Corcoran's in.
fluence with the justice department
was somewhat overrated.
The cabinet officially appeared
before the senate immigration
committee ostensibly to recon-
ment approval of his executive
assistant, Ugo Carusi, as immigra-
ton and naturalization commits
sioner replacing Earl G.. Harrison,
resigned.
The Carusi nomination, how
ever, became only a peg on which
to hand a three-hour give and take
on the recent custer of assistant
Attorney General Norman M. lit
tell. LitteI commended Corcorar,
former New Deal intimate, had
been able to summon Biddle to his
apartment when ne GittelD had 10
wait days for an appointment with
his chief.
After Biddle delivered warm
recommendation of Carusi for the
immigration post, Senator Fergu-
son (R-MichD led the attorney
general into a general renash of
the Littell incident. Biddle an
peared eager to present his side
of the affair to the senators.
Il think that Mr.. Corcoran is
completely honest man, and he
is a friend of mine,' Biddle told
the committee. He declared he
felt very strongly about differences
as to Corcoran's influence with
his department.
Littell was ousted by President
Roosevelt last week for insubordi-
alton after he had sent the senate
war investigating committee a
memorandum alleging that Biddle
had sought to intervene in a con-
domination suit on Corcoran's be-
half.
After hours of talk about a doz-
en- lawsuits in which Littell, Caru-
81, Corcoran or Biddle had taken
part, Senator Ferguson CR-Mich.)
suggested that Littell be called
up next week to present his side
of the affair, but Chairman Rus
sell D-Ga.) objected.

LOCUST Is the surprise word OF

is, as big as life: LOE-kust.
Charles T. Davis, editorial writer
of the Arkansas Gazette, Little Rock,
recently published this amusing
item:
"For centuries. Lexico- commenta-
tor Frank Colby observes, the British
and Americans have been helping
themselves to the French language,
Anglicizing the pronunciation, and
sometimes changing the meaning of
words. French translations of Eng
lish are even more of the same.
There is an episode in The Spy,
by James Fenimore Cooper, in which
the spy, riding as deeply into a forest
as he dares, ties his horse to locust,
and proceeds afoot. In the bright
lexicon of French trees there is no
such word as locust. But there is
an chronological locust. 1t is 'sau-
tefelle,' and it takes in locusts, grass
hoppers, and practically every other
kind of winged bug that jumps. So
the translator tied the spy's horse to
a sauterelle, and rationalized it for
his readers by explaining that in
