Almost the first
thing l heard over
~ the radio this morn
- ing was that spring
was just around the corner. How
do you stand on that assumption?
We have had some of the coolest
weather this month and the
most snow of the winter But
there are robins singing and
the crOcus and daffodils are ap-
pearing. They come some springs
only to be discouraged, but this
may be the year for lovely warm
days, and early paintings for
busy farmers and energetic gar
deners. There may be some who
are anxiously watching the coal
bin and the oil tank. These peo-
pie will welcome early warm
. days, too. Last year so much
was said about the warming ele-
ments. Much less was heard
about them this year. We adjust
ourselves to conditions, fussing
about it at first. but quietly ac-
auiese after a time. knowing it is
better that way.
Word came today of the ar
rival of a lovely little red-headed
laughter on March 8 to Mr.. and
Mrs. Eldridge Y. Prettyman in
Union Memorial Hospital in Bal
timore. She has already been
named Martha Margn. This is
the second child, the first one
was a boy and named for his
father. Mrs. Prettyman will be
remembered Is the former Miss
Martha Mccullough.

COLOMBIA EXPECTS ELECTION

BOGOTA.-Colombian political lead

remaining years Of his second term.
DR.. Lopez, on leave of absence to &C
company his wife to New York for
medical treatment, has made no official
declaration of his intentions, but even
his closest collaborators seem resigned

to continue battling against elements
in his own Liberal party which blocked
congressional approval Of his legisla-

MAY OFFER ORPHANS HAVEN

BUENOS AIRES.-The Museo Social
Argentine, semioficial cultural organ
ization, is studying plan to open Ar
gentina's doors to million European
war orphans and homeless children.
Because Argentina is predominantly
of Latin stock, the children would be
emigrated from France, Italy and other
Latin countries. They would be placed
in homes and educated under the pat
ronage Of national social welfare or
ganization.
Sponsors believe it would provide Ar
gentina with new generation of i'm
migrants which would fuse easily with
the nations population.
The proposal has encountered some
opposition. One leading metropolitan
newspaper pointed out that transporta-
ton of million children across the
Atlantic even after the war is no small
task in itself. Citing the high infant
mortality rate In some rural areas where
malnutrition is almost endemic, 1t as
serted Argentina should solve It's home
problems befors assuming additional

Talk Doesn't Paw

Reports from Buenos Aires say the
people there are very careful about
talking against the Ramirez military
government. One story via the grape
vine is that man on a passenger bus
in Buenos Aires recently saw a we'll
dressed young woman tell the bus driver
not to stop until he saw a policeman.
The bus driver asked why. She turned
back the lapel of her neatly tailored
coat and showed the badge of secret
agent, and told the bus driver: There
are two passengers on board who have
been talking against the government.
They must be arrested" They were.
Whether the story is true or not, it
indicates to some extent the feeling of
the Argentines.

Whatever its demerits, the plan
focused attention once again on Argen-
tina's perennial problem of increasing
its population for development of its
vast agricultural potential. Approx
mately as large as the United States
east Of the Mississippi, Argentina has
less than 100000 inhabitants, or l3
per square mile, compared with about

No one disputes the. need for larger
population but many oppose unrestrict+
ed immigration and believe a higher
birth rate is the answer. Argentinas S
birth rate has shown a progressive de-
cline. No national census has been
taken for 80 years, but the trend is in
dicated by figures for Buenos Aires
Province which contains more than a
third Of the country's population. There
the birth rate declined from so per 1000
population in 1914 to II in 1887.
Immigration, likewise, has declined
steadily since the peak period 1slo-1914.

extension Of President Lopezs leave for
an indefinite period in order that Act

tinue in power. Another side, supported
by former President Eduardo Santos Ell
TEMPO, believes an election could be
held either May "A or May 21 with
reasonable assurances that the Liberals
would remain in control.
Although Colombias foreign policy
has consistently favored inter-Ameri-
can collaboration for many years, the
57-year-old Lopez has been one of the
leading exponents of continental unity.

the remainder of the term ending In
