purchases, but observers seem agreed
that 1t Is likely to create a rather
difficult problem for Madrid. Indeed,
some quarters suggest the possibility
that it may lead to shake-up in
the government and that even the
Generalissimo himself may fall. This
view, which couples the economic
picture with reports that bands Of
Spanish Maquis have been making
guerrilla attacks against regular
frontier troops. may prove to be
exaggerated, but the situation is suf-
f1ciently uncertain to bear watching.

Worry for Franco

With our Allied armies now stand
Ing between Germany and nearly
all its former outside sources of vital
materials and supplies, Anglo-Amer-
lean preclusive buying-a phase of
economic warfare designed to de-
prive the enemy of goods needed for
his military machine-has ceased to
be necessary. AS a result, countries
like Spain, Portugal and Turkey are
losing premium business in which,
IN order to freeze out the Nazis, we
have often paid for our purchases at
prices inflated several times beyond
true value.
The end of this program is expected
to affect Spain more adversely than
any other selling country involved,
depriving it of an important Ameri-
can and Allied dollar income. This
income, during 80 months of preclu-
sive buying, amounted to $160,000,-
600, sum considerably greater than
the Spanish can realize from their
normal exports to us. Short of OBJ
tanning loan, therefore-and loan
Is considered unlikely-they may be
hard put to find enough dollars to
buy all the things they need from us,
a situation greatly complicated by
the fact that the German market Is
now entirely closed to them.
The conclusion OF our preclusive
buying may thus cause considerable
economic distress in Spain-a pros
pect which may involve significant
internal political repercussions as
we'll. At the moment. the Madrid
government, which came to power
with the help of Hitler and Musso-
lini, by no means enjoys the 100 per
cent support OF the Spanish people.
The deeper wounds of the civil war
are not yet healed. and many Span
iards-both on the right and on the
left-look upon the Franco leader
ship with varying degrees OF an
tipathy ranging from lukewarm to
militant.
It is too early, Of course, to tell
eEactly how much Spain will be

Maintaining the Offense

Governor Dewey struck hard and
effectively at the New Deal in his
st. Louis speech.
1t is clear that the Republican
candidate, with but three weeks
remaining until election day, in
tends to carry the fight to his
opponent, striving to keep the Pres
ident on the defensive. He may
find this not an easy thing to do,
however, for Mr.. Roosevelt is an
able campaigner, and he, too, is at
his best when on the offensive.
At st. Louis, Governor Dewey
singled out for attack what he de-
scribed as the planned, noisy chaos
and bungling" of the New Deal. In
support of this indictment he called
the long roll Of the feuds among
high officials of the present admin
istration-a charge which cannot be
denied-and asserted that we must
have peace in our own Government
before the United States can make
any important contribution to the
maintenance Of peace and order
throughout the world.
This presumably is to be his
answer to those who contend that
the President should be reelected
because he is better qualified by
virtue Of his experience to lead this
Nation In its relations with other
countries. Mr.. Dewey contends that
If the President cannot put a stop
to quarrels in his own administra-
ton he cannot be expected to deal
adequately with contending factions
on the world stage. In later
speeches, no doubt, the Republican
nominee will enlarge upon this
theme, and 1t seems more than
likely that the President will have
something to say for himself on
this score.
In word, this political campaign
is going into the home stretch, and
unless all signs fail it is going to
be a real fight right down to the
finish line.

OMAHA, Oct. 17.-Nebraska, which
President Roosevelt carried against
Hoover by nearly 10000 and against
Landon by 100 900 votes, no longer cot
tons to either Mr.. Roosevelt or his
policies. 1t will 60 for Gov Dewey
on November T. probably more strongly
than for the late Wendell L. Willkie
four years ago. Mr.. Willkie had
margin of $4,000 over the President.
If the vote is lighter than in 1910,
as now expected, Gov. Deweys total
might not be as large as the Willkie
total, but, in percentages. Gov Dewey
is expected to improve on the measure
OF victory.
The Democratic party has been shot
to pieces in recent years in this State,
due in part to internal rows. Re-
helped the situation for the Demo-
Gratis. Even with the support Of the
late Senator George Norris, known for
years as q great liberal leader, Mr..
Roosevelt was unable to stem the tide
in 1910. Senator Norris, who really
abandoned the Republican party ma
tionally back in 1928 and supported
every Democratic presidential candidate
thereafter, himself went down before
the voters in 1942.

aid Of the CIO Political Action Com
mittee. Because of the eforts-and the

I'm his book, "Cosmetology

Spencer discusses the many
problems of beauty that con-
front those who deal with the
care of the Negro's skin and
hair. The text, though small,
is written in such a manner as
to be understood by the av-
erage person.
sAmong some Of the points
discussed are characteristics
of the skin that are peculiar
to Negroes; the important
role of the Negro beauticlan
in community health; diseases
of the skin, including the
scalp, and prevention where
possible.
! Among the characteristics
peculiar to the Negro, the
author states, are the tendecy
to develop prominent ugly
scars or keloidsa that follow
the slightest injury to the
skin and the presence of pig

that sometimes cause blem-
ishes, moles and other mark
