Sergeant Harold B. Wizard

Melbourne, Australia
Dear Harold:
So you are in ''The Land Down
Under" the land of the capricicus
kangaroo, the animal that has the
rumble seat in front.
Those kangaroos we're not so
dumb when they figured out that
plan to carry the family. The near
est thing that human beings have
to that sensible means of transpor-
tation are the Indians. They carry
their papooses in a rumble seat,
but their rumble seats are on their
backs When they want to talk to
the papoose they have to turn
around, and then where are they?
The kid is still in the back.
On the other hand Cor correctly,
in the other rumble seat), the kan
garoo can keep an eye on the pas
senger in the front rumble seat
can talk to, it or even play pinochle
with it if it gets lonesome.
Everything here is about the
same. Sam Bracker is still the same
great salesman. You go into the
store to buy pair of socks and he
winds up trying to sell you pair
cf yellow button shoes, the kind
that went out with the Spanish
American war in 1898.
I went in a couple of weeks ago
to buy a necktie. bought the tie
and he says, "Say, I've got a suit
lust came in that will match that
necktie' -
says, But I don't want a suit,
Sam"
"Okay," he says, this suit just
came in you don't have to buy
it. Let me just try it on for size,
I want to see how it looks. ~
5000 I let him try it on me,
boy, oh boy, oh boy!" he sez,
"iust take look at yourself in that
mirror. In that suit you look like
Lord Mountbatten in civvies.'
Well, having seen Lord Mount
batten's picture I was flattered.

fat as I am. I was pleasantly shock

It'll take it, sez I.
So I go home, very proud. But

miration? He'll, no!
Are you wearing that thing or

why no." sez I, Sam Bracke1
says I look like Lord Mountbatten
in it,
You look like a lead CT cctAcr

had some gold braid on it you'c
look like the doorman at the Bilt-
more. Take a look at yourself ir
that mirror"
I did. Well, looked like the back
end of 1886 Packard sedan.

u. 5. Embargo on Oil
Seen Forcing Spain
Toward Allied Camp
BY BLAIR BOLLES.

The American Governments
decision to give Spain stern
treatment by cutting Of oil ex-
ports from the Caribbean to
Spain during February is ex-
|pected to weaken Gen. Francisco
Frances political control over
the country and force him to
reconsider his recent course OF
conciliation toward the Axis, 1t
was said here today.
The one-month oil embargo
which might be extended If the
Spanish government fails to change
its policy, was imposed as a result
OF change Of attitude on the part
OF the Joint Chiefs to Staff Com
mittee here. The Army and Navy
hitherto have insisted that the
United States appease Gen. Franco
because the military leaders feared
that forceful American policy
might throw Spain into the Axis
camp and thereby make Allied
Mediterranean military operations
hazardous.
The embargo strikes at the heart
of Spanish economy, and its effects
will be felt all over the country. The

Maybe the game isn't over.-CMW
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1944-03-17

Let us for brief spell consider the
case of one Lombardo Toledano, who
goes rip roaring over the hemisphere
building a machine for himself.
We may we'll wonder how long this
gazabo is going to get away with i.
Lombardo Toledano, intellectual ad-
venturer, back a few years, during the
presidency of Lazaro Cardenas, was a
professor at the University in Mexico
City.
Then he blossomed into the GROIN.
Then, to cement himself tight with
Cardenas, he started a rival organi-
zation and started to go places. CTM
was his ticket, and right smart
ticket he made out of it.
Then Mr.. Toledano organized the
Latin American Federation of Labor.
That means all of the nations in this
hemisphere except the United States
and Canada.
Lombardo Toledano has a nice
house in Mexico City and he is fol-
lower of the Communist party line.
Our State Department seems to
have put no blocks in his way. There
is temptation to wonder what in
blazes is the matter with our State
Department.
Toledano has meeting coming off
right soon now and his agent sent to
Washington to build prestige did a
pretty good job, pulling fast one on
Mr.. Hull's boys.
Mr.. Rockefeller didn't fall for To-
ledano this time.
AS a matter of fact very sloppy
job, on the whole, has been done in
trying to stop Toledano, even though
Mr.. Rockefeller has given him some
what chilly shoulder.
Toledano is playing a game that
isn't helping the United Nations.
While John l.. Lewis headed CIO
Toledano played with him and vice
versa, more to Toledano's benefit than
Lewis, as far as we know.
There is great deal to be desired
about our handling of Pan American
relations. There are many items in the
agenda. But the Toledano item is one
that hits most sharply at labor and
it is one that could have been blunted
long ago-but wasn't.
In forming his Latin Federation of
Labor Toledano started movement
to split the Latin nations of this hem
isphere from the English speaking
nations.
And, being the kind of adventurer
he is, he put something dynamic into
his nefarious undertaking.
Meanwhile, real friends of Pan
American solidarity and of United
Nations victory haven't had the sup
port and understanding that might
have been given them.
AS for Mr.. Rockefeller, his record
isn't all pure gold, either. He hasn'i
shown too much understanding Of
mass movements, nor their unique
value. His background may be respon.
