Bolivia

Washingtons lead on this mat
ter.)
Meanwhile, the new Bolivian gov
ernment's special, agent here, Fer
nando Iturralde, declared the State
Departments decision was great
injustice" to his country, which he
said "is no menace to any demo-
cratic nation"
Ofhcials indicated that despite
non-recognition of Bolivia, COM
mercial relations between the United
States and that country would con-
tinue. This Government has been
taking, in cooperation with the
British, virtually all of Bolivia's tin
output.
Speculation Bolstered.
Speculation that Argentina might
break relations with the Axis arose
from the fact that the Washington
announcement on Bolivia omitted
all mention of Argentina, though
blast at that nation had been con-
f1dently expected by Latin Amer
can diplomats here. Several ex-
pressed surprise that it was not
named and that its suspected link
with the Bolivian revolution was
not brought out
The State Departments statement
was worded with extreme caution
The United States statement in
dicated to the Bolivian people that
Washington policy was directed en-
|tirely at the junta and not at
Bolivia as nation. 1t said:
This Government is confident
that the freedom-loving people of
the American republics, including
those of Bolivia, who have the good
will Of the Government and people
OF the United States, will under
stand that this decision is taken in
furtherance of the aforesaid purpose
(of hemisphere defense)."
Whether the recall of Ambassador
Boal and the decision to continue
Withholding recognition will be fol-
lowed by some stronger and more
positive action by the United States
was not made known.
Yesterdays action was the strong
est yet taken by this Government
against another government in this
hemisphere since the start of the
Good Neighbor policy.
In La Paz the foreign ministry
said 1t had not been ofIicially noti-
fed of Washington's decision to
withhold recognition of the govern
ment of President Vallarroel, but
the action apparently came as no
surprise.
While government officials de-
clined to comment, there seemed a
disposition to feel that the stand
OF the United States would not nec-
essarily affect economic relations
between the two countries That
feeling apparently was predicated
on the Importance OF Bolivian ex-
orts-particularly metals to the
United States war effort.
Members of the revolutionary
junta gathered last night, however
at the presidential palace to discuss
the situation.

WHAT is A PATRIOT?

Nobody has ever been abel to saw
where patriotism starts and where it
ends. Most patriots, especially in war
time, appear to be composed of about
80 per cent noise.
It's been only few months ago
when the Brewster airplane plant in
New Jersey had labor trouble or man.
agement trouble, which resulted in the
government taking it over and drop
ping it in the lap of Henry Kaiser in
order to get production The workers
in that plant were damned from hell
to breakfast because some brass hat
said they were holding back the war.
In fact, some of our leading citizens
wanted to cruelty the leader of that
union, and it was even discovered that
in his youth he had trouble with the
authorities.
Anyway, Henry j. X. took hold,
brought order out of chaos, as the say
ing goes, and the plant settled down
and produced aircraft.
As matter of fact, it has appar-
emily produced too many aircraft, be-
cause recently the Navy announced
that no more are needed, and these
trades unionists employed there can
now look for other jobs
Further than that, the Navy per-
suaded the Federal Housing Authority
to erect hundreds of homes for war
workers in this plant, and they are
now and will from now on stand empty
because there will be no war workers
in this plant to occupy these war
homes.
And so, the noisy patriots of few
months ago are now very quiet.

NORTHUMBERLAND FIASCO

When the government seized the
Chicago plant of the Montgomery
Ward Co. because the management
defed the War Labor Board and the
government the daily papers gleefully
filled the front pages with stories of
ridicule.
1t was, according to our best col
umnists and editors, sheer persecution
for the federal government to use the
army to compel recalcitrant tycoon
to comply with orders of a federal
agency. The Smith Connally law, ap-
parently was never intended to apply
to employers. 1t was designed only to
keep workers on the job
Even members of Congress became
excited about this case, because the
firm has retail outlets all over the
country and spends millions of dollars
for advertising. Such outfits must of
course, he handled with gloves-care-
fully, oh, so carefully.
President of the company, or chair
man of the board, or whatever he is
called, instead of capitulating to gov
ernment orders, insisted on staying or
the job, and even had his picture taker
while being carried out of the plant

minds can run only in the old time
channel of earth-bound operations -
the invasion, in fact, has been on fol

we now add land troops of occupation
and liberation to air forces of pure
destruction.
When air forces have destroyed
enough, then ground forces move in.
The invasion by ground forces is the
second phase of the whole war oper-

no place to go. Surely, there is for
them no safe place.

army an army of liberation.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

THE only world affairs worth talk
i ing about at this hour are those
affairs having to do with the war.
AS these lines are written the war
is going well.
Every writer who has opportunity
to express an opinion is doing SO all
over the place.
Radio commentators are doing their
best to tell US what it is all about.
Commercially, restraint marks most
of the writings and broadcasts, just as
it marks the utterances of our military
leaders.
We can look at what is happening
and we can, in the light of events,
have high hopes.
But we must keep on being prepared
for reverses as long as the German
army remains an intact fighting
force.
However, there are some things
that seem certain. To those who have
hammered impatiently for invasion in
the months past, it can be pointed out
that the bombing preparation seems to
have been well worth the price.
How long can any army get its re-
serves and supplies where they are
needed after it's communications have
been bombed into ruins?
1t seems certain that, whatever may
be the courage of the Nazi troops
they must be hamstrung by lack OF
railroads, by smashing factories, by
circumscribed imports.
Let it be repeated to those whose
