MEXICO CITY, Feb. 22.-Ar-
gentina's position outside the
circle of American nations took
on ever-increasing Importance
today as the Inter American
Conference got down to the
business of attempting to solve
some of the war and postwar
problems facing this hemisphere.
without mentioning any countries
by name, President Avila Camacho
of Mexico declared in a keynoting
address last night that establish
ment Of political and economic de-
tmocracy throughout the hemisphere
is a prerequisite to successful func.
tioning of any international group.
Events prove" President Camache
said, that no agreement can be-
come consolidated among the mem
bers of any international society
when the governments of some OF
these members Gas the dictators
practice it, act under the influence
of a regime of violence while the
rest are trying to give definite
form to the majority desire OF the
community"
Democracy Called Bulwark.
He insisted that democracy was
the strongest bulwark against the
"tortuous Vaccinations of those
who seek internal unrest as an ex-
cuse for foreign clashes"
Deploring the absence of Argen-
tina and Ell Salvador from this con-
ference, Mexico's chief executive ex-
pressed the hope that circumstances
soon would enable them to join the
common effort of the Americas.
The Argentine question has been
docketed for consideration as the
final business of the conference,
which is scheduled to end March S.
but a strong determination to pre-
vent any move toward recognition OF
the present Buenos Aires govern
ment already has become evident.
Paraguay demanded yesterday
that the question be given promi-
nent place on the agenda, but the
delegation chiefs, sitting as steer
ing committee, turned this down.
Ezequiel Padilla, Mexican foreign
minister and conference chairman
said in an interview that if any
delegates attempt to support Ar
gentina, the conference is prepared
to 60 into a detailed exposition oi
what the present regime there has
done.
Compromise Ruled Out.
Although Padilla declined to &c
into details, it is known that sew.
eral governments represented here
have prepared extensive dossiers or
the activities of Nazi agents in the
Argentine.
Padilla made it clear that he ex.
pected no compromise with the gov.
ernment of President Edelmiro Far
rell so long as it refrains from full
cooperation with the other coun.
tries for hemisphere security.
In tracing a broad picture Of tn,
last few years, President Camacht
warned that the Americas still g,
faced with the threat of totalitaritr
propaganda.
Turning to the economic pha3e,
of the conference, the President saie

out legislation, because of the salary
system.
Starting Salary $500.
At the present time, he explained,
the starting salary for Veterans
Administration doctors is $500.
This could not be offered to resi-
dents because it would upset the
whole residency system of hospitals
throughout the country, he said. On
the other hand, residents spend
about one-third of their time study
ing and could not be paid for non
productive work without special
legislation.
The pending bill would provide for
residents and offer them a salary
comparable to that which residents
are getting in other hospitals.
The other provision of the bill
which Gen. Hawley believes is es-
sential to the improvement of Vet
erans' Administration medical serv-
ices is one providing rs per cent
salary increase for officers ap-
pointed to the regular corps, certi-
fed by an American speciality board
and approved by the Surgeon Gen.
eral. Gen. Hawley said this pro-
vision would be an incentive for
the doctors to improve their, work.
"A number of men now toying
with the idea of staying In the
Army or Navy for the rest Of their
lives would come into the Veterans
Administration II we had more to
offer them and we would have more
if the bill passes" Gen. Hawley said.
Specialists Counted On.
Gen. Hawley's new program, of
which the bill is an integral part,
calls for close association with the
best specialists in every community
near Veterans Administration
hospital. This would be done
through affiliation with medical
schools or through organizing local
doctors as faculty, teaching resi-
dents in the hospitals.
He will meet in New York Oc-

kins and Columbia medical schools
to start working out a plan for af-
filiating with medical schools.
Medical school faculties, how
ever, won't be interested in coming
into the veterans hospitals unless
they can teach, and residents won't
come unless they get good train
ing, so we still have to have that
bill to establish residences" he
explained.
At present, his tours of veterans
hospitals have convinced him they
range from very good to very bad,
with a shortage of 1900 doctors to
complicate the situation. OF the
1900 doctors now serving hospitals,
he said, 1,700 are in uniform al
though some were with the Vet
erans' Administration before they
went into uniform and are expected
to stay with the service. OF the
1,700, Gen. Hawley said, $50 will
be released from the armed forces
by the end of the year.

Ar THIS moment his face lighted with sudden
inspiration The cigarette fell from his lips.
and he raised his arms slowly. slowly toward
the sky. elbows stiff, palms downward. His
head tilted back and his eyes looked up at the
cloudless blue that was capable Of supporting

The natives continued their dance, but their

mixture of words and melody. unlike anything
the natives had ever heard before. 1t might
have been a summoning of evil spirits, call
to the night to blot out the day, or an exhor-

followed suit until the entire tribe was grovel-

extended his plumaged crown to the young

WHEN the Lieutenant turned up at his base

Trawi guides through one hundred and fifty

stamp his feet, spring yelling into the air. and
lunge forward. his spear tip within inches OF the

The Lieutenant, his clothes tattered. his
face and hands streaked with scratches from
jungle thorns. stood very erect. Outwardly

could ever be, and his mind was working at

unlucky Friday, and two terrible days and
nights of hunger. thirst. mosquitoes. muck and
lacerating briars - these were bad enough.
But the crowning insult was yet to come.
Early in the morning of the third day he'd
been discovered by members of the Trawi,
the only cannibal tribe known to inhabit the
coastal section and they'd taken him about
twenty miles inland to their native village.
ACCORDING to the books, he was supposed
to make an impressive Grafton his captors natu-
rally wouldn't understand. give them a few
bright trinkets. and await the logical reward:
rest and food for the young white god, and
guides and supplies to help him return to his
base.
He was carried before the chief. but there
the scenario failed to develop according to
formula. Everything that he might have pre-
sented with dramatic flourish was stripped
away as booty - his fountain pen, several
coins. cigarette lighter, his wristwatch. and
even the automatic pistol he'd thought of as a
last-measure fstful of comfort.
He tried his Yankee talk on the chief, but
it didn't work. Old Sour-Puss only scowled and
grunted unintelligibly to the warriors waiting
impatiently in the background. Maybe the
chief hadn't read the rules; or maybe it was
just because he was Trawi.
At any rate. the Lieutenant now was in the
center of the mad ring of blacks - Like
neck within Tightening moose" he thought.
The natives were becoming more frenzied and
the spear jabs more frequent, the points some
times pricking his flesh.
Unconsciously the Lieutenant reached for a
cigarette. Withdrawing his hand from the
pocket of his jacket. he glanced down at the
