HOW TO RmE LATINs

The State Department is trying to straighten out snarled situa- tion inherited from the Stettinius- Hull regime, now almost causing revolution in Ecuador. It is the U. S. naval base on. the Galapagos Islands, off Panama.
 Day after Pearl Hsrbor, Ecuador voluntarily offered us a base on these strategic islands. U. s. troops have been there ever Since. But with the war well over, Ecuador cans are beginning to get little jittery about the continued pre- sence of these troops. So also, in- cidentally, are the Brazilians re- garding U. s. bases on their soil. Neither helps our now badly de- teriorated good-neighbor policy.
 During the Hull -Stettinius era, Ecuador asked the Export Import Bank for Q commercial loan. Whereupon the State Department immediately jumped into the pie ture with abrupt notice that there would be no loan unless the United States got permanent peacetime base on the Galapagos Islands.
 This sent Ecuadorean blood sky high. Like other Latin Americans, Ecuadoreans will cooperate in a common cause, but get indignant when someone tries to stay on their sovereign soil, especially in return for q few dollars.
 Since the State Departments un- fortunate faux pas. therefore, we have gotten nowhere in negotiating for base in the Galapagos, and the Ecuadoreans are getting sorer and sorer at the continued presence of U. s. troops.
 The Summer Welles policy of handling these things-he was the real father of good-neighborliness- was a joint overall plan for the defense of the hemisphere. For in- stance, the USA would give one or two surplus cruisers and destroy CTS to Ecuador and send U. $. na- val officers to help train the Ecua- dorean Navy. In return. Ecuador would give the U. s. Navy a peace time base on Galapagos.
 The Welles idea was to do the same thing with Brazil-perhaps bringing token force of Brazilian troops up to the United States or the Panama Canal to cooperate with the American Army and Navy, while we kept small force at one CT two strategic air bases in Brazil.

Cinchona Plantation
Washington Post)


 The abandonment of useful projects after World War I was over is now old and well-known story. We came fully appreciate the short-sghtedness of some of these actions when World War II was upon us previous failure provide adequately for national dsfense seemed to involve criminal negligence when viewed in retrospect. Yet today are in some instances following a very similar course.
 During the recent war we caught with an insufficient supply of quinne. The War Department concluded that it necessary in view of the great importance of controlling materials, to launch cinchona project in the Western Hemisphere where 1t could not be taken over by enemies controlled by foreign cartes Costa Rica selected as the country where cnchona could best be grown in this hemisphere 25-year agreement for the growing of cinchona in that for the United States con- cluded and ratified after considerable debate by the Costa Rican Congress in 1914. An area of virgin jungle was selected for the experiment. road to built 400 of forest land cleared; and the Humber used for the construction of permanent camp buildings.
 Into this project went the high-quality cinchona seed rescued from the Philippine Islands after the fall of Bataan. Through cooperation of the War Depart ment and the FEA approximately 150 have been planted with 350O0o cnchona trees. More than two million seedlings have also been started in connection with the project. With all this preliminary work complished, however, ways and means of liqudating the project under discussion.
 A period of 10 years will be required to bring the plantation to full fruon. To abandon it now would involve gross loss and would smack of bad faith in relations with a small Central American republic And of course such liquidation would defeat the pur poses fer which the plantation established-to nsurethe production of antimaaral materials where they would be readily accessible in wartime The long range value of the undertaking to the United States and to the Latin American republics was clearly indicated when the agreement concerning it made to extend 25 years
 That agreement cannot be reckessly upset without consigning many atin-American victims of malaria to death We cannot help thinking that the talk of liquidating the project is extremely short sighted that this planning should rather itself with putting the cnchona plantation perma nent basis.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compeP'
THURSDAY, JANUARY 31

On this last day of the month conflicting planetary influences are active but there is a strong benefic aspect.
 HEART AND HOME
 Midwinter illnesses will be prev alent and contagious diseases may be increased. Home nursing should be studied by every woman in household.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Many war veterans, handicapped by lingering effects of severe wounds now will be valuable in varied lines of business.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 According to the stars juvenile delinquency will he reduced by pro viding centers of amusement for young folk of all ages. The seers declare that every district should have it's special clubhouse and play ground where children govern them selves as far as possible.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Untoward incidents involving United States servicemen may be precipitated in Europe where defeat ed foes plot to discredit their con- querors. This is time for our men to be extremely cautious in their relations with foreigners.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of much suc- cess and happiness. They should, however, be wary in love affairs.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be intensely ambitious and able to gain success. They may be individual and temperamental.

TWO SERIOUS ERRORS

One trouble, of course, is the fact that Truman let himself be rushed into abolition of the War Labor Board, the agency which fixed wages during the war.
 Insiders admit privately that this was the biggest domestic error of the Truman Administration It was put over partly by Reconverter John Snyder whom Truman insists on keeping despite his repeated fumbles; also by Secretary Lew Schwellenbach who wanted all la Dor problems placed under his La Dor Department.
 After sss,s-;sl.-ig tae War Labor Board, Truman realized his mis- take, and begged it's members to stay on. Having been kicked ia the pants, however. they refused. His fac.-tinding commissions now op- crate as sCmi-substie4ses But the Economic Stah.lization Act is still on the books, and under it Truman could either create a new War La- bar Board CT give his fact-finding commissions power to enforce their decisions.
 All Of which has convinced in siders that the costly steel strike could have been ayerted if Truman had been a little tougher and had a statesman instead of a funbler running his domestic reconyersion.
 Note-Iwo most Important per sonnel changes, affecting the en- tire nation, occurred when Tlu- man transferred able Judge Fred Vinson from War Reconyerter to take Morgenthau's place as Secre- tary of the Treasury. and when he abruptly fired VIII Davis, astute Economic StabiIizer.
