Secretary of State Marshall must
feel keenly the absence of that
smooth and able specialist on Latin
America-SumnerW Welles. Mr.. Welles
was forced out of the State Depart
ment four years ago by petty jeal-
ousies and intrigues. He is an
exception to the rule that no one is
indispensable.
The calculated cool" attitude OF
most Latin American republics to-
ward the United States at Bogota,
where important results were ex-
pected in the light of the world
crisis, is due in great degree to our
meddling in Argentina politics for
several years.
Tried to Slap Down Peron.
Under Mr.. Braden's stewardship
Of the State Department division
which deals with Latin America we
tried to slap down President Juan
Peron. On the basis of creating a
common front against the Nazis,
we previously had interfered in the
domestic policies of Argentina.
The Latin Americans have not
forgotten or forgiven the fact that
on the eve of the presidential elec-
tions in Argentina the United States
issued a blue book, whose purpose
was to defeat the present chief
executive Of Argentina, .,,.,u.k ,a.
The blue book boomeranged,. even
more than did President Truman's
announcement Thursday of his re-
quest to Congress for $500 900 900
for new loans to the South Ameri-
can republics. r-ss-
America is the youngest of the
worlds great powers, yet since the
end Of World War II 1t has acted
like a sugar daddy" in interna-
tional affairs. Our leaders counted
on buying friendship and peace with
dollars rather than on convincing
the other democratic nations that
we are determined to stand by them
with everything at our disposal.

On the Other Hand
Chairman Hartley's Committee
Holds Up National Defense Bill

to win wars in these days. This was
indicated during the last war when
the armed services rejected 659, ,392
men-enough to supply forty divi-
sioAs-on the sole ground of edu-
cational deficiency. Not only that,
but the armed services accepted
302. 1888 illiterates and took the time
to teach them to read and write. II
reasonable educational facilities had
been available in all States, the
armed services would have been
spared this task and loss of time
Crux Of the Problem.
The crux Of the problem which
the education bill seeks to solve Is
the inequality Of educational OPP
portunity between the various
States. In effect the States with
higher income are asked to assist
their less fortunate sister States
In doing so, however, they would
assist themselves. When hundreds
of thousands of young men in the
poorer States are rejected 1t means
that just that many more must be
taken from the States that have
been able to educate their sons. It
is fact that the better educated
States furnished higher percent
age of their population for duty in
the last war than did the ill-edu-
Gated States.
For example, educational def
cheney accounted for only Ia per
cent of reflections In the State OF
Washington; only 2.3 per cent in
Illinois. But in South Carolina it
was 80 per cent and In Alabama
289 per cent.
We may never have that next
war, but the conflict between de-
mocracy and totalitarianism will
continue, and it is a conflict we
want to win. We can't win 1t merely
by telling ourselves and the rest OF
the world about the advantages OF
our system. We have to prove it
One OF the necessary proofs is en-
bodied in the bill now buried In

very often. This has prevented his
calling the committee together to

ported favorably last summer. The

tensive hearings. was 6 to 2. The
bill Is substantially the same aS the
Taft Smith Cooper Tobey =
Hill Thomas Ellender Chavez bill
passed by the Senate last week by
a vote of 68 to "a.
Some time ago Mr.. Hartley an
nounced his intention to retire from
Congress at the end of this term,
and since then 1t has been reported
that he will become associated with
the National Association Of Manu-
facturers, a report he has not denied
or confirmed. In the past Mr.. Hart
ley has expressed himself as well
disposed toward an aid to education
bill The NAM has been opposed.
Poll Shows Bill to Pass.
A poll of the full committee has
revealed that. given an opportunity
to vote, it will follow the lead Of the
subcommittee and the Senate. A
poll Of the House membership has
revealed that the bill will pass.
Advocates of the measure were
given some encouragement a few
days ago by Speaker Martin, when
he told a reporter there is more pub
lie interest in the bill than in any
thing else before Congress. How
ever, he said, national security must
come first. He said this just after
the House, with his encouragement
had cheerfully voted more money
for China than the annual cost Of
the education bill.

This Changing World
Latin American Amity Can't Be Bought
With Dollars, Bogota Conference Shows

Insofar as Latin American re.
publics are concerned, the resent
ment against our meddling in Their
domestic affairs in the name o1
unity against the Axis Is stronger
than 1t appeared to be in the past
Even Brazil, which has not always
been on the friendliest terms with
Argentina, objected to our inter-
ference in its neighbor's domestic
affairs, particularly after Presi-
dent Peron complied with most OF
the wartime requests by the Ameri-
can Government.
The American republics resented
equally Washington's gentle pres
sure" to resume diplomatic rela-
tions with the U. S. S. r., thus en-
abling Russian conspirators to start
their subversive activities all over
the Southern Hemisphere. The re-
suit of that policy has been power
full communistic activity in all the
South and Central American re-
publics.
Pressure Resented.
The denunciation of Argentina's
government as pro-Nazi when its
administration had broken of
diplomatic relations with Germany
but refused to declare war made a
bad impression throughout the
southern continent.
Some Of our sister republics may
not have approved Buenos Aires
stand themselves, but they resented
strongly the American Govern
ment's pressure and the inspired
vituperations against Argentina in
the American press and radio.
Top Washington officials who
were responsible for our policies in
Latin America apparently did not
understand the Latin sensitiveness
and psychology. Warnings that we
were taking the wrong tack fell on
deaf ears in the State Department,
and particularly in Mr.. Braden's
division, where 'ideology" frequent
lye took precedence over practical
politics. -,s.s
Europe and Asia are in confusion
today, and there is at least an even
chance Of their suffering the
tragedy OF another warA-and of
our involvement in it. In such an
event this country will have to rely
more than ever on the friendship
and loyalty : of the Southern
Hemisphere.
The Bogota Conference has proved
to us that such loyalty and friend
ship cannot be purchased with dol
lars. It must be created by q far
more skillfM diplomacy than has
been practiced in the past few years.
1t may be that the Old World-Eu-
rope and Asia-will not recover any
time soon. despite the shots in the
arm We are giving them now. In
that case the Western Hemisphere
will offer the only haven for west
ern civilization. Our Government
has never considered such an even-
tuality with sufficient solicitude.

Fire Safety Rules
Put in Digest Form
For Building Owners

A digest Of the new fire safety
rules scheduled to become effective
January is being compiled by the
District building inspectors office
and will be ready by the end of this
week, Robert H. Davis, director of
inspections, said today.
The digest was whipped together
to meet the demands of building
owners who will have to make
changes in their structures-some of
major proportions-under the new
egress regulations, Mr.. Davis said.
At present, the only copies Of the
egress regulations are a half-dozen
photostatic copies which are being
overworked by the inspectors who
are checking the buildings.
Mr.. Davis said the digest would
not be in the actual language of
the egress regulations but would
give general idea of what will be
required under the law.
Meanwhile, q team of eight in
spectors is at work on the inspec-
ton job which involves more than
10000 structures. Few of the more
than 1000 inspected 50 far could
pass the test without changes
ranging from minor to major struc-
tunal alterations.
Building owners will have 30 days
from January or from the date of
receipt of notices from the build
ing inspectors Office, if they have
not all been sent out by that time,
in which to have the required work
done

would legalize blood and urine tests
for drunkenness, but which would

tests compulsory, It was this COM
