THE AMERICAN UNION

In the face of a potential enemy of the dimensions of the Russian universal state, a nation carefully guards it's own potentialities. The most serious problem in wartime that faces the United States is the supply of few essentials, such as raw rubber, tin and other met als, which are obtainable on the American continents and some of which must be imported. Uranium, which is more important in war than in peace, is available in Can ada; bauxite in ample quantities is available in Surinam, British Guiana, Curacao and Jamaica; tin from Bolivia and copper from Chile i; antimony comes from Cuba; cobalt from Canada. In a word, war re- ouires integration n a defensible area.
 From that standpoint, after our frightful blunders in China which the State Department is respon- sibile, the 10000 mile supply line from cur west coast to southeastern Asia is too long and too difficult to maintain against a fleet of Schnorkel submarines operating out of the bays and harbors of Soviet China. Because of our errors, it will be difficult to protect either Japan or the Philippines or even Guam and Hawaii Our first l.le of defense, in actual war, has been pushed back by Soviet Russia, to the west coast, to Los Angeles, San

Francisco and Seattle.
 Taking for granted our favorable relations with Canada, the problem then is, what is our position in Latin America? To maintain more of a union than was achieved at Chapultepec in 1945, it is essential to cultivate not only the self in- terest but the respect of the Latin American countries. With the ex- ception of Brazil, these countries are culturally related to Spain. They are all Roman Catholic, and that term needs to be understood, for while to most Americans, the Ro- man Catholic Church is a relig- ious sect, to Roman Catholics 1t is a culture, a way of life. For in- stance, a Mexican may be anti clerical, but if he is not Marxist, he remains a Catholic end his wife and children will ke trained in the Catholic faith.
 To refuse to recognize Spain and to be offensive to Spain, while re- cognizing Tito, can only strike Latin as monstrously illogical, and seeking for logic, he reaches the conclusion that Spain has been re- jected by the United States because in that country Catholicism defeat o<y Ac t0y. of Spain is the only country in Flu rope where Christianity and Com munisum fought it out and Christ ianity was wholly victorious.
 If the foreign and defense pol icies of the United States are to be integrated. Latin America is more important than Europe, and Spain is more important than any country in Europe because of its cultural influence upon Latin Am erica. A sound policy is an inte grated enc and this country is on dangerous grounds when it's for eign and defense policies are op- | erated in conflict.
 During the Roosevelt Administrs, ticn when the State Department functioned with adoration for Soy. ! jet Russia, Communism made tre- mendous inroads in Latin America particularly in Cuba and Mexico. Lombardo Toledano, the leader of Mexican Communism, was a great factor in the development of a Marxist enclave While such influ- ences have become weakened in the Latin countries, they are by no means dead.
 Peron represents our greatest er- TOT in Latin America. The United States opposed his rise to power which he has never quite forgotten. Our opposition was based on the utterly false assumption that We could pick between good and bad dictators; that Stalin was a good dictator and Peron a bad one. But Peron turned out to be very suc- l ISoS1 LII OI4S, W4lO iIOb Ili4y SStdU4ioll- cd himself over the Argentine, but has also pursued an independent attitude, almost a competitive at- titude yis-a-vis American policy.
 This country, in its defensive program, must make sure of the Argentine. It could prove to be an Achilles heel, the weak spot that imrerils. In fact, in a knockout war, it might prove necessary to bring wheat and meal from the Argentine to the United States, should our means of transportation be dislocated.
 The se-called good neighbor pol icy,' was so inadequately and ann ateurishly handled, that, in spite of huge expenditures, its lasting results are not visible. To win the next war, we need to be sure of both American continents.

LOST REVENUE

Several members of Congress are urging crack down tax chiseers and plugging up of loopholes in the laws of bolstering the Fed- era Treasury before it becomes to levy even taxes. One Congressman has placed the estl- mate of lost Federal revenues through evasion and crafty use of the law high $5000000O0O year, which nearly much the estimated deficit for the current fiscal year
 The figure of S5,OOOOOOOOO for tax evasion prob ably is high but there is little doubt that the true figure does run to fantastic amounts Every person who pays the taxes he legitmately owes has right to resent any illegal evasion of the same obligation on the part of his fellow citizens and the persons who are carrying the burden have every reason to expect the government to the most energetic means in collecting all taxes which are properly owed and beyond this to amend revenue laws to eliminate Ioopholes available to certain shckers Furthermore the collection of unpaid but legally owed taxes is a very profitable business. The same Coneressmen who using crackdown on tax chls- eers say that every S1 spent on personnel neces sarv to do the job at least s20 will be forthcoming Ill taxes which would not otherwise be collected.

"peace Offensive"

The State Department, Pentagon and Atomic Commission have been alcrtsd to 6 peace offensive" from Moscow, in which the Russians would pretend to agree to interna- ticnal control. It might come in a d, amatic announcement from the Krsmlin that the USSR had per- fected a hydrogen bomb.
 The strategy behind the peace offensive" is to confuse American opinion and delay the Hhomb pro- feet. The Russians may say, for example, we know how to make the E-bomb. but for humanity's sake We won't make one if you don't.
 All this came up at secret ses- sion of the National Security Coun- cil at which President Truman made it clear that we cannot agree to any international control plan t.gt does not include inspection.
 Meanwhile, it is definitely estab- nshed that the theory of the hy- dtogen bomb is no secret. The first leak from the US. was an article by John McCloy, then Asst Seey. of War, in 1946 revealing we had plans for such bomb. The piece was written for an obscure amy ordnance publication.
 Furthermore, Senator Douglas oi Illinois, in no way connected with atomic research, explained to bug eyed atomic official the whole theory of the H-bomb, and he merely figured it from reading Fin stein and the Smyth report.
 Douglas, incidentally, said that he had pondered long over the hydrogren bomb and had come tc the conclusion we must make ths bomb.
 Meanwhile, Chairman Lilienthal will soon be available for lecture tour in opposition to the H-bomb

A s33-a-week cut in wages and a sick industry are back of the swelling chorus of miners grumbles against their onetime God, John L. Lewis.
 The revolt against the aging Lewis is so strong in Pennsylvania ana West Virginia that his old crony, CIO President Phil Murray could snatch the miners away from him. Murray is a former UNIV lieutenant who broke with Lewis.
 The miners are chiefly up in arms over the three-day week which reduces their take-home pay from S7e a week to s45, but the

Dishwoshing Chores at Night
BY Dr.. Paul Popenoe

The question you raise can be
put ona little broader basis, Mrs,
o. Just what is the responsibility
of a husband, in the matter of
dishwashing and similar chores?
A recent national survey showed
that three husbands out Of every
five help with the dishwashing, at
least occasionally, and three out
of four help similarly with drying
the dishes. But only one in seven
does the dishwiping regularly. II
your husband has been that one,
you have an unusual husband,
Mr.. O. Tell him so. 1t may do
him good!
If wife and husband both
have fu1l-time jobs outside the
home. they should divide up the
household chores. In fact, they
should reduce them by having a
small place and taking more meals
out. Husbands usually do not
expect a wife to work outside all

A television set certainly does
keep the family together at home
too much so, according to Mrs.
o. "We bought a TV set for
Christmas" she explains. IT
thought it would be a great thing
to keep the children off the
streets. But I hadn't figured they
were going to sit up so late every
night watching it that they would
always be sleepy in the morning.
It's hard to get them out of bed,
and they are not in good shape
to go to school.
But that isn't the worst of it,
DR.. Popenoe. My husband has
gone wild over it. He used to help
me with the dishes after supper,
but now he won't leave the living
room because he wants to see
some show on the TV. / don't
think this is fair. Can you sug-
gest any way in which I can get
him to recognize his responsible
ity?"

day. and then come home and
do a full-time job in the home.
But, you'll say, your work at
home is Just as heavy as a job
outside, Mrs. o. You're probably
correct. However, at least you
can organize it in your own way.
If the children are in school most
of the day. you have some time
to rest. You can probably save
a good deal more time, If you
plan accordingly.
In short, your husband won't
think it is his solemn duty to help
with the dishes, unless your sit
uation is different from that of
most wives.
The novelty will probably wear
off the TV set pretty soon. In
the meanwhile you can let the
children do the dishes-postpone
them to 15-minute stretch
when the program Is not so en-
thralling-or you can do them
yourself.

You can look for more meat
