Latin America:
Dulles Trip

Secretary Dulles spent two and
a half days last week with Brazil's
President Juscelino Kubitschek in
Rio de Janeiro. Mr.. Dulles said
his trip to Brazil was mott
waited by his concern that the
Organization Of American States
failed ito bring together at reg

listers of the member states" But
the talks we're reported as cover
ing a wide range of subjects, in
GLIDING economic assistance, the
Communist threat, and collective
defense.
At the conclusion Of the talks,
Brazilian sources said the Sec
rotary and President Kubitschek
had agreed on plans to organize a
meeting of the 81 American presi-
dents to initiate new develop
ment programs for Latin America.
But after Mr.. Dulles had returned
to Washington, State Department
officials indicated that this sum

specifically agreed to.

been made 10 accept Brazilian
coffee, cotton and other products
in exchange for Communist oil
and other products.
Seek U. S. Credits
The Soviets also seek big credits
in the United States for purchases
of machinery and other industrial
equipment.
The largest Soviet foreign trade
with free-world countries in 1857,
according to Soviet figures. was
done with Finland and Britain.
The trade with Finland is a hang
over from the immediate postwar
period when the Firms built up
industries to satisfy Soviet repa-
rations demands. These industries
are unable to compete generally
with similar industries in other
Western countries and must con-
tinue to find their markets in
the USSR.
The Soviet trade with Britain
is highly varied and represents in
part a renewal Of the prewar
Soviet trading pattern in which
Britain was RusSia's largest for
eign customer and source Of for
eign commodities. Communist
bloc countries as a whole also do
a substantial trade with West
Germany. But the Communist
bloc countries have never sue
ceeded in making big inroads into
markets in more industrially
advanced nations.
It's in the underdeveloped ma
lions and those dependent on
export of one or a few commod-
tiles that the Red trade oppor-
tunities are consistently greatest.

Perhaps the most discouraging
comment the commission made

equal the interest on the capital.

A Political Promise
The former Liberal administra-
ton, which at one stage was eager
to build. the st. Lawrence Seaway

patton, SHE'D away from the South
Saskatchewan project more no
ticeably than ever after the in
quiry. The Conservatives, who had
been out Of Office since 1885,
promised that II elected they
would carry out the project.
That promise is main reason
why the Tories swept SaSkatche-
wan as well as the rest Of the
nation in last springs election
political results which left them
no alternative but to carry out
this promise. Last month the gov
eminent signed an agreement to-
build the main dam and two ancil-
larry ones, to maintain them. and
after 10 years to give them to the
Province of Saskatchewan along
with warranty against defective
construction and a guarantee to
reimburse the province for any
damages paid as a result Of defec-
tive construction. The province
will build and operate the power
plant and the network Of irriga-
ton canals. charging consumers
for power and water.
However. Ottawa's part in the
project is not wholly a political
payoff. The project fits ideally
into the governments anti-reces-
sion program Of public works 1t

struction workers for up to eight
years, and will generally spur the
economy. Viewed as a make

vantage Of being valuable con-
tribution to the economy Of the
prairies, an asset Of social as well
as economic worth, and at least
as justifiable as the highways and
railroads the government intends
to build into the Far North.

In Iceland. a small country de-

The basis for the large trade
between Communist countries and

In Burma the Communists made
use of the rice surplus of that fer

deal. They bartered Communist

factor in Burmese foreign trade,
accounting for more than one
seventh of both Burmese exports

This kind Of trading, based on
Communist willingness to accept

OTTAWA-The biggest irriga-
ton and power project in Canada
will be started on the South
Saskatchewan River this month
despite knowledge that the plan
is economically unsound.
In magnitude the South Sas-
katchewan River Project falls not
far short of the st. Lawrence
River Power Project now being
completed by the New York State
Power Authority and the Ontario
Electric Power Commission. In
some ways it is bigger. For ex-
ample, the SSRP dam will be
2O5 feet high and more than
5000 feet long. The st. Lawrence
power dam is 100 feet high and
$500 feet long.
The SSRP can also be COM
pared with the Garrison Dam
Project on the Missouri River,
in cost as well as in size. The
American project cost roughly
$3.50 millions; the new Canadian
project will cost somewhere be-
tween $3.50 millions and $500 mil
lions.
The huge earth fill dam across
the South Saskatchewan VIII
create a reservoir extending l40
miles upstream and 30 miles down
the connecting Qu'Appelle valley.
The impounded water eventually
will irrigate some 455,000 acres
of semi-arid wheat lands, so the
basis Of the areas economy can
be shifted from wheat to live
stock and speciality crops. The
water also will generate a mini
mum of $50 million XVIII OF cleo
tricity year.
But II Is Unsound
But a royal commission which
studied the project at great
length six years ago concluded
that "the economic returns :.

1t reached this conclusion partly
in light Of American experience
with comparable projects. One Of
the three commissioners was an
American, DR.. John A. Widtsoe Of
Salt Lake City. and the commits
sion drew literally on the expert
ence and professional knowledge
Of United States engineering con-
sultants.
The commission reported that
on the basis of 1852 prices. the
project would cost $24o million.
Prices have advanced since then.

Communist trade tentacles
reach out all over the world
these days-but the Reds score
their greatest trade successes
with countries which have sur
pluses they can't sell easily on
free-world markets.
To such countries. many Of
which are highly dependent for
their economic well-being on only
one or a few commodities. the
Communists hold out attractive
proposals TO trade needed Com
munist-bloc goods for the surplus
or unsold commodities.
When such deals work out. as
they have in many cases, they
sometimes result in a situation
in which the country ends up in
considerable degree dependent on
the new Communist-bloc markets.
When they don't work out they
still often result in advantage to
Communist countries through the
good impression made by the
original offers.

"May I carry your books?
was the question recently asked
by a cute little miss of a boy
at Swanson Junior High Schooi
in Arlington. Va.
No. she wasn't a crazy
mixed-up kid She was on the
ball. for it was Geek Week.
During this week Girls Extend
Every Kindness.
They were quite busy strain
ing their delicate little backs
to carry their boy friends
books, to open doors. to buy
their dates cokes at the near
est drugstore and to walk them
home in the afternoon and to
school in the morning.
At the end of Geek Week the
girl was responsible for asking
her boy friend to a Geek Week
dance, and to pay his way.
But don't worry. the girls
will get back at the boys dur
ing Beck Week. This time the
boys will be loaded down with
seemingly lead-lined notebooks
and will be kept busy perform
ing the little politenesSes We
think they should be doing
every day during the year.
If you are wondering where
all this takes place we'll tell
you about it. Swanson Junior
High School is located at
Washington boulevard and
Patrick Henry drive in Arling-
ton The school was built in
1899 and named for Claude
Augustus Swanson. Secretary
of the Navy and former Gov
ernor and Senator of Virginia,
who died that same year.

Code of Ethics

Last year the students at
Swanson drew up their Code Of
Ethics. This contains rules by
which the students try to con-
duct themselves. This is our
code:
"AS a student of Swanson
Junior High. I will strive to dis
play honesty. courtesy and
good friendly manners: to be
loyal to school and classmates:
to encourage and foster proper
conduct and good sportsman
ship: to promote clean thought.
word and deed; to respect the
rights and privileges of others;
to use properly what the school
offers to better myself; to re-
fleet a good reputation toward
my school through proper con-
duct in public: to put forth
best efforts at all times: to
maintain a wholesome attitude
toward my school,"
Swanson has a well-equipped
cafeteria in which hot and
cold lunches may be pur-
chased. but the best part about
lunch is not the food but the
gossip. At every lunch period
girls and boys hurry up and
down the rows between the
tables to spread the latest
news.
