PRIVATE CAPITAL AND PUBLIC WORKS IN
LATIN AMERICA

During the last months much has been talked about
thesway In which the adequate economic development
of the Latin American countries can be achieved. There
are people who affirm that the investment of private
capital could afford the solution to the problem of under
development. Also, there are those who are of the
opinion that the desired development could only be
attained by the execution of public works under State
sponsorship. Of course, there are too those who think
that both things are needed.
Really, without going into considerations of a
technical order that correspond to the experts and Spe-
pecialsts on the matter, logic indicates that the Latin
American reality needs of the foreign private capital
and also of the funds coming from official negotiations
dinated, may achieve the economic development capable
Of el~eyating the living standards of the Latin American
people.
The capital for the public investments that the
State must necessarily sponsor Is called to fulfill a high
mission of economic and social Importance, provided
that said capital, naturally, is invested in works of
positive convenience, without falling into extremes of
exhibiciOnism and vanity. There are works that are
almost indispensable for the development of the Latin
American countries, to meet the needs of modern civil
I~ization, that could hardly be undertaken on the basis
of private capital, such as ports, airports, main highways
and r0ads, etc.
On the other hand, If depending only on the public
WORKS, without the participation of the private enter.
prises as a necessary complement, the desired develop
ment would not attain the level required for the solution
of the Latin American economic problem. 1t is there.

that If only they told their
husbands to quit work sooner
had insisted - they would
still have them. Maybe this
man would live to be 100. His
life expectancy at So is a long
way down the road. But he
can't be sure.
ABOUT THE OBJECTIONS
of his wife: Retirement means
a drastic drop in income. 1t
means a change, usually a
lowering of social status. 1t
means a loss of various privi-
leges. These things can af-
feet a wife'S thinking. And
while a wife should have far
more to say about her hus-
bands job and money than
she does have. in this case
the man is a better Judge.
About the warnings Of
friends: The advice of friends
is almost always a liability
when it concerns retirement.
Any persons own quiet wis
dom is usually more reliable.
About financial uncertain
ties in the future: They have
always been with us. This
man should put his savings
in the highest grade invest
mentS he can find, cut his
wants to fit the income and
take his chances.
Summary: He should retire,
take his trip. realize it is not
going to be as glamorous as
he thinks, use the trip to
map some activity he must
follow when he comes home,
start getting checkups with
the doctor every six months
from here on and start
teaching his wife Spanish.

clobbering as a result Of such
misinformation. he relates in
''Baruch, My Own Story"
Il heard that American
Spirits Manufacturing was O
good thing to buy. Finan-
cier Thomas Fortune Ryan
had expressed this opinion,
or so I was told by q man
close to Mr.. Ryan. Having
faith in Mr.. Ryan's sagacity,
I put everything I had into
American Spirits stock.
Contrary to expectations,
the fizz went out Of the stock.
Since I had left myself with
out cash reserves, ! was
forced to sell other holdings
to cover my margins. Within
q few weeks / was scraping
bottom. Rather sheepishly ]
admitted to Mr.. Ryan the
cause of my comedown in the

stock?' he asked.
mo, I said. I had never
asked him about, but I had
heard a man close to him say
that Ryan thought well Of it.
Never pay any attention
to what ] am reported to
have said to anybody else.
Ryan replied, "A lot Of people
who ask me questions have
no right to answers

STOP KILLING

Diagnosing Diabetes Is Up to Doctor

handle us oldsters with the
help of chlorpromazine. If
in order for us to live with
our children we have to take
dope to do it. well-it'S as
much the children's and the
grandchildren's fault as the
oldsters'. Please pass the
chlorpromazine all around!
The best advice have for
elderly people is: Don't live
with your children! Better
get a small room of your own.
Living with ones own children
means just giving up and
not having any more opinions
Of your own. I have some
nice children and grandchil-
dren but I live alone and like
it. What's more / didn't ask
them to help me find an
apartment; a very dear lady
friend helped me!
I have my own TV and can
select my own programs. Or
I can turn it of entirely if I
don't feel like listening. What
a satisfaction!
One of my grandsons asked
me: Grandma. how does it
seem to be old?" I replied:
We'll, I don't know. because
1 don't feel old. / just feel
like all you folks are catching
up to me. For instance, I
used to be over 40 times as
old as you are: now I'm not
even three times as old" All
he said to that was: oh"
! have pernicious anemia
and I have to take shots
besides medicine for the rest
of my life. But in spite of
my aches and pains-and my
age, which is way past 20
years. enjoy life. And /
don't make life miserable for
anybody else.
If this letter makes me
sound senile, I prefer being
the way I am instead of tax
ing chlorpromazine. Or hav-
ing my folks take it in order
to be able to stand me.
Sincerely, Mrs. B.
Rather than prescribe the
drug for you, I'd prefer to
save it for somebody who
needs it. And MY guess b
that you don't. Your philOs0-
ply Is much better than

What's the
Hidden Power
that leads
to SUCCESS?

Most people think an "nferority complex" is terrible
thing-a handicap from which you can never recover
Suppose then that you begin to read about familiar
fgures-people who seemed to have nothing in common
like Abraham Lincoln and Elsa Maxwell-Beethoven and
Agnes de Mle-Chopin composer of &udes and Charles
Atlas Worlds Strongest Man."
Suppose suddenly you clearly that these and other
people do hold something In common That they succeeded
not in spite Of but because Of their nferoty complexes
Suppose finally you discovered that everybody has an IN
ferOry complex But that some people have found out how
to use it-hOw to turn from handicap into prOdigiOus
source Of strength
Wouldn't you want to know hosU they did 4? Wouldn't you
like to know the secret these people have covered-the
secret which led them to success?
You'll learn the secret by reading "The Importance Of
Feeling Inferior-a Condensed Book in September Reods
Digest 1t explains the hidden power that famous people have
had to discover-often painfuly-for themselves.
Life Member of the New York Academy Of Science has
said Of this 1896 book by Marie Beynon Ray that can
Enormously assist the normal person to understand himself cnd

this book offers valuable key which open up whole
new life to you, whether you're woman a man
The Digest brings you condensation Of this surprising
book in the September ISSUE Sale-pus SO articles Of

and books. You'll especially want to read the first article in
the issue which tells what than one hundred thousand

from current magazines and leading books will save your time

Dear DR.. SteincrOhn: My
mother and her brother and
one of my grandparents had
diabetes. 1 am AZ and appar-
emily healthy. What 1 would
like to know is if there is a
way of discovering diabetes
early. l know l must be sus-
ceptible. NJ. b.
I have today received a re-
lease on the work of Julius
Pomeranze of New York Med
ical College. who made a study
of the histories of LAO dia-
betics. He said that diabetes
may be detected early and
treated by proper diet if one
recognizes certain symptoms
as possible indications of the
disease.
Symptoms must be eval-
uated as a whole by the physi-
cian," he stated, but indica-
lions which may well arouse
suspicion of incipient dia-
betes include a family history
Of the disease; obesity; de-
generative changes in the
nerves including pains shoot
ing down the legs and dis
turbances of sensations; cata-
racts and hemorrhages of the
eye; boils; psoriasis and vari-
Gus skin infections; enlarge
ment of the liver; disturb
ances of circulation in the
limbs; passing more than a
normal amount Of urine and
passing urine more than
once during the night; ex-
cessive thirst; coronary artery
disease and peripheral vascu-
lar disease; bad teeth and
gum infections; diminished
mental acuity."
I want to stress, however,
that you don't jump to your
own conclusions if you have
one or more of such symp-
toms. Only your doctor can
correctly evaluate the prob
lem. 81 would hate to think
that you went about dag
nosing diabetes in yourself
simply because you had a boil
or two: or because your den-
tist made the remark re-
Gently that your teeth are
bad and gums infected.
