Secretary Hall made a forthright speech, in which he called upon the nations of this hemisphere to band solidly together in commercial and military ties; to oppose European aggression of any kind. Mr. Hull also roundly castigated European dictators for their ruthless attacks on small, practically defenseless states, intimating that might happen South of the Rio Grando unless unity is achieved. Most of the Latin American foreign ministers present, paid lip service to this doctrine. But there were strong undercurrents of dissension. In many cases, South American economic interests come into direct conflict with ours, and South American business was afretid it would get the short end of the stick if the Hull program were adopted in toto. On top of that, the Axis powers have unquestionably made serious inroads into Latin America. Certain countries, notably Brazil, have been largely settled by Germans, and Hitler’s agents have been working for years to convert them to the Nazi ideology. All of South America is, of course, of Latin origin, and Spanish and Italian influences are strong. Italy is an active German ally, and FranCo-dictatel Spain is Hitler's passive ally. However, it looks as if the majority of Latin American governments are genuinely afraid of Axis activity, and are determined to remain Republics. After endless hours of talk, negotiation and conciliation, the 21 foreign ministers present, agreed upon a three-point policy of far-reaching significance. As reported by J. C. Stark, Ap man on the scene, the points prey ide: 1. The status of European possessions in this hemisphere is of vital cimeern tt> all the Republics, I use your phone to call the depot and tell them to keep my trunk there?” * * * Second-Handed Betty—Las night George gave me his heart. Ruth—Well, he gave you damaged goods, dearie, because the night before he told me I’d broken it. * * * Ace—“What’s the- best hand you ever held?” Spade—“It belonged to a blonde in Hollywood.” * * * Worth Learning “Maggie,” said Angus to his wife, “here is a ticket for tonight’s conjuring show, and when the conjurer comes to that part twhere he takes a teaspoon o’flour and one egg and makes 20 omelettes, watch verra, verra close.” * * * Policeman—“How did you happen to hit the other car?” and if necessary they will be temporarily taken over and administered by the Republics in order to safeguard continental security. This is a direct slap in the face to any ambition Hitler may have to seize English and French possessions in our part of the world, and amounts to Latin American avowal and support of the Monroe Doctrine. 2. An economic plan is to be prepared whereby relief is to be given to countries which have lost vital European markets. At the same time, an inter-American trading system is to be developed in order to prevent European states from enforcing unfair trade terms upon the American nations. 3. All the Republics will work together in fighting ‘fifth column” activities. Alleged abuse of diplomatic privilege by foreign representatives is to be investigated. This is also a direct slap at Hitler—German consuls and other officials have been among the worst offenders, and have used their offices almost openly to promote trouble. Germans have boasted that it is within their power to produce revolutions within half a dozen Latin American countries whenever desired In all this the United States will be. the leader. It will have to put up most of the money to back any trade, cartel or other economic plan, and if military action becomes necessary it will have to provide practically all of the ships, soldiers, airplanes and guns. From a military point of view, Latin America is extremely weak, and so are most of the. Republics from the economic point of view. And that brings up a question that is being increasingly asked these days: Is the United States embarked upon an imperial policy ? Only time can answer that, bűt a good guess is “yes!” We have always made * fetish of opposi-Motorist—“It really was my wife’s negligence. She fell asleep in the back seat.” * * * Indirect Confession “And how’s your wife?” “Oh, she’s been nursing a grcuch all week.” “Say, I didn’t know you had been laid up, too!” * * *.

Hall. All members are requested to be present as there will be important business to be transacted. Fraternally, KALMAN SZABÓ, President. JULIUS SHADI, Secretary. tion to imperialism^—even as, at times, we have ruthlessly followed the traditional imperial path of conquest, And in these discordant days, it may be that imperialism is being forced upon us, whether we like it or not. Most experts are convinced that we must maintain the status quo, or a policy favorable to us, in Latin America, no matter what the cost. Give the Axis real strength there, they say, and we would sink into the obscurity of a third-rate power, dependent upon possible enemies for existence and favors. That means that Latin America must follow our lead—and if the Republics won’t do it willingly, they must in soma way be forced to do it. The time when force may be necessary has not arrived. All hope it will never arrive. But, come what may, it is a very safe bet that Uncle Sam will be a bigger and more aggressive figure than ever in this entire hemisphere, from the Arctic ocean to the far tip of Smith America. Man is but a worm. He comes wiggling along, then a chicken gets him.--------------O-------------SO WHY WORRY I wonder why folks worry. There are only two reasons for worry; either you are successful or you are not successful. If you are successful there is nothing to worry about; if you are not successful there are only two things to worry about.

You are either going to get well or you are going to die. If you are going to get well there is nothing to worry about; if you are going to die there are only two things to worry about. You are either going to heaven or you are not going to heaven; and if you are going to heaven there is nothing to worry about; if you are going to the other place you’ll be so d... busy shaking hands with old friends you won’t have time to worry—so why worry?
