ARGENTINE GIGOLOS The Good Neighbor policy has been promoted in many ways, from tariff lowering to flag raising, but never before has attention been given to the offending gigolos of Hollywood. Now, however, the combined good will of Nelson Rockefeller and John Hay (Jock) Whitney is being exerted to reform the Hollywood practice of making every gigolo an Argentine. Mr. Rockefeller, who is the govn of ernment's efforts, has dispatched Mr. Whitney to Hollywood to see what the film industry can contribute to the Good Neighbor program. He will make at least one specific suggestion, namely that Argentina does not like to be represented as a nation of gigolos. The gigolo mischief was corrected earlier with respect to France. We had a big film market over there, and when French opinion objected to Hollywood practice of making every gigolo a Frenchman, Hollywood bowed, and picked on Argentina. I '- - r r"1 'if Col. C. R.

They said that in rank violation of the specific platform, Mr. Roosevelt planned to debase the gold content of the dollar. Public reaction adverse to Mr. Roosevelt was so alarming that something had to be done about it Mr. Roosevelts recright now. ord for keeping promises as governor of New York was nothing to write home about There was however, one man in our camp whose honor was so bright and his knowledge so profound that his word would be accepted at absolute par by all the people. His name was Carter Glass. He was ill, but our need was great enough to drag him from a sick bed. After conference with the candidate, he went on the air and delivered the most devastating blast of the campaign, repudiating the Republican charge as an assault on the credit of the United States. Mr. Roosevelt called it a "magnificent phillipic and then proceeded to register gravity, earnestness and sincerity in indignant denial. Words could not have been invented to make his promise clearer or more emphatic, that no such terrible thing would ever be done. Six months after his election, Mr. Roosevelt violated the promise of his platform, the promise of Senator Glass, his own most solemn promise. WILLKIE AND JOE PEW During the campaign Mayor LaGuardia said that Joe Pew dictated the nomination of Mr. Willkie at What are the facts? Philadelphia. I know and like Joe Pew. He is forthright but an Economiq Royalist with the courage of his conviction. He pays the best wages in industry. He takes care of his workers in sickness and in haalth. His men will tel you that he is the best employer they know, but he is frankly a political reactionary. At Philadelphia he was enthusiastic for Robert Taft. All the politicos were against Wendell Willkie. Mr. Pew actually did control the Pennsylvania delegation. When the critical ballot came, he missed the boat After sticking consistently with Taft on that last ballot when Pennsylvanias time to vote came, the state passed. If Joe Pews Intention was to push Willkie over and claim credit, he certainly missed the bus. Before Pennsylvania could vote, the upsurge of popular opinion for Willkie had been so great that he was nominated before Pennsylvania voted. Every newspaper man knows the truth of what I say. Joe Pew never came out for Willkie until others had nominated him. "One reason for the defeat of A1 Smith In 1928 was that he went through the Middle West surrounded on the back platform, not by those prairie roughneck neighbors of g mine, but by friends New York and Tammany politicians They may be all right but they can never click in the great open spaces. Als answer to criticism was: "I am not ashamed of my friends. Take me as I am or not at all." That is high principle, but not good politics, t Willkie hadnt been a particular friend or familiar of Joe Pew. But when he yent through Pennsylvania during the campaign Joe hopped the train and stayed. That wasnt 's fault It was just his Innate sense of hospitality.

Mayor LaGuardia jumped up and down squeaking, "reckless, irresponsible, false. The mayor said that if Mr- - Willkie had made such a statement in New York about an insurance company, he could have been arrested and sent to jail. He called it an insult to congress and an attempt to frighten the aged, women, children and the blind and "our government has never repudiated a legal obligation. Every one knows, that I would like to have Mr. LaGuardia show me the law that would put a stockholder of an insurance company in New York in jail for protesting a course of waste and extravagance inevitably leading to bankruptcy and the loss of policyholders benefits. It was ridiculous. There is no such law except as to false statements. We are all stockholders in this government Mr. Willkie was completely correct and well within his rights. MEN OR WOMgjl 1 . r Latm-America- EUROPEAN COMMUNISM One development you don't read much about in the cables from Europe, but which is causing plenty of worry on the part of Britain's nobility, is the rapid development of Communism m central Europe particularly Czecho Slovakia, Austria and Hungary. You have to remember that the Communists were strong in Czecho Slovakia before the German invasion, and that for a time they more or less dominated Vienna. Also there was a day when the Bela Kun Communist government ruled Hungary. were While these movements stamped out, or kept under cover in the past, intelligence reports now indicate that they are making rapid a progress again. In Czecho Slovakia, for instance, the Kladno coal miners staged such a serious revolt against German officials that the latter backed down. Some of the communistic activity is directed against the Nazi over-lordbut some is not. As a matter of fact, some of it, particularly in Germany itself, fits into the Nazi scheme of things, for Germany today is probably more socialized than Russia. Also it is always important to remember that before Hitler, the Communist party was one of the strongest in Germany. After Hitler, most of the Communists merely became National Socialists. All of which indicates that Ambassador Joe Kennedys dismal predictions may be right, and that Europe will witness a social and economic revolution if the war continues. However, this movement in the end probably will be the chief means of ending the war. WNU Sib WILLKIE AND LA GUARDIA Mr. Willkie, in the campaign now closed, pointing to the mounting debts and deficits of the federal gov- t fthr. lVi Jr Washington, D. C. I PLAN INQUIRY OF CORRUPTION Now that the election is over you will see the justice department focus attention on certain graft-ridde-n cities, chief among them being Detroit. politiThere, a group of high-u- p cians are sure to be indicted for operating a liquor ring. They will be charged with diverting funds from state liquor stores. Basis of the indictments will be sending "hot money through the U. S. mails, an offense which the justice department used for the first time with definite success in Louisiana. Since then the Supreme court has upheld the justice department, so this new means of cleaning up local scandals will be used extensively. Most Republicans will not believe it, but the justice department had the indictments all prepared before elections. But since some of the high Republican leaders of Michigan politics are going to be indicted, justice prosecutors decided to withhold action until after November 5. They didnt want to be accused of playing politics.
