The German munitions, on the other hand, are virtually new. General Marshall made a special tight to Brazil last year to get acquainted ac-quainted with the Brazilian army, and later piloted General Goes Mon-teiro, Mon-teiro, Brazilian chief of staff, all over the United States. However, all this goodwilling doesn't seem to count today. At least 40 per cent of the Brazilian army is reported to be pro-Nazi. Note Meanwhile the state department depart-ment moves with tragic slowness to counteract Nazi activity in South America. Three years ago it set up a Cultural Relations bureau to cultivate cul-tivate Latin America, but its activity ac-tivity to date is minus zero. Mining Panama Waters. The navy may not admit it, but the secret reason for suddenly mining min-ing the waters around the Panama canal was the sighting of two submarines sub-marines off the Pacific side of the canal. -- - , They were sighted by an army aviator, who was not able to distinguish dis-tinguish their nationality. Since no U, S. submarines were in that vicinity, vicin-ity, the army and navy both were convinced they must be Japanese. Obviously it would be difficult for German submarines to get into Pa-tific Pa-tific waters. Another factor which has our navy command worried was that last week, while part of the Japanese fleet left for Frpnnh Tnrin-Thina. an other part left for an unnamed destination des-tination off into the Pacific. It is suspected that the Japanese may be paying a visit to Chile. Der- feps stoDDina en route at the Gala pagos islands, which the United states is now trying to lease for a naval base to protect the Panama canal Another reason is the fear that Hitler French fleet, might pool forces with the Italians (after the end of the British campaign) and make a foray ntO Amerifan Atlanfin nr-to With part of the Japanese fleet simultane- wsiy m Chilean waters, the problem f defense would be difficult, Uniformed guards make nightty -.i.uuu rounds in the big govern' ttlont .. .. i ' uuuumgs, dw the real senti-eeof senti-eeof the multi-million dollar struc-wes struc-wes are electrical machines.

RUBBER, TIN 'HOKUM It would be worth a good many billions, not to mention a great reemployment, re-employment, strengthening of our defense and reduction of our danger, to debunk the hokum about our being be-ing so dependent on the British and Dutch East Indies for rubber and tin. That bunk plus gross exaggeration of our tiny commercial stake in China, projects the sphere of our naval strength far west of any line of defensive necessity in the Pacific. Pa-cific. On every occasion we build Japanese enmity. That, in turn, requires re-quires even greater naval strength in the Pacific. We maintain the whole fleet equipped for this great distance, which is a far greater ra dius ol action than western nerru-sphere nerru-sphere defense requires. We are truly told that we have not nearly the naval strength we need for that defense. Yet, here we are frittering away much of that strength chiefly on this rubber and tin argument argu-ment Every time somebody mentions the fact that Bolivia is a prolific potential source of tin, we get a dose of clever propaganda that the ore has to be sent to England to be smelted that Bolivian reserves of ore aren't great enough and that they require a mixture of other tin ores. We have no tin smelters. But why haven't we? Because a British car tel controls tin. It doesn't want us to smelt tin or buy in Bolivia. That isn't good enough now. There is no I mystery about the tin smelter. To build the necessary smelters ana use Bolivian tin at once fits with every ev-ery sound American policy, and not to do so collides with all. It employs em-ploys American rather than British labor. It builds up Western hemi- snhere trade and ties us closer to South America. It strengthens our defense and reduces our danger and dependence on distant sources. Why isn't such a move number one in our new national defense effort? I can't say on the basis of known facts and recent surveys that Bolt vian tin would be enough. But nei ther has it been demonstrated by any such means that it wouldn t be pnoueh. Certainly, nobody has tak en any steps to make It enough. I am told by metallurgists that tney can easily lick the few bugs in the use of Bolivian tin. There is a very wide field for the conservation of tin. It is largely used for attractiveness where black sheets would serve as well. There is a vast field for substitutes par ticularly class. Finally, tin can be reclaimed after original use. We throw it on the garbage dump. Any truly alert defense policy would act immediately here. The case of rubber Is similar. It mav be true although it seems in crediblethat we can't now rely on getting rubber from its native home in South America, but it is no longer true that we have to go half way round the world to get it. We have no less than six ail-American rubber rub-ber substitutes. Two of them are far better than rubber. Yes. thev cost more, but if we relied on them entirely and so went into mass production, they would rnst verv little more maybe not as much as the process is perfected in use. As matters stand at this mo ment due to their longer life and hotter nuality. the true cost would be no more. If you consider this great i npw field for employment ol Ameri can labor to replace Asiatic coolie labor, our economic advantage would be much greater. If to that ndvantaee we add. as in the case of tin, the avoided cost and danger of maintaining an American naval threat in Asia then all considerations of both economics and defense sim ply shriek for immediate action here. What is a council of nationa' defense for anyway? Temptations. Nnw that the course and leader ship of the Republican party is set-1 tied, there are only two major un certainties to fertilize with worry more gray hairs the war in its re lation to us and the November elec tions. Superficially there is a temptation tn write a third the convention course and leadership of the Democratic Demo-cratic party. But, we know that there is no uncertainty. Mr. Roose velt will be nominated by acclama tion. He will write his own plat form. There is no more reason for a Democratic convention than there would be of a meeting of the Reichs tag to decide whether Mr. Hitler shall continue. la the proposal for a western hemisnhere cartel, we see a colos sal attempt to imitate Hitler. It is assumed that if be is victorious, all EuroDean industries will be operat ed as one, their products pooled and bartered to Latin America at a sweated price so low we can't com pete. Therefore, we shall buy all the nroducts of Latin America. Our high cost industrial products are also to be subsidized and pooled lor sale south to under-price low-cost Euro pean industrial production at a loss to our whole people ol perhaps Bil lion a year.
