GOOD NEIGHBOR The United States is getting much better from some of our South American neighbors than has leaked out to the public. When Portugal protested to the United States against Roosevelt's fireside chat hinting the seizure of the Azores, the Brazilian government immediately got in touch with the U. S. state department The Portuguese had sent the Brazilians a copy of their protest, and Brazil asked us what reply we were going to make. Ambassador Caffrey in Rio d Janeiro immediately showed Foreign Minister Aranha a summary of our proposed reply, and Aranha volunteered to send Portugal exactly the same answer telling them it was vital to the safety of the Western hemisphere that the Azores be in friendly hands, and that Brazil could not afford to see the islands taken by the Axis. This message was sent: which means that Brazil will with the United States if and when the time comes to occupy the Azores. Argentina also has been more cooperative than ever despite the diehard efforts of our Rocky Mountain congressmen to prevent the importation of Argentine canned beef. Argentine sentiment is overwhelmingly The and Argentines are much stronger for Roosevelt than for the United States, and have their fingers crossed as to what may happen after Roosevelt leaves office. Dakar and Robin Moor. For approximately one month, however, all White House advisers have agreed that the Azores were far less important than Dakar and the coast of West Africa. That is what makes the sinking of the Robin Moor by a Nazi submarine so doubly significant Despite the menace of Dakar, presidential advisers have been worried as to what we should do about it To take Dakar from the French and to hold it against all comers would require more men than the 50,000 in the U. S. marine corps. It would require an expeditionary force from the regular army. And while such troops are available, the bottoms to transport them are something else again. Once before, the British urged us not to get mixed up in the South Atlantic because it would divert our navy from the North Atlantic. The sinking of the Robin Moor, however, has played directly into the hands of those who have been urging the President to adopt the strongest policy in the South Atlantic and, if necessary, land troops on the bulge of Africa. . anti-Hitl- CATHEDRAL OF AGRICULTURE Paul H. Appleby, diminutive, didactic undersecretary of agriculture, made a flying trip to Nebraska the other day which had some in- teresting inside background. Purpose of the trip was to set up what some agricultural hands call a "Cathedral of Agriculture" in Lincoln, Neb. What Appleby was working on was a plan to pool all of the different federal agricultural agencies under one roof and under one director at Lincoln. These were to include the AAA, Rural Electrification administration, soil conservation, farm security, extension service, farm debt adjustment and so on. The plan was to make the state of Nebraska a guinea pig to test the idea. All of these different farm representatives would then report to one director in Lincoln rather than to Washington. However, the proposed Nebraska director was Cal Ward, regional supervisor of farm security. And although working for a Democratic administration, he Is branded as staunch Republican. His selection therefore caused opposition from various federal farm representatives in Nebraska who didn't want to Join any "Cathedral of Agriculture" under Cal Ward. Chief objector was Fred Wallace, chairman of the Nebraska AAA, and it was to bring him into line that Appleby flew out to Nebraska. Appleby had first ordered Wallace to Washington. But Wallace refused. Even after Appleby flew out to see him, h could not make Wallace budge. "I'm interested in an agricultural program, not a lot of bureaucracy," Wallace said. Appleby stayed an extra day, finally flew back to Washington. His "Cathedral of Agriculture" for Nebraska definitely Note Secretary of Agriculture Wickard has been looking around to find a new berth for his undersecretary outside of the agriculture deside-tracke- partment Army Movies.

First, all assets of Germany and Italy were frozen and these countries responded in kind. Then, all consulate employees were ordered out of the country. Germany and Italy responded with the same move. President Roosevelt went to congress with a surprise special message in which ugly names for the Germans and the sinking of the Moor were dotted throughout his statement. The state department followed this up with a strongly worded note. And so nothing remained by the thin thread of restricted diplomatic representation between the United States and the Nazis and the Fascists, only this, nothing more. R.A.F.: Smashing Away the creditor nations for generations, in fact tor centuries. To maintain that plan, England was forced to finance debtor nations. She did it by supplying the funds for development of those nations. She developed their resources, she built railroads, she provided shipping facilities. Large quantities of English money were invested in many countries of the world. Such funds were provided not so much by the English government, as by the English people as individuals, with the government back of them to minimize their chance of loss. That will be America's Job when the present world conflict is over. It was our job after the close of World War No. 1, but we did not do it effectively. We did not know how.
