The" four factors pointed by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics are: Signs of better demand for steel; increased buying of textiles; reviving interest in home building; and increase in industrial exports. The uptrend In steel and textiles is especially encouraging, since these two items accounted for 80 per cent of the eneral industrial production slump that ran from December through March. Revived interest in building is especially important since materials us ed boost business for a variety of In dustrieslumber, steel, glass, cement, building stone, and so forth.

That struck a blow for the theory that machines are what cause unemployment (though plenty of statistics have been cited to show that, over the long pull, machines create more jobs than they destroy. But here's a rebuttal from a totally unexpected quarter: Last week, for probably the first time, a large body of workers has gone on record as recognizing that new and improved machines increase their earnings, job security and continuity of employment, rather than jeopardize them. It's down In black and white in a new contract between a unit of the American Federation of Hosiery Workers and its employer, pledging intent of both parties to effectuate installation of new machines, to their mutual benefits. ipru i mlght be seriously affected by spread of war to the East Indies region. Three-poireassurance with respect to rubber was given last week by John Lyons Collyer, president of the B. F. Goodrich company. At the company's annual meeting h expressed belief that Dutch and British bottoms will continue to be sufficiently available to transport American requirements, but that there are plenty of American bottoms in reserve for emergencies. He said the government's move, in with the industry, to obtain a reserve stockpile of rubber has been revealing that approximately 60,000 of the 87,000-to- n reserve scheduled to be obtained by barter from England has been already contracted for. Further, he revealed that his company, as the result of pio neer research work, is now in a posi tion to make "very substantial con tributions to the use of synthetic ma terials in the place of plantation rub ber."

Consider the case of a pair of opera glasses on display at the recent U. S. Patent Law Sesquicentennlal in Washington.

Am erican business is eager to demon strate that the new relationship is y not a affair, that it can be advantageous to both parties. U. American trade has been big business for a long time, and it seems certain to become bigger busi ness. It is estimated that this year the countries South of the Rio Grande will buy over $750,000,00 worth of goods from us. Automobiles, tools and farm and industrial machinery will account for much of this. And in addition, our Latin neighbors will buy great quantities of textiles, cement, metals, coal, etc. In return for this business, say the estimates, the U. S. will absorb some $650,000,00 worth of Latin American products. Leaders on the import list are coffee, bananas, sugar, minerals, and wool. That makes a prospective trade total of $1,400,000,000 for 1940 as against a 1939 total of Pan-Americ- an mid-Apr- il. one-wa- S.-La- tin Newest ominous note in the discordant European martial symphony has been sounded by Italy. During recent weeks, press attacks against France and England have been intensified. The alliance has been And newspapers which are known to speak for high government officials who, in turn, speak for Mussolini have lately announced that Italy may not be able to stay out of war much longer, the intimation being that she will throw in with Germany. What will come remains to be seen. Some experts think there is more smoke than fire that Italy is using vague threats in a n attempt to cement her influence with the smaller European states. These experts point out that the Italian people have never been particularly fond of Germany, and don't like or trust Hitler. They also point out that Mussolini's cardinal point of foreign policy has been his anti bolshevek stand, and now Germany and Russia are formally friends.

Some of the Southern coun tries are weak economically, though conditions seem to be improving. Alcenters so, in certain great effort is being given to developing manufacturing industry. If that effort succeeded on any big scale, it would abviously deal a serious blow to our trade Latin American would buy her machines at home instead of importing them from us. But that is a e problem. Instability of Latin American governments used to be another big problem it will be remembered that South American defaulted on millions of dollars worth of government bonds sold here. But today political conditions seem much better. The war in Europe has been of considerable benefit to Latin America in another way. Tourists who used to go abroad are voyaging South instead.
