Another medium available for the recognition of aptitude and devotion to duty in our army are Specialist ratings. A total of 398,397 soldiers are rated as specialists," with increases in pay ranging from $3 00 to $30 00 per month While every man with the colors will benefit from his service, those men who are promoted will develop traits of character which will be of tremendous value to them on their return to civil life," General Marshall said.

Throughout the world's military history, commanders have ever relied upon the resourcefulness, fortitude, and strength of character of the noncommissioned officer. In Ihilip of Macedonia's early Greek army, it was the Lochagos; while In Caesars Roman army, it was the Pocunan who carried those forces through to victory. Napoleon recognized the importance of the enlisted man and noncommissioned otfieer, stating that "every soldier carries a marshal's baton in his knapsack General Marshall observed that in many respects the strength of character of noncommissioned officers must be os great or greater than that of commissioned officers The lives with his men 24 hours a day and participates in every phase of their lives. Despite this familiarity, which the old adage de dares breeds contempt," the non com must demonstrate that he is i better man not physically, but mentally.

Many of our citizens feel that the noncommissioned officer's task Ik simplified because of the support he alwajs receives from officers. However, the new army we are developing is not an army where fear of punishment is the right arm of discipline," General Marshall said It is an airny where every effort Is made to enhance the soldiers ConseqiientJy, the must ever be aleit to curb any possible tendency to violate the Code of the American Soldier. Instead of waiting to repoit violations of orders, with possible disciplinary action, the corporal, by example and straight talk, prevents these derelictions which so vitally affect a military organization. Should our armies have to take the field In defense of American liberties, the responsibilities of corporals and sergeants would be tremendous. In order to develop their military qualifications for command, these attend schools, and one of the basic points emphasized is that the leaders who permit one of their men to be killed needlessly Is a murderer. With such high standards, it is apparent that the character development which accompanies appointment as noncommissioned officer is a factor which will pay dividends in both civil and military life The road leading to a commission and further advancement In the army is also open to enlisted men, and on July 1, 1941, 10 Officers Candidate schools will open in various parts of the country. A total of 2.3(10 wan ant officers and enlisted men. all with at least six months service, will attend these schools. Men successfully completing the course will be commissioned a second lieutenants. It is probable that the majority of these students will be noncommissioned officers, for they have already demonstrated their worthiness for promotion. In the army, as in civil life. Increased responsibility is rewarded All of the men by increased pay. now entering the service start with base pay of $21 00 per month. At the end of four months service, their pay is increased to $30 00 per month, unless inefficiency or other unfitness indicates that the soldier is unworthy of receiving extra compensation. The next promotion is to first class private, carrying an advance of $G 00 per month. From first class privates the corporals are selected and they receive $54 00 per month.

Imports from the South American countries have zoomed as a result of the war, so that many of them now actually have favorable balances of trade against Uncle Sam. The importance of this is tremen dous, because the chief difficulty of trade has expanding always been that South America wanted to buy lots of our products, especially automobiles, refrigerators and other manufactured goods, but found it very difficult to sell us anyWe not only produced so thing. many competitive articles, which aroused clamor for tariff protection by our producers, but there is the little episode of the pure food regulation, which not only kept out Argentine meat but gave it a black eye before the world. As evidence of the recent spurt we bought from Argentina, in the first quarter of 1941, a total of $35,512,000 worth of goods. Yet in the whole year 1940, though the war was in progress during that entire year, we bought only $83,301,000. From Uruguay in the first quarter of 1941 we bought $16,797,000 worth of goods.

Congress has voted virtually all the money wanted by Jesse Jones, in his capacity as the greatest lender of all time, for the purpose of making sure that the United States buys all the exports that Latin America wants to sell. Part of the object is military, part of it is looking forward to a trade war after armed conflict ceases. Strained as she is, Japan is sending a ship loaded with all sorts of sample products to South America right now. Germany is ready to resume her old barter program with our Southern neighbors, and has done her best to keep her connections despite the blockade. Leaving out the huge German racial groups in the South American countries, most of the people would rather trade with the United States. The governments, especially, found that the barter system did not work as much to their advantage as had at first appeared. Uncle Sam now hopes for an era of good feeling toward him from the Rio Grande to Cape Horn.

This has been pointed out in these dis1939. patches since September, There has never been the slightest reason for any backtracking on this. It is true that the measure of cost involved has changed tremendously, always upward. For example in the fall of 1939 all that the President and indeed the military experts thought would be necessary would be to amend the neutrality act so that, if the war stretched out into years, the United States could become Britain's arsenal. It is interesting to note how this picture has changed, always with the effect of increasing the cost Early in the war the Germans had more success in hitting the British fleet than had been anticipated. When Britain lost so many destroyers, President Roosevelt met the first ante in the cost In the spring of 1940 he transferred the 50 overage destroyers to the British. With the of the low countries, and Norway, the cost increased enormously. As the terrific expense to which the British were put gradually cut down their available cash, the lease-len- d bill boosted it further. The next step, cf course, is s That is coming as surely as the necessity for giving the Entish the destroyers developed. But the final element of cost Is mm, and that is coming too.

This was a big drop, as in the full year 1940 we sold her With Uruguay we about held our own, selling her $2,998,000 in the first quarter of 1941, as against in the full year of 1940. The reason for the drop in our exports to Argentina was the rigid Argentine exchange and import control in the early months of 1941.

Not so long ago, when modern homemaking first reared its scientific head, It was perfectly true that the city gals glib talk about thread count and vitamin content backed by a Home Economics degree had the farmers wife definitely at a disadvantage.
