But in order to have this come about the United States must give far more serious consideration to South America than she has done in the past.

She must abandon the slightly patronizing attitude she has too frequently adopted and she must see that trade between the two continents is increased, not for war time alone, but for all time, even if it means a certain sacrifice in her own exports. Mr. Ybarra compared the attitude of the United States and Germany in South America with the balance of tact and effort going to Germany. Germany, he has gone out of her way to establish many of the South American nations as friendly customers; she extended long payment terms; she has bought freely and she has emphasized the importance of trade relations between herself and South America. All this has had its effect, although, in the main, the feeling towards the United States is more friendly than towards Nazi Germany.

Argentine is the notable exception, said the speaker, for unfortunately the exports of Argentine and of 1 the United States are too similar for them to buy freely from each other. There is a strong core of distrust and dislike in that country towards our own and Germany has capitalized on this. Friendly Brazil Brazil, on the other hand, is our warmest friend in South America, probably to a large extent because the United States buys almost the whole of the great Brazilian coffee crop. Also a factor in friendship between the two countries is Brazil's uncomfortable closeness to Africa and her consequent leaning towards American naval protection. In all three of the most powerful South American nations, Argentine, Brazil and Chile there is a big settlement of people of Teutonic blood but Mr.

Ybarra saw very little menace from them except possibly in Argentine. In Brazil, Vargas, the dictator, took steps against them some time ago and has increased -these in recent months. In Chile he thought the German group is largely disinterested politically but that it might, under pressure Germany, prove dangerous. He thought the recent unpleasantness between Chile and the United States is likely to blow over with few repercussions. To offset the German element in Argentine there is a very strong Brit1sh influence for Britain owns banks, railroads and business there and unquestionably carries a great deal of power.

Mr. Ybarra saw the Pan-American conferences really bearing today but regretted that the United States has been so blind to the potential value of South America. Takes Human Viewpoint Born of a Venezuelan father and an American mother he said it is impossible for him to regard South American problems either from the coldly detached point of view of economy or with the patronizing attitude Have You Tried T-W en ICE CREAM Lately?

Art Jury Is Entertained At Arcola Club Luncheon Five Eminent Artists Judge Entries In Ridgewood's Eighth Annual Fall Show Which Will Open to Public Monday. on the whole, willing and trade and friendship of the southern hemisphere rather nation was the burden of an Ybarra who was the speaker which looks on their revolutions, for instance, as comic opera proceedings. To him the meat, the coffee and the sugar trade are translated into the people who carry them on, the huge plantations, the workers with their songs- human element of the an business. The revolutions mean to him a dead man lying across his doorstep, bullets flying too close for comfort, fleeing with his father from the revolutionaries to the protection of the American fleet. Americans should take time study their neighbors in the South; should live down there for a time making friends, how much there is to admire, enjoying the pleasant, unhurried life.

The man he knew in Rio who spent most of his time in lazy enjoyment of Brazilian ways of life is a better ambassador of good will than the business man who rushes down to make a deal, or the members of commissions who too often hold themselves aloof from the people, even though the latter may actually accomplish more. The Germans, said the speaker, have understood this and Teutonic thoroughness have set about studying ways to make themselves popular. This is the sort of thing the United States must combat. "It would be good if United States citizens in South took the long view and did think quite SO much America, about the next boat home." Almost all the South American nations are increasing in importance to us but of the smaller ones Panama and Colombia are probably the most strategically situated. Hard as it may be to face, said the speaker, Panama just can't be entirely independent because of the Panama Canal.

We must protect that. Most of these smaller nations, except Nicaragua which doesn't like us very well, are friendly. Mr. Ybarra saw little menace from the Japanese in South America (there are large contingents of them in Brazil and in Peru) but admitted that they should be watched. He thinks Chile may eventually join forces with the United Nations.

Mrs. E. N. Reusswig introduced Mr. Ybarra after Mrs.

Douglas Craig had conducted a short business meeting. Faner- -Blom Nuptials Held in Midland Park Miss Evelyn Blom, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Blom of Rock Road, Glen Rock, and Leonard Faner, son of Mrs. Catherine Faner of Faner Road, Midland Park, were married at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon in the parsonage of the Methodist Church of Midland Park.

The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Thomas J. Clark in the presence of members of the immediate families. The bride wore a green velvet suit with a corsage of white roses. Her sister, Miss Helen Blom, who was maid of honor, wore a black and white velvet street dress with a corsage of pink roses.

James Nelson was the best man. Following the ceremony, a reception was held at the home of the bride's parents for members of the immeddate families. Upon their return from 8 short wedding trip, the young couple will reside at 242 Rock Road, Glen Rock. Mrs. Faner is an employee of the Haddon Company in Mr.

Faner is a graduate of Pompton Lakes High School and is employed by the Du Pont Company in Pompton. Former Glen Rock Girl Wed in Ohio Mr. and Mrs. Charles Harold Splitstone of Shaker Heights, Ohio, for many years residents of Glen Rock, announce the marriage of their daughter, Janet Cordelia, to William Bernarr Mayberry, U. S.

Connolly, Mrs. Rupert Austin, on Tuesday morning in the the Ridgewood Art AssociaMonday the five members figures in their particular at luncheon at the Arcola Country Club by the Board of Control. The guests of honor were Cornelia Cresson, sculptor; Nan Greacen, Rutherford Boyd, Sidney E. son and Louis Betts, chairman of the jury, the latter four being eminent painters, President Ernest J. Ruegg served as host, and those of his Board present were Mrs.

F. A. Blanpied, vicepresident; Mrs. M. A.

Kerwin, secretary; Mrs. Walter C. Rice, treasurer; Miss Elizabeth F. Hird, Arthur B. Foye and Hiram P.

Meulendyke, chairman of this Fall's Show. Others present at the luncheon were Mrs. Ruegg, Mrs. Arthur J. Partrick, chairman of the hanging committee; Mrs.

Richard G. Conant, of the publicity and reception committees, and Helen Brainard Smith. The luncheon table was effectively decorated with autumn leaves and colorful Fall flowers. The judges all had words of commendation and appreciation of local art efforts when called upon by the presiding officer. Mr.

Betts as chairman of the judges said that it was refreshing and encouraging to note the interest shown, as evidenced by the entries they had examined that morning, "especially now, when interest is naturally centered on other things." Mr. Dickenson and Miss Greacen expressed the same sentiments. Miss Cresson said that the sculptor "had always been a. step-child," but she felt that work of this kind should be done by those who want to do it. She made it clear that materials were still available, and felt that the field was open, offering real opportunity to the sculptor.

Mr. Boyd, perhaps the Ridgewood Art group's nearest neighbor, for he has been a resident of Leonia for the past twenty-five years, and is very well known here, started an extremely interesting and profitable discussion, based on his suggestion that the purchase of works of art should be encouraged, All of the members present had valuable contributions to the discussion as it progressed. Stimulating Discussion Mr. Meulendyke thought that the Association might become more community-minded, and show this interest by the purchase of paintings for some of Ridgewood's public buildings. Mrs.

Partrick, who as last year's president, was well qualified to speak, said that the problem of encouraging the purchase of worthwhile pictures had often been discussed. The Association had even contemplated a rotating scheme whereby a picture by a representative artist would hang in one home for a given length of time and then proceed to another. All seemed to agree that it was a matter of education and of encouraging the interest in ownership of pictures of which one could be proud. Mr. Foye felt that an effort should be made to foster the sale of the pictures exhibited at the Shows.

He said that those well-versed in the arts had scared the public into thinking it had no taste. He thought the purchaser should be given more opportunity to consult his own feeling and buy the picture which gave him individually deepest pleasure, rather than the one which the critio scared him into thinking he should buy. Mr. Meulendyke felt that one had to creep before one walked, and the less expensive purchase would lead to the desire for better and larger purchases of art work. It was all very stimulating and resulted in everyone entering spontaneously and informally into the discussion.

The consensus not only-reflected Mr. Boyd's original contention that professional artists need financial encouragement now as never before, and that the Association could do much indirectly along those lines, but it also stressed the necessity for Interesting people in the idea of 50- curing pictures for their homes which would open new vistas of imagination and would long furnish them joy and satisfaction.
