I thought that when you told her to ignore what her husband had said and not do anything about it until he made some definite plans, that you certainly had the right answer. During my married life I have Pirned a number of things, and one of them is to expect the worst and then you be disappointed. I suppose people would call me a pessimist, and that probably is true, but if so I am glad that I am. My philosophy has me a great deal of worry and heartache.

You see, I have a husband who has done about everything he could to wreck our home and marriage.

However, his predecessors, instead of visiting the United States en route home, stopped off at Paris or London- The United States was given a wide berth.

In the last year, however, two things have happened. (1) The United States has become the transportation hub of the Western It is now much easier to travel from Europe to Argentina via New York. (2) The United States is now the political, financial and trade center for the entire Western Hemisphere. One hundred and one problems affecting Argentina have to be settled in the United States. FamoiLs Srrugham.

To hara.ssed Argentines, worried over the loss of their European markets, there is one man in the United States next to Roosevelt who is the best unlike Roosevelt, the least loved. He bears the name of Scrugham. Most people in the United States have never heard of James Graves Scrugham. But everyone in Argentina has. They know him as the Congressman from Nevada who introduced legislation preventing the purchase of Argentine canned beef by the U.

S. army and navy, and who, if it had not been for the personal intervention of President Roosevelt, would have got away with it. What Argentines understand is how one congressman, representing a state with a smaller population than the 100,000 necessary for admission to the Union, Even Senator McCarran, represents a lot of Nevada cattlemen had decided to go along with the Roosevelt policy of pcimitiing at least some Argentine canned bief to be sold to the army and navy during the war emergency. F. Mollm, head of the American Livestock association, and Senator O'Mahoney of Wyoming, a great protector of the cattlemen, had decided But the one lone congressman from Nevada, Mr.

And Scrugham is one of the problems Senor Guinazu will have to reckon with as Foreign Minister of Argentina- Power Shortage. year's miscalculations by defense chiefs on aluminum requirements, which led to the current grave shortage, apparently have been repeated in the equally vital field of electric power. Despite all the new deal power projects at Bonneville, TV and Grand Coulee, a confidential report just received by the OPM Proihiction Planning Board predicts an 800.000-kilowatt power by 1942. Such a deficiency could seriously retard defense output.

The report, compiled by several prominent OPM experts, estimates that when defense production reaches a next year, the power needs will increase by at least 1,400,000 kilowatts. This will be partially met by 600,000 kilowatts which can be produced by existing power plant reserves. But that still leaves a shortage of 800,000 kilowatts. According to the secret report, here is how the miscalculation came about: The utilities informed the Federal Pvm'er that the power cappcity would reach 24,239,979 kilowatts by the end of 1940, increase to 30,757,437 this year, and to 33,205,263 in 1942. These figures are correct.

But defense needs were grossly underestimated. For example; In December. 1940, power consumption exceeded by 22 per cent the estimate for the month that the utilities had given the FPC in September. Their figure was 25,143,702 kilowatts; actual consumption was 27,752,856. Already Short.

Already there is a serious power shortage in the key defense area of Buffalo, according to the re- jMjrt. Another shortage will be ir where requirement; tv the end of this year are put at 180,000 kilowatts above what is now available. Others art dicted in Georgia, Alabama, the crucial Pittsburgh area.
