J. SubMriptlon Ratea: Tear I.M Three Months Tie Months 1.H Single Copies A DETERMINED PEACE I EFFORT fThe opening of the Eighth International Conference of American StjUea at Lima, on December 9th, marked the latest and perhaps the most determined effort yet made to preserve the peace of all the Americas and to establish a system of diplomatic fortifications against what this government regards as menacing activities of foreign governments which covet the trade and even the land of the Republics to the South. Significant Indeed was the speech of Assistant Secretary of State Berle on November 20th, when he said of the Americas: "We are no longer two vast islands but a part of an integrated civilization. It is a significant fact that never has there been BO large an area of peace maintained for so long a period of time In modern history. We are prepared to defend this to defend it on any line which may seem necessary." To- dny's Latin-American problems, from our point of view, are much more serious and difficult than when President Hoover made "his successful good will tour ten years ago or even when President Roosevelt made a similar tour in 1936.

For generations we have been Latin America's "big brother." No other power has been a factor there to any significant extent. But now Germany, Italy and Japan are all making strong bids for Latin American we must outbid them if the Monroe Doctrine Is not to become a dead letter, and much of South America's vast markets closed to the products of our farms and factories. It is an important tact that the delegation appointed by President Roosevelt to represent us at the Conference waa as non-political as could be asked. It was headed, of course, by Secretary advocate of peace and stimulated trade among nations. It included a priest who is an authority on Latin American affairs, a college professor whose specialty is international law, executive of the C.

I. 0. and the A. F. of a number of State Department and AU M.

Landon, who carried the 0, O. presidential hopes in 1936. Mr. appointment, it is believed, indicates an effort of the President to unite the two major parties so far as our foreign policy is concerned. And there seems lo he sin excellent chance of that succeeding nnti-Ncw Deal men and newspapers which most 100 per cettl opposed Administ rat ion's domestic usually endor.se its foreign policies.

No one expects any great immediate greatly exaggerated, they also realize that where there is so much smok there is likely to he some fire. The groundwork Ls now being laic to restore America's prestige. Wha must be done in the future no one course of action must be fluid and elastic, if it is to mee changing circumstances beyond our control. And the basic issue involves much more than is Democracy versus Fascism in that vast area which lies beyond our territoria borders. CAUTIOUS TONE Some of the business forecasters are taking a cautious tone.

They do not look for a severe reaction in the upward production and consumption do think that the rate of betterment may tend to slow in the near future and level off. The international situation remains one of the worst factors, and has troubled financial markets. The automobile industry continues to lead the way, with a production of nearly 100,000 cars a week. As Business Week says, so long as this continues, "there is little cause for apprehension as to the general business curve." Consumer demand for new cars seems very strong far stronger than was thought possible six months ago. It is extremely doubtful, however, If we will be aJble to regain early 1937 levels within the next three or four months.

Steel is down badly by comparison with that booming period and there is small likelihood of production coming up with a rush. And such burning problems as those of agriculture and the remain unsolved. FISCAL SANITY There seems to be a growing sentiment among congressmen in favor of a return to fiscal sanity on the part otjMbe federal government. It is Hoped that this may mean the end of unbalanced budgets, and the establishment of a definite program or retiring our mountainous public debt. If the next Congress follows the example of the last few, and throws II caution to the winds in voting appropriations, it will find that the ie- overy movement now under way will )8 short-lived.

But if it shows regard for the realities of government finances, it will do as much as any- hlng could to keep the movement 'ohig and gaining. THE GUARDIAN OF FREEDOM "Scorned in many lands, assailed veil here, the Bills of Rights are the nal safeguard of the individual." is he message contained in nn article by Truslow Adams in the New York Times magazine. "In a time when personal liberties are being trampled under foot and when personal vengeance ls not only condoned but encouraged by totalitarian writes this eminent American historian, "the greatest democracies must look again and with new concern to their Bills of Rights. In such documents live the sum of man's victories over the tcrces of barbarism and oppression, and in their preservation lies the hope of man a.s a free individual. "The Bills of Rights have been abandoned in the totalitarian countries.

In many instances, families are disintegrating. Another phase has been the discouragement of parents with resulting unfitness for the role of preparing the coming generation for a useful place in life.

"The State," as Mr. Ellis the situation, "should Income the sible coordinating agency and should participate financially in both WPA employment projects on a project- approving basis, and in municipal direct relief programs. State participation with the municipalities should be direct to establishing standards for relief for financial participation, and for administration and personnel. that part of the direct relief load classified "permanently unemployable' should become the direct administrative responsibility of the county welfare boards with supervision and financial participation by the State. The welfare could afford an effective type of link between the smaller municipalities and the State agency, thus breaking down the problem of coordination and supervision into units of reasonable size.

Larger municipalities should deal directly with the State agency. "The whole program, Federal. State and local, should be geared to a realistic determination of need, to proper classification of intake, and to the most effective use of all resources, financial, educational, medical, and institutional care. "Every effort should be made to obtain Federal financial participation in all phases of the program. "Finally, every step taken must be in the full realisation we are dealing with the of human beings and that 'heir protection, development and rehabilitation so far as possible into producing members of the community is our constant and single- minded objective." The most leceii: estimate is that approximately $258,000,000 a month is being spent in the United States on public relief of various kinds, reaching 6,500,000 homes and affecting 21,000,000 persons.

WPA alone is spend' ing monthly, but even with this huge expenditure fails, tho Commissioner pointed out. to take care of all idle employables, the theory on which it wa.s founded. More disconcerting than these figures, he commented, is what appears a growing public willingness to accept relief as inevitable. "Il is a tragic fact." the Commissioner, "no one ktlOWB at present bow many persons have been OQ relief since the beginning of the geiicy': nor dues anyone know what relief baa done to its recipients in terms of enjployafclllty.

When Bienville left the colony in 1724, he promised to send a number of women as soon as possible.

In 1727 the "Casket Girls." so called because of their good character, arrived and were placed un- the care of the Ursuline nuns, whose convent hod been established in the same year. They were first results to follow this of numiln freedom. The right There will be many flowery speeches lo one rights iind formal gestures of good will, for of frt ee( and free public consumption.
