THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE Editor’s Note: This is the first of a number of stories that Rod- ney Dutcher, Washington corre- spondent for The Tribune and NEA Service, is writing from South America, where he is trav- cling as a member of President- elect Hoover's party. Today Dutcher discusses the new eco- nomic policy that Hoover carries to the southern hemisphere. With Hoover in Latin America— Herbert Hoover has been making his W ‘ough the Spanish-speaking as the priest of his of economic m: But b cerned with Am perity and expa campaign he avowe: burden. Trade, he made clear inary conterence with correspondents, Was not based on sen’ In his opinic1, the three rs. for happy commercial tween nations are Contact. Understanding. Esteem. Insofar as he is able, Hoover is acting en tour with these factors in mind. Freer intercourse hetween the leaders and peoples of western na- tions, better communications between nations and wider interchange of news, views and culture, and reassur- ance as to the amicable motives of all concerned, are some of the ways in which they will be more completely attained.

And the gay white wayfarers are be- | ~ ginning to stir about. ‘The endless search for gaiety has begun again. And it’s a bit strained. For it takes real effort to whip up a froth. One block of Broadway and the} Plankings and scaffoldings about the new Eighth avenue subway seem like fantastic charcoal drawi: In mid-street two packing boxes burn brightly. At odd intervals the heads of workmen appear from the underground caverns. Some half a dozen black forms half circle the bon- fire. Feet stamp against the board planks which temporarily form the street. Arms swing and slap against robust chests. A few cold grunts fur- nish the conversation. From the cheap coffee houses near by come the stifled arias of the jazz bands, swell- ing to full ratio strength as the doors swing open. The tunes are being broadcasted for the gay white way- farers—just a few blocks away. ** ® Suddenly a woman has joined the semi-circle about the mid-street fire. She has appeared out of the half- light like a materialized spirit at a Seance. She is over stout. She wears no hat. A shawl, which loses its color in the street adows, is over her head. She wears no coat, though a chill mid-night wind sweeps the street. In her hand is a little bundle which she hands, withou' word, to one of the men in the ip. Without a word, not even a signal of p it. From within the folds he clumsily produces a couple of sandwiches and a little carton of steaming hot cof- fee. a The others casually glance at him! Someone draws up a block of wood. The fat woman sits down and begins to warm her hands at the bonfire. Someone piles on an extra box. The blaze mounts high. A taxicab dodges and the driver curses the mid-street fire. The woman draws her shawl more tightly about her shoulders. After a few moments she has gone —disappearing again into the night, FLAPPER FANNY SAYS: er) | IN NEW YORK ||" been a pt way the pape! s his mouth on_his as though rb the sub- | jazz bands .
