For instance, Admiral Darlan remarked to a member of the French Embas- sy, just before he left Vichy for Washington one month ago: “One of the most important developments of recent months is the increasing rivalry between Great Britain and the United States.” And Marshal Weygand remarked to an American diplomat rather re- cently: “America is a mercantile na- tion. She never will be interested in helping Great Britain." Apparently the leaders of France had no idea that there is even a remote possibility that the United States might actively support Brit- ain.

LATIN AMERICAN NAZIS One confidential problem the Nel- son Rockefeller Committee is trying to iron out is created by Nazi agents who take advantage of American business firms in Latin America Without meaning to do so, U. S. firms have indirectly helped finance the spreading of subversive influence and anti-American propaganda— through the tricks of German sales concerns. For years many U. S. exporters have allowed independent German firms to distribute their goods in Latin America. They did this be- cause the Germans had lived in South America longer, had better contacts, were better salesmen. In recent times, however, the State Department discovered that some German firms were using their Am- erican business connections to un- dermine the United States. Here is how it works: An Amer- ican firm will spend a large amount of money for advertising in local South American newspapers. But the advertising is placed through the local sales connections of that firm, in most cases German. And the Germans use that adwertising to high-pressure the local paper into carrying Hitlers speeches, the Nazi DNB news reports and other pro- German propaganda For some months now, feller Committee on Cuitural Re- lations, in cooperation with the State and Commerce departments, has been trying to stop this. A con- fidential list of Nazi firms was pre- pared, and most American firms, when warned of the situation, ar- ranged for new non-Axis distribut- ors. However, some companies have de- the Rocke- murred on the ground that a change | would mean loss of business. Genq | exal Motprs, for: jnstance, at finst | one thought of naming Al Capone refused to sever arrangements with certain German firms which were | eral—is now leased to Tropicana, |successfully distributing its automo- ;lhe new night club featuring Afri- biles in Latin America. The matter went up to James D. Mooney, Vice-President of General Motors, also to Alfred P. Sloan, chairman of the board . But nothing happened. ‘ Word came back that General Motors saw no reason to make a change in its Latin Amer- ican sales set-up unless there were a declaration of war or breaking of diplomatic relations with Germany. Finally, however, Sumner Welles, hard-hitting Under Secretary of State, had a session with Graeme Howard, Vice-President of General Motors in charge of overseas opera- tlons, in which there was some plain talking. In the end, General Motors agreed to cut loose its German sales connections in Latin America. NOTE: Meanwhile the production, as distinguished from the sales, end of General Motors in the U. S. has done a magnificent defense job in completing four machine gun factor- ies at Flint ‘and Saginaw, Mich., Syracuse, N. Y., and Dayton O., last month. The plants weren't sched- uled for completion until next De- cember. Willlam Knudsen, former production genius of GM, is the man behind this.

Casey had been looking over his papers and did not notice the mass evacuation. But he took the singular situation in stride. With a ghin; he turned to Doxey and declared: “Mr, Speaker, I am not in a mood for soliloquy today. I therefore ask permission to revise and extend my remarks in the Congressional m ord.” At this point, GOP leader Martin and veteran Democrat Ji Cochran of Missouri walked in, heard the statement and broke into hearty applause. Bowing deeply, Casey turned to the official reporter and instructed, “Be sure to get that applause in the Record.” oe LATIN AMERICAN TRAVELER He pushed up the River Paraguay and drifted down again, then up the Parana, then up the Iguassu.
