The Government “will not dle or temporize with our enemies,” he de- clared.

Some re- strictions have been placed on natu- ralization of Axis aliens so that the Government can wéed out the sub- versive elements, but nothing pre- vents a German or Italian alien from filing his first or second papers at any time.

C, Defense Bond Sales, Doubled in Month, Lag Behind Spending Mdrgenthcu Says People Will Have to Do More Than ‘Token’ Investing By the Associated Press. Treasury receipts from the sale of Defense bonds in December totaled $528,599,000, compared with $233,- 487,000 in November, Secretary Mor- genthau announced yesterday. But the war effort in December cost about four times as much as the total receipts from Defense bonds and, in coming months the Govern- ment will spend “at a far greater and ever-increasing rate,” the Secre- tary said in an address over three radio networks. “War is never cheap,” Mr. Mor- genthau continued, “but let me re- mind you that it's a million times cheaper to win than to lose. The French, the Czechs, the people of a dozen conquered and ravaged countries can tell us what it costs to lose. We have made up our minds to win.” Secretary Morgenthau urged that every wage-earner set aside part of every pay check for Defense stamps and bonds—and “I do not mean a mere token contribution of a few nickels every week, or the mere con- tribution of 1 per cent or 2 per cent of the weekly pay check. This is not a token war.” He suggested 5, 10 or 15 per cent, “Millions more must take part in these pay roll savings plans,” he said, “and must invest hundreds of millions of dollars more it we are to do our job.” Woman Burned in Fire Esther Crockett, 42, of 1320 Co- lumbia road N.W. was treated by Rescue Squad members early today for wrist burns received when bed clothing and curtains at her home were ignited.

S.-Latin American Bonds Closer Than Ever in History Approach of Rio Conference Finds Ranks Joined Against Aggression John Lear, Wide World News reporter recently returned from a 13-month tour of South America, writes about the coming Inter- American Conference at Rio de Janeiro from the Latin point of view, explaining in this story a solidarity not apparent on the surface. By JOHN LEAR. World Wide Service. ‘The American republics are more closely united in this war than at| any time in history. That is the outstanding fact be- hind the approaching conference of Ministers of Foreign Affairs at Rio de Janeiro. ‘To some, the outward appearance of Argentina’s merely declaring this country a non-belligerent after the United States had declared war on the Axis was that the “gooll neigh- Jbor” policy had suffered a setback. The real effect of the Argentine action, however, was to give the United States use of Argentine ports and airports in time of battle. This is a distinct change from the Argentine attitude before the war, when Uruguay’s proposal of the non-belligerency policy to aid the United States was greeted by the Buenos Aires foreign office as “redundant” and “unn g It is, furth , & tremendous advantage over the position Wash- ington held in the first World War. Throughout that conflict, Argentina remained neutral in \practice, even after ejecting the German Ambas- sador from the country for advising the Kaiser's navy to sink Argentine ships “on sight.” Navy May Use Waterway. ‘Whereas, that 1917 neutrality left the United States Navy at a dis- advantage in South Atlantic waters, the Argentine position of today as- sures inter-American access to the mouth of the River Plate, economic lifeline of much of South America; to the vital Straits of Magellan, and to airports along the Atlantic Coast from Patagonia to the borders of Brazil and Urugusy and along the Andes the full length of Chile to Bolivia. ‘The nce of the naval blockade in the Atlantic gives the sea side of this situation the greater attention, but it should be remem- bered that the Germans considered the air foremost. It was the Ger- man-dominated newspaper of Bue- nos Aires, El Pampero, which cam- paigned first for creation of the coastal string of airports. Because of Argentine prestige in South America, the Buenos Aires’ government's willingness to give the United States the advantages of non-belligerent status strengthened pro-United States sentiment in these nations: In Chile, which has been fighting Nazi infiltration, especially along the strategic southern coast. In Paraguay, backdoor for air de- fense of Brazil in event of invasion from Dakar, Japs Strong in Peru. In Peru, where strong Italian financial houses, large Japanese settlements and persistently-grow- ing Japanese trade make a situation which might easily become danger- ous for the land whose invariably stable weather provides the ideal jumping-off place for air maneuvers down from Panama and across the Andes. No one, least of all the Argentine acting President, Ramon Castillo, is pretending that Argentina and the United States see eye-tc-eye in this war. But, in fairness ito the Ar- gentines, four things must be noted: (1) This is an election year in Argentina; the Castillo opposition has stumped for full collaboration with the United States, and the acting President cannot very well swing over completely to the other side even though the newly-elected President of his (the Consrvative) party has said the country must line up with the United States “to the point of sacrifice.” (2) Too sudden a swing into line with the United States might, as MONDAY, JANUARY 5, 1942. Senor Castillo has sald, mlfl‘pfl-lh & revolt by pro-Nasi (3) Argentina, as tl "bmdhn ket” of South America, must fall in with the victor, to survive, and the United States only recently has been making what Latin Americans con- sider a convincing show of deter- mination to win. Fear Communism, (4) Argentina is & Catholic coun- try, fear of Communism is too strongly inculcated in the people to make Nazilsm seem a much more horrible threat by comparison. Everything considered, it is a tri- umph for the “good neighbor” policy that Argentina has gone as far as she has on the United States’ side in | the face of pressures from German and Italian minorities and a Japa- nese “fifth column” so clever that 1's real leader and real strength are %nown but to a few diplomats in the big Buenos Afres colony. Argentina's position cannot be considered separately from that of Brazil, because concern over Bra- zilian influence and power is one of the motivating reasons behind Ar- gentine policy. Collaboration with the United States has brought Bra- zil the first industrial development in its history, and leading Argentine citizens want United States aid to keep their country apace. Brazil declared war against the Germans last time. This time she has declared and shown her soli- darity with the United States. Her air bases have taken control of South Atlantic air lanes from the | Axis and given them to the Amer- icas. Lati, the Italian airline from Rome via Africa has been suspended because Brazil would not help the ; Italians get gasoline after the | United States cracked down. The smallest countries in Latin America went the furthest, with an | outright declaration of war—Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, El | Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Hon. duras, Nicaragua and Panama, Others Severed Relations. Two of the most vital defense links, Mexico and Colombia, took | the next most drastic step, sever- ance of diplomatic relations with the Axis. So did' Venezuela. ‘The advantages of non-bemger-f ency also were conveyed by Bolivia, | Chile and Uruguay. ‘Without exception, the full family of the New World stood up to be | counted in a “declaration of soli. both ships and sibmarines. Each could play a role in convoying the inter-American merchant fleet which has been formed from interned Axis ships. All the Americas have stand- ing armies, Argentina by far the best, with a tremendous reservoir of manpower, for the North Ameri- can arsenal to equip. Like the Latin navies, the Latin armies could do little alone. The same can be said for the air forces, although they have produced thousands of pros- pective pilots. So much for the military. Wars today are not fought by military alone. They are fought with mate- rials, and the New World has pledged all its materials to the defeat of the Axis. They are fought with propaganda, and the grounding | of the Axis airlines has closed Hit- ler'’s last avenue of propaganda into the Americas except radio.- They are fought with internal dissensions, stirred up in enemy territory before the first blow is struck, and the only internal squabble in the New World today is the border dispute to be 1ty present status until the end of the common battle against dictatorships nlhnumlurnmmmmm and lasting sol Typographical Union Asks Labor Co-operafion Industrial production on a 24- hour, seven-day-week basis through co-operation by the A.
