ItgZZz ,
Looking at Washington
(Continued from page one)
and onlooker, the United State* ha*
already accepted the task of pro tid
ing immense supplies to the fight-1
ing forces of Greet Britain and
France. In time, if necessary, Ameri
can ships will probably be, wed to
carry vast quantities of material
across the Atlantic. The question of
dfeh or credit is not even being
plunges wholeheatedly into the laftt
of the steps "short of war."
As a nation, we have accepted the
logic of the assertion that the Allied
forces form our first Tins of defense
and we are supplying strength un
limited to that Line.
Waif denuurd for materials, the
production of goods faster than ever,
reveals a weakness in the economic
organisation of the United States
which reflects a defect in the train
ing system of the nation. With a
vast demand for goods, production is
less than capacity in many plants
because of a shortage of trained
workers. Mechinacal experts are
scarce and before our industrial pro
duction can reach its peak, it will be
necessary to train thousands of work
ers.
For a number of years, the United
States has stimulated vocational
training- under the Smith-Hughes
Act, in cooperation with the states in
providing a trade education for young
men and women. Something like
5,000 teachers are conducting classes
in public trade schools providing
thousandc of students with training
along occupational lines. In the pres
ent emergency, the trade schools will
speed up their activities in order to
strengthen the national defense by
giving the nation expert, workmen
who know how to make tools do
things.
While the emphasis in educational
circles has been gradually moving
towards vocational training for
young people, the movment has en
counted handicaps in the attitude of
the young people themselves. Too
many students in the past have pre
pared themselves for the professions,
of white-collar jobs, because the re
wards have been more alluring than
those in prospect for mechanical ex
perts.
There has been an over-crowding
of certain professional lines, with a
consequent lowering of the ethical
standards and practices and a short
age of trained experta along mechan
ical lines. In the present emergency,
prompt steps will be taken to in
crease .the number of mechanical ex
perts, but in the long run, the nation
must consider the necessity of bal
ancing its human resources in order
that the economic machinery of the
nation may function as a unit and at
maximum efficiency.
- The attention of American offi
cials is focused upon Nasi activities
?in South America and particularly
upon German organizations in Uru
guay. John W. White, writing to The
New York Times from Montevideo,
syas the city is the headquarters of
Nazi political intrigue in several
countries. He points out that Uru
guay is of tremendous strategic and
naval value to any European power
trying to establish itself on the South
American continent.

of ssvteal nations* The activity of
these granpirwW.be aided by 200JW
Japanese in Brazil, but what they
will do depends upon developments in
Europe.
The probability is that the, im
minence of complete defeat for Great
Britain and France will be the signal
for .increased activity, designed to
pave the way for totalitarian acquis**
tion of the economic, if not die politi
cal, life of South America. The
menace of such a development is not
being overlooked by the officials of
this Government and while no offi
cial statement is possible as to the
intentions of our Government, It may
be assumed that prompt action will
be taken, to forstall any Nazi or Fas
cist group in a Latin American Re
public.
