Washington, Nov. 30. ? rliiter
liulional affairs are pressing upon
the attention of Washington from
a dozen directions, and raising nu
merous questions which are likely
to engage Congress in discussions
which may be prolonged and acri
monious.
First is the situation in Ger
many, created by the recall of the
American Ambassador, Hugh Wil
son. Following the President's
public declaration that he was
shocked and horrified at the bru
tality of the Hitler Government
toward Mie Jews, the summoning
of Ambassador Wilson home "for
report and consultation" is the
sort of diplomatic move which has
often In the past presaged war.
Through Ambassador Kennedy
in London the Government is tak
ing an active hand in the effort to
find suitable new homes to which
the Jews whom Hitler is driving
out of Germany and Mussolini is
threatening to expel from Italy
can be removed by International
action.
That there is grave apprehen
sion in Administration circles of
efforts by Germany and Italy to
establish colonies for tfheir nation
als in South America, and thereby
gain political influence which
would be in contravention of the
American Monroe Doctrine, has
been indicated by many straws in
tlic wind lately.
Point* was given to it by the
President's declaration that the
whole Western Hemisphere, from j
Hudson's Bay to Cape Horn, has
identical interests and that all of
the nations of America, North and
South, must stand together.
Will Fight If Xwessai)
When lie coupled this with a
declaration that this country must
give first attention to our national
defenses, especially in the matter
of fighting aircraft, it was taken
in many quarters as serving no
tice on the dictatorships that* the
United States will fight, if neces
sary, to keep tlieui out of South
America.
Possible friction with Cuha
seems to have been removed by
the Official visit to this country of
Colonel Fulgencio Batista, the ac
tual dictator of Cuba. The impor
tance of Cuba in the international i
situation is that it- would furnish |
an ideal airplane and submarine
base for a foreign enemy if it
were not tied closely to the United
States.
As for t'he rest of the Latin
American nations, the Pau-Ameri- 1
can Conference about to be held !
in Lima, Peru, is expected to re
assure all of the nations to the
south of us of the good intentions
of the United States toward them.
The Prime Minister of Canada!
visiting the President,, is under- |
stood to have renewed the assur- i
a nee that Canada will make com
mon cause with the United Stales!
111 any situation which threatens |
the interests of any part of the
Americas.
lra<le Agreement Important
An extremely important step,
calculated to remove any possible
friction between t'he United States
and the Britsh Empire and to fur
ther strengthen the friendship be
tween the English-speaking na
tions was the signing in Washing
ton of the reciprocal trade agree
ment between this country. Great
Britain and Canada.
This was the nineteenth such
trade agreement negotiated by
Secretary Hull with various na
tions. It takes effect on January 1.
Under it* Great Britain abolishes
all tariff duties on American
wheat, lard, canned grapefruit,
cotton, corn and some other farm
products, while we make tariff
concessions on textiles, metals and
manufactured goods of several
kinds.
Canada reduces duties on Amer
ican fruits and vegetables, fishery
products, paper products and var
ious kinds of manufactured goods,
while the United States agrees to
continue on the free list all Cana
dian products which now enter
duty free.
This closer tying together of the
English-speaking democracies is
part of a broad program for a unt*
ted front against aggressions by
the authoritarian dictatorships of
Europe. It is the hope, if not the
expectation, of the Administration,
that all of the conditions which
point to international complica
tions will create a public senti
ment strong enough to induce Con
gress to authorize the expenditure
of hundreds of millions, perhaps
billions, of fresh funds for build
ing up the Army, Navy and Air
Force to what military men con
sider essential.
Appoints T^andon
The President is not unmindful
of the fact that 57 Republican
members if Congress voted Rtst
year against his billion-dollar na
val program. He is anxious not
to have national defense become
a party question.
That is taken here as the reason

why he appointed tlie nominal 1

Gov. Alf M. Landon, as a member j
of the United States delegation to !
the Lima Pan-Aniferican Confer- !
ence. Much stress is being laid up- i
on Gov. Landon's declaration. in I
accepting the appointment, thai
partisanship ends at the boundar
ies of the nation.
The defense program already
under way Includes, besides the
building of Mie largest navy Am
erica has ever had, orders to
large manufacturers for essential
war supplies, so that they can get
immediately into mass production
of weapons, gas masks and other
essentials if t<he situation gets
critical.
The President is backing ? the
plan to Increase the number of
fighting airplanes from 2^30 to |
more than 7,000.
The stage is being set to fight'
if we have'to. The real idea back [
of it all. however, is to convince j
Europe that we are ready fight j
if the integrity of the Americas is
threatened.

Home-Town Ads

Survey Made Itv Virginia Senii
\\ H'kly IIcvcuIn Many Interest- 1
iiij; Facts J
Proof that the use of weekly or
semi-weekly newspapers is the 011
lyndequate way for national ad
ver(l?aa?.to rfiUch the small town
market was compiled by The
Hopewell (Va.) News as a result
of what is probably the most de
tailed survey ever made of reader
habits in a small town market. v
The most outstanding fact re
vealed by the survey, which was
made by having trained men take
questionnaires to a large cross- j
section of New's subscribers, was .
this: 8 H per cent of subscribers to |
The Hopewell News said that- they
read and were influenced by the ,
advertising in it. while 65 per cent 4
of those who subscribed to nearby/
daily newspapers said that they
did not read the national adver
tising in the dailies.
Although the survey made by
I Irf^jLlopewell newspaper was made
foitWhe purpose of getting com
plete information ou reader ititey'
est in that particular newspaper,
there is no doubt that much of the j
information obtained applies, with
slight variations, to all good news- j
papers in small towns.
The Hopewell newspaper is a j
seini-weekly in a town of 2,442
families. It is located near Rich
mond and Petersburg, where dail
ies are published. It has a net
paid circulation of ''1,853.
The informal-ion gained from
the survey covers a wide range of
subjects, not only indicating the
advertising power of the paper but ;
also including detailed informa- j
tion regarding the popularity of I
t-he various features of the edi
torial content of (he newspaper.
The following facts were estab
lished by the survey made by the
Hopewell paper:
89 per cent of subscribers are
influenced in their buying by the
advertising in Mie local newspa
per.
65 per cent of subscribers to the '
local newspaper, who also read a !
city daily, do not read the nation- |
al advertising run in the city '
newspaper.
93 per cent of subscribers to the
local newspaper buy most of their
needs locally, the tendency to go
out of town being greatest for
clothing, furniture and furnish- ;
iugs.
87 per cent' of subscribers read
the editorial page.
94 per cent of women read the
food page regularly.
100 per cent want local news
pictures in the newspaper.
