Much concern is felt in .the State Department over the close relation^ between Mexico and Germany. Mexico has eontlscated American-owned oil wells and is sell ng their product .to Germany at bargain prices. Those with long memories recall Germany's ' proposal to Mexico during the World I War,, when the projtct\of regaining the territory lost .to the Utried | States in the Mexican War .was held out as a bait to induce Mexico to join Germany in the war against England and Eraace. It was the disclosure of that German scheme, as much as anyth ng else that forced the United 3uite3 iur.o that war. The State Department feels rather happy than otherwise abouf the diplomatic rupture between Germany ; and Brazil. The belief that the new Government of Brazil was secretly allied w.th the Nazi movement has iirmallarl hv rpnPTlt eVfints.Much l/Cdl kij - concern is felt,now er,by the extent i of Ger man and Italian .propaganda being broadcast to (the peoplds of, South American countr.es, much of it distinctly hostile to the United . States. A good deal of that radio-borne propoganda is printed in South Amrcirican newspapers as news. This has jed to revival o?: the project of a federal propaganda bureau, w/th radio stations powerful enougn to reach the eritire southern hem.sphere? to offset the cffecfth of broideaols I from Europe. All of the war jitters are heighten ed by the recent disclosures than for iegn nations, especially Germany, have beon pay ug spies to obi am secret information about our ar.uy, navy, air forces i nd coast defenses. How much has been obtained that would be qf real value to a foreig enemy is questionable.

Not all of the facts upon which the Spy Scare is based have beo: made public, but enough has been di - ? closed to furnish backing for the President's recent statements that a Special secret service organization should be set up, whose business it would be to ferret out espionage by foreign nations in this country. None of the Government's po'ic-e organizations is now equipped or uuth ? orized to perform that service effectively. Such an organization of secret operatives would, doubtless, turn its attention to the Communists. The Red Scare is held here to be some*hing more than a bogeyman. The disclosures of Communist ae tvwties bi labor organizations and to some extent in political bodies,which have been brought out at the hearing of the Dies Committee to investigate un-American activities, have been of a nature to make many persons take seriously what they formerly thought to be a bugaboo. It is the official Washington belief that Soviet Russia, far from abandoning its early avowed purpose of turning the whole world Commun'st, is working to that en J, more diligei! iy than ever.

' 4 REPRESENTATIVE: ITODAY an*.- i TOMORROW' < (By Frank Parkier StockbrtySgd} SOUTH . . - oppof^ty When, the President, not long ago*., [referred to the South as presenting , America'a '^Number One Economic Problem,'' many of my Southern newi^paper friends and others were inclined to rAsexrt what seemed to bo ; a*! a slur upon the pleasant land of X)ix-? ie and the splendid prqjflrj. Others agreed that there was much in the report of the National Emergency Council to put the South 011 its mottle to do something to remedy ? its economic conditions. Though a Yankee born and bred, I have, l*ived in many parts of the South and have traveled frequently in all parts of it. I understand and sympathize with the Southern point of view. The South is handicapped by hav ing to sell its main cropfe, cottod ahd tobacco, in an unprotected market, and by railroad rates so much higher than those in the North that it ' ha* to pay "through the nose" . for the manufactured goods it buys from protected Northern industries.1 1 But after watching for several years and is studying at first ha rl some of the new things that ihe South is doing, I am strongly of the opinion that ihstead of being the Nation's No. 1 economic problem ttte South ia better entitled to the appvl latiou of America 's Number TT.nnnnmip Ormortunitv.
