With every nation in the Western Hemisphere represented and appar ently intent upon proclaiming to the Hemisohere. 5 difficult task in the framing of dee larations to suit the individual pecul iarities of the nations, involved. There was evident a desire not to flaunt a spirit of isolation from world affairs and, on- the part, of several important South American nations, an anxiety not to offend European na tions, heretofore closely attached by commercial interests and blood ties. It is interesting to note that, for the first time, such differences of opinion as exist, do not involve the United States which, heretofore, has been the target of a Latin-American bloc usually led by Argentina. Some of the nations desired to proclaim immediately some form of agreement relating to the joint defense of this part of the 'world, but the Argentin ians were strongly opposed to any- world the solidarity of the Western thing like an American League of THE IDEAL GIFT FOR CHRISTMAS 'Si Mil An Eloquent Christmas Story, ; l.m.umiuiiimi-" 2.3g .a Photo Leipzig Fair An Ancient Peasant Art Model AX-21 1 with "MIRACLE TONE CHAMBER" 5-Tube AC-DC SUPERHETERODYNE 7-TuJe Performance Brings in American Broadcasts and Police Calls.

The' effect has been gained with a few pieces of wood practically In two dimensions. The art of wood carving is very an cient. Many examples of the work of these artists are very elaborate and have found their way Into churches all over the world includ ing the United States. Working in the depths of the black forest the peasant artists create these delightful little bibli cal groups by alow and painstaking efforts. Thousands of them are pre pared long in advance fof the Christ mas trade. The group Illustrated herewith was one of the hundreds assembled in the Grass!

It is worth noting that every nation in the Western Hemisphere owes its origin to a re volution and most of the South American countries venerate common patriots. The general idea was that a defensive alliance in the orm of a treaty was unnecessary. rMliCh stress was placed upon the importance of developing trade and cultural rela tions between the two Americas. At the same time, it was pointed out that there is considerable differ ence between the people of the United in at the rate of $100,000,000 a month.

' That one of the prime motives of the United States is to improve trade with these countries is apparent from the declaration in Washingtcjn that Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., is studying possible efforts to make available adequate ex change facilties with South and Cenr tral American countries. . While none of the Latin-American countries owe the United States Treasury any mon ey, several of them have borrowed ex tensively from private investors. The possibility of lending gold to these countries in order to stimulate their buying of goods from - the United States is receiving attention. Before goods and services.
