’EW YORK.—There was once a

N
miles over the mountain to borrow
a hammer. She said her pappy was
figuring to

an act of
faith, not to be cynically regarded,
in spite of small beginnings and re
mote eventualities, and quite com
parable to the brave hopes and con
trivances of sundry men of good
will today.
Paul Van Zeeland, former
premier of Belgium, is one of
them. He sees a world of de
centralized power after the war,
with small, autonomous states
of economic and political group
ings. associated in regional col
laboration—diverse enough to
allow a "localization of func
tion” in world economy and
compact enough to form a stable
political equilibrium.
He presented his plan to the New
York conference of the International
Labor organization, and, simultane-
ously, there issued from the con
ference a proposal fer a bloc of
nations, comprising Poland. Czecho-
Slovakia, Jugoslavia and Greece,
for post-war rebuilding and for col-
lective defense.
M. Van Zeeland, holding both
earned and honorary degrees from
Princeton university, is widely and
favorably known in this country
both as a political philosopher as&
banking economist, He was a sol
dier in the World war, and in the
ensuing years was an experimenter
and innovator in financial theory
and practice in a desperate effort
to sidetrack a doom which he
thought might well end Western
civilization.
Here in 1937, as unofficial en
voy of Europe, he tried to sell
the United States a bigger cut
in the bank for international
settlements, with the quite
plausible idea that a freer flux
of money throughout the world
would cure bellicose national
ism. Nothing came of this, but
M. Van Zeeland keeps on hunch
ing.
The son of a prosperous merchant
of Soignes. he was educated at Lou
vain and Princeton, returned to Bel
gium to practice law and won emi
nence as an economist and banker—
a director of the Bank of Belgium
and professor of law at the Univer
sity of Louvain.

B
er asked several of the leaders
whether they intended to maintain

Militant Women solidarity of
Out for Equality women after
getting the

They
said they would do just that. The
emphasis was on the effective pres
sure group, rather than on widely
diffused social responsibility among
women.
Considering that that is the
history of pressure groups, of
both genders—how to get power,
rather than its social uses and
implications—there is news in
terest in the simultaneous arriv
al of two distinguished women
leaders of foreign countries
each of whom has stressed so
cial responsibility, along with
the “liberation" and political
education of women. They are
Miss Caroline Haslett of Great
Britain and Señora Ana Rosa S.
de Martinez Gerrero of Argen
tina.
Miss Haslett is an engineer and
adviser to the British ministry of
labor, somewhat comparable in her
career and achievements to our Lil
lian Moller Gilbreth of Montclair,
N. J. She will study the participa
tion of American women in the de
fense effort and will deliver some
addresses on the technical and in
dustrial mobilization of British wom
en in the war.
She is president of the Wom
en’s Engineering society, direc
tor of the Electrical Association
of Women, founder and editor
of the Woman Engineer and the
Electrical Handbook for Wom
en. With many variants and on
many occasions, she has said:
“Women once asked for equality
of opportunity. Now we ask for
equality of responsibility.”
The career of Señora De Martinez
Gerrero has been a close parallel
to that of Miss Haslett in its repeat
ed stress on social responsibility.
She came to Washington to attend
the annual meeting of the Inter
American Commission of Women of
which she is chairman. A spirited
evangel of Western hemisphere sol
idarity against totalitarianism, she
tells the meeting that the mission
of women is to “rekindle the flame
of a living faith in democracy.”
Señora De Martinez Gerrero is the
wife of a wealthy cattleman and
the mother of three children.
Washington, D. C.
N IZ1 IN TRUDER
There is a German smuggler op.
erating in the Caribbean off the
coast of Mexico.
This was tlie inside reason for the
President's sudden transfer of the
entire coast guard to the navy—the
coast guard's ships and planes are
needed to track down the Nazi in-
truder.
Sensational feature about the
smuggler is that she is a former
U. S. vessel—the 800-ton Diesel-
engined yacht that once belonged to
A. Atwater Kent, Philadelphia radio
magnate.
The one-time pleasure ship now is
being operated under the Panama
nian flag out of Vera Cruz, Mexico,
by Nazi agents in that city, and is
being used to transport high test
gasoline and mercury to small Car
ibbean islands where Japanese ships
collect the smuggled strategic sup
plies.
The yacht recently unloaded 1.000
flasks of mercury at an island which
for military reasons must be name
less.
The former luxury craft came into
possession of the Nazis by a cir
cuitous route which intelligence ex
perts uncovered only a few weeks
ago. The purchase was made by a
shipping company whose main of
fice is in Vera Cruz and has a
branch office in New Orleans, where
transfer of title took place. The
price was $18,000
Fortunately for intelligence the
payment was made in U. S. bills of
$1,000 denomination. From the seri
al numbers, the bills were traced
back to a Vera Cruz bank. There
it was learned the money had been
withdrawn from the account of the
leading Nazi business house in
Mexico, and turned over to the ship
ping company that bought the yacht
Subsequent investigation revealed
that all the stockholders of this com
pany were Germans; also that the
two top officers were Spaniards, one
a naturalized Mexican and the other
a naturalized American citizen.
Now, every movement of the
yacht is watched, but there is noth
ing the United States can do about
the ship unless she enters American
waters. So far the vessel has been
very careful to stay within Mexican
territorial waters.

RETURNED FAVOR
When Rep. John McCormack of
Massachusetts was elected Demo
cratic floor leader of the house.
one of his strongest and most un
expected supporters was Georgia's
fiery New Deal-hating Gene Cox.
Though the two men were poles
apart on economic views, Cox never
theless backed McCormack and did
yeoman work for him.
Recently McCormack returned the
favor. Before leaving on a trip to
Massachusetts, McCormack named
Cox floor leader during his absence.
“There's one condition, however.
Gene,” he grinned. “You’ll have
to refrain from those hot one-minute
speeches on the floor. I don’t want
my stand-in taking swings at the
administration. It would look bad.”
McCormack wished the Georgian
luck and left the chamber. Hardly
had he departed when Cox jumped
up and asked permission to address
the house for one minute.
New
Dealers held their breath, expect
ing him to uncork one of his scorch
ing blasts.
But they relaxed with a sigh of
relief when Cox launched into a ter
rific tirade against John L. Lewis.

operation thus far was the lend-
leasing of a man named Adolph.
Adolph Eichhorn went over to help
the British against Adolf Hitler.
The British are suffering from in
sufficient production of milk, be
cause of diseased cattle, and Eich
horn is the man who knows all the
cow cures. He is director of the
animal disease station under the de
partment of agriculture.
Three principal diseases afflict
British cattle: tuberculosis, which
makes the cattle lean; Bang's dis
ease, which results in the loss of
the calf; and mastitis.
Eichhorn was obliged to tell the
British that tuberculosis, which af
flicts 35 per cent of British cattle,
cannot be cured during the course
of the war, unless the war lasts for
another generation.
It took the
United States 22 years to get the
disease under control.
Bang's disease is more readily
cured. By vaccination, a calf can
be immunized so that its adult life
will not be afflicted with the dis
ease.
Meantime, the British are import
ing great quantities of dry and pow
dered milk from the United States.
Fresh milk is worth a king's ransom.
