Attack on Communist Russia
Gains Sympathy for Nazis
In Parts of Latin America
By Lawrenee S. Haas
(United Press Latin American Editor)
The German invasion of Russia has been responsible for
considerable confusion . among several Latin-American coun
tries. With few exceptions, eom-l
munlsm has been regarded, at
least in government circles, and
certainly among all conserva
tive and q u a s i -conservative
classes, as a greater menace to
Latin American institutions
than naziism and fascism.

"The present national emer
gency makes even more impera-
sympathizers in South America
and it was a potent weapon for
militant pro-democratic organi
zations to enlist numerous
doubtful persons. The newest
turn of events in the European
military panorama, however,
may cause a sharp about-face
on the part of certain segments
in the antl-nazi movement wno
were never more than luke
warm at best, and It gives axis
propagandists and agitators new
ammunition for their cause.
Crusader Theme Voiced
They can picture Adolf Hit
ler as a crusader engaged in
destroying the peril of a Bolshe
vik world hegemony and this
Idea seems to have taken hold
in some quarters already. The
conservative Catholic news
paper, El Debate, Quito, Ecua
dor, has stated that "in the
struggle between Germany and
Russia ... we are with Ger
many and we desire her triumph."
Although such statement of
svmoathy may not become
wide-spread In Latin America,
it would not be surprising If
an undercurrent of similar feel
ing should develop in many
Quarters. So far as governments
are concerned, it is likely that
the United States policy toward
the Russo-German phase of the
war will be closely scrutinized
and that no official action or
declaration of policy will ensue
to provide a clash with the
United States course.
ARMED FORCES
TO
USE OF GLIDER
Phoenix, Ariz. OJ.RV One of
the major factors neglected thus
far In U. S. defense efforts is
training of glider pilots and use
of the sail-plane as a military
weapon, according to Lewis B.
Barringer, authority on motor
less craft and holder of the
world altitude record for glid
ers. Glider training, he said, would
provide at minimum expense a
huge reserve of young men, well
grounded In the fundamentals
of flying, from which could be
drawn fighting pilots, gunners
bombardiers, and observers for
the regular air corps at wall as
other flying personnel.
He urged establishment of
government . operated training
centers for glider pilots, similar
to ones used to train cadets in
fighting planes. In addition, he
advocated formation of glider
clubs by youths interested in
aviation.
The glider, although It looks
harmless In comparison with a
400-mile-an-hour fighter plane or
a heavily-armored bombing
plane, is used successfully as an
offensive weapon by the Ger
mans, Barringer said.

Asserting the society faced "a

than two decades ago before
the last world war, Dr. Poling
said:
"For every saloon of 1911," he
said, "there are now at least
three similar, or worse, places
of liquor sale. There is work
for us to do. Here and now we

bet to give them a bowl of Albers Corn
Flakes and milk. Their digestibility never
