ments in addition to the Adams com

RESOLUTION TO REINFORCE
MONROE DOCTRINE
A Senate resolution warning that
the United States will not recognize
the transfer of any Western Hemis
phere possession to a non-American
power, was sent to the White House
by the House of Representatives. The
resolution also reads that neither will
the United States acquiesce in such
a transfer. The resolution was voted
to reinforce and reaffirm the long
standing ppolicy of the United States
under the Monroe Doctrine. It pro
vides that in the case of transfer of
possessions in this hemisphere to a
non-American power, the United
States will consult with other Ameri
can powers on measures to be taken

U. S. AND MEXICO AGREE ON AIR
RECIPROCITY
The Mexican Ambassador and the
Under-Secretary of State signed a con
vention between the United States
and Mexico for the reciprocal use of
air fields and bases. The arrange
ment which strengthens aerial de
fense facilities of the Panama Canal,
provides for flights of military and
naval planes over the territory of
each country. It means that the Unit
ed States can quickly send air rein
forcements to the Canal, for they may
fly the length of Mexico and utilize
her air fields for repairs and refuel
ing. It is the first definite arrange
ment made to implement the general
defense compact revealed by the two
countries on March 5 under which
experts are considering plans relat
ing to the assistance which the two
countries would render each other in
the event of an aggression against
either country.

division.

tracts

R. I. and the surrounding area as a
naval operating base. The designation
made Newport one of five cities thus
classified. The others are Norfolk,
Va.; Balboa, Canal Zone,; San Diebo,
Cal.; and San Franciso, Calif. The
classification of the city as a naval

there will necessarily be any increase

Training For Defense
By Rufus T. Strohm
Dean, International
Correspondence Schools
IT is being demonstrated daily in
some plants and factories work
ing on national defense projects
that men and women can be taught
to do a single part of a skilled me
chanical job in a very short time,
and that such actions or tasks can
be fitted together for mass produc
tion with great precision. The an
swer. then, to the skilled labor
problem is subdivision of skills and
special training programs.
It is an accepted fact that the
training of men and women under
the methods described cannot sup
ply such all-around experts as in
strument makers, master mechanics,
die cutters, aircraft designers, and
others. A supply of skilled labor
cannot be trained overnight, but we
can make great progress by adopt
ing emergency methods. >
The government is spending more
than $40,000,000 this year in special
courses to train workers for de
fense. and seven Federal agencies
are co-operating. Many experts be
lieve. however, that a great portion
of the government-sponsored train
ing will be of little use unless em
ployers adopt the “training-within
industry" program. It is here that
the skilled labor problem will be
solved.
Ambitious men and women have
many opportunities in this national
emergency. They can hold down
single-part production line jobs and
prepare by studying in spare time
for jobs that demand greater skill.
The progress that untrained men
and women will make in the days
ahead depends entirely upon the
aptitude and willingness of the in
dividual.
