FIRST
SHOW
SIX MONTHS OF WAR
GREATER VOLUME
Trade between the United States
and Latin America has shown a
marked increase during the war
period, according to figures just re
leased by tile Chilean Nirtate Edu
cational Bureau.
In the six months from .Sept. 1,
1939 to Eeb. 28, 1940—the first six
■months of the war—exports from
this country to the 20 republics of
Jjitin America amounted to $369,-
666,000, which was an increase of
64 per cent as compared with the
same period a year before.
Exports to Chile alone amounted
to $18,800,000 for the period, which
was an increase of 69.1 per cent.
The expansion of the Chilean market
is partly a result of larger Chilean
exports to the United States, in
which Chilean nitrate of soda is the
most important single item. Sales
of Cilean nitrate to this country are
running ahead of the figures last
year.
The increase in sales to the 20
Latin American republics applied to
a number of commodities, principal
ly iron and steel products, chemicals
automobiles, coal, machinery, electric
apparatus, foodstuffs and textile
manufactures. Sales of raw cotton
•during the six months nearly tripled
in value, amounting to $2,438/M)0.
been paid to do so, and it has reach
ed the point where a man's election
or defeat depends on how much he
can payfor votes,” Judge Knox told
the May grand jury at Brunswick.
“If this continues the poor man
will have no more chance of winning
an office in Georgia.”
He declared the situation already
had caused a poor man to be elimi
nated from the Governor's race.
“1 am to>d and have reason to be
lieve that many thousands of dollars
are required to make a campaign for
Governor in this state/ Vote-buying
is a disgrace and a real curse upon
the state.”
He urged all agencies to exert ef
forts to put a stop to it.
Judge Knox also renewed criti
cism of pardons issued in Georgia.
Recalling a previous verbal tilt over
the same question, he observed:
“They (criminals) are still being
pardoned by somebody in Atlanta."
AUGUSTA POLICEMAN

FRANCES LASSITER

Athens, ’Ga., May 16—The 1940
Pandora, I niversity of Georgia Year
book, was released today.
Edited by Ambrose Burch, Fay
etteville, it is dedicated to J.E. Drow-
ery, director of the Henry Grady
School of Journalism at the universi
ty.
Marjorie Dtkle of Cordele is fea
tured in first position in the l>eauty

Teasley, Toccoa; Frances Lassiter,

Two British subjects who traveled
half-way around a world at war, in
order to attend the only school of its
kind in existence, are safe in Detroit
after a 13,000-mile voyage from the
southermost tip of Africa.
They are Charles B. C. Harris, ot i
the Transvaal,and J. D. Potgieter, ;
Kimberly, South Africa, students in i
thepost-graduate school of modern :
nierchcandising and management, I
the only university of its kind in the !
auto industry. The institution is ded- '
icated to the training of second gen- 1
eration Chevrolet dealers.
A 36-day sea voyageina war-in- j
fested world is not without its haz
ards, both young men agreed, altho j
since theytraveled aboard an Ameri
can motor ship, the Challenger, the
danger was minimized.
“Twice we saw submarines on pa
trol duty,” Harris said, “and once
our ship was halted by a French sub
marine, which had just put out from
Martinique on patrol. No radio sig
nals were exchanged, lest our posi
tion be revealed, thus e.vposging the
submarine, but our captain explained
his neutrality and listed his cargo
by means of flgsignals. The French
U-boat commander apparently was
satisfied, for we ware not boarded
and were detained less than an
hour.”
British freight*-;, which the
American ship sight,m off the coast
of South America, we/s inclined to
ff've the boat a wide berth until its
identity was tstailisiied, Potgieter
said.
“Our ship was well mi.rked,” he i
said. “The flag at the stern was
lighted by floodlights at night, as
were the flags painted on the sides
of the ship."
Half the world away from home,
both young South Africans arc anx
iously watching war develpoments.
But for two months ut least,
while we learn how to become the
sort of dealers Chevrolet recom
mends. Harris declared, “we are
' er >' thankful to be in America.”
Estimating that contributions by a,
million persons would place $25,000,-
000 at the government's disposal,
Melton said the money would aid in
insuring not only the life of the in- i
dividual citizen, but the very life of
the nation.
