"As long as the United States attempts to dominate Latin- American economic and political affairs," he said, "we need not look for suppolt in times of stress." • Argentina would be siding with the Allies today, he believes, if this nation lad not emploYed a boycott to block Argentina's beef exidorts after World War I. Advocating credit extens i o and lending of skilled technicians to aid South American industrial ization, Penn State's Latin-Amer ican history expert said agree ments concerning reciprocal trade and quota production are "steps in the right direction."

Adams Dutcher, head of the department of agricultural and biological chemistry, is lending his collection of porcelain figurines to the central library for display. The collection will be in the main lobby for several weeks. "I started my hobby while on a tour of Europe in 1934," stated Dr. Dutcher. "We were visiting labora tories and places of interest in Germany when I happened to come across my first piece of china, `A Maiden Sitting on a Basket.' I bought a few other pieces and Con tinued to collect them when I re turned to the United States." Dr. Dutcher explained that the Chinese were the first to manufac ture porcelainware and that they kept the formula a secret for many years, making immense profits by selling it to wealthy Europeans. In 1710 the Germans developed a true formula for making the china, and the art spread to Italy, France, and Englarid. • ."•YOu get to 'low the' quality - of the china after buying it for • a while," he . continued.' "It is•poi sible...to approximate -its worth -by, merely feeling its' - iveight and tex- , ture." • Most •of Professor.

Labor costs and other distribu tion costs will "likely continue high, he thinks. Farmers, in the ecohOriiiitl view, have kept going "under ex treme difficulties" and in meet ing all food goals during the past three years have "performed an almost •miraculous accomplish ment." In spite of labor and ma chinery shortages, food produc tion has been . boosted a third above the 1935-39 average. Although food needs will con tinue to be critical in 1945 Dr. Hood said, -supplies in Europe "are not as short as some folks believe." He suggests that in many instances farmers may be able to handle larger acreage with pres ent equipment, helping to relieve the• labor shortage and keep down production costs. Psychology Professor Warns Against Sympathy For Ex-Servicemen Warning against insincerity and excess sympathy in dealing with veterans, 'Dr. Lester P. ,Guest of the College said today . "soldiers are .only ordinary 'folks in uni form and should be treated as such." While be feels ex-servicemen will appreciate recognition of their accomplishments, the :psy chologist does nut believe a vet eran wants to be pampered or treated like "a little tin god." "The best approach for both families and friends," in the opin— ion of Dr. Guest, "is to treat vet erans like anybody else who has been away for a long time, and who has done a good job of something he didn't particularly like to do." Although he believes most vet erans will be reluctant to talk about their actual battlefront ex periences, Dr. Guest feels mosteof them will enjoy discussing. the countries they have visited, the new people they have seen, 'He warned strongly -against starting- , runtors• •• regarding' %the - physical or mental , condition' of !a returned. soldier. • • • , "Amateur psychiatrists Can ,do ;a lot: of. liarm,". -he _added. • • The_ U.- S. :battleship lo . wa has more tban 56 .cooling systems.
