American .hemispherical unity

United States accepts the South
American nations as equals, Dr.
WiMain H. Gray of• the College
advised today.
"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

ments concerning reciprocal trade
and quota production are "steps
in the right direction."

Special Library Exhibit Features
butcher's Porcelain Figurines
Dr. R. 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. Dutcher's fig
urines were made in ' the city of
Dresden, Germany, and in Italy
and -England..The famous Dresden
porcelain has tripled in price since
the bombing Of that city a few
weeks ago,

Economist Sees Farmers
Facing Postwar Changes
'Trends toward direct market=
.ing, • giving farmers more for . the .
•produce and the 'consumers more
for -the money,. will-expand•-after
the war, according .to • Dr:` •Kenz'
neth Hood, extension agricul
tural economist. at the College.
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,
