ARGENTINE TO QUIT
UNION. SAYS JUSTO
U. S. Policies Blamed by For
mer Embassy Chancellor
Addressing Institute.
Bt the Associated Press.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., August 20.
Argentina will withdraw from the
Pan-American Union "as soon as the
new generation gets the reins of gov
ernment In its hands, or perhaps be
fore,” Liborio Justo, former chancellor
of the Argentine embassy at Wash
ington. told the General Conference on
Pan-American Problems at the Insti
tute of Politics today.
Mr. Justo. son of former Minister
of War Agustin Justo, said he reflected
Argentine public opinion and that he
founded his prediction on the "lack of
equality and sincerity" in relations be
tween the United States and his
country.
Changes In United States Policy.
He said that before the war the peo
ple of Argentina were friendly toward
the United States, but. he added, "when
the United States instituted an ag
gressive policy in the Caribbean area
and revised old doctrines for its own
benefit we began to realize our posi
tion In the Western Hemisphere."
"We have no interest in what Is
called pan-Americanism, and conse
quently I can assure you that as soon
as the new generation gets the reins of
government in its hands, or perhaps
before, Argentina will withdraw from
the Pan-American Union.”
•'We left the League of Nations be
cause we felt that it was an entirely
new European institution and why are
we going to stay in that at Washington
which Is purely a United States insti
tution? When a new association of
nations is created on a democratic and
universal basis, we will Join it, but we
have nothing to gain meanwhile from
regional leagues or unions of nations.”
Admiration for United State*.
Mr. Justo said that the Argentines
admire the United States, but believe
that so long as the relations of the two
nations "are not based on equality and
sincerity the amity between the United
States and Argentina can never be
true.”
Miss Sarah Wambaugh. former mem
ber of the League of Nations Secre
tariat and adviser to the Peruvian gov
ernment in the Tacna-Arica contro
versy, declared insistence of the United
States alone for arbitration of disputes
in Central and South America "is, in
fact, a liability.” She referred to the
Tacna-Arica dispute and said that the
motives of the United States "were
constantly Impugned, first by one side,
then by the other.”

That much-maligned automobile tire
cover depicting George Washington and
advertising the blcentennary of Wash
ington’s birth here in 1932, object of
fiery criticism a few months ago in the
House, but still bearing the stamp of
approval of Representative Sol Bloom,
associate director of the George Wash
ington Bicentennial Commission, today
became the object of scorn of the his
toric old Washington Society of Alex
andria. Va
Taking the position that the placing
of a portrait of the Father of His Coun
try on the rear of an automobile is
tantamount to undignified use of the
American Flag, the society, which was
organized by personal friends of the
first President a month after his death,
today made public a resolution which
condemns the pe**~~
Resolute*, ik .'"'“'teat.
The resolution passed the Alex
andria society follows:
‘ Whereas automobiles are appearing
on our highways bearing tire covers
advertising the bicentennary of Wash
ington’s birth, on which are painted
portraits of Gen. Washington, which
naturally are exposed to defacement;
and
‘‘Whereas such use of Washington’s
portrait is beneath the dignity of the

SCORE FANATICISM
Virtue Not tp Be Forced, Bos
ton Session-Told —Exist-

ence of Poverty Hit.
B.v the Associated Press.
BOSTON, August 20.—Criticism of
the enforcement of virtue by statute
and machine gun, and a plea for the
settlement of the unemployment prob
lem were addressed to the forty-eighth
annual supreme convention of the
Knights of Columbus here today by
Catholic leaders in the church and in
public life.
William Cardinal O’Connell, speaking
of Puritanism, said:
“Puritanism was an extreme, which,
unchecked, was bound to lead to
fanaticism. We wish .we could say that
there was nothing of this unsocial, un
congenial spirit left In America. But,
alas, from time to time, we are made
only too conscious of It by the enact
ment of laws and statutes which still
indicate the spirit of the Old Testament
and not that of the new.
No Forcing Goodness.
“History proves that goodness and
virtue and righteousness cannot be
forced on a people by statutes or by
machine guns. But, while we shudder
at the fleice austerity of Puritan life,
we would do w r ell not to forget that
luxury and wealth may lead to the cor
ruption even of the best and destroy
the very foundation of this Nation,
! founded" by sturdy men in poverty and
privation.”
Questions Asked Knights.
Mayor James M. Curley of Boston,
who followed the cardinal, asked the
Knights three questions:
"Did you ever stop to consider how
It is possible for a man to be a good
citizen and a good Catholic if he travels
in adversity?
"Is it not time that the intellect of
America was applied to some character
of solution of the age-old problem of
banishing povert” ' "om the richest Na
tion in this world?
“I wonder ii uiia land is incapable
of settling the problem of unemploy
ment, the breeding spot of poverty, dis
ease crime.and ignorance?”
Mayor Curley closed with the hope
that the convention would give some
thought to the subject.
This afternoon, following a business
meeting, the delegates, numbering sev
eral thousand, devoted to an historical
pilgrimage to Bunker Hill and to Lex
ington and Concord, where the Ameri
can Revolution started. Tonight they
were entertained by the presentation of
; .the opera “Priscilla,” given by the
! Knights of Columbus Dramatic Society.

\ Buckner McGrcarty of Alexandria,
i president of the society, said today:
“Naturally the society regrets the
j necessity for such a resolution, which
; is not offered in a spirit of criticism
I nor as a gesture of censorship. In dls
! cussing the resolution the opinion was
1 general among the membership that
Washington's portrait should never be
I used where it would be improper to
| use the flag; and, also, that while in
every American home Washington's plc-
I ture should be accorded a place of
honor, the spare tire of the family au
tomobile is not that place.”
Some months ago the Washington
Society protested vigorously when it
was reported that Henry Ford had in
structed one of his representatives to
purchase one of Alexandria's historic
old homes for removal and preserva
tion at Dearborn. Mich.
NEWEST SPEED BOAT
READY FOR CHALLENGE
Gar Wood Proud of Miss America
IX, Which Leaves Predecessor
in Wake on Detroit River.
By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, August 20.—Oar Wood,
famed builder of cup-winning Miss
Americas, will continue to produce fast
boats to meet the threats of British
challengers for the Harmsworth Trophy,
I but he has yet to build his fastest.
I Wood is spending a great deal of
I time along the Detroit River these days
testing and adjusting hi* newest crea
tion—Miss America IX. This youngest
and fastest offspring of the famous
strain Monday left her Immediate
predecessor, Miss America VIII, In her
wake.
Gar Wood is proud of his latest crea
tion. He already knows what she can
do to last year’s trophy defender. He
hopes she can show the same margin of
superiority to Miss Marian Carstairs’
Estell V, which will fly the British col
ors In the trophy competition this year.
Questioned about his reference to his
plans for the fastest Miss America of
them all, Wood smiled.
“Had Sir Henry come over,” he said
“we had something else in mind. It
would have been an innovation, but,
unfortunately, Segrave came to grief,
and what we had in mind we still have
up our sleeve, and we'll keep It there
until we think we nc d it.”

CATHOLICWOMEN
TO AID CANDIDATES
“Sound Ethical, Moral and
Christian Principles” Urged
by National Union.
By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Md„ August 20 —Mem
bers of the National Catholic Women's '
Union wert urged yesterday in resolu- j
tions adopted at the annual convention j
here to assist in electing candidates for j
the National House of Reoresentatlves i
and State Legislatures this Fall with j
“sound ethical, moral and Christian
principles.”
"Repeating words of a distinguished
English Catholic,” said the resolution,
“we would impress upon our Catholic
women that ‘from now on it will be
come more Imperative for Catholics to
defend morals rather than dogma’.”
The women were advised, however, to
be guided by “conscientious and prudent
intelligence.”
Resolutions against birth control, in
ordinate love of luxuries and Jury serv
ice for women also were adopted at the
convention, held In connection with that
of the Catholic Central Vereln of
America.
August F. Brockland of St. Louis, as
sistant director of the Central Bureau
of the Verein, speaking at the women’s
meeting, said persons who desire to Im
pose jury service on women have a false
conception of equal rights.
“Man." he said, “Is at the head of t
the home and represents God in the
family, while woman is his assistant and
has not the same authority, though her
role is as noble.”
The Verein yesterday selected Fort
Wayne, Ind.. for the 1931 convention
and cast ballots for new officers. The
result will be announcer today. W.
Eibner of Minneapolis, was nominated
for re-election to presidency and Val
entin Peter of St. Louis in opposition.
The Japanese government is adopting
a more conciliatory attitude in its re
trenchment policy.

Other Stories Equally as Thrilling Will Be Told
In Adventurous Accounts of the Members of
THE CATERPILLAR
CLUB
TTtTHEN Captain Ira C. Eaker, one of the army’s crack pilots, leaped
▼ ▼ from his disabled plane last Monday, and came to earth via hia
parachute, he automatically established membership in the Caterpillar
Club—one of the strangest organizations in the history of the world.
There are no dues, no initiation fees, no clubhouse, but every member
possesses the badge of courage, won single-handed through a leap for life
from a burning, disabled airplane, dirigible or balloon.
The moment Captain Eaker touched ground he became a member of
the club. At the same instant his airplane was a crumbled ruin in the
back yard of a home in Congress Heights.
“JUMP!” or Tales of the Caterpillar Club, by Don Classman, is a
breath-taking recital of the exploits and adventures of some of Captain i
Eaker’s club members, men like Col. Lindbergh, “king of the cater
pillars”; Maj. Brereton, Lieut. Hunter, and M. H. St. Clair, the only
surviving founder of the club. Be sure to follow “JUMP!”
