U. S. Warned
Of Nazi Peril
To Imports
Economists Should
Become Alarmed,
Author Says
Declaring that Germany has
broken ail rules both on the battle
field and in the fields of commerce,
Clark Foreman, author of "New In
ternationalism,” warned yesterday
that America’s economists should be
alarmed by the Reich trade methods
as our military experts were startled
by her military tactics.
The speaker, who is chairman of
the Committee on Economic De
fense of the American Council on
Public Affairs, addressed a luncheon
meeting of the Washington branch
of the Committee to Defend America
by Aiding the Allies.
To defeat the United States would
not necessarily require a war, Mr.
Foreman stated. The United States
must import some 14 strategic ma
terials, and with the supply from
Asia cut off, we could get these
products from South America, he
said. However, he continued, if
Germany succeeds in efforts to con
trol South America, that supply
would be cut off and we could not
survive.
Export Trade Cited.
The economy of this country is so
geared at present that we must
have an export trade, the speaker
asserted, and if that should be cut
off there would be terrific political
repercussions. All politicians would
find it difficult to resist such a
strain, he stated, adding: “One dan
ger of such a situation would be
that our business interests might be
as short-sighted as those of Eng
land and Prance have been in be
lieving that we could appease Ger
many.”
To avert such a situation, an in
ter-American security that will en
dure should be worked up, he sug
gested.
“Partial defense is no defense,” he
added. “The best airplanes, the
best warships will not be able to save
us if we are collapsing within.”
Mr. Foreman predicted that if
Germany should succeed in her war
with England, she undoubtedly
would try to lure us into trade with
her by appealing to our humani
tarianism.
Loan Plea Forecast.
“She would ask us to lend her
money with which to buy food for
the starving British, the starving
French, as well as the starving
Poles,” he said.
"If such a time should come,” he
continued, “our trade with Germany
should be governed by national in
terests and not by particular profits
which temporarily might accrue to
individuals. For example, it might
well be said we would be glad to
sell food and clothes, provided that
Germany paid for them with battle
ships and tanks, which would leave
us proportionately as strong after
the trading was done.”
Mr. Foreman has written a book,
“Total Defense,” to be issued in the
fall. His address was made at a
luncheon meeting at Wesley Hall
attended by a number of clubwomen.
Mrs. Charles L. Jones announced
the discussion at the committee's
session next Tuesday would be on
the problem of the child refugees.
Defense Plans Help
Middle-Aged Women
Little, Club Told
Regardless of increased employ
ment and activities resulting from
the national defense program, there
is small hope that the problems
of unemployed middle-aged women
will be solved thereby, according to
Mrs. Marjorie Shearon of the Bu
reau of Research and Statistics of
the Social Security Board.
Mrs. Shearon, chairman of the
recently formed Woman’s Occupa
tional Council composed of members
of approximately 30 local profes
sional and service women’s groups,
spoke before the Pilot Club at a
dinner meeting last night at the Ivy
Terrace Tea Room.
The new defense program will call
largely for skilled technicians and
workers in shipyards, airplane fac
tories and munitions plants, the
majority of whom will be men, Mrs.
Seharon pointed out.
A woman either untrained or with
past training, obliged to seek oc
cupation after 40 years of age, finds
almost unsurmountable obstacles,
she said. “If women cannot take

care of themselves in middle-age
what will become of them in old
age?” she asked.
Mrs. Shearon expressed the belief
that the only solution to the prob
lem was for the community to
accept the responsibility, appoint
an efficient, well-equipped council,
devoid of all political affiliations or
personal interests, and let the
council study the situation for the
purpose of creating Jobs for un
employed older, women. In her
opinion, this council could be well
supported through co-operation of
women’s groups contributing equally
to the program.
“The problem of the older un
employed woman is not one that
can be solved by regular employ
ment exchanges,” said Mrs. Shearon.
“The only positions available by
them are generally domestic, and
the highly trained, professional and
college educated woman is not
equipped for that kind of work.
Her problem is an individual one
and should be studied and handled
as such.”

Persian Paw Coats
increasingly popular because of
their beautiful moire markings
You marvel at their resemblance to fine Russian
caraculs or broadtails. And, in these coats at
Woodward & Lothrop, you find fur selected only
from better Persian lamb skins. Every coat is soft,
pliable and with the light weight that makes wear
ing it such a pleasure. In dyed black or natural
gray or brown, you find it in latest fashions—
swagger styles with small collars and bell or bishop
sleeves—beautiful fitted silhouettes. Prices, we
believe, most reasonable for the high quolity'rep
resented—but see for yourself os you try one on
(in the oir-conditioned comfort of our Fur Salon)
and revel in the sense of luxury it gives:
Black-dyed Persian Paw, $128 to $198.
