What does foreign trade have to Ho with wars? The San Francisco Conference is working out an organization to keep the peace. President Trumnn had foreign trade' in mind, among other things, when in opening this conference, he said : -The construction' of 'this delicate machine is

far more comulieated than drawing boundary lines on. a map

or. estimating fair reparations, or placing reasonable on armaments." , Upon the settlement of so-thought-to-be side rests chances of success or failure of the conference.'

' dent Roosevelt continuously. urged attention to removing "the political, economic and social causes of war." Among these details is the most fruitful field for confusion and opposition to a workable peace plan. Here, in fact, opposition has already shown up. In conflicts over these , derails lie the real threat of World War III, and not in much 'advertised "'big' three" arguments about such things as Poland or permanent chairmanships. . . .. ' It is of utmost importance to peace and good business that trade cross international boundary lies as freely as possible.. High tariff walls and uncertainties of international ex chanfie rates have been the main barriers. These. two practices pauperize millions of people throughout the earth by reducing the volume of international trade.' Proposed as a solution to some of these difficulties is the Bret-ton Woods Agreement. It will be considered at the San : Francisco Conference and is also before Congress, j ; One feature of the. Bretton Woods" Agreement is the International Monetary Fund. Its purpose' would.be to stabilize international currency., The Fund's influence in' commerce would be: ' ' ' " . .' .' ' : . , ! A Brazilian importer,' for instance, could 'contract with a .rUnited States concern for n certain number of machines. The machines would net be delivered for six months. But at the jtirae the trade is made the Brazilian importer: would .know jhow much each, jh aching, would .cost him, yh.en". .delivered, in Brazilian cruzeiros. But n now, and never in the past, has it been possible for a business man to know exactly how much, An his own country's money an article will .cost him. 1 Through chance oi 'manipulation the number of cruzeiros

per dollar might go upHn that pse the. Brazilian importe . would find the nutdnril?. vesting him more cruzeiros. His 'resale arrangements. would be upset. A slight change in exchange rates could seriously affect .the Brazilian importer's profit. A violent .swing, .which 'often happens, could-make-the whole trade altogether unworkable. It could happen, though, that the business men. of the two countries would plow through these difficulties, taking serious losses at. times, and over .a period of years establish a good trade between themselves. Suppose then-Dutch. manufacturers should want to horn in on the business. Dutch bankers could, (it is a common practice) run the value of. the Dutch guilder down. There would be more Brazilian cruzeiros per guilder. This .would reduce the price of the Dutch article to. the Brazilian importer.. He. would switch to Dutch sources of supply. This is trade war. Trade wars breed armed conflicts. The International Monetary -Fund would correct difficulties outlined above. All member nations would.be lequired to consult the managers. -of the Fund before changing exchange rates. There would have to be a good reason. The, Fund would help each country keep its exchange at the prescribed rate. The Fund proposed to be set up as a part of the United Nations Organization, is to be capitalized at. $8.8 billion. Each country would subscribe to stock according to its volume of trade. Voting control over management of . the Fund would be in proportion to each country's subscription. The subscription of the United States would be 2.75 billion and the largest. . The International Monetary Fund is meeting opposition in the press and in Congress. (It was sent' to .Congress by President Roosevelt with a strong message, urging its ap-i proval.) The opposition comes from interests who have manipulated exchange rates to their prof it.. .Some business men still) think they could win In a dog-eat-dog fight for markets, i Maybe thye could. They could also make certain we will have! World War HI. And we would have less markets for what we

. produce and fewer jobs. Flpridian.

They were perhaps ten'feet"apart when Jack threw the knife with a whiplike motion of his arm. It 'struck ,4ggie in the chest; his hand went up to the place with the swiftness of a" reflex. '''" ' But the knife did not .'.penetrate Plum's heart. It made a hard sound Mid Aggie caught it as it bounced . away. In doing so, he cut his fingers. Jack froze. -' "I don't need any more proof now, 10 IV- queried Aggie. "Why didn't you get me,- when I carried Hank sut?;' ' ,. :."." ; .; Jack was straightening up, slowly. "JUi's. Drayman conieied me," he said huskily. ''Talked and talked. And I hadn't put the rug back so I had to stand there." "Well," went on Aggie, "I dropped into the el lib. to check up on you. I've got on a sort of waistcoat. A rajah save it fo me. Water buffalo hide. 'It's supposed to be bulletproof. And 'it's turned spcars irt its ddy. Will you come now, Jack ?" , For another. ..second, - Browne leaned toward Aggie bis face as white as plaster and as rigid. Then he spuii mound and started for the gun on the bureau, The knife caught him between the tendons at the back of his knee and drove deep into the joint. He staggered and screamed. Afegie was on him, from behind. " ' ' ' Windlo drove the station wagon, which Surah used for transportation, from he cement highway to Indian Stones, and stopped at the side of Rainbow Lodge. The springs genuflected to deposit her. When she entered her living room, where her nephew was whistling a popular 'airy her maternal smile faded to a look of consternation. . 4 Aggie, in trunks and sandals, was . staring into a mirror which lay flat 011 the center table. Beside the mirror was a round tin of brown sjioe polish. (He dabbed : his left ..'thumb into the tin and applied the polish to his thin, which was.shaved bare. Then he wrinkled his nose. "Smell," he said. ."No 'good. But it'll look like Sam' Hill till it's sunburned." a ,. - Aggie's chin rr the Plum chin was pronounced. .' Not massive, but sharp and belligerent. It was also pale in contrast to the rest of his face. Sarah repressed a desire to have hysterics as he solemnly wiped away the shoe, polish. "John's idea," he said.. "I didn't have much, confidence in it, anyhow." ' " "John told you (,o shave off your beard!" "No. John told me to; use shoe polish till. I got a nun idn. How's Hank?" " ' f Sarah settled in a chair carefully so as not to burst into laughter. "He's fine. He made a statement for Wes today.

worm out of him where the gold was hidden. When he was satisfied Hank really didn't know he just stopped seeing him. Left him with the tinned food, a few candles, and Some solidified alcohol. He'd have gone away and let Hank die." "He isn't a nice fellow,! Aggie said, rising. "Bright but in the wrong way. Has Wes found where Jack put the gold, yet?" Sarah was some time in replying. "There isn't any gold. Calder stole it all. Ralph's checking his records and they show it indirectly. Nothing left but my platinum. Jack buried it on the green at the ninth hole where they'd just done some resodding. It's a strange thing that Jim Calder would rob Byron and George but not rite.""Human nature," Aggie said, "is strange. .Well " He gestured u sort of salute with his right hand, which was bandaged. Sarah shuddered slightly at the sight of the bandages. "Every time I think of you going after Jack barehanded, that way " "I was in p. hurry and mad," he answered. "If he'd had a gun in his pocket and used it 1 might have been able to close in. That buffalo shirt has several layers. Tough as metal. But I figured that if 1 supplied him with a little less penetrating weapon he'd use it. And the hide is ideal for knives. My fingers are okay." He grinned. "1 thought you didn't want to hear any more, ever, about my prowess at analysis and deduction." "I don't," said Sarah. "Where are you going?" "Swimming. You ought to be able to dope that; out. Trunks and sandals. And speaking' of deduction about Beth." Sarah started with such force that the chair creaked. ."Beth? What about Beth?" "She isn't engaged, is she?" , . The effect of that question was remarkable. Sarah's color waned and she opened her mouth twice before she spoke. "D.o you think, Agamemnon, that a girl like Beth handsome .but rather prosaic ?" "I think she'll make Ralph a swell wife! He told me last night he was going to propose."' , , Aggie walked innocently toward the door. His aunt stared at him with hostility. "You beast!" ' "Am I so naive that it.is.peyessary for you to force one Woman into my cognizance' in order t'ojdraw attention to another?"'' " 1 u 4 ;; ' Her stare began to melt. "Just what?" "When we first rode up here," Aggie weA'oii, "you Vouchsafed you had a brkle picked out for me. Now, you have always known that I shy from females. .

something. Ebony hair, ivory skin, turquoise eyes. Stirring. But I was never really baffled. You see that first night when you sent me for Dr.- Davis you did not tell me to phone. You told me to get the keys and take the car. At that time, the Davis phone was working perfectly and the Plum car was running like a top.' I subsequently thought of that, I decided that your agitation that evening was real but that you had also decided that if I happened to rouse my quondam childhood) playmate it would make a nice, running start for one of those summerflirtations that lead to so many( new homes in suburbs." "You're a rat!" exploded Sarah, "and you're wrong." "Knowing me," he continued, "you might judge that I would pursue this maiden as a sort of irritant to you and your selection. Needless to say, I did no such thing." , "You slapped her," said Sarah. "You bawled her out and ordered her around." She looked at his faee a moment and sighed. "All right! I give up! I've always thought that of all the girls Indian Stones ever produced, Danielle Davis was the best suited to carry on and abet the Plum- line.'.. ; Aggie's brows lifted thoughtfully and with sympathy. "Danielle's very much impressed," he said, "with my executive force. She has a good education in biology. She'd be a help keeping my antiuopologieal. notes. 1 said I hadn't chased the woman. But . . . she came back from New York the other night entirely on my account." Sarah's eyes were suspicious. "Don't kid me! Danielle orders her men arpund. She doesn't chase." Her mouth popped open again. "Aggie!' Is that why you shaved oil your beard? Did Danielle tell you to?" ; '.-:.' He flushed. "Well, -she hinted at it." Then he spoke severely; "Onlu Sarah and 'mark this well only after I had got her promise to marry me bearded!" Her mirth was being replaced by a new expression an expression amazement and joy and Gargan-' tuan sentiment. . ' Aggie fled. When he reached the boathouse, he saw Danielle in a beach chair on the grass at somt distance from the others and' out of their line of view. She was lying back in the chair, relaxed, with hei ; eyes closed. The sun molded her in the relief of black shadows, and glittered on her red-gold hair whict had poured itself smoothly over tht back of the chair.. It began, at once, to pinken the tender skin whc Aggie's beard had been. He put hi. hand to the spot and realized that the austere whiskers would givt him' authority no longer, H frowned.
