Paraguay proper shut in by
large and powerful neighbors has
had a stormy history since Jesuits
first penetrated the area in the
16th century.
Breaking loose from Portuguese
Brazil In 1806. Paraguay became
independent But in 1860. under
the dictatorship of Francisco Lopez
Paraguay was plunged in a war
aiy: the Triple Alliance. Uruguay
Argentina and Brazil which last-
ed four years.
Oaring that period 1200 000
Paraguayans perished either In
battle or from disease out of a
population of 1500.000.
As a result women outnumber
the men 12 to one in Paraguay
today. In fact the women are the
fiercest defenders of the country
and have asked to bear arms if
war comes.
Life in Paraguay is unhurried
and peaceful ordinarily. Brown -
skinned youngsters run naked.
The women have the habit of car-
rying all bundles on their heads
which gives them a remarkably
erect and graceful walk. Most
Paraguayans are intermixed
Guarani and Spanish blood dark-
erungs skins and resulting in many
beauties.

TRADE PARLEY
ACCORD LOOMS
OTTAWA. Aug. 11. —— The
Canadian and British delegations
to the Imperial Economic Confer-
ence were reported preparing today
to make additional tariff preference
concessions in an attempt to reach
a final trade agreement.
It was indicated Great Britain
now was ready to accept a program
whereby extensive preferences
would be accorded dominion natu-
ral products notably lumber meat
and possibly wheat while Canada
was reported ready to go further
than first suggested on iron steel
coal and a limited range of textiles
A new spirit of optimism was de-
clared to have followed these de-
velopments. Some circles manifest-
ed doubt as to willingness of Pre-
mier Bennett of Canada to extend
substantial new concessions how-
ever. Canadian industrial groups
were frankly skeptical as to how
far Canada could go. particularly
on cotton textiles.
GERMANS QlIH
FUSS TO FETE
NEW REPUBLIC
■ ■ ■ ' ■
BERLIN. Aug. 11. UP—Adolf Hit-
ler's advance t-oward the German
chancellorship slipped momentarily
into the background today as Ger-
many celebrated the 13th birthday
of the republic.
Strange Celebration
It was perhaps the strangest
celebration of “constitution daf” in
all these 13 years for outdoor poli-
tical meetings were forbidden and
republican groups holding their an-
niversary’ exercises under the joise
of party assemblies huddled in-
doors. forbidden to rejoice openly
at the founding of the republic.
The outward form of curtotn was
observed in the Reichstag where
Baron von Gayl minister of the ul-
terior was orator of the day and
Pres von Hmdenburg was cheered
as he entered the presidential box.
The socialists ardent defenders of
the republic did not attend. Neith-
er did the commonists. Adolf Hit-
ler Is away In the Bavarian Alps-
Chancellor von Papen requested
leaders of the centrist party head-
ed by former Chancellor Heinrich
Bruening. to call on him today to
discuss their attitude toward turn-
ing the chancellorship over to Hit-
ler.
(tip Wings
The centrists are noted for their
political astuteness and there was
a feeling they might agree to toler-
ate Hitler provided all power Is
not surrendered to his Nazis.
The consensus in informed cir-
cles was that the centrists and Pres
von Hmdenburg were agreed Hitler
would be more Innocuous as chief of
a coalition government than as
leader of the Nazi movement with-
out responsibility.
