CUBAN NEIGHBORS
LIKE OUR ONIONS
Now, it develops, we have
something else in common with
one of our Middle American
neighbors. That something is
the onion.
Not to be sniffed at, either,
are these cargoes of onions. In-
volving 32,441,854 pounds dur-
ing 1946, they were valued at
$1,372,193.
It looks like a good bargain
for both the U. S. and Cuba.
We enjoy their pineapples and
cocoanuts, their tobacco, bana-
nas and tomatoes transported
by United Fruit Company's
Great White Fleet -- and they,
in turn, are eager for our
onions. Much of the gastro-
nomic allure would be missing
from such Cuban Culinary
creations as arroz con pollo
(saffron-tinted chicken and
rice), rueda de pargo (fish
cooked in a sauce of onions,
peppers, peas and tomatoes)
and caldo gallego (beans, cab-
bage, potatoes) -- without the
indispensable and healthful
onion.

The way to convince another
is to state your case moderate-
ly and accurately. Then scratch
your haed, or shake it a little
and say that is the way it seems
to you, but that of course you
may be mistaken about it;
which causes your listener to
receive what you have to say
and, likely as not, turn about
and try to convince you of it,
since you are in doubt. But if
you go at him in a tone of
positiveness and arrogance,
you only make an opponent of
him.

The successful man lengthens
his stride when he discovers the
signpost has decived him. The
failure looks for a place to sit
