MANY CONTRASTS On the northern edge of Sduth America are the three "Bolivar" countries: Venezuela. Colombia and Ecuador.

But though bound geo graphically, they have differed radically since their deliverance from Spain. The story is that Venezuela became a barracks. Co lombia a university, and Ecuador a monastery. In wealthy Venezuela, which lives on oil. the cost of liv ing is about 250 per cent higher than in New York City.

But Ecua dor close by is one of the poorest countries in the world. Uruguay and Paraguay are small countries within 100 miles of each other. Uruguav is one of the most advanced countries in the world. and Paraguay is one of the most primitive. Uruaguay has a highly developed social conscience, state control of industry.

paternalistic co operatives, and an almost too pure political democracy. But Paraguay is the one Pan American country where the Indian. has; as it were, absorbed the Spaniard instead of vice versa. Peru has turned from a military dictatorship to a moderately liberal constitutional form of government.

It is agreed (and without any stretch of the imagination) that the Allies cannot win a war wltn 'Aryans" alone. That is the rea son that tne unuea oiaies can take a lesson from England and lay her plans well. Our Pan American neighbors are certainly going to play a very important part in the salvation of our cause. The more that we know aoout them, the better co operation will be effected. In previous articles I have "tOHched upon a little of the social and cultural life of our "South of the Border" friends.

It is pertinent at tnis time, to give more than a passing glance at those who mean more to us. than just another ally. As mentioned before, the Pan American Hemisphere is composed of approximately twenty independent and highly individualistic countries, which differ from one. another.

However, we must judge these people on the basis of their own stand ards and not on our own. The trend is towards democracy by all outward Our neigh boring continent may be frontier conscious, but it is not crucified by frontiers as in Europe. How ever, it is by no means easy to devise means and methods for dealing with twenty independent states on a common issue. At the present writing there are about 120.000.000 people in the Pan American hemisphere. Of these not more than 25,000.000 are pure white and most of these are clustered in three countries.

There are about 15.000.000 pure Indian mostly in Mexico and Andean Highlands. All the rest are Mestizo (mixed blood egro and Indian) some 63, 000,000 people. we Know mat a mixture is an unstable compound and this pic ture presents a problem of psv etiological instability that derives i from a complex racial iace win play a very important part in our endeavor to insure cordial hemispheric relations. It cannot be dealt with, as some short sighted individuals in this country are desirous of doing. The majority of our allied South American friends are colored.

Let's not make the mistakes of the British Empire waiting until it is too late to act. At the same time we must eliminate the color discrimination at home or these Pan American allies will not be sold on the United States' ideas of democracy, and that would indeed prove fatal to the cause for which we are fighting. It is being proved daily that the "white democracies' cannot prosecute this war to a desirable finish without giving recognition ana assurance to tne colored peo ple or tne worm that they TOO ARE WELCOME AT HOME AND ABROAD.

Est. IMS Negro civilians in attempting to release a comrade who had been arrested by military police and to have used violence against the city patrolman. No matter who started the row. the disorder was no iso lated incident, and the whole series should demonstrate to the war deDartment that itj is asking for trouble when it persists in sending colored troops into a Known climate of racial intolerance. "The war department after the Alexandria shootings recognized the army's responsibility for maintaining order among troops on leave by promising to correct deficiencies of military police control.

The performance has not lived up to the promise. If the war depart ment expects creditable conduct in battle from its colored troops, it will get them out of the south.
