PAPER ITSELF WAS EVIDENCE
In This Case Examiner Required No

At certain college custom ordains
that at examination time each of the
candidates shall write the following
pledge at the bottom of his papers: \
Il hereby declare, on my honor, that

One student, after handing in one
of the papers, suddenly remembered
that in his haste he had omitted Co
write the oath. On the following day
he sought out one of the examiners
and told him that he had forgotten
to put the required pledge on his pa

marked:

Pan AMERICAN AMITY


The disposition to look toward
South America fer closer commercial
ties and more voluminous ex-
change of products Is nothing new
For sevcral years there has been in
the United States a definite effort to
get into closer relations with the re-
publics Of Central and South Ameri-
ca.
This has been promoted through
societies In New York, New Orleans
and Washington. AS il were the Uni
'cd States has been introduced to the
sister republics and the acquaintance
is ripening rapidly.
The bulk of commerce Of the re-
publics south OF us has been going to
Europe. There are several natural
reasons. One Is that the countries
were peOpled by settlers from Latin
Europe. or southern Europe and there
Is more OF natural affinity. Second,
the European countries have the
commercial steamship lines. Third,
the southern republics have always
been somewhat dlffident toward. and
Just little bit suspicious of the Uni
ted States. Frequent changes In the
personnel Of the government at WASH
1ngton have made It impossible to
gauge absolutely the inclination of
the American people with reference to
imperialism" But our failure COM
mercially. in the PHILIPPINES, and the
menace pf our holding there with ref
erencc to our national integrity is
such that the world now knows that
the United States Is likely never again
~ seek or to accept territory.
The crisis in Europe has made the
way clear for the United States to
start n whirlwind campaign in South
America. Advertising" pays. Now is
the time to advertise in South Amer
lea. to let those people know that this
nation Is alike producer and a con-
sumner.
1t appears to us that within ten
years the United States should become
the greatest Of all world powers and
that the South. producer of cotton,
having n monopoly of the stap,e,
should become the richest par. or
America.
