their autreach. When neutral or evil
personalities go from one nation t.
another the sending forth of few
hundreds embodying that nation s
finest spiritual and moral sense is die
tated by the consideration of national
self-respect."
The commission finds that in recent
decades intemperance has increased
enormously in Latin American coun-
ries, largely owing to the introduction
pf whiskey. In the larger cities the
use of whisky by foreigners is declar-
ed to be well nigh universal and to
have most pernicious effect. Chile is
declared to be the chief victim of in
temperance. One traveller is quoted
as saying that there was more drunk
ness in Chile than in any of twenty
two countries he had visited.
Referring more specifically to the
relations between the United States
and Latin-America the Commission
vigorously denounces the attitude OF
many Americans toward their south
ern neighbors for their intolerance
and arrogance.
"The American himself is
rot guiltless of vainglory," it says,
hut he has much to endure from the
northern aliens within his borders.
The offenders have been aggressive
commercial agents, the plundering
type of concessionaries, overbearing
arrogant Industrial managers and
bosses, staggering tourists, ill-bred
consular and diplomatic representa-
tives, and, occasionally, condescending
missionaries.
The Commission finds, however, thai
the United States and her citizens art
in process of mending their manners

At the same time it is asserted that
there is a deep-rooted distrust of the
purposes of the United States on the
part fthe Latin-Americtns.

port, than doubt concerning the use.

States and her people suffer from

suspicion because of many instances
of territorial aggression. The remov.
al Of the onus is in the hands of the
present and future statesmen of all
these powers and of the nations whose
sentiments and ambitions they re-
fleet"
The Commission finds, however, that
the racial animosity between the nor.
thern and southern halves of the
Western hemisphere is subsiding and
says that the cooperation of several
powers in the Mexican crisis has help
e1 to bring about a much better feel e.
irg.
In conclusion the Commission de-
clares that the present plans anu
forces of the Protestant church in the
Latin-American field are "pathetically
inadequate" and that there is urgent
need of large and immediate reinforce
ment. 1t urges the perfectjng in some
