countries was the burden of a statement by Acting Secretary of State Frank l.. Polk tooay in urging that the newspapers tion to news of the Latin American coun- tries Mr Polk said he hoped the Amer ican newspapers would take this means of educating the people of the United States importance and greatness of our neigh bcrs of South and Central America and pointed out that by lending their aid to the furtherance of this education the newspapers would be fulfilling a public duty to the government.
 '.The more we know of the other coun- tries of North and South America" said MT. Polk today, the less likelihood there is of misunderstanding The nations of the world are becoming more and more interdependent daily with the increased efficiency of transportation and com munication facilities. Exchange of news results inevitably in better relations and a fuller comprehension of the efforts that are being made by the different coun- tries to solve the problems of civiliza- tion. Improved commercial relations are accompanied by better cultural relations.
 "One result of the European war has been to show the United States how com pletely our interests lie in this hemis~ phere. With peace restored our interest in European affairs will be more theo- retical than real but we have and must have closer relations with our neighbors in Central and South America. The peo- pie of Latin America are intensely inter ested in the United States. The news papers of Central and South America print a great deal of news about this country. It would be of incalculable ben- eft if the newspapers of the United States would pay more attention to news re
