publishers -
The coming Pan-American Congress
of Journalists is expected to result in
an exchange of views which Will be or
great value from an inter-Americap
standpoint. The editors OF the two
continents, il IS believed, have much
to learn from each other, and a better
understanding in the interpretation Of
news of the Americas IS anticipated
from the rubbing of elbows and from
tho contacts established when the edi-
tors of the two continents meet. II
tho discussion at Santiago, which led.
to the adoption of the resolution

Pan American Congress of Journalists
emphasis was laid on the importance
of such a conference. II the editors
OF the Americas understood each other
better, if they were brought through
exchange of ideas TO know each other
better, II was held that the peoples of,
North and South America would come
to know each other better-the editor
being responsible to a large extent for
the understanding or misunderstood
ing which exists between peoples-anG
thus genuine Pan-Americanism would
be developed.

THE countries of Latin America are
playing an increasingly important role
in the affairs of the world 1t is most
important that through the rapid

tions of America, and particularly
through the enlightened Interpretation
OF such news, the people of this cont,
| nent be kept fully informed Of out
standing events and of the trend o.
public opinion. 1t is through con
slant interchange of views and iInpres-
sions that real continental public

certain to contribute greatly toward
this end. The interchange of views
and contacts established at that time
by the journalists of the United States
with those Of Latin America will have
an important bearing on the future
relations between this country and

| The editors of the United States will
have much to learn in return for what
they inpart from the directing heads
of the greatest dailies and other pub
lications in South America and the
other republics of this hemisphere
Mutual benefits will be derived, il Is
! believed, from the differences in jour
nalism between the north and the
south, and the institutional character
OF many of the papers through Latin
America, extending as they do into
many fields Of public activity and in,
terest, which the newspapers Of the
United States leave TO other public or
| private institutions TO perform VII
/ furnish many new ideas, in the opinion
