it is possible q 1t some temporary sue
cesses may be achieved in this direc-
tion-but the plainly dominent trend
, Of Latin-American policy is toward
Latin-American solidarity against Wall
Street.
Some of the leading spokesman of
Latin Americans, for instance, DR..
Alfredo Palacios of Argentina, rector
of the University Of the Platte-have
refused to attend the present centen-
NAL congress at Panama, on the
ground that the presence of the repre-
sentatives of the United States consti-
tutes an insult to the Bolivarian ira
dition.

gress is being held" Or. Paiacios re-
minded his hearers in recent adj
dress, at is neither wise nor just
that the independent nations Of the
now world should sanction by their
presence at the conference the ca
reer Of United States Imperialism,
which is the absolute master in Pan
anna, as Il is in other states Of the
continent"
Fling Defiance.
On the other hand, some of the out
spoken Latin-American enemies Of
United States imperialism-such as
Isidro Fabela Of Mexico-have taken
issue with DR.. Palacios, declaring that
it is necessary to go to the congress
and fling defiance of Wall Street and
Washington in the face OF the United
States representatives.
"Why 10 It necessary to attend the
conference?" asked Fabela. Be
cause, after all, the Panama con-
qress will serve to tighten, II only
a little, the fraternal bonds uniting
all Latin America. Il will place more
prominently before the eyes Of the
world the figure and work Of Boil
var, the liberator. II will, moreover,
offer a dramatic occasion for Latin
America to see at close range the
international situation Of the 18TH
mus Of Panama and of Central Amer
lea In relation TO the politics Of
Washington and the diplomacy OF
Wall Street."
No binding decisions can be taken
at the conference, as the delegates are
without plenary powers.

Our Children By Angelo Patri

grudeins mother When you think of
all we have gone through to bring him
so far and no return for it--well,
think it's time he went to work and
helped his parents little"
His parents didn't need Henry's
help. They needed far more to have a
boN~ well fitted for the place he in
tended to fill; boy who felt that his
father and mother loved him and be-
lieved in him. and were backing their
faith with their strength and their
money. They needed that influence
in their daily living far more than
Henry needed the college course. Love
has to be fed on service, and that
works both ways.
There comes time in the life Of
most families when the children tend
to pull away from home. That is right
They ought to do SO. 1t was for that
purpose they were born into the world
to go out and live a life wholly their
own and devoted to purpose all their
own. But they can do that and they
will do 1t. and still stay very close to
home If the home folks gave them life
without grlrdging. 1t ID the old story

Our List of Leaflets.

One Of the difficulties that arise be-.
tween half f-srown children and their
parents is the claims of parents. You
are my child. OF course. you will do
exactly what [ tell you
That will never work out. Children
do not belong to their parents in a
property sense. They must have per-
sonal freedom that they may know
spiritual freedom by which their souls
are saved Nor are children invest
ments upon which parents may hope
TO reap returns. Children are re.
sponsibilities for which their parents
asked. They must he accepted and
treated in that light. Whatever of
JOY and comfort they bring as the
wrested from life. Children really owe
us little. 1t is we who owe them.

and shows his desire to 60 q road
strange and fearful to his parents. the
strain must not be drawn to the break
ing point. Say what You feel in your
heart, but say it in kindness. without
bitterness. without threats. Never, II
NON value the relationship between
YOU, say to A girl or a boy: You're a
fool. and II you defy me in this you
need never darken my door again"
The child may take you at Four word.
Leave the door open, whatever hap
pens. The child may be mistaken. He
may be headed for all kinds Of trouble
and be blind and deaf to all your well
thought-out plans: he may be way
ward and sinful. but his life is his own
and he must live it and bear the
heaviest end or the consequent load.
II is true none of us can suffer alone.
'rhe wrong we do returns to harry all
that are near and dear. When the
children suffer We sorrow with them
and the pain is easier to bear IL we can
clasp hands over II.
Love between parents and children
does not thrive upon gr,idging. The
more one gives to the other, the fuller
the return to both. Any mother who
has given herself to her children with
out thought of return can tell you
that.

Then there is another thing. A we'll
dressed woman adopts the so-called
nannish suit-not because II makes her
more masculine but because through
sheer contrast the mannish details, Of
che suit make her appear more femi-
nine. Take the brown tweed suit
shown in. the sketch. 1t is distinctly
ma nnish, with conventional notched
collar. and straight pockets: The
charming effect is gained not because
the mannish effect is carried out in
details but because there IL lace
iabot at the neck and lace ruff1es at
the wrists.
Then there are tweed suits worn
with really Misunderstanding white
silk shir;s--but quite often these
tweed suits are of light blue, pink,
yellow or other colors that among us
twentieth-century Occidentals: are re
served for women entirely. There

Whether you like it or not, you will

the comments of this observer.
True in measure. Women's
clothes have become more comfortable

Sarily more masculine.
In the seventeenth century men
wore long hair and tightly.laced
clothes. Their clothes were in truth

that women of this generation have
worn. And yet records of those gay
old days clearly show that there was
nothing the least feminine or un-

who wore those clothes. Men appar.

from the old traditions. True, our
