BORDER BROTHERHOOD TO BE
FORMED TO FOSTER HARMONY
Plan Offered By III. L;mon At Tijuana Luncheon
Proved Effective In Nogales By Work
Of Writ c. Bowman
(By Myron Lustig in the San Diego

(By Myron Lustig in the San Diego
Union)
Within two weeks an information
al border organization will be op-
Grating to take an active hand in
fostering understanding and real
harmony between Americans and
Mexicans. The organization, which
tentatively can be referred to as a
'brotherhood'' will strike officially
at the many "gooowill'' expressions
of the past behind which was no
substance, promises of mutual CO
operation" that have done nothing
to lessen racial prejudice, contempt
and general lack of understanding.
The unlimited scope of influence
which such an organization could
develop has been recognized al
ready by administration officials OF
both the United States and Mexi-
can governments.
Harmony Doubted
The idea of such an organization
came to light Unexpectedly Satur-
day when a group of Americans and
Mexican businessmen, lunching in
Tijuana, discussed the last para
graph of Arthur Brisbane's column
in The Union of Friday morning.
Brisbane wrote:
"The ideal arrangement would be
one government from the Panama
canal to the north pole, Mexico, the
United States and Canada, one big
nation
The men gathered exchanged
opinions frankly. The gist of their
thought was that harmony between
Americans and Mexicans would be
difficult to develop. They spoke of
racial restrictions in social affairs,
Of the contempt shown people of the
other race by border workers, of
countless incidents reflecting pre-
judice and narrow -mindedness and
misunderstanding.
