and spectacular

ing" conferences and spectacular
good will missions.
The second way is that Of business
men and travelling commercial agents.
They advocate the esta blishment of
closer economic links as the only
means of turning into material reali-
ties the dreams of theoretical inter-
nationalists. To certain extent, 1t
must be admitted, they were once
among the pioneers Of the pan-Amer-
lean movement, though perhaps with
out realizing it. Because of the world
depression and the awakening Of eco
nomic nationalism in the southern
continent. both their enthusiasm and
their influences have dwindled In re-
cent years.
Outside these two methods. the po-
litical and the economic which are the
only two so far attempted-imper-
fectly. of course-in century of inter-
American relations, there is another,
almost ignored to this day. which
might be called the intellectual ap-
proach.
The principle behind it is not new,
but its application only recently has
been suggested. Its promoters are men
OF letters, educators, college professors,
writers and other "idealists" who never
have enjoyed much favor with hard
boiled public opinion. They believe
that the best way to attain. and GER
tainly to approach, the goal OF pam
Americanism is that of better knowl-
edge of each other, cultural inter-
change, and the mutual understanding
which only popular education can
avail.
Although the real solution probably
will be found only when the three
methods are put to work simultane-
ously-not before-the merits of the
third one are self-evident. If none OF
the three alone could, by itself, suf-
flee, the third method has the advan-
tage that it may show the way to the
other two and simplify their problems,
minimize their obstacles.
Scholars Are Preferred.
The settlement of political differ
ences Is, obviously, an essential re-
quirement before any two nations, or
any group of nations, can come to
lasting friendship. Discussions as to
principles and practices of interna-
tional law are serious enough to block
| the road forever. So are political
dogmas and "shibboleths." The ef-
forts Of diplomacy, with its two great
weapons, conciliation and arbitration,
are sorely needed. But political ad-
justments and diplomatic compromises
are only temporary. II misunderstand-
ings, mutual ignorance and the suspt-

cions which both create are allowed
to remain in the way.
Economic ties also must be &C
corded the importance they deserve in
furthering international goodwill. In
an era of scientific progress, rpid
means of communication, radio, wire
less and mass production. commercial
links and material contacts should
have considerable weight in building
up friendship among countries which
have everything to gain from their mu-
tual cooperation. But friendship
based purely on material foundations
Is not permanent. 1t Is not even reli-
able. Under the present organization
of society, economic links are artificial.
intended for private benefit or, at the
most, for temporary national purposes.
As things stand today, it cannot be
repeated too often, one should not hesi-
tate to prefer the pan-Americanism OF
scholars to the pan-Americanism OF
politicians or Of travelling salesmen,
even il the former may still be for the
public the pan.Americanism Of vision
aries.

Howland Cox
The other two, in Latin America,
are the annual Summer schools on
inter-American problems soon to be-
gin at the University of Mexico and
the National University of Panama.
While the first two are devoted each
year to particular phase of pam
Americanism. these have in view an
even more ambitious and thorough
program, covering nearly every i'm
portant subject relating to the racial
origins, the history. the art, the lit

Latin America, besides a frank and
unorthodox review of inter American
relations.
Course Is Wide in Scope.
At the Panama Summer school, for
instance, which the writer visited last
year. students were given courses
ranging all the way from the folklore
and customs of the native civilizations
of Mexico, Central America, Peru and
Ecuador down to the more controver-
sial discussion Of such timely topics
as the Canal treaties, the good neigh
Dor" policy, the Mexican six-year plan
and the Chaco dispute.
The significance of these pioneering
efforts in the pursuance Of interna-
tional understanding through educa-
ton cannot be overestimated. The
greatest hindrance to the progress Of
pan-Americanism Is the astounding
lack of knowledge of the culture,
ideals, habits and ways Of thinking of
one another between the peoples liv.
ing on both sides Of the Rio Grande.
There are, as we have often stressed
in these columns. three ways Of ap-
preaching pan Americanism. First.
that of government officials, verbose

textile mills which operated for 8 1-2
months without any lost time accid-
ents, in the Statewide textile safety

DINA Cotton Manufacturers Associa-
ton and the North Carolina Indus
trial Commission, were announced

ing $50 employees or less. The sewing
and bleachery of the Erwin Cotton
Mills, Durham, won the first prize
trophy in Group II, including mills
having between $50 and $50 employees.
The trophy in Group III, composed
of mills with more than 100 employees
was won by The Revolution Cotton
Mills Company, (the Cone mills) in
Greensboro.
The contest started July 1, 1886 and
closed October Is and 173 plants COM
peted in the contest, but because of
the amount of work and time requir-
ed to compute the results, the out
come of the contest was not announc-
ed until today.
The results of the contest show that
in addition to the three top winners,

operated for the entire period without

"The textile industry of the State
as well as the N. c. Cotton Manufac-
turers Association are to be congrat-
