4 NY one who had been following
~ the progress of the good
~ neighbor" policy in the West
ern Hemisphere. could have
known that Latin Americans would
be jubilant over the reelection OF
President Roosevelt.
The most superficial review Of the
record of the past three and a half
years in the relations of the United
States with the Latin American coun-
tries revealed substantial and def
mite gains. The extraordinary improve
ment in various political and economic
aspects of Pan-Americanism. the re-
pudiation Of armed intervention, the
abandonment of dollar diplomacy"
the truly New Deal" for some Of the
smaller Caribbean nations, the bene-
fits of the reciprocal trade pacts con-
cluded with eight Of the Southern
countries, were concrete achievements,
carrying all the force of accomplished
facts. On the face Of these achieve
ments 1t is easy to predict-as did this
column-that throughout Latin Amer
lea the reelection of President Roose-
welt would be received enthusiastically,
as q significant Endorsement Of these
policies by public opinion, and as a
guarantee of their continuation for the
next four years.
Made Record Issue.
In the field of foreign affairs the
administration had made its own rec
ord the issue Of this election. In its
platform, as well as in the major pro-
nouncements Of its campaign spokes-
men, the party in power had pledged
itself to preserve and perfect the i'm
provement in inter-American rela-
tons brought about under the good
neighbor" policy.
It is true that the opposition, also,
had some attractive promises to make.
But, aside from the fact that the
Republicans had to stop at promises,
for they had no record Of achieve
ment to point to, even these promises
were marred by certain obvious con-
tradictions. AS this column stressed,
on the eve of the election, their at

their pledges to revoke it, their de-
nunciation Of all international agen-
cies for the maintenance of peace
now in existence, including the nom
political World Court, their somewhat
confused definitions of what consti-
tutes imperialism and what protection,
were dificult to reconcile with their
offers of greater inter American trade,
better instruments Of peace, more fire.
uuent use of the machinery for
arbitration, and less tampering with
Latin American sovereignty and
rights.
From the pan-American point OF
view, there was no question, therefore,
as to which side would have the
sympathies of the Latin America. But
this accounts only for part Of the Latin
American enthusiasm over the re-elec-
ton of President Roosevelt-the part
which may be called the "oficial reac-
ton" for it interprets the attitude OF
the Latin American governments, the
constituted authorities in each Amer
lean republic, joyous over the prospects
Of four more years OF closer eco
nomic and political pan-American re-
lations.
The other part is that which rep
resents the views and sentiments OF
the people Of Latin America. and
Of that you hear little in news dis

Meyer Davis, known as the mil. lionaire maestro is acknowledged to be one of the most important fig- ures in the musical world. He IS sometimes described as the "or- chestra czar," and rightly so, what with more than one hundred or chestras playing under his banner throughout the land. In night clubs, at country clubs. on hotel roofs in the larger cities, on the decks of ocean-bound vessels and in the dance rooms aboard snow boats and river steamers through out the country one finds his bands entertaining the guests. Besides these, he has several other units of picked musicians which he IS now readying for social functions.

 Washington, Nov. 25-In the most beautiful of the embassy buildings in Washington, alone among beau- tiful portraits of fat, powder-wigged ladies of the ancient Spanish court and many other aristocratic trap- pings, is a middle-aged professor of great learning and distinction, who muses over the relative ease with which this country accepted a New Deal.
 He Is Don Fernando de los Rios, the Spanish ambassador, until re- gently president of the University | of Madrid. He Is short, has . black beard, wears spectacles, and speaks in a soft, musical voice. His eyes sometimes flll with tears.
 He is one of the worlds most educated men, an internationally known authority on philosophy, medicine, political science, eco- monies and law.

All the People on One Side

Imagine, De Los Rios suggests, Mussolini bombarding Rome or Hit Ter Berlin. At least those dictators stirred up the people and achieved some mass support, he says. In Spain, he claims, the people" are all on one side. ..
 The most radical thing the Spanish republic did, De los Rios says, was to pass 8 law under the Constitution to modify the top- heavy concentration of land own- ership by spending 52,000.000 pesetas a year to buy up and re- distribute land.
 He displays spain's national budgets for past years, showing how an eight-year plan for 10000 primary schools-which he him self launched--has been half com pleted since the monarchy went out.
 If Madrid falls, the struggle will go on," declares Ambassador De los Rios. What can they do without the people? There will be mass sabotage unprecedented. The people. will not work for these cOnquerOrs. No triumph will be possible.

Aides Leave Him Alone

l one py one the arlSCOcraCS ana army officers of the embassy staff slipped off as the cables told of General Francos advances, until finally De los Rios was left alone with a couple of servants.
 The servants spend much time watching for Spanish news on the news ticker which is out behind palm in the embassy's marvellous patio, a great, high, brilliantly decorated space with delicate white pillars, a fountain, and many Spanish plants.
 De los Rios sits down and says
 there are things he cannot under
 stand-why the Spanish. people could not achieve social and eco-
 homie progress without melting the wealthy land owners and the
 army to campaign of mass mur- der; how the civilized world can accept the ravishment of Spain by half-savage Moors and mercenary Foreign Legion troops, or the mas sacre of women and children in the bombardment of Madrid; how 1t ever came about that the Span 'ish situation was so misrepre- scented in the American political campaign aS to convince many Americans that communism and religion were issues primarily in- volved.
 "These people are not Spaniards who bomb and burn our churches and museums and seats of culture in Madrid" insists the ambassa- dor. The pilots are either 1tal- ians or Germans. No Spaniard would bomb our women and chil- dren as they wait in line for milk"
