While the immediate purpose of
the nationalist concentration was

Nazi Dominance

On the eve of the Pan-American
conference at Lima, Peru, three
experts in inter-American trade
took the public platform in Wash,
ington last night to give the lie
to Nazi dominance in Latin
America.
The trio-Warren L. Pierson,
president of the Export-Import
Bank; P. M. Haight, secretary
treasurer of the International
General Electric Company, and
William K. jackson, vice presi-
dent of the United Fruit Company
spoke under the auspices of the

Washington University at the U.
S. Chamber of Commerce Build
ing.
Speaking on Can the United
States Retain Latin American
Trade and Cultural Relations
Against German, Italian and Jap
anese Competition" the speakers
said the totalitarian States were
making inroads in Latin America,
but added that there was no occa-
sion for great alarm.
jackson dashed out at the to-
talitarian states by declaring:
mo country of America which
believes in religious freedom can
accept culture which is colored
by political leaders who not only
dominate the religious thought Of
their people but even dictate the
name of the God to whom their
applications must arise"
And what is the political cul.
ture which is being offered to the
people of the Americas in its
placer" he asked.
Intolerance and a removal of
civil liberties, he told his au.
dience.
The people of South America
will not give up their democracy
for these concepts, he said.
