ItaIy's Fight Unnatural,
Senator Thomas SAYS
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated freSs'
PHILADELPHIA, March 1.-The
future existence of Italy and Japan
depends upon the freedom of the
seas which the United States and
Great Britain have maintained
since the time of President Monroe,
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Utah
declared tonight.
"ItaIy's very existence depends
upon this free order of control,
Senator Thomas said in speech
before the Welsh Society of Phila-
delphia's 212th anniversary dinner
Therefore, the fight she is fighting
today is as unnatural a one as her
membership in the pre-World War
triple alliance, which she broke"
Japan's rise to first rank among
nations also has been under the
benefits of the free sea control,
Senator Thomas said, adding, Can
Japan hope to survive as an entity
on any but free-ocean basis; sur
rounded as she is by the three
bulkiest, slowest moving national
entities in the world, China, Russia
and the United States?"
Similarly" he added, I'VE might
ask can the dream of Hitler come
true by attempting to dominate all
his neighbors on basis which every
one of those neighbors cannot help
but resent in the long run?"

Literary Editor Of Ell Diario nlustrado,
Santiago. Chile. and guest member of
The Star staf for two months
The decision of the international
jury in the contest of unpublished
Latin American novels is an event
and should be a red-letter day in
the happy unfolding of intellectual
relations between the United States
and South America. With this IN
mind, the old and wise sentence:
Not by bread alone does man
live" bears repeating. Certainly.
the deepest and mosE lasting under
standings are those which bring
one people closer to another, al
most, we'd say heart to heart" in
the field of intelligence and art, un-
deflled by destructive passions.
This contest, whose transcend
ence is not to be doubted was
organized through the joint collabo-
ration of diverse entities: The Of
flee of Intellectual Cooperation OF
the American Union; the pub
fishing house of Farrar & Rine-
hart. and the literary societies
which. in each country to the south,
will take over the compromising task
of selecting the work most represent
ative. 1t is true that nations like
Chile. Costa Rica, Paraguay and
Venezuela have each selected two
novels without going outside the
conditions set up. AS interesting
and pleasing data, it is well to
remember that three women ap-
pear among the final candidates.:
Yolanda Oreamuno of Costa Rica,
CASTOR Lahire of Honduras and
Telma Lares of Paraguay.
Enthusiasm Understandable.
The enthusiasm aroused by the
Latin American novel in this coun-
try is quite understandable. The
works of our writer's reflect the SEN
timents, customs and regional beings
with their well-def1nited character
istics with unmistaking accuracy.
In the field of Spanish literature,
the countries to the South have
their own particular literature and
private idiomatic expressions, often
times impossible of translation.
They have also their drama and
their legend. America still
appears, before the eyes of the
world, as a mysterious. fabulous con-
tinent, whose secrets have as yet
not been entirely uncyphered. This
is truei Down deep, each South
American country is trying to find
itself, and, in this search, in this
introspective excursioning, the writ
ers have, in my opinion, the first
