Most of these Japanese are

defense has been concentrated in
the Panama Zone because we
recognize its Importance. o n e
bomb would destroy what is re-
puted to be one of the greatest en-
%gineering feats in the world"
He reviewed briefly the history
of the building of t h e Panama
Canal and the fight against yellow
fever. The word Panama has an
Indian meaning of abundance of
fish. The canal is located in the

1903, and the first vessel passed
through August 8, 1914. The forma.
opening was in 1920.
Costa Rica is the most progress,
sive of Central America countries,
Whitfield said, and is looked upon
as the superior country in the
area. About 80 per cent of the
people are white and most OF
them literate.
The largest banana export coun.
try in the world is Honduras, and
the United and Standard Fruit
companies have millions of dol.
lars invested there. Large coffee
plantations are in Salvador, anc
two active volcanoes whose lava
furnishes excellent fertilizer for
the plantations.
Guatemala is a highly pro
American country, he said. The

population are all catalogued ano

ROOSEVELT THANKS
PEOPLE OBSERVING
HIS 59TH BIRTHDAY
Continued From PAGE One)

LIT is not that we feel no con-
cern for the plight of free peoples
elsewhere in the world; that we do
not hope that they may continue
the freedom of their governments
and their ways of life in the days
to come.
ut is because we believe in and
insist on the right of the helpless
and the weak and the crippled
everywhere to play their part in
life-and survive.
1T is because we know instinc-
lively that this right of the I'M
fortunate comes under our free
peoples philosophy from the bot
tom up and can never be imposed
from the top down."
