More books on South America

air our Good Neighbor policy,
now that many of the nations
to the south are our allies

more publishers should have
found it profitable to produce
such books before, and fewer on

international swank spots, our

would be even better today.

DON'T PLAY HlTLER'S GAME

The President, in the inspiring
speech in which he set new goals for the
national war effort, oIso called otten-
ton to still another answer to the
question what can do?"
He pointed to field in which ev-
cry man, woman, and child can serve
his country. 1t is the field Of morale.
Be vieiIont, he urged, o9oinst ro-
cioI discrimination in any Of its ugly
forms. Be wary Of any who try to breed
mistrust and suspicion between one in
dividuoI and another, one group and
another, one race and another, one
government and another.
Z When you hear person doing any
of those things, the chances are that
he or she is merely on innocent dupe.
In thot case merely make it plain that
you do not agree, for the mere chol-
heneine of SUCH statements is usually
enough to shake them and rob them Of
their effect.
There is no place in great oosmo-
poIiton America at any time for this
9roup-o9oinst-9roup, roce-o9oinst-roce
business at any time. Today we simply
cannot Oxford it, for there lie failure
and defect.

agent. He is probably innocent. But
what he does serves Hitler, and may be
ootuoIIy planned by Hitler agents.
In his most serviceobIe book, 1.-THE
Strategy Of Terror" Edmond Taylor
shows clearly how the deliberate
spreading Of defeotist runors by Hit
Ter oeents definitely contributed to the
foil Of France. The confidence Of the
French people in their leaders, in their
army, in their British allies, wos sys-
temotieoIy shaken by q borroee Of
rumors planted among them by Quis-
Iines and Hitler oeents. This is q def

we expect to be immune from this toe

for its source, ond let it die there with
out giving yourself the warming sots-
foction of passing it on. All the news

that is not officially authenticated
with at Ieost one grain Of salt, or bet
