this is that a new story has de-
veloped in Latin America since
December 7. 1t is the story OF fear
And it has increased since the fall
of Manila.
The average Latin American, like
the Average North American, al
ways looked upon the Japs as
clever little people, but neverthe-
less little people. One Argentine OF
one Brazilian, they figured, could
lick six Japs with both hands tied
behind his back. So now it is not
easy to estimate the damage done
to our prestige by the pushing
around we land the British have
received in the Pacific since De-
cember T.
Higher-up Latin Americans I'M
derstand our explanations; and the
man in the street is sympathetic
Nevertheless, no one can over-es-
innate the big boost it would give
our preStlge ana sumner WelleS
job in Rio if the Navy could score
striking victory at this moment
in the Pacific.
1t must always be remembered
that Latin Americans have a great
respect for power. Certain Latin
American army leaders have been
called pro-Nazi, but actually they
chiefly have the military mans adj
miration for a successful military
machine. And having looked upon
us as a nation of precision and
power, our present inability so.lndly
and instantly to slap the Japs'
ears down, has made some of them
think twice regarding our ability
TO uphold the Monroe Doctrine.

STRONG q. S. SUPPORT

In view of all this, it is a great
tribute to Latin American friend
ship and shows how deeply the
Good Neighbor policy has taken
root, that the Rio Conference starts
eff with so many bonafide U. S. A.
supporters in the bleachers.
