important works of the division,
and one which Mrs. James feels
Is OF vital Importance, is the put
ting of officials and private citi-
zens of one country in personal
contact with those of other coun-
tries.
Mrs. James is particularly
proud OF the publications from
her division-usually in mimeo-
graphed form at first-which are
in English. Spanish and Portu-
guese for distribution in the
Americas. One Of these Is Points
Of View" and is just that, many
of them controversial, which
have caused lively discussions
where they have been read. THE
Irresponsibles," by Archibald
MacLeish. and Van Wyck
Brooks essay, Critical Trends
in American Literature" have
brought forth columns in the
press of South America.
The interest OF Mrs. James for
the work OF making better un-
derstanding throughout the
American republics first was
stirred when she came here to
school and found how little was
known of her native Mexico. as
we'll as how little interest there
was in what went on to the South
of our borders.
All that has changed now both
here and in the other Republics
and English is taught as freely in
Latin America as Spanish is here
and in some of those Republics the
study is compulsory.
Much of this is due to Mrs.
James and the work of the divi-

Versatile Woman Is Chief of Intellectual
Cooperation of the Pan-American Union
Mrs. James Heads
Long.Named Bureau
Fostering Unity
By Katharine Brooks.

DJ n 0fH6ffne 6fOORS.
Mrs. Concha Romero James as
chief of the division OF intellec-
tual cooperation of the Pam
American Union is carrying out
her chief Understanding better
understanding between the Amer
icaS.
A native of Mexico, where she
prepared for college, she came to
this country and was graduated
from the Pomona College in Cali
fornia and from the University OF
California. Now she is able to
help students find the kind of
education they want, and profess
sors to find kindred thinkers in
other republics of the Western
Hemisphere. She even has been
able to help the classification OF
a hitherto unknown insect dis
covered by young boys in South
America by putting them in per-
Sonal touch with famous and out
standing authorities on entomol-
ogy.
This is the kind of work which
Mrs. James and the 10 employees
in her division daily are carrying
on.
Petite in stature and figure, she
has soft wavy jet-black hair gen.
erously sprinkled with silver. The
twinkle and sparkle of her black
eyes always is enhanced when the
conversation is about her favorite
interchange of ideas from one
American republic to another.
She deftly explains the difference
between her division Of the Pan
American Union and the Cultural
Relations Division Of the State
Department:
I'VE both have long-range OBJ
jectives, but our division has to
do with all American republics
with each other, while the State
Department division has more to
do with the United States and
its relations to the other repub-
lies"
Her story of the young boys in
Venezuela and their insect dis
covery is only one of scores OF
such useful work which Mrs.
James can recount for her sec
ton of the n-American Union.
The plea of the boys was sent by
her to the Journal of Entomology
and through that letters were
received from many leaders in
the study of insects who offered
to help them in classifying what
they had found. To one of these
the boys sent the insects-one of
which had never been known be-
fore and now bears the name OF
the sender, CASTOR Vevas Ber-
thier. Three from this group
came to this country for their
college studies, Mr.. Vevas Ber-
thier being a student at Cornell
University.
With much pride. Mrs. James
points to the card index OF edu-
cational institutions, professors
OF arts and sciences in the 81
American republics, for this work
is not only for the Latin Amer
lean countries, but also for the
United States. She speaks Of the

A GOOD CITIZEN

A man may serve in every pos

every spare dollar in War Bonds.
He may cheerfully and with good
will endure Sacrifices, but all these
things are as tinkling brass until
he has protected his family.
Some day the war will be over
Some day we will have won for
ourselves and for our families the
freedom and liberty for which we
are now fighting. The price hav-
ing been paid, there will come to
us the pleasures of normal life
we know it and as we treasure it.
When those days come again,
you will want to enjoy them as
an independent and self-support-
ing citizen, continuing to contrib
ute to the welfare of our coun-
try. To be able to do so, you
must have an income.
You will want your family to
enjoy the comforts, satisfaction
and happiness that life in a nor
NAL world brings. You will want
your family to be Independent
making its contribution to the
nation.

Justice at Seffridge Field? Why
was Col. William T. Colman, con-
victed by a general court-martial
or careless use of firearms and on
four counts of drunkenness, pun
ished only with demotion to the
rank of captain, ineligible to pro-
motion for three years? Why was

excuse for the shooting and
wounding of Private Williaf Nc
Rae. Negro chauffeur, acquitted
of the charge of assault with in
tent to do bodily harm?
Colman first faced charges of
violation of 20 Articles of War,
including transportation OF
government property, fraudently
obtaining transfers of enlisted
personnel, accepting a gift from
government contractor, and
conduct "unbecoming and officer
and a gentleman. The court de-
MED his motion for dismissal on
the protest that he had been suf-
fering from a mental disorder,
proceeded with what appeared to
be patent attempts to whitewash
the offender. The whole case
reeks with the strictured justice
of L'affairs Dreyfus in reverse.

the army cannot risk toppled

there is ever a time when the
