Good-Neighbor Policy
Antedated Big Loans,
Dr.. Rowe Points Out

Prompted apparently by the at.
tack on the Good Neighbor policy
by Senator Butler, Republican, OF
Nebraska, Dr. L. S. Rowe, director
general of the Pan-American Union
last night declared the maintenance
OF that policy was no longer q
partisan question:" but had the
support of the people of the United
States, regardless of partisan afiilia-
tions."
1t has been my privilege to make
several trips to Latin America dur
ing the last few years" he said in
a statement. and, therefore / have
had the opportunity to study at
first hand the far-reaching influ-
ence of the present Latin American
policy of this country"
Policy Antedated Loans.
1T must be remembered that this
policy was inaugurated long before
the introduction of recent large
scale economic and financial CO.
operation with the other American n
republics.
Wartime cooperation with the
nations of Latin America in matters
relating to defense. industry, public
health and transportation was in
augurated and dictated by urgent
considerations. of national self-in-
terest. In order to secure the raw
materials for which we stood in vital
need, and to defend the approaches
TO strategic areas of the continent,
1t was necessary to strengthen the
defenses and broaden the produc-
tive capacity of the countries of
Latin America. Far-reaching plans
for the improvement in health con-
dltlonS were undertaken with a long
range view of strengthening the
productive capacity of the laboring
classes and thus increasing the vol
ume of raw materials available for
the war effort
Voices Warning.
In evaluating the results of re-
cent activities it would be unfortu-
nate if anything were done to
leopardize the enlightened policy
that has for the last IA years char
acterlzed nter-American relations,
or raise doubt in the minds of
the other nations of this continent
that our future policy will not con-
tlnue to be based on the same broad
and enlightened principles.
The unity of purpose and policy
which has been established through
out the Western Hemisphere is the
outstanding justification for the CO.
operation which has been estab-
lished between the United States
and the countries Of Latin America
