GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY

The Good Neighbor Policy, which has
as its objective the fostering of good re,
lations among the nations of the West
ern Hemisphere, can be boiled down to
a simple working formula; association.
The most trivial of dlsagreements can
be built up into Notwithstanding incidents
when opposing parties are not acquainted.
But when they meet face to face the dif-
ferences have a way of ironing them
selves out.
By association of peoples we do not
mean the casual acquaintanceships struck
up by tourists in foreign lands but COM
panionship brought about by mutual in
terestS.
Here along the border between Mexico
and the United States the people of the
Imperial and Mexicali valleys have
ready-made opportunity for such COM
panionship.
A splendid example of the camaraderie
which can be built up between the peo-
Piles of two nations was afforded in FL
Centre and MeXicali Sunday. On that
day tennis teams of the two cities and
baseball team from the Ell Centro marine
station and Mexican team met on sports
fields
It makes no difference how the games
came out. What was important was
that the members of the opposing teams
were able to compete on friendly basis
and become genuinely acquainted.
After the tennis matches in Ell Centre
all participants Joined in a banquet in
which they were able to become even
closer. But whether the relationship
comes from sports competition or other
ways is nconsequential. When people
get together and talk-about the wealth
er, movies or other subiects-they get to
know and understand each other.
Of course there is the language bar
rier to be hurtled but that too can be
cleared if the conversationalists are in
earnest.
Boundaries would cease to exist except
as mere geographical divisions. That
would be the ultimate realization of the
Good NeiphbOr plan

The peninsula, which juts out

for more than week.
The partisans seized control OF
Peljesac along with most OF the
Dalmatian coast and the outlying
islands following Italys surrender
last September, but the Germans
gradually have been recovering the

WANTS NO SUBSIDY
New York World-Telegram)

(New York WorldTelegram)
Freedom of the press is sometimes Il
topic for an editor to approach gingerly;
for, though he is eX officiO one of the
many custodians of that freedom, he is
also sometimes suspected by the cynical
of a deeper concern with his balance
sheet than with his responsibilities as
curator of a principal pillar of democra-
cy.
But here is a black-and-white PROPOSE
ton, it seems to U.S. on which we can haul
off and cry mo-" without even a back
ward glance at the professional carpers,
To wit:
The Senate Banking and Currency
Committee has started hearings on bill
by Senator Bankhead to subsidize the
press.
We have stated our opposition to this
bill before. We feel no different now.
Mr.. Bankhead would have the Govern
ment spend from 25 TO 80 millions a year
in buying paid advertising space in the
newspapers :. We would contemplate
with the gravest misgivings a situation in
which the national administration, equip
ped with the powers proposed by SEN
ator Bankhead, would be able to keep
in line some of the newspapers of this
country :.
This paper wants no part of it. And
we suspect that the Senate committee will
find our sentiments shared largely by the
press of this country.
