of the State Department division oi
American republics Also in the
American party were the Chiei
Executives naval aides, Maj Gen
Edwin NJ Watson and Rear Ad-
miral Wilson Brown, as we'll as the
| full Presidential Secretariat.
1t was no longer a precedent fol-
i an American President to leave the
country during war. That prece-
| dent was shattered last January
When Mr.. Roosevelt flew TO Casa
blanca for his unconditional sur
render" conference with Prime Min
lister Winston Churchill.
TWO REASONS
Before the Presidents train ar
rived here, he explained to news
| papermen accompanying the party
that there were two principal rea-
sons for his meeting with Camacho:
To fulfill the plans made originally
for a meeting more than year ago
and 10 discuss the future of the
United States and Mexico.
The trip, the President said, is
part of the game he has been play
ing heavily in recent years-getting
to know his neighbors better All
kinds of leads which are helpful
to the war effort and planning for
the future come from such talks
between the leaders of the Ameri-
can republics.
As an example of such a devel-
opment. the President said he had
talked TO a number of Latin Amer
ican state heads about greater i'm
migration into those republics with
a view toward controlling the in
flux of new nationalities in man
ner that the newcomers will blend
in gradually with the rest of the
population. rather than remain a
clearly defined and separate peo-
pie. He pointed out the German
immigrants to Brazil as a case in
point saying they had not in two
generations melted into the Bra
lillian population.
AVOID MISTAKES
BY operating the melting pot
on planned basis. he added by way
of explanation. the mistakes of the
past can be avoided.
Mr.. Roosevelt said there were no
immediate problems between Mex
ico and the United States and that
his talks with Camacho would deal
primarily with the future of their
two countries.
The American President, on his
war inspection trip through the ma
ton. found to his satisfaction a
great improvement in the American
war effort since a similar trip he
made last September

rubber situation.
It is the second "run-in" Jeffers
has had with Davis this year,
having been publicly rebuked by
Davis a few months ago for not
clearing a speech with Owl in
which he denounced the army and
navy for interfering with the
rubber program.
IN FOUR ACTS
The latest controversy was in
four acts and took less than 48
hours:
l. OWL issued a report Saturday
night which said that the rubber
situation would "darken before it
becomes lighter" and that synthetic
tires would not become available in
