Hemisphere Problems
lotin American Students

From Their Countries

BY means of scholarships and in
terpretative study, the Georgetown
University school of foreign service
is directing a part of its war pro-
gram this semester toward a keener
appreciation and understanding of
Western Hemisphere problems.
The Role of Latin America in the
War" is the subject of one of these
courses. The lecturer is Dr. Manuel
Guillermo Martinas. a native Mex
lean scholar. who has a wide and
practical background in inter
American relations. DR.. MartinaS is
a former staff member of the Mex
ican Embassy and served also on the
staff Of various pan-AmeTican con-
ferences.
The course has attracted a large
number of students. some of whom
have been specializing at George
town in other South American fields
of study. These students particu-
larly are now intent on following
the course of Latin America in the
present wal, the important role it
Is playing in supplying raw mate
rials and the part it seems destined
to take in postwar rehabilitation.
Scholarships Extended.
A number of Latin American stu
dents are attending the school of
foreign service on scholarships eX-
tended by Georgetown to their gov
ernments. Among them are Eduardo
Pardo of Argentina, Gonzales Gar
Ian of Peru and Arnaldo Leao
MARQUEE Of Brazil.
For a quarter of century the
Georgetown school has sought to
create a better understanding be-
tween the Americas through the ex-
tension of scholarships to the q
Latin American governments. The
threat of another war several years
ago necessarily reduced the number
of students taking advantage of
these scholarships. Now, however,
the war has served to draw these
ties closer together. and number
of Latin American students are at
tending Georgetown in addition to
those on scholarships.
