WORLDWIDE GOOD
NEICHBOR POLICY
is ASKED BY FDR

WASHINGTON, Feb. o. G -
Creatona of global good neighbor
polio, was proposed to Congress
+cday by President Roosevelt as an
effective means of achieving inter-
national security.
This aim is to extend to other
areas the same sort OF relations
that have been set up between the
United States and other nations of
this hemisphere in the fields OF
education, science and cultural
activities.
In another move to equip the
government with authority and
personnel to meet international
problems now and when the war
ends, the President asked author
| 1y to appoint two additional as
sistant secretaries of state. They
are needed, he said, to help the
State Department handle "the
greater completely of problems,
many of new delicate and I'M
precendented character, which to-
day requires solution in the broad
domain of foreign relations.
Mr.. Roosevelt forwarded to Con-
gress letters from Acting Secre-
tary of State Edward R. Stettinius,
Jr., supporting and explaining
Goth proposals.
To project the Pan-American
good neighbor policy on a world
wide scale, something which the
President and Secretary of State
Hull have long advocated, it was
proposed that Congress amend the
good neighbor act of August 1889
to authorize cultural and "copper"
alive programs with other coun-
tries of the world"
Such activities. Stettinius wrote,
include exchanging leaders in edu-
cation, journalism and science;
promoting distribution of Ameri-
can literature abroad; sending
abroad American movies and radio
prog1 ans; and encoura ging recip-
rocal activities by cooperating
countries.

STATEMENT BY LOCAL OPA
BOARD

Regulation is very unpopular with
the American public, but far better
to have regulation through OPA
with voluntary unpaid local boards
to administer than to have total
political RECOMMENDATION. The local
OPA board does not make the rules
through which they and yourselves
are governed. They make decisions
in the application of these rules;
more often the decisions are un-
popular because they restrain a de-
sire and not necessity, with the
dividing line rather obscure.
The retiring local board took this
work when regulation was new and
resented. They did splendid, I'M
selfish, commendable and patriotic
job under the circumstances and
deserve much more credit than they
will receive. The newly organized
board hone you will bear with them
and not throw too many pop bottles
at the umpire when hair-line de-
cisions do not meet with your APP
proval. OPA regulations are varied,
many and sometimes rather confus-
ing, there are few if any preceden-
ces to guide us, but we will try to
administer the local OPA Justly
and in accordance to the rules as we
understand them.
