Cultural Relations
Key 10 Latin Trade,
Businessmen Told


American businessmen were
warned yesterday that If they want
to build up postwar trade In Latin
America, they should improve their
approach to the merchants south
of the border.
Hal F. Lee of New York, manage
ing director of Pan American AS
sociates and editor of The Pan
American, told luncheon meeting
at the Carlton Hotel, culture
should be the common denominator
approach to the businessman lof
Latin America"
This point was substantiated by
fan mail from the South to botl,
NBC and CHS radio systems, he
said, because the great preponder-
ance Of letters from both rich and
poor favored symphony orchestra
programs. Poetry, he said, ran a
close second.
Trade Balance Favors Latins.
Pointing to a trade balance CT
about $500 600, 900 in favor ef
Latin America now, Mr.. Lee es;i-
mated that foreign exchange ball
ances and gold and dollar notes
there were boosting such balance
to near the $1,000 600, 900 mark,
great gain in purchasing power.
Argentina leads in volume of this
balance, he said, with Brazil, Mex
leo and Cuba ranking next in order.
Pointing out several movements
in New York to improve cultural and
business relations between the
United States and South America,
Mr.. Lee expressed the hope there
would be marriage" between these
activities in New York and the po-
litical and legislative phase of the
good neighbor policy In Washington
with a view to improving the post
war markets throughout this hem
isphere.
Fred Emmerich, vice president Of
Block International Corporation,
and an official of the New York
Board of Trade, said merchants from
Latin America, who formerly traded
in other parts of the world had
turned, because of the war, to the
United States. But he warned that
many of them now were confused
over the failure of manufacturers
here to deliver orders because Of
restrictions from Washington.
Warns of Other Markets.
IF we don't do something about
It," he declared, "they are going to
find other markets when we are
on peacetime basis" Before the
wsr, he said European traders had
offered better merchandise more
acceptable to Latin America and
on longer credit.
George r. Hull of the Smaller
War Plants Corp, who said he had
lived in France many years, pointed
to both Germany and England as
understanding Latin American bus
mess much better than the United
States and consequently enjoying
better trade. He urged business
men here to learn Spanish and
Portuguese II they expected to do
business to the South.
Col. John r. Waller, president Of
the International Bank here, pre-
sided.

Star to Present First Column
BY Lowell MeIIett tuesday
Veteran Writer
Says Tolerance
Will Be Keynote

Lowell Mellett. who resigned as
one of the Presidents assistants on
March "a to re-enter newspap per
work, will begin writing for The
Star and a number of other news
papers this week. His column of
comment, "On the Other Hand"
will appear this week and there
after on Tuesdays. Thursdays and
Saturdays on the opposite editorial
page.
In accepting Mr.. Mellet's resigna-
ton, the President wrote that ct am
very much impressed by what you
tell me regarding the readiness Of
The Washington Star, and perhaps
other newspapers, to publish points
of view contrary to their own. In
these times, when it Is more than
normally necessary to achieve the
fullest understanding of vital pub
lie issues, no greater service could
be performed by the publishers in
my opinion"
keynote OF Tolerance.
The Star and many other news
papers have followed q policy for a
long time Of printing views contrary
to their own. It is not merely the
readiness of The Star to print such
views that accounts for the ar
arrangement with Mr.. Mellett. For,
whatever he writes, he writes well,
he writes intelligently, and he writes
entertainingly. He is worth read
ing. He tells The Star that he feels
he can write the stuff that some
people will want to read. While
pretty Arm in my own convictions, I
believe that I have considerable
tolerance for the views of other
people. That may be the keynote
Of my column.
'"The thing that moves me to
attempt writing Is an urgent sense
of danger. The world we have
known is being broken to pieces;
these pieces can be put together in
a manner to make it a better world
or worse. The intelligence exists
to assure a better world, but, in
addition to intelligence, we must
have good will. I want to work for
Igood will"
Lowell Mellett was only is years

the National Democratic Conven-
