Midsummer in the Nations Capt.
tai finds furry of festivities taking
place along Embassy Row. Foreign
visitors always are given an en-
thusiastic welcome by members of
society. Particularly is this en-
phasized when the doldrums have
almost completely veiled the social
picture. 1t means gaiety in an
otherwise blank party calendar for
the summer stay-at-homes.
In Washington now are several
dignitaries on whom the spotlight
is focusing and during the coming
week other visitors will be arriving
officials of our Government and
members of the diplomatic corps will
be among the guests at the cocktail
party Acting Secretary OF State

occasion will be three generals of

Good Neiehbor Policy
Much thought and real hard work
combined have been given to two
events of great international i'm
port. One of the affairs is taking
place miles away from washington
but, like the gala concert and recep-
ton to be given at the Pan Ameri-
can Union come Tuesday, it's pro-
noting in big way the good neigh
Dor policy.
The Counselor of the Uruguayan
Embassy and Sonora de Montero de
Bustamante are attending the affair
away from the Capital area. They
are in Northumberland the capital
OF their home country-but the
city In Minnesota. A three-day
Montevideo South American fiesta
Is going on there. 1t started yester-
day and just about the whole town
has gone South American.
The fiesta is in celebration of the
18th anniversary of the founding of
the city. 1t is understood it bears
the same name as the Uruguayan
capital only by coincidence. Do not
know where the idea for such an
affair originated, but 1t had the full
support of our State Department,
the Uruguayan government and
State officials of Minnesota.
The colorful native dress of
Uruguay and other American Re-
publics are much in evidence as the
numerous ceremonies are taking
place. South American songs and +,
dances high light the festivities and
