1.-THE United States Is Just as
committed as are the other re-
|publics to the principles Of the
Rio Treaty Of 1947. This treaty
declares that an attack on one
American republic will in effect
be an attack on all. We stand
firmly by this commitment.
This mutual security system,
proved by time, should now en-
able some Of the American re-
publics to reduce expenditures
for ornaments. and thus make
funds available for construc-
tive purposes.
One editorial alleged that the
United States did not accept
the principle Of non n-interven-
ton until 1859. In fact, our
country has consistently abided
by this hemisphere concept for
more than a quarter-of-a-cen-
tury.
Another persistent misunder-
standing which I sought to cor
rect wherever ! travelled is that
we sometimes support dictators.
OF course, we abhor all tyran-
nical forms Of government,
whether Of the left or right.
In Brazil, Iexplained another
important item Of our policy:
We believe In the right Of peo-
Piles to choose their own form
Of government, to build their
own institutions, to abide by
their own philosophy. But II q
tyrannical form Of government
were imposed from outside OF
with outside support-by force,
threat. or subversion-we would
certainly deem this to be q vio-
lation Of the policy of nonin-
tervention, and would expect
the Organization of American
States. acting under several
solemn commitments, to take
appropriate collective action.
On occasion, I heard 1t said
that economic advance in some
American republics only makes
the rich richer and the poor
poorer, and that the United
States should take the initia-
tive in correcting this evil. This
is a view fomented by Commu-
nists, but often repeated by
well-meaning people.
/ If there should be any truth
in this charge whatsoever, 1t is
not the fault Of the United
States. So far as our purpose
is involved. projects financed
by our institutions are expected
to yield widespread benefits to
all. and at the same time to
conform to our policy Of non
Intervention.
When internal social reform
is required. 1t Is purely an In
ternal matter.

Value Freedom
And Individuality

Two impressions are high
lighted in my mind.
First - Brazil, Argentina
Chile and Uruguay treasure
as much as we do freedom,
human dignity, equality and
peace with justice. In freedom,
they are determined to pro-
gress-to improve and diversity
their economies = to provide
better housing and education
to work eeaselessly for rising
levels Of human well being.
Second, while certain prob
lens are continental in scope,
nonetheless, each of the coun-
tries I visited-indeed, each of
the 20 republics of Latin Amer
ica-is highly individual. Each
has its own unique problems
and ideas regarding future
development.
Hence, our cooperation with
each republic must be tailored
to its particular situation.
I was gratified to learn that,

Impressed
BY Purpose

I was impressed. for exam
pie. by what I saw In Chile.
I visited a low-cost housing
project. The government had
provided land and utilities. The
home owners were helping one
another build the new houses.
They will pay for them month
ly, over a period of years. Per-
sonal accomplishment brought
pride to their eyes; self-re-
lance to their bearingl
Their new homes are modest
in size and character-but I
cannot possibly describe the
intense satisfaction they take
in the knowledge that they
themselves have brought about
this great forward step in their
living conditions.
In Argentina and Uruguay I
witnessed encouraging sights
men building schools. homes,
and roads - and, in Brazil,
erecting q wholly new capital
city.
The people Of Latin America
know that poverty, ignorance,
and ill-health are not inevita-
BILE. They are determined to
have their resources and labors
yield a better life for them
selves and their children.
I assure them that, most
earnestly, we Of the United
States want them to succeed.
We realize that to speed i'm
provement, they need foreign
capital. They want sound
loans, public and private. Their
repayment record on loans
previously made is noteworthy.
International and Unite d
States lending agencies have
recently had their funds great
ly increased. The new Inter-
American Development Bank
will soon be functioning, I be-
lieve that each nation which
has produced o well-conceived
development program will find
that these lending institutions
will respond to their needs.

At this time we do not fear the out

also possible Holsters, but fist
such as mackerel, which swim
near the surface, could easily
become radioactive. Drinking
water is very important. For
tunate are those families which
have a covered well from which
pure water can be pulled up by
hand, well not dependent on
electricity. People who get their
water from uncovered reservoirs
or rivers should have a supply
of pure water in their shelter.
Each shelter should have a cot
for each member of the family
and enough blankets to permit
the family to sleep for two or
three nights until the fallout
disperses. For further details,
write Col. H. w. Buchanan, CD.
Director, Barton, Florida.
What Fallout Does Not Kill
Fallout does not kill trees, so
far as we now know. l further
believe that the only 100 per cent
hedge against initiation is acre
age with growing trees a n d
fireproof apartment buildings.
Householders who have no
easements should build a fall
out shelter in the backyard of
concrete blocks covered with
boards and about three feet of
dirt AID properly drained; other
wise there should be a hand
pump to keep it dry. The floor
of the shelter should have some
place provided for the deposit of
human excretion; therefore each
shelter should contain a shovel
and a can of Borax. One final
thought: I advise readers to be
sure, before taking or renewing
a mortgage on any property,
that the house has some sort of
fallout shelter.

Communism Abroad and At Home

ONCE 1916, fifteen short years, we
~ have seem Communism spread to
more than half the population of the
world. China, Hungary, half Of Korea,
East Germany, Yugoslavia with SYM
pathetic regimes in Egypt, India, many
new countries developing in Africa the
Middle East and of all places within
the past year, Cuba. Eternal commu-
nistic pressures are on Japan, Argen-
tina, Brazil and other smaller South
American countries.
The situation is viewed with alarm
by many. Recent Developments on the
goodwill tour of President Eisenhower
give us little reinsurance.
We may make ourselves believe that
khrushev used the W incident to call

Russia to save his own hide in Russia;
that the kremlin leaders feared the
favorable reception of the President in

been rebuffed by Russia; Communist
China showed its disdain by sheeling the

Bobson Discusses

BABSON PARK, MASS, June
l6 = If World War III should
come suddenly and your COM
munity be hit by A-bomb or H
bomb attack, it would be de-
molished; probably no prepara-
ton on your part could save
your life The chances are, how
ever, that your city will not be
bombed that you would have
only fallout to worry about. This
fallout is the radioactive dust
thrown into the air when a bomb
eXplodes. If Detroit, for instance
should be bombed, most of the
people there would be killed.
Then a cloud of radioactive dush
would travel with the prevailing
wind. Probably everyone within
so miles would be subject to
burns.
Therefore. everyone within a
radius of so miles from a bomb
explosion should go to shell
ter and be prepared to remain
there for three or four days.
This shelter should have a sup
ply Of good water, a stock of
rice and canned goods, m e
