EDITORIAL SCHOOLS WORKING FOR PANAMERICANISM air force craft on duty along the Gulf Coast between’ Tampico and Without entering into matters historical, nor ven into the present reality of institutional Pan- americanism, the schools. both elementary and secon- Jary, can realize splendid work for the benefit of Panamericanism. To achieve this end, generous as well as constructive, the only thing needed is to develop in the educational programs general studies on.each and every one of the countries forming the {nteramerican System and, besides, to give more moortance to the two languages which are spoken nost in the continent, Spanish and English. On the foundations of geographic knowledge, mma better appreciation of cultural values of the United States and Latin America, on the reality of heir history and their economic future, as well as cheir destiny of liberty, must rest, in the conscience of the young, the enthusiasm for the Panamericanist sause. The knowledge of all these must be acquired, ‘undamentally, at the schools. Later will come, for chose wishing to go deeper into the matter, advanced itudies regarding the full meaning, in all its aspects, of a militant Panamericanism, the doctrine func: jioning through its institutions. Those who have the responsibility of directing yublic education in the twenty-one American coun- ‘ries, should take into consideration, when prepa- ng their curricula, the great need there is to divulge n the class-room, without sparing any efforts and} n a methodic manner, all that is represented, singly or collectively. by the group of nations which have created the regional organization of the Interamer- can System. COMPLEX INTERNATIONAL PROBLEMS AND, TIME REQUIRED FOR PLANNING THEIR SOLUTION A few days ago we referred to the need that ninor officials in the Foreign Offices of the great jemocratic powers should have all the qualifications 30 confront their tasks, taking into consideration shat the high leaders in the international politics of chose countries have to dedicate their time, on many yecasions and almost, completely, to planning and liscussion of determined problems which absorb ‘onsiderable time. As a consequence, the planning and solution of other problems are left in the hands of minor officials, who virtually act by themselves apon delegation of functions. ay What is happening with the Suez Canal, for nstance, is unmistakable proof of the manner in which the leaders in international affairs of those sountries have to withdraw from their general activities to dedicate themselves to one subject, in this case, that of Suez. This problem with the Egyptian Government has been occupying, for several weeks, the attention and concern of the Foreign Ministers of the European Western powers and the Secretary of grounds today to keep the waters free of alleged “pirate” boats from Texas. The government added three Ca- talina flying boats to the Mexican WIN PENDLETON ‘THE HOME STRETCH — Less than a month now — before “ali- bi” season. That’s when the expert who told you who was going to win the election will be telling you why his man lost. Some folk say the season began this week, follow- ing the World Series. But that really isn’t so, Baseball fans are pikers compared to political pun- dits. Anything you are hearing to- day is only a warm up — a sort of pre-season flexing of the alibis. Somewaht on the order of the mas- ter of ceremonies calling over his mike, “one, two, three, four, test- ing.” The true “alibi artists” only come out from under their rocks once every four years. They em- erge with the opening of the “of- ficial” season. This: season begins at some undetermined hour be- tween the closing of the pools on Novémber 6th and the moment that the individual realizes his man is a dead duck. In this day and age that doesn’t mean the next day when the votes are makred final and of- ficial. Inthe earliest days of our coun- try, when the pony express was the newest and fastest way of sending word, the alibi season often was delayed for weeks. But today, with the magic of television — and the electronic brain — the “artists” can begin work before they go to bed on Tuesday night. You might ask, “where are these artists now? Where do they hide?” Please! You musn’t be naive. They’re all around you, No, they aren’t in disguise. They just go un- der a different name. Today, they are the “experts” — it’s only after November 6th. that they become the “artists”. An “Alibi artist” might even be called an “unlucky expert.” They work with the stub of a pencil on the back of an envelope, or a paper napkin or on the table- cloth. Most of them sound some- thing like this: “I might be wrong, of course, (meaning “I know what I'm talking about) but, this is the |is the way it’s going to be.”) “It only takes 266 electoral votes State of the United States.

Eximbank Mission Inspects Argentine Steel Works, Railroads, Power Plants BUENOS AIRES —(UP) 3ance Brand, Vicepresident of the ixport-Import Bank and chief of he ‘bank’s mission in Argentina, aid he had suggested to Provision- il President General Pedro E. \ramburu that the Argentine de- egation negotiating with the »ank’s mission be given permanent tharacter as an aid to continuous 1egotiating in coming months.

Brand told the United Press hat in his interview with Aram- buru the President had outlined the country’s most immediate eco- nomic needs, including the need for reequipment of the railroad sy- stem for which the Eximbank has opened a one hundred million dol- lar credit to the Argentine. Brand said the President had al- so discussed the need to increase the nation’s electric power produc- tion, which will be discussed at an important meeting Monday of the Federal Governors in eleven of the major power producing pro- vinces with Industry Ministry of- ficials in an effort to define the policy to be followed with respect to private capital in the power field. Under Perén, more than sixty private companies, some with for- eign interests, were expropriated, and rates for private companies have been tightly controlled to the point where the major companies claim they are operating on a basis of decapitalization, Now, let’s give them these states — no argument.” (“We couldn’t win them if we tried). “Now, we'll take these for sure — no argu- ment, see?” (generous of him). “That’s 89, votes, see? That only leaves 177 more to go right?” (he subtracts well, doesn’t he?) “Now, how about our candidate’s own state?” (brother, how sure can you get) “That’s 27 — so that leaves only (a measly) 150, right? Now, here’s three others that he can take by picking up less than 1 per cent of last election’s vote. That should be easy.” (sounds ea- sy, doesn’t it). “That’s 28 more. Leaves us only 122 to go, see?” “Now, let’s look at a few he al- most took last time. (let’s), These are heavy farm states. And you know how the farmers are going to vote.” (do I?) “That’s eight more with a total of 65 votes. And that only leaves 57, right?” (you are so right). “Shucks, he only needs Pennsylvannia or New York, or Ohio—how can he lose?” (yes, how?) “and he’s bound to pick up one or two others?” (is he?) Then comes election day. The votes are counted, And a new day dawns, Here comes our friend — bright and early, Maybe with a gloomy face (but not always). “Say,” he says, “that sure was something wasn’t it. I told you not to count on things for sure didn’t I? Here, let me show you someth- ing.
