New Federal Radio Program On Pan-Americanism Tonight “Brave New World” Is Theme of 26 Weekly Educational Broadcasts W hich Will Be Inaugurated This Evening. (This is the first of a series of weekly articles explaining the une broadcasts wsual series of Monday evening Pederal Ofice of Education.) radio sponsored by the By BRENT D. ALLINSON. “Then felt I like some watcher of the skies When a new planet swims into his ken— Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes He stared at the Pacific, and all his men Look’d at each other with a wild surmise— Silent, upon a peak in Darien.” That glorious “wild surmise” of September 25, 1513, when not Cortez (poor, brave Keats must have flunked his historical geography!) but another Spanish eaptain out of Estremadura, Vasco Nunez de Balboa, gentleman-soldier of fortune, and his helmetted band, stood on a mountain top above the steaming jungles of Panama and gazed out upon the blue Pacific, which their still bolder compatriot, Magellan, was soon to navigate, is at long last realizing ftself, in an unprecedented way, political and cultural as well as terri- torial reality. Those first European adventurers out of gold and glory smitten Spain—first to conquer poisonous Panama, scale the heights of the famous isthmus and “burst into that silent sea” at the Bay of San Miguel—dreamed of some- thing more than gold. Balboa and his lieutenant, Pizarro, dreamed of & united Pacific empire, under the “most Christian tyranny of Spain, spanning the mountain barrier and bridge that divides two oceans and connects two continents. After 400 years, “The most interesting thing that has ever hap- pened,” as President Roosevelt only day before yesterday described it in wishing godspeed to a flying caravan |4, of American women air-bound for a grand tour of all the Central and South American capitals in the service of a political crusade for neighborly peace and pan-Americanism—is happening in the Western Hemisphere today un- der our prosaic, latter-day eyes—the integration of two continents and three civilizations, Nordic, Latin and Indian, in a hemisphere of harmonious col- laboration for the building of mutual well-being, confidence and under- standing. 0Old Dream Came True. ‘This movement marks the slow real- ization of a dream that is older than that of the American Federal Union of self-governing republics operating under a written Constitution of divided powers—a dream of empire and ex- ploitation, realizing itself through liberty, justice and umion, through democracy, technology and popular education, involving the legal and po- litical separation of church and state (which was but yesterday achieved in Mexico)—in & manner beyond the power of Cortez or Pizarro, or even the humane soul of Columbus, perhaps, to conceive as possible in a world of am- bition and avarice, of adventure and tragedy, of cruelty and conflict and despair, of recurring hope, renewed achievement and potential peace. ‘Tonight this pageant of 400 years of civilization-building is to be re- viewed, and the unfolding fulfillment of the “wild surmise” of the 16th cen- tury discoverers, conquerors and ad- ministrators of Spanish and Portugese in- America will be recapitulated and dramatized over the air-ways of the Nation, in English, under the sponsor- ship of the Federal Government and its office of education, and particularly of Secretary Ickes and his commis- sioner of education, John W. Stude- baker. First of 26 Broadcasts. At 10:30 pm. (E. 8. T.), the first of an extraordinary series of 26 weekly broadcasts will be heard from the Atlantic to the Pacific seaboard, launching an enterprise new in the history of education and propaganda, under the title of “Brave New World.” Planned by the Office of Education with the approval of the Under- ecretary of State, Mr. Sumner Welles, and in dramatic fulfillment of | the spirit and official resolutions and enactments of the Inter-American Conference for the Maintenance of Peace, inaugurated in the City of Buenos Aires, last December, by Presi- dent Roosevelt in person, the broad- casts have been prepared by & staff of experts in Latin American history and culture, headed by Dr. Samuel Guy Inman of the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Phillip L. Green, lecturer on Latin the College of the City of New ~ Jrk. They will be enacted from scripts written by Bernard C. Schoenfeld, radio writer and playwright, by a group of actors engaged by the Col- umbia Broadcasting Corp., under the direction of Mr. Irving Reis, and of William Dow Boutwell, director of the radio division of the Office of Education who has been in charge of recent “World Is Yours" series of educational broadcasts, in co- operation with the Smithsonian In- stitution. The new series, moreover, which will be presented without commercial sponsorship and with the assistance of a staff of W. P. A. workers, has the enthusiastic co-operation of many educators, schools and civic bodies, whole college of Latin American en- voys and ambassadors in Washing- ton.

A series of radio broadcasts prepared and paid for by a department of Gov- ernment to further the understanding and friendship of neighboring nations, among whom much misunderstanding, resentment and even strife has ob- tained in the recent past, is some- thing new under the politl in. For 7 generations, nations have spent—and are spending today—measureless wealth and energy in fostering fear and hatred and historic animosities against their rivals for power and place in the sun. “Nature made us neighbors, let justice make us friends,” exclaimed Aristide Briand of France, to Herr Stresemann, at Locarno and Geneva; but his eloquence fell upon barren ground in Europe. (Next week's broadoast will follow Pizarro in his ruthless conquest of the “Empire of the Sun,” Inca, Peru.) — REICH JAILS 40 MORE PROTESTANT PASTORS ‘The Rev.
