Part played by the Rotary Amer- fostering better under- standings among the of this hemisphere was stressed by Lieut. Commander Carl H. Hil- ton, commanding oiiicer of Coast Guard forces in this area, in a ica in nations talk delivered yesterday before the Key West Rotary Club. Commander Hilton said that Rotarians throughout the nations to the south of the United States were helping those nations to un- derstand and appreciate the good neighbor policy of the United States, and added that this influ- ence was aiding the growth of the Pan American Union. Commander Hilton, then com- manding officer of ‘the. Cutter Pandora, recently returned from a good-will trip to several of the nation’s of Central America. In his talk he outlined some of his discoveries, pointing out that ntiment toward the United States is improving. One of the points indicated by Commander Hilton was that the people of the nations where the United States marines had been sent to maintain law and order had expressed the wish that they might return. These people, the speaker said, felt the Marines had given them security and peace where previously these had been lacking. RITES TOMORROW FOR L. C. ROBERTS Leon C.
