Cooperation Between
The Americas .. .
C OOPERATION (among the Pan-
American nations) has been com-
plete to a degree which would seem incredible,
if one did not know the driving force of the ideal
of the cooperative peace which has given the
New World its present stability and its great
hope for future strength."
The words are those of Adolf A. Berle, Jr..
assistant Secretary of State; the sentiment is
one which most Americans share heartily. Mr.
Berle refers to the fast-developing creation of
a "new world order" in the western hemisphere
by peaceful means, which stands in striking con-
trast to the "new order" the dictatorships of
Europe and Asia are seeking to create by force
of arms.
ITIS TRUE that the western world's com-
ity of nations is not perfect or com-
plete. But astonishing steps have been tak-
en toward it in the last year, so much so that
Dr. Cyril F. James, vice-chancellor of McGill
University, Montreal, recently said that there
are really two international families in the
world, the British Commonwealth and the
Pan-American Union.
Long ago the United States and Canada set
the example for international amity in the
Americas. In 1817 the Rush-Bagot treaty
was signed by which the naval forces in the
Great Lakes were limited to four ships on
each side "not exceeding 10 tons burthen"
and equipped with but one gun.
THAT TREATY was the beginning of policy
under which for decades the border between
the United States and Canada has stretched'
from coast to coast without armed guards, except
for necessary police and customs officials, and
is today the longest unfortified border in the
world.'
Far more recent is the surge toward Pan-
American solidarity. The beginning was made,
to be sure. as far back as 1826, when Simon
Bolivar called the first Pan-American Congres
in Panama. But it has not been until the last
few years that practical steps have been taken
to solidify the position of the western hemisphere
nations with regard to one another.
COMMON DANGER has done as much as
common good-will to bring the nations
of ; the new world together. Realization by
sonze of the Latin American countries that
their interests are identical with those of
the United States cne with the sharp
awakening to the fact that the Axis was
working not only to control South American
trade, but to control South Americn poli-
tical government as well.
Brazil was forced to put down a Nazi
putsch. So was Uruguay, and recently
Argentina has acted with energy to break
up German and Italian plots in the coun-
try. Other South American nations have
also been affected,
ATIN America is a vast storehouse of natural
riches. Although its wealth has been ex-
ploited since the days of the first conquistadores,

FORGETTING perhaps the trouncing that
Michigan handed Northwestern on the foot-
ball field last autumn, our friends at Northwest-
ern University are convinced that Michigan stu-
dents are lacking courage these days.
Not that Ann Arbor men and women ae any
different than normal human beings, but that
they suffer badly in comparison with the Evans-
ton brand of zealot, it seems.
The most recent blast comes from the golden
pen of Mary Nllen Munger, a student "columnist"
on the Daily Northwestern, who writes: .
COMPARISONS are interesting things. Take a
weekend at the University of Michigan for
an eye-opener as to university attitudes. They've
gone the whole hog for this defense and draft.
When I got curious about their viewpoint, they
raised their eyebrows and said, "Why, we never
think of questioning it."
They said they just didn't think the way we
did and I was aware of that in a short time.
There was no fighting back, no cynical resig-
nation as to the state of the nation.
They expressed no doubt as to the wisdom of
the government's movements farther and farther
in the direction of war. They upheld national
defense and aid to Britain. "And where," I said,
"are the pacifists?" They didn't seem to know.
The sgntiment just wasn't there.
An example of this attitude was the recent
issue of the Michigan Daily on the university's
104th anniversary. It was a masterpiece of ban-
ner waving for the home team. Ten headlines
of the twelve page paper proclaimed the virtue
of the university in supporting the plans to
strengthen our defense. We learned that "Sports
Program Trains Men for National Defense" and
"Botanist Aids Government."
To a student in a university with predominant
pacifist tendencies, the front page editorial ex-
plaining such an issue seemed a colossal bit of
understatement. It went like this: "Of late a
smattering of acid criticism has been sprayed in
the direction of Ann Arbor."
(The writer refers to the dismissal of about
ten students from the ;university last spring,
supposedly because of communistic tendencies.
The paper was opposed then to the university's!
action.)
"We are blinded by the acid to the vast good-
ness that has become commonplace at the Uni-
versity of Michigan." Then in caps we find this
defense of their back-patting the cooperation of
the university and the government: "IT IS OUR
OWN IDEA." We wonder.
JIClIIGAN is a state university, run by a state-
elected Board of Regents. When the state
falls behind the nation in placing more and
.more emphasis on national defense, the state
university must follow as a matter of policy. If
the nation moves closer and closer to war, the
university organ of publicity, the Michigan Daily,
will move nearer and nearer to being a propa-
ganda sheet. It has all the earmarks of that
now.
The Michigan Daily's attitude seems to be
reflected in the students, as perhaps our DAILY'S
views are reflected in the pro-isolationist senti-
meit of Northwestern students. As a private in-
stitution, we are still under no compulsion to
express the current views of the government. We
have to answer only indirectly to that body if
we choose to disagree. Our loyalty is to our coun-
try, of course, but we have not reached the "our
country, right or wrong" stage.
The unquestioning attitude of the Michigan
students and their Daily is indicative of a trend
-a moving swiftly away from a critical analysis
of the government's actions, the thing that
makes democracy tick. Our feeling are being
glossed over smoothly until we will soon be
ready for a flood of war propaganda.
A STATE UNIVERSITY would be the first to
adopt this attitude. They are answerable,
directly to the state and the government. There;
is more explanation' for censorship. We, as a
privately endowed school, would be the last to
follow the herd. But we will follow, if we come
to war.
The Michigan students have an advantage
over us in their sheeplike attitude-their casual
acceptance of the inevitable will make it easier
for them. Rut their lack of fight, typical of the
majority, of our citizens, makes it more than
easy for the nation to lead us into war. It's an
interesting-but disheartening process to watch.
ALL OF WHICH MAY PROVE that women are
easily excitable, usually deal in unfathom-
able generalities, and perhaps should stay out
of journalism.
We might get serious if this wasn't so funny.
All we'd better do is invite Miss Munger to read
President Ruthven's most, recent address anent
the draft; then, if she is still convinced about
attitudes on the war here, to come to Ann Arbor
and try to convince The Daily's critics that we
are meek lambs.
Attractive Miss Munger (she must be attrac-
tive) might be able to ma life easier for us if
she would whip down here and convince people
that our isolationist editorials are just defense
mechanisms. 0
This is all very funny.

FEW PEOPLE outside the general staffs of
Europe realize that Hitler has steadily kept
100 divisions along the Russian border-appar-
ently on guard against his own friend and alleged
ally.
One hundred divisions is a total of about
1,500,000 men, which is far more than Hitler has
concentrated in the Balkans. This, and other
things, indicate the growing coolness between
Stalin and Hitler.
Among the other things are Russia's almost
complete failure to deliver oil in anything more
than driblets to the German army, plus her fail-
ure to come across wit promised food ship-
ments.
Also it is obvious that Hitler's drive on Salon-
ika is nothing more nor less than an attempt to
fulfill the old Bismarck dream of a Berlin-to-
Bagdad railway, which means, of course, seizure
of the Straits-Russia's outlet to the Mediter-
ranean.
All of which explains the friendship pact
suddenly signed between Russia and Yugoslavia.
HITLER WAS LEANING over backward to
avoid war in the Balkans in order not to
spoil the grain crops of Yugoslavia and Bulgaria,.
which he needs for food. But the Balkan cam-
paign had at least one advantage for him.
He was able to shift restless Nazi troops from
France and the Low Countries
German troops primarily are home-bodies--
much more so than the British. And while ex-
cellent fighters, they go stale when merely on
police duty. British intelligence reports from
France indicate that German occupation troops
had become very restless, and Hitler was glad
to shift many of them to active service.
"NE SQUEEZE PLAY U.S. officials are hold-
ing up their sleeve to use against Germany
is the heavy Axis investment in the United
States.
The State Department is keeping quiet about
a plan to seize these investments if Germany
should retaliate against the United States for
seizing Axis ships.
powers in this hemisphere. But until compara-
tively recently we have thought of defense in
military terms only-guns, battleships and bases.
TODAY WE HAVE recognized fully that a
defense must also be established to meet
modern economic warfare. Germany, using
economic weapons to secure political control
in many Eureopean countries, has taught
us the danger of neglecting this field of
defense.
The problem is made more urgent by the
danger that if Germany should win the
present war with Britain, the Nazis could
use a Europe dominated entirely by them as
a single unit for trade influence in Latin
America, an act that is merely the prelimin-
ary to political control.
At first the United States felt this menace
more than did its neighbors to the south. But
recently the Latin Americas have themselves
begun to See with increasing clarity that this is
just as much their problem as ours.
'HAT IS WHY the Act of Havana was adopted
by the Pan-American Union, establishing a
means by which the several nations of this hemi-
sphere can legally form mutual assistance de-
fense pacts. That is why Mexico and Panama
have already entered into agreements with the
United States, whereby new facilities will be
available for the contracting parties in the ter-
ritories of their neighbors. That is why other
Latin American nations are expected to enter
into similar agreements.
A striking illustration of the new solidarity
of the hemisphere nations was shown the other
day when the United States moved to seize Axis
ships in its harbors to prevent sabotage. All up
and down the coasts of Latin America other
nations acted almost simultaneously.
Cuba, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela and
Chile took steps to extend custody over Axis ships,
although in Chile the ships had warning which
sent them into open sea before the authorities
arrived.
4N ACTION like this would have been impos-
sible to contemplate as recently as two years
ago. It proves that we are far past even the
"good neighbor" stage; and that the various na-
