A Policy We Approve
The unprecedented demonstra-
tion accorded to President Roose-
velt on his visit to South America
should bring a glow of pleasure
and satisfaction to every Ameri
can citizen regardless of political
faith.
For all the cheering, all the
honors extended with due form-
ality, all the fine speeches and
extravagant expressions of hom-
age and good will were not for a
man alone but for the nation
which he represents. The people
of South America were thus ex-
pressing their good will toward
citizens of the United States. This
attitude is significant in a time
when the nations of Europe are
tottering on the brink of a gen-
eral war, where new armaments
are being assembled behind each
border, where dangerous threats
are being issued from official
sources.
In adopting the policy of cem-
enting good will between North
and South America, and all the
nations of the continent, Presi-
dent Roosevelt has chosen a
course which meets with general
approval. We have all come-to
see that there is little we can
accomplish by meddling in the
muddled affairs of Europe. But
we have also begun to realize that
the nations of North and South
America should < stand together,
determined to resist collectively
any aggression from .Europe or
Asia and equally determined to
maintain a spirit of good will and
mutual understanding.
By promoting this policy we
will be doing our part to bring to
realization that dream of all
humanitarians and idealists—a
world at peace without the fear
of future war.

I asked a small school boy to
write something for my column.
It reads like this:
Now since Christmas Is so near,
I can hardly wait till it come^.
I went to see S&nta Claus and
he said if, little children
wouldn't behave he wouldn't
bring them anything for Christ-
mas, and Santa Claus will
come to see if, the children are
good or not and If they are not
good ne will not bring them any-
thing for Christmas.
Ullly said that he would like to
have him a rubber ball tor Chris-
tmas and a pair of carpet slip-
pers so that he could beat me
gutting my shoes on of a morn-
ing.
liut lie has been bad so Santa
Claus will not give him anything
lor Christmas. For Santa told me
so when I saw him the other day.
He said that he had been to
visit Billy the other nlte and Billy
was crying 'cause he had to gi
to bed early. ,
I saw Santa Claus the other
day but he wouldn't give me any
candy because I didn't have a
baby to carry through the line!
Embarrassing Moments: When
you go after your girl friend
and her mother tells you at the
door that some one else has al-
ready taken her off.
Xmas is almost here and I
haven't written my letter to Santa
Claus! Its hightime I did: •
Rooster Run
Arkansaw.
