PAGE SIX EDITORIAL UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS SUNDAY, APRIL 21, 1940 The Kansan Comments -- EDITORIALS LETTERS PATTER Peace With Armor With the fiftieth anniversary celebration of the Pan-American Union, word comes from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile-all the Americas-confirming the need of unity among western hemisphere nations. The by-product of such unity for the last half century has been Pan-Americanism, an agent with an easy-going surface but an interior decoration of force and action. The Union is now as peaceful as the Aztec garden of its headquarters in Washington. That it has annihilated ancient barriers was evident when delegates of Bolivia and Paraguay stood up before representatives of other American nations in Panama last September and resolved to let bygones be bygones in the Chaco. United under the covenant of their league, the nations cling to each other and the inviolability of the Monroe doctrine. With that doctrine back of it as a stop-light to foreign nations, the Union can be nothing less than a great force. Excepting Canada and small European states, the league comprises an entire hemisphere. It controls a 250 million population and a great share of the world's unexploited resources. A steady power, it can hand down ultimatums for which there is no vacillation, no willy-nilly changing by those with an "ax to grind". Active unity, force, and power are screws in the armor of American defense. They bind up one country with all the rest. They make possible mutual army and navy bases, mutual trade, mutual policy. They substantiate the safety of the U.S. with an army only a little larger than Bulgaria. They secure southern countries which possess only embryonic defense forces. Ending its first 50 years, the Pan American Union has made good its vow. No foreign armies have marched to conquest on American soil in that period—nor will they in the future if Pan-Americanism has its way.

An R.O.T.C. boy denounced the New Republic to the editors as a lot of Fascist propaganda. W.A. White will please take note and withdraw the privilege of using his name in advocating its columns.
