Imperialism Explained by Verne (..Blue "0 F ul l V nder standing Of Latin America Seems Necessary By CAROL HURL3URT “Thor*' isn't much to choose lie- . tween our policy in the Carrihean! sea and South America and that of j France in Morocco,” calmly an- : ^ n lunced Verne U. Blue, professor I of history, “except that France*is, quite frankly imperialistic and j America camouflages her policy by l»retending to do good. “Our traditional policy on the 1 whole has been one of sometime:! comcious and sometimes uncon scious imperialism. " I am not opposed to imperialism as imperialism. I am simply op posed to having, it disguised under false terms.” “At present,” Professor Blue de clared, "Porto Rico enjoys less free dom and less self government than she did in the hist year or two of the Spanish regime. “I have no objection to humani-i turiun efforts for these backward peoples, but it always seems strange that these humanitarian efforts are strongest where the natural re sources are the greatest.” "It is all right,” Professor Blue L looked cynical, “to provide pants for the heathen, but why expect them to pay for these pants by working bn sugar or rubber plan- j tat ions? “The Latin American countries feel themselves to be our equals. They may be willing to accept courtest, but 1 don’t look for any sentiment of union. “They feel their cultural union with Spain, since the old hatred \ died out, much more strongly than i they do with us. “The old ideal of a Pan-Ameri-j canism has given away to a Pan- j Latin movement which keenly real izes its own heritage.” ' Professor Blue went on to speak of this aspect of a Latin heritage and of the Indian population. " Few persons in America under stand Mexico,” lie said. “The ra‘ eial and the religious relations pro ride a social and political problem much greater than in our own coun try. , “We can’t judge Mexico from the railroad laborers- that we see in this country.

Glenn S. (Pop) Warner, head j coach of football at Stanford Uni versity, will conduct the {{rid course, assisted by Charles Winterlmru, Stanford baekfield coach. Ward Lewis Lambert, basketball mentor at Purdue and one of the loading I hoop coaches of the Big Ten con ference, will handle basketball, and Karl Seblademan, W. S. (\ track coach and formerly head track coach at the University of Kansas, will have the track and field classes. nii'iit is, of course, different from our own. It is a. reflection of the Spanish temperament just as our own is a reflection of the English. “The -main difference in regard to a large number of Latin Ameri can countries is that the population rests on a very great native cle ment which still survives, a prob lem which we don’t have simply because wo have eliminated it. “To apprehijiiM Latin America, to have any proper international at titude towards Latin America, we have got to respect her as a whole. “Americans are likely ;to take as n basis of respect a scale of material profits; yet in a great many things South Ameivch can show material profits.” Professor Blue spoke of the opera house at Beunos Aires, which is son sidered the most beautiful in the western hemisphere, of tile widen ing of the streets of Rio de Janeiro at a cost of $50,000,000, constitut ing a more elaborate program than any attempted by a city of the United States; of the first univer sity in America which was situated in Mexico City and was graduating | students in medicine and theology before, as he put it, “our ances tors were starving to death either in Jamestown or Plymouth.” Although the Latin American countries are progressing so as to ISISEiSEMSic'j WE RENT ’EM YOU DRIVE ’EM ...

Professor Blue believes tliiit it will be impossible to iilluy thoir suspicions and create any political bonds. “The government and the people generally recognize this suspicion on the part of Latin America and |that is the reason why we have l been sending so many good will tours. “Latin America is sympathetic, but it is a bit fed up on them. It wishes that instead of good will tours America would have a dif ferent policy at home.” Speaking of the tour of the presi dent elect and the effects that it would have on future relations, Pro fessor Blue said: “Whatever claims big business should raise would be upheld by 'the American govern ment. I certainly don't expect any far-sighted policy on the part, of President Hoover.” Professor Blue believes that the only wny to arrive at a spirit of brotherhood wiHi Latin America is to understand her art, her litem ; ture, her music, her culture. “Those nations nave' noble fea tures of their cultures, just us we have,” he emphasized, “and if we would cease to call people by nick names we would arrive much sooner at an understanding of them and of what they really represent.” Oregon Baseball Team Will Cross Bats With W.
