South American Speaker Says
Crises Bring Countries Closer
By ANNE CRAVEN
The present in ternational crisis will draw North and South
America into closer cooperation politically, economically, and
culturally, predicted Dr. Carlos Garcia-Prada Thursday morn
ing in the opening speech of the Inter-American relations insti
tute on the campus. Speaking in McArthur court, the native
Colombian and former member of the Colombian Congress,
wno is now proiessor ot Romance
languages and literature at the
University of Washington, told
the assembly that “we must de
velop complementary economics
«'th South America supplying the
w materials and North Ameri
ca the manufactured goods.”
“Cooperation on political
ground has been taking place a
very long time,” he said. “On cul
tural grounds, a new culture will
be developed by the two Americas
which will be naturally based up
on that which we have inherited
from Europe.”
Three Spheres
“The impression I have gotten
from my travels is that the world
is going to be divided very soon
into three great spheres of politi
cal, economic, and cultural influ
ence.” These spheres will be Asi
atic, European including Africa,
and American.
To the unified America of the
future, North America will con
tribute science, industries, and
mmmerce, he said, while South
America will contribute poetry,
painting, music, dancing, relig
ion, and similar creative proud
ucts.
Look to Future
North and South America are
very much alike, the Colombian
said. Unlike the Asiastics who
worship the past or the Europeans
who worship the present, Amer
icans look toward the future.
“Because we believe in the fu

ture, we also believe in liberty and
have great hopes for the 'chance
of improving everything," he said.
Not only are their beliefs simi
lar, but the people themselves are
similar, Dr. Garcia-Prada said.
‘‘The New World is the point
where East has met West after
all.” The people in North Amer
ica are mixtures of different rac
es from Europe, those in South
America are mixtures of different
races from Asia.
Dr. Garcia-Prada stated that
Buenos Aires, Argentina, and oth
er large cities in South America
are like any metropolitan cities—
a mixture of people from all over
the world who are joined togeth
er by similar political, economical
and cultural beliefs.
‘‘If we Americans of the North
and the South are going to build
anything that is worth building,
we must be from the beginning
frank, honest, and sincere,” Dr.
Garcia-Prada said.

followed and in a few brief
months she had established her

Won Prize
Yet this, really, was the first
audition in which Dorothy May
nor had ever met with success.
She just hasn't had much luck
with tryouts.
Twice before, she ruefully con
fesses, she tried out in vocal com
petitions before music organiza
tions; and each time someone
else was declared the winner.
This time, however, the judge
was Serge Koussevitzky, who
immediately recognized her great
artistry; and this time it looks
as though Miss Maynor had cap
tured the prize.
