Red Cross Campaign
Goal Set At $1500
The 1946 Red Cross drive, in
itiating Oregon’s campaign to
raise $1500, will begin on the
campus Monday, Geneva Davis,
chairman of the drive, announced
yesterday. The drive, which will be
represented in each house by one
chairman, will strive to solicit one
dollar from each individual in the
.ii^jng organization. The first or
ganization to reach this 100 per
cent goal will receive the Red Cross
cup.
To chart the progress of the
drive for Oregon students to see,
a miniature house will be built in
the Co-op, with construction pro
gressing as funds are contributed.
When the first $500 is recorded,
the floor and foundation will be
established, and at $1000, the walls
will be erected. When the all
campus goal of $1500 is attained,
the house will be completed. A
booth will also be placed in the
Co-op for students living off cam
pus who wish to contribute to the
drive.
Mary Landry, president of the
University chapter of the Red
Cross, has urged all students to
make this drive a success, for, de
clared Miss Landry, “the end of
the war does not mean that the
Red Cross needs your dollars any
less.’’
Miss Landry pointed out that
the Red Cross helped to save many
"people from the disasters of the
Eugene floods, and with financial
support from students from the
University, will continue to help
those in need.

Changes in Latin Relations
By BEVERLY JAMES
‘ All honeymoons must end someday,” remarked Dr. Lewis
Hanke, director of the Hispanic foundation in the library of
congress, in an address at Friendly hall last night.
“We are approaching a new phase of internationalism,” he
stated. “The going will be tougher and there will be more com
petition. Just when we are slacking off, England, France, Russia
and Spain come back into the
field.”
“We now have world responsi
bility,” continued Dr. Hanke,
“When we are trying to make our
selves known to other nations, we
cannot spend so much time with
South America.”
Dr. Hanke mentioned three im
portant points that would affect
our relationship with South Ameri
ca. He said the competition will be
keener, congressional vigilance
will be sharper, and, in view of
the larger world, Latin America
will be smaller.
“I am not in sympathy,” stated
Dr. Hanke, “with those people who
believe we wasted a lot of money
in Latin American relationships.”
He said that we could have spent
30 billion dollars instead of three
billion had it not been for the
principle of non-intervention, but
we would have spent a lot and not
gone very far.
With the universities continuing
their international relationships
and the various federal agencies,
the United States could carry on
cooperative enterprises with Latin
America, said Dr. Hanke. Stress
ing Inter-Americanism, he stated
that we should use our influence

to build up inter-American rela
tionships.
When questioned as to whether
the people of South America re
sented some of .the projects that
the United States was bringing
forth, Dr. Hanke said that “we
always make sure that they want
them by waiting till they ask for
them and are willing to put up
part of the cash.’’
In conclusion, E)r. Hanke said
that both people and institutions
must take part in our relationships
with Latin America.
