We might itave saved the story

The lad who wears the khaki
uniform of his nation's army
writes to you in part:
words cannot say how very
much I .appreciate what you have
done for me. Without vou I could
never have made this trip - home
to mv mother's bedside. Sh is
still very seriously ill but am sure
that my stay at home, was- com

to thank for that."
You say you didn't -get the let
ter?
Of course, he didn't know your
name so he could not address it
to you. ; ' f
It came simply to your agency,
the Marion county chapter of the
American Red Cross, and is brief
but eloquent expression of what
many another service man thinks
of the assistance he or his family
may have received from that or-
ganization.
When this particular soldier,
stationed with one of the military
organizations near Salem, received
the telegram telling of the critical
illness of his mother he might
have been even more worried and
grief -stricken than he was, be
cause he did not have the money
to make the trip across the coun
try. But he knew, or shortly
learned, that just such emergen
cies are met daily by the Red
Cross and from the Marion county
office he received the transporta
tion funds which sent him on his
way home in a few hours.

A large part of the money re
ceived by our chapter from the re
cent war fund drive is being ex
pended for just such cases. ;

Mexican' Address Text
MONTEREY, Mexico,
April 20 AP) The text of
President Roosevelt's speech
here Tuesday night follows:
Your excellency's friendly and
cordial expressions add to the very
great pleasure which I fee) at be
ing here on Mexican soil. . . ;
.-It is an amazing thing to have
to realize that nearly thirty four
years have passed since chief ex
ecutives of our two nations have
met face to face.,; X hope that in
the days to come every Mexican
and every American - president
will feel , at liberty to visit each
other just as neighbors visit each
other ust '' as , neighbors I. ; talk
things over and get to know each
other better.
Our two countries owe their in
dependence to the fact -that your
ancestors and mine held the same
truths to be worth fighting for
and dying for. Hidalgo and Juar-
were men of the same stamp
as - wningwn uu enersun,
was, therefore, inevitable that our
two countries should find them
selves aligned together In the great
struggle which is being fought to
day to determine whether this
shall be a free or slave world.
The attacks of the axis pow
ers, daring the past few years
against oar common heritage as
free men culminated in the un
speakable and unprovoked ag-
,gressions of December 7, 1141,
and May 14, "IMS, aad the shed
ding of blood on those dates of
citisens of the United States
and of Mexico alike.
(On May 14. Mexico announc
ed loss of her first ship to an axis
submarine, the tanker Petrero Del
Llano, and a strong note to Ger
many, Italy and Japan, demanding
men, including the captain and
deck officers, died as the tanker
burst into flames, off Miami beach.
There was an immediate popular
outcry of war. which Mexico de-
cum juay ao. . ; ?
Those attacks did not find the
western hemisphere unprepared.
The twenty-one free republics of
the Americas during, the -past ten
years have- devised a system of
international cooperation which
has become a . great bulwark in
the defense of our heritage ' and
our future. That system, whose
strength is now evident evervtj)
the most skeptical, is based pri
marily upon a renunciation of the
use of force and the enshrining of
international justice and mutual
respect as the governing rule of
conduct by all nations.
In the forging of that new in
ternational policy the role of Mex
ico has been outstanding. Mexican
presidents and foreign ministers
have appreciated the nature of the
struggle with which we are now
confronted at a time when many
nations much closer to the focus
of infection were blind.
The wisdom of the measures
which the statesmen of Mexico
and the United States and of the
other American republics have
adopted at Inter-American gath
erings d urine recent years has
been amply demonstrated. They
have succeeded because they
have been placed in effect, not
only by Mexico and the United
States, but by all except one of
