Waynick Talks
On Thursday
We should take an interest in
the promotion of good neighbor
liness”, emphasized Capus M. Way-
nick. The former ambassador to
Nicaragua was guest speaker in
chapel Thursday as Salem observed
International Day.
In stressing the significance of
internationalism now, the speaker
contrasted it. with this country’s
early diplomacy which was simpi
and unimportant. As a young na
tion, the United States grew strong
and fast without alliances, dissatis
fied to hide behind England. While
.building its culture and economy,
the country had to recognize its
new place. It fought for peace but
could not establish it.
After World War II, the United
States tried to “do business” with
Russia with a common denominator
of understanding, ^but it had over
looked Russia’s ruthlessness and
determination for personal gain
The U. S. has spent blood and
money in trying to establish peace,
and now it has armed itself for
self-protection.
Mr. Waynick offered as a solu
tion to these chaotic conditions,
strengthening of U. S. relationships
with Latin neighbors. These coun
tries have rich cultures; they are
customers of the U. S., and they
have needed raw materials. By the
year 2000, Latin countries will have
a population twice that of English-
speaking people.
Yesterday afternoon, as another
part of International Day, a panel
discussed “The Position of Minor
ity Groups Around the World”.

velop her and enrich the Norwegian

in contact. The Norwegian student

represents a normal American
background.
In addition to these things, Betsy
is also looking forward to the sum
mer to find a stimulus for her per
sonal interests, particularly in the
field of English, and in her develop
ment as a person of fewer pre
judices and sounder philosophy of
life.
