Grimes addresses SDX banquet Former 'Rag' editor says newspaperman must Tcnow everything' To do his job well and to write intelligently the modern news paperman must know "every thing," George Grimes, associate editor of the Omaha World-Herald, last night told members of Sigma Delta Chi at their initia tion and SOth anniversary ban quet. "A student planning to enter the professional journalism field should take the hardest courses the university has to offer, he said. Grimes pointed out that the old time requirements for good news papermen had changed until now the newspaperman is almost re quired to be a specialist in one or two limited phases of his work. Speaking of his days as a DAILY NKBRASKAN editor, Grimes told of the differences be tween the "Rag" office of his day and the "Rag" office of today. Grimes declared that the editor of a campus publication ought to be in hot water most of the time at least until he is run out of his job. Commenting on the recent at tacks against the press made In this country, Grimes declared that the attacks were gxd for the newspapers of the country and that newspapers need constant in telligent criticism.

S. capital Latin America has become the , foremost center for the investment of American capital, according to Dr. Nels A. Bengtson, chairman of the department of geography of the University of Nebraska, who addressed a Kearney State Teachers College convocation Tuesday morning. "This investment trend will probably continue," he said, "lie cause it is natural that American capital should seek investment in countries near home. It is likely to become even more pronounced, due to the general backwardness of that territory and the need for continued improvement in the fu ture. While during the next decade Canada is likely to be in the fore front as an outlet for American investments, on a longer time ba sis it seems highly probable that Latin America will forge ahead." Interest In Latin Politics Increases The University geographer warned, however, that with invest ments of increasing importance in Latin America, this country's con cern with the political aspects and behaivors there will inevitably be come greater than it has been in the past.

States must show to the world her willingness to play the game of business and of statesmanship in a spirit of fairness, and also that thru a strong navy we must be prepared to insist upon that policy on the part of others as well. "We should not overlook the fact that Latin America normally serves as the outlet market for approximately 20 percent of our exports and as the source for 23 to 25 percent of our imports," Dr. Bengtson stated. "Any section of the world that serves as a market for about 20 percent of our ex ports is worthy of careful consid eration by American business in terests." He mentioned the sharp con trasts in the geographic environ ment and nationalities of the country, and the vigorous and continuous economic pressures by business and political powers of European countries and Japan as the most urgent problems facing Latin America today. " "Her greatest needs," he said, "are the development of power re sources, the achievement of sani tation, the establishment of stable government and the setting up of an efficient svstem of education.'
