Cox calls for aid to Britain,
U.S. control of leadership
Either the United States must
play a conspicuous part in world
affairs through its leadership, ef
fected by a policy of Pan-Amer
icanism, or it must allow Hitler
ized Germany to do it. declared
Prof. Isaac J. Cox at a convoca
tion in the Union Friday.
A policy of pan-Americanism,
the speaker, who is chairman of
the history department at North
western university, continued,
would include reciprocal trade and
arbitration of disputes and must
not only be continued and expand
ed in the western hemisphere but
it must, take into account the en
tire world to insure future peace
and security for the Americas.
"We need a more aggressive de
fense in granting all possible aid
to Great Britain and the democra
cies," Prof. Cox stated. "It is not
enough to say that we will meet
all foes on the western continents.
Threat to Americansim.

threaten pan-Americanism not
only through the peril of direct at

more through economic and polit

their rodeo on sunny afternoon
The Farmers' Fair board pulled
one over on the weatherman yes
terday and had their rodeo without
rain.
Beginning slowly, the rodeo
spirit gained momentum as the
steers bucked harder, twisted more
and bellowed louder. Winner of
the steer riding contest was George
Pete Post, jr., student at Wes
leyan college.
The intersorority ride, one of
the attractions of the afternoon's
events, was won by Betty O'Shea,

second, and Mary Kier, Alpha Phi,

is possible now but it will be in

When tracing the history of th
Pan-Americanism movement, Prof
Cox said that the United States
began to feel considerable interest
in the South American countries
in 1810, since at that time they
started to gain independence from
their former Flatus as colonics of
European powers. This was fol
lowed in the latter part of the 19th
century by a policy of indifference
and neglect.
The United States joined other
great powers in a policy of eco
nomic imperialism and became in
terested in South America again
from about 1898 to 1928, but this
time more in a sense of exploita
tion. Following this the idea of
isolationism was expanded to in
clude the entire western hemi
sphere with the emphasis on co-operation
and mutual guardianship of
the Monroe doctrine.
