Gray Addresses Education Workshop;
Discusses Latin-American Relations
"United States must show toler
ance, sympathy, and apprecia
tion 'for her Latin American
neighbors," declared Dr. William
H. Gray, associate professor of
Latin-American history and
chairman of the committee on in
ternational relations at the Col
lege, when he addressed students
of the Education Workshop re
cently.
"The government of many of
the Latin American countries will
seem insufficient in its democratic
ways," stated Dr. Gray. "It is to
ward these countries that toler
ance must be displayed. A smpa
thetic attitude must be used in
dealing with those nations which
seem socially or economically
backward. The good offered by
Latin America to the United
States should be fully appre
ciated."
Recently, 'because of a desire to
balance their national economics,
many of the Latin American
countries began to develop. their
industries revealed Dr. Gray. In
tra-American trade and the Latin-
American attitude toward labor
have done much.taward the build
ing of the industries in the 20 re
publics, according to the history
professor.
Since the outbreak of the pres
ent conflict, the United States has
greatly increased her South
American purchases, stated Dr.
Gray. At present, according to
statistics quoted by 'Dr. Gray, the
United States owes four billion
dollars worth of merchandise tto
her Latin Ameerican neighbors.
In his discussion of "Our Neigh
bors to the South," Dr. Gray
pointed out that the Latin Ameri
can' countries don't mind foreign
ers who open industries in their
countries as long as these immi
grants become permanent resi
dents of these countries. He also
revealed the fact that the national
government has made. plans to
to give postwar low interest loans
to Latin - Aniericari • 'countries 'to
aid in their industrialization.
Dr. Gray also discussed the var
iety of governments and the
methods of changing these in
Latin America - during the last five
years. •According to his studies, he
has found that 5 countries have
uni-cameral -legislatures and 15
hi-cameral law making houses.
The republics also vary in methods
of .separation of powers and in
terms of office. Presidents serve
anywhere' from one to eight years
before .they are reelected.
"The Latin Americans have the
idea to be self-governing, but
they also possess -feet of lead
which weigh them down," stated
Dr; Gray when describing the
various governments and the in
fluence the United States exer
cises over them.
•"One, way in which. the • United
States:exercises ' control over • her

governments which cannot main

and which refuses to support the
-Allied war efforts," declared the
history professor.
Among the nations cited by Dr.
Gray- who •have been ruled by the
same president at least since 1941
were: Brazil, Haiti, Mexico, Ni
caragua, and Paraguay, Chile,
Cuba, Columbbia, Costa Rico, the
Dominican Republic, Peru, Vene
zuela, and Uraguay are countries
in which there have recently been
fairly peaceful elections. Costa
Rico prides itself as being the
most democratic of the 20 repub
lics, pointed out Dr. Gray.
Argentina, Bolivia,, Equador,
Guatemala, Panama, and San
Salvador suffered recent violent
zovernmentaa changes. Dr. Gray
stated that the latest one of these
was the overthrow of the rulers of
Panama. The •president now serv
ing this country was only elected
three weeks ago, added the his

Players Speed'
Through Practice
(Continued from page one)
Lee (Carol Broberg) appears on
the stage with her arm in• .a sling;
Douglas Procter (Jack Reid)
wears blue jeans and a plaid
shirt; Miriam (Shirley Friedman)
goes through her part clothed in a
pair of high-heeled red pumps
and a long housecoat as she prac
tices running up and down stairs
without tripping.
Everything about the rehearsal
is informal. Members of the cast
snap their fingers in the air, pound
on their foreheads, or scratch their
heads as they try to remember
their next• lines. They haven't
much time to recall them, how
ever, for if a pause lasts more
than a second or two the prompter
calls the line out and the re
hearsal goes on at full speed.
As Ann Procter (Betty Shenk)
and Evelyn (Margaret Keefe or
Marjorie Stout, alternately) stand
at one end of the stage repeating
their lines, Aunt Martha (Verna
Sevast) sits on the sofa with her
ear cupped in her hand, strain
ing to hear her. cues. The two talk
so hurriedly that she can't under
stand them at times and the book
holder fills in for her.
Three_ times the actors goes
through each scene without stop
ping to pause. They very rarely
leave the stage, for things are
moving so fast that they haven't
time. When they do come offstage
they are gasping from talking so
fast,
The confusion created now
while actors work to perfect their
lines is a promise of a fine, pol
ished performance when "Guest In
The Tiouse" is given before an
audience.
