Author Description

Excerpt from Macy's Latin American Fair: Jan. 17-Feb. 7, 1942 American. In the Western Hemisphere we have come to the realization that if we would solve those problems successfully, we must face them not as North Americans or South Americans, but as Americans All. Through the years there has been sporadic talk, always well meant, of good will and good neighbors, of inter-american friendship and Hemisphere unity. Our Latin American friends have felt, perhaps rightly, that talk was cheap. Talk is cheap and good will makes fine diplo matic conversation, but friendship does not live on promises and there can be unity only when there is knowledge, understanding, and a free and profitable exchange of the products of the hands and hearts of men. We in the United States have become acutely aware of our geographic identity with Latin America, of our interdependence and of our unity of purpose. We are awake to the obligation to let our deeds speak louder than words. Concrete evidence of our good will can best be shown by a strenuous effort to improve our economic relations.
