Latin-American friends when a
group of South American visit-
ra spent the day of February
12, on the campus.
The sixteen Spanish-speaking
sight-seers came down to study
the education facilities and
methods of teacher instruction
being offered here. Thev are at-
tending the Inter-American In-
stitute at the University of
North Carolina. They were ac-
companied by Professor Hugo
Giduz and Professor A. K. King
of the University, and A. W.
Honeycutt and Walter Conrad of
the Chapel Hill school system.
Arriving shortly after 10 a. m.
they were welcomed by Miss
Davis, Dr. Adams, and Mr.
Deal. Many of the South Ameri-
cans were interested in Elemen-
tary education. Those interested
in primary education spent the
morning visiting the Training
school and were very attentive
as the pupils proceeded with
their regular work. The children
themselves seemed thrilled as
the strangers observed their ac-
tivities and talked to them in
broken English. Many of them
spoke very well though, having
'earned all the English that they
spoke since coming to the X'nit-
ed States three weeks ago.

Events believed to be pushing the Nazis into action in the
Balkans or elsewnere are not of German but of British origin.
The British are being helped in their policy of forcing the fight
by the Greek victories over Italy and the United States' arms and
munitions aid. Germany must move without delay for if she waits
too long for favorable weather her Axis partner, Italy, may be
bevond help.
London military observers are considering the possibility of
an attempted invasion of Britain synchronized with thrusts in the
Balkans at the Suez Canal and at Gibraltar by way of Spain. They
have also been weighing the possibilities of a Japanese attempt at
Signapore and Hong Kong naval bases. At least the Balkans and
Gibraltar campaigns might be tried within 30 days which means
before the middle of March.
Time is of the essence for Germany. There are strong indi-
cations that she is not only showering Balkan neutrals with "or
else" demands, but is also pressing Spain and Japan to create di-
version which might scatter British sea power.
Considering these indications and the fact that the sweep of
circumstances throughout the eight months since the Battle of
Britain began has been against the Axis mates, despite their bril-
liant previous victories on the continent one will readily conceed
that a crisis must be at hand for Hitler and II Duce.
While the Nazi bigwigs are putting pressure on the Bulga-
rian and Yugoslavian government in an attempt to secure peaceful
passage for German troops through the Balkans to bolster the
failing legions of Mussolini, the Greeks claim that a new offensive
is cracking Italian defense. Latest reports tell of the Greek of-
fensive gaining ground in almost all sectors while at the same

Fear that the Eurpoean war might spread to the Orient is
based on a belief that Japan will join Germany and Italy in a

Britain is taking precautions against surprise Japanese attack at

Digging For Dirt
By S. H. O'Vell
You Have The Privilege�Don't Abuse It
An effort by the Women's Student Government Council and
the Men's Student Government Council to obtain administrative
sanction whereby students of East Carolina Teachers College may
use the bowling ally near the school has met with success. All this
is well and good, but you'll lose this privilege if it is abused. When
the proposal was brought to the attention of the Administration,
it was decided to approve it purely on an experimenal basis. You
as students will determine whether the privilege will be extended
at the expiration period or be continued indefinitely. As long as
you abide by the regulations governing the use of the bowling
alley, it is your privilege to enjoy this healthful recreation to the
fullest degree. If you do not cooperate the privilege, long-sought
by the student body, will be taken away. The matter is in your
hands, students.
You'll Likely Be Seeing More Of Them
With history-making map changes being wrought in Europe
and economic ties between the United States and South America
being drawn closer together, associations with people of South
America are not going to uncommon in the not-so-far-distant
future. In the Pan-American Conference held in Cuba several
months ago under the leadership of Cordell Hull there was a
strong effort to strengthen the relations between the United
States and the Latins. This has met with favorable results. Last
week students of East Carolina Teachers College were provided
an opportunity to learn what these people are like. They found
them sociable and entertaining. Even though they had been in
this country only a few weeks they had learned enough English
to be understood in a conversation. Regardless of our attitude to-
ward them they are going to be an integral part of the economic
and political life of the United States. Wait and see!

lide practice despite pleas to refrain from it. Notices are placed

mizations find notices defaced, sometimes unreadable, it does

Parade Of Opinion
by Associated Collegiate Press)
Effectiveness of General Charles de Gaulle's Free French
forces in aiding the British in their African successes, continued
rumblings from Vichy and Paris, and the growing belief in well
informed circles that Marshal Petain and Reichsfuehrer Hitler
are heading for a showdown, have served to focus attention once
more of the situation in which conquered France finds hers
Undergraduate students of foreign affairs in the United Stab 3
feel that France's role is still destined to be important, despite
fact that Petain's regime has virtually no alternative to com
collaboration with the conquerors.
At Iowa State college, the Daily Student waxes skeptical in
"ailing attention to Petain's recent assertion that France is a
sovereign nation, vested with the dutv of defending her soil, ex-
tinguishing divergences of opinion and reducing dissidences of the
colonies. "According to the French official continues the Stu-
dent, "an agreement was made for the two countries (France and
Germany) to collaborate in rebuilding a crippled France. Hitler
'forced no one to dictate: no pressure Petain said. Maybe so.
observers the Iowa publication, "but somehow it just doesn't ring
true. The stigma of Hitler's propagandistic methods seers to
taint Petain's every word . . It is hard to believe that Hitler won't
shape the rebuilding of France as he wants it
The University Daily Kansan joins in the view that "the
French government, totalitarian since its armistfce with Ger-
many, has little choice but to accede to whatever terms may be of-
fered by the Axis in peace negotiations, regardless of the conse-
quences�chief of which would probably be a declaration of war
on Great Britain. And a declaration of war on its tradition?Vally
would precipitate a breach of diplomatic contact with the United
States and South American nations which Petain considers esen-
Hal to France's welfare in regard to hoped-for and much-needed
food supplies
It is pointed out by the Cornell Dailv Sun that "with France
unwillingly, or otherwise, lining up with the Axis powers, the
ouestion of her colonies has come back into the news. President
Rosevelt is reported to have warned the Vichy government that
further signs of military co-operation between Germany and
France may result in this country seizing Martinique and French
Guiana. But there are other elements in our affairs with France.
Most important, there is Dakar, in French West Africa, a port
which an offended France might turn over to Germany. This base
on the South Atlantic, some 1,800 miles from Brazil, in event of
an Axis victory would be a seat of operations for any attempt at
nenetration of this hemisphere. It is, of course, out of the question
for our navy to go over to Africa and occup every potential 'enemy'
oint of operations. Nevertheless, the fact remains that the presi-
Jtnt will have to consider the role of Dakar, in any decision which
-vill determine future relations with France Thus, while formal
United States friendship for France continues, the concensus of
collegiate editoral thought is that Germany will tighten its iron
rrip on France and that the prostrate Vichy government will be
forced to assume a key role in Hitler's attempt at world revolu-
tion.
