The County Seat Paper NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA The Gold one _MONDAY, NOVEMBER’ 24, 1941. Cr— Thinking Out Loud S —J The conclusion of the European hostilities will undoubtedly see the greatest miass migration of people from Europe ever seen in all history. This is inevitable regardless of the outcome of the present titanic struggle. The reasons for this mass migration of the Huropean peoples are painfully obvious— the lack of political and economic security to people who have grown sick of perpetual warfare, or, in general terms, one war per generation. In the main the vast hordes of immigrants from Europe to Latin America will be welcome in those regions but all watin peoples will insist that they leave their European politics in Europe. The newcomer will have to adjust himself to local conditions and he will find in any country of South or Central America the same prevailing sentiment, towit: “Our wine may ‘be sour ‘but it is our wine,” and ithe newcomer to the country must adapt himself to conditions and not hope to influence the political progress or affairs of the country. I firmly believe that every country of Latin America will absorb their European Immigrants without prejudice to their time honored institutions or customs. Pan American solidarity will be the strongest political factor on earth at that time and will be the prime meaning of the mass’ immigration to Latin America, The line of cleavage between the New World and the Old World will be as clearly visible as the Grand Canyon in broad “daylight. The Pan American Airways system which is the sparkplug of our export trade with Latin America must be left free to continue its expansion and cooperation with the various countries of the Americas. The International Pacific Highway must be completed in the interest of the Pacific Coast and a system must be evolved whereby the American dollar becomes the trade dollar throughout the New World. boners" : Every country of Latin America will, in the future, see to it that European immigration does not interfere with the political interests of their long established customs. Spain _and* Portugal will never be a dominant influence in ithe cultural nor business affairs ofany Latin American country because they have nothing to offer of a modern nature, Such. countries as Chile, Mexico, and “Argenitina will take the lead in producing qualified engineers for the development of their matural resources. This has been evident for quite some period of time. In plain’ words the countries comprising Latin America will emerge from this decade with a stronger sense of nationalism than they have ever had heretofore and itis a case of European immigrants adopting themselves to the conditions which they find in Latin America and not a matter of forcing European ideas and customs on Latin America. Every republic of South America was colonized long before the United States was and: the new comer must adapt himself to their customs either economic or political. The recent attempts of the German Nazis to interfere with local governments everywhere has taught the Latin Americans how to deal with such interference and reminded them of the fact that their inheritance consists of vast -natural resources which must be safe guarded at all times. The United States will emerge from this warring decade more thoroughly equipped for mass production than any other country in the world and if the ship4building program now in progress is continued on a common _ sense basis this country will possess the greatest power of distribution and common sense is all that is needed to produce a lasting prosperity for all the Americas. Trade, to be profitable, must be a two way matter of distribution and reciprocal trade agreements aré absolutely necessary especially with the trop“ieal countries of Latin America L. R. Jefford, former coroner of Nevada County and now Mary Jefford Will Left Most Of $10,000 Estate To Son a Grass Valley businessman, is bequeathed most of the state of the late Mary A. The will was dated December 3, 1940.
