THEMES PAN AMERHCANHSM PART OF A STATEMENT ISSUED BY HON. HENRY A. WALLACE, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES PAN-AMERICANISM is an ideal which tran- scends this hemisphere, and which can serve as a pattern for an international society where people can live and work in freedom, friendship, and in peace. However, unless we uphold it to achieve a strong unity within the Americas now, in times of danger, we shall not have the necessary moral and material capac- ity to assume the leadership for a just and HON HENRY A WALLACE charitable peace after the danger is past. Vce President of the United States MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF THE PAN AMERICAN UNION, DR. L. S. ROWE IT is hardly necessary for me to assure you how deeply the Pan American Union appreciates the honor that you have conferred in dedicating to this international organization of the twenty-one republics of America the Year Book of the La Salle High School. At this critical period in our nation's history the strengthening of our cultural and economic ties with the sister nations of this continent becomes a matter of supreme importance. At the recent Conference of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the American Republics held at Rio de Ianeiro, the spirit of Pan American co-operation reached its highest expression. Today the Americas are giving to the world an example of unity of purpose and unity of policy which constitute the best safeguard for the security of the Western Hemisphere cmd the preservation of our democratic institutions. ly Left to right: Dominick Cutroneo: Don Bagwell in the act of dedi- cating the 1942 Ongiara: Irene Marin, Dr. L.
