Christian— (Continued from page 1) allow any foreign power to set up fortifications in this hemisphere which might endanger American ideals, customs, and peace.” Discussing his last point, Colonel Christian showed the various ways in which the Americas are doing all in their power to cooperate with each other in the maintenance of peace. In particular he dis cussed the important Panama Conference of 1939 and its far- reaching results. “What will we do to maintain neutrality in the present European crisis?” he asked, and answering his own question, he declared that. “I don’t know, but generally the particular circumstances in each case that comes up will decide the issue.” “The maintenance of neutrality by the Americas is a difficult prob lem,” he concluded, “but the Pana ma Conference was an important step in insuring the future safety of the Americas as they are con stituted today.” Following his address, consider able interest was evidenced by the audience through the many ques tions asked Colonel Christian in respect to his subject. Gladys Swarthout— (Continued from page 1) will stay, and her plans for Satur day, are not definitely known. College Station is Miss Swarth- out’s only stop in Texas for the season except for her performance at Lubbock.

She will be accompanied at the piano by a Mr. Bridges who is himself a noted pianist. He will offer three solos during the inter mission. John Rosser, manager of College Station radio station WTAW, hopes to arrange for an interview of Miss Swarthout over the air at some time during her stay here.
