CULTURAL RELATIONS URGED BY WRITER Nerval Says Pan-American Move ment Needs Psychological Co-operation of IT. S. Emphasis upon the cultural ap proach as the greatest need of the pan-American movement today was suggested by Gaston Nerval, Latin American writer and lecturer, in an address Friday night before a joint meeting of the District’s International Relations Clubs. The speaker reviewed the gains re cently made in the official relations of the Government of the United States with the governments of the Latin American republics by President Roosevelt's “good neighbor” policy and Secretary Hull’s reciprocal trade pacts, but pointed out that politics and economics were not the only fac tors to be considered. No matter how successful the official diplomatic en deavors, nor how many the economic bonds between the two Americas, he stated, the groundwork for true pan Americanism will not be complete so long as the cultural or psychological factor is neglected. Nerval criticised the Ignorance pre vailing here as to all things Latin American, and declared that only when the political misunderstandings are being removed and the economic links fostered at the same time that the cultural rapprochement is tak ing place, “will the pan-American ideal become something else than mere diplomatic flattery or a romantic figure of speech."
