United States to Fortify Canadian Ties
President Outlines New Hemispheric Defense Program
WASHINGTON. Oct. 13 —(U.P>— The administration will seek to strengthen relations between the United States and Canada as the next step in the hemispheric de- ' fense program outlined by Presi- ' ident Roosevelt Saturday, in his Dayton, O.. speech, it was learned tonight.
Administration leaders were said to feel that a remarkable degree of solidarity already has been achieved among the 21 American re- I publics and that implementation of bonds linking this country with its northern neighbor would add much to a show of hemispheric defense strength.
SPECIFIC AGREEMENT SOUGHT
Establishment of the U.S.-Canadian joint defense board already has brought relations between the two countries to an unprecedented high point, but it was understood that an effort will be made to forge a more specific and firmer agreement.
Suggestions have been advanced in the past that Canada should be invited to join the Pan-American union of nations, but they never have been accepted. Some observers believed such an invitation might ; now be contemplated, but most diplomatic sources were inclined to doubt this. They believed it was most unlikely that the dominion would actiyely associate itself in any Pan-American organization unless Great Britain should suffer overwhelming reverses.
DEFENSES STRENGTHENED
It was pointed out that Canada, in striving to aid the mother country as much as possible, has increased its defense strength tremendously since the war started. Its aircraft industry has been expanded several-fold and munitions enterprises also have been built up.
Inclusion of Canada's industrial ' and military defense units in this i hemisphere’s forces would add much to its strategic potentialities, it was felt, while it also would mean indirectly a stronger commitment by the Latin American republics to side with the democracies against the totalitarian powers.

University of Panama’s Founder to Speak at Wednesday Lecture
Octavio Mendez Perreira, visiting professor of Spanish language and literature, will speak on “Democratic Monroism and Totalitarian Monroism" at the Wednesday lecture in the art and lecture room of Doheny library at 4:30 p.m.
Mr. Mendez is the founder and former president of the University of Panama, and one of the leading educators and scholars in South America. He has served Panama as the ambassador plenipotentiary to France and England, and as a delegate to the League of'Nations. He has also received the Legion of Honor, an international honorary degree.
In his speech, he will attempt to show that Monroism has become a continental doctrine, uniting North and South America with those countries of Europe which still maintain a democracy against the totalitarian countries that use Monroism as an excuse to destroy the liberties of other countries.
In his travels through Latin America. he has noted the Nazi and Fascist influence, and their effect on the people, which he plans to discuss briefly in his talk.
He will also trace the development of Monroism in the minds of the leaders of the Latin American countries, which caused it to change from a protective policy of the United States, to its present status.

Picture Troyview boarding house in the night of Thursday, October 10; time, about 9:30. Imagine the 16 girls who room there, each placidly going about her uninspiring, pre-bedtime routine.
