Excerpt from Our Good Neighbor Hurdle At This critical moment, when hemispheric unity of all Americans, under their respective governments, is recognized as a permanent need, the voice of a veteran Protestant correspondent is raised to make possible the happy attainment of this objective, and to remove the one obstacle that else would inevitably impede any Good Neighbor Policy. Sincere and candid in its expression, the volume should promote good will, clear away unfortunate misunderstandings, clarify the atmosphere on both continents, and render possible a truly patriotic cooperation of all Americans. In this spirit it is written, and in the hope that it may facilitate a friendly and finely enduring relationship among all Americans, North and South, of whatever race or creed or color. More than that - by the removal of an otherwise insuperable obstacle to inter-American good will, it should substantially aid in advancing the cause of Christianity itself, which can only be the gainer by an impartial and realistic study of the facts here submitted with malice toward none and charity toward all, yet with that full measure of freedom and devotion which under the circumstances the common good demands.
