Americans who still regard Latin America as a place where U.S. high financiers make a lot of no-good loans may soon change their minds. The case for a change of mind was last week put by a man who has watched Latin America grow, and from the inside: James S. Carson of Electric Bond & Share Co. (whose American & Foreign Power subsidiary has had plenty of financial troubles in selling electricity to eleven Latin American republics, but still has a larger investment south of the border than any other North American corporation). Blunt James Carson, speaking for the National Foreign...

All Orientals living in the U.S. should be made eligible for naturalization; immigration quotas should be set up for all nationalities "on a basis of absolute equality."

Russia's Mumbo-Jumboism Sirs: Apropos your recent article on "Churches in Russia" (TIME, April 12) and particularly with regard to this quotation: "Most foreign observers . . . believe that the Kremlin is basically just as anti-religious as it ever was," I should like to offer a word of parenthetical comment. It is apparently little remembered that pre-revolution Russia's official religion - and consequently "religion" as the Russians understand the term - was about as unchristian a religion as any African mumbo-jumboism. In support of this I offer the following statements made by John MacMurray, eminent professor...
