HISPANIC STUDIES
818,---1 should like to thank you sincerely for the article by Mr. J. M. Cohen (Spectator, December 28), with the hope that it will be the first of many emphasising the importance of considering seriously what is being done in the universities and cultural institutions on Latin American subjects, and pro- moting systematically the study of the problems 'aced by the various nations of Latin America in their relations with this country. No one now has any doubt that Latin America is a market offering unsuspected possibilities and a Promising cultural field. The purchasing power of rLatin America grows daily and her capacity to pay is steadily increasing, as well as the possibility of meeting the credits granted. , The desire of the new Latin American genera- tions for knowledge is also very great, as is shown by this real burst of university teaching in Mexico, ,,Where schools are being built constantly and even '''ay by day. If the traditional British interest in
Latin America is broadened by study, discussion and
explanation of Latin American affairs, and if the teaching of Spanish is established in an organic form, there is no doubt that the young people who Great studying in the universities and schools of ‘.-Freat Britain will have a great future in a world that is still really new, and in spite of its ancient roots has the same trends as Western cultures, and
that great opportunities for work, intelligence and imagination.
