Good morning Friends. This is Howard Pyle reporting for the Valley
National Bank to the people of Arizona, directly from the United Nations
conference in san Francisco. Those of you who heard on 9 30 to 10
broadcast last night, may remember that Near the close of the program, I
mentioned a Captain Kessler. Well, I met yesterday afternoon during my
tour of the great Mare Island Naval Hospital, where Captain Joseph Madison
Greer of our own state is the Chief of surgery. Well, Captain Kessler is
quite a storyteller. And on hearing that I was associated with the Valley
National Bank, he told me this one. Some mutual friend of his and a
certain prominent banker called on the penance here of his acquaintance
one morning, just as the bankers telephone rang, the conversation went,
something like this. No, no, no,
yes, no. And bang! Went the bankers telephone, naturally. The friend was
curious, So he asked what in the world could have prompted such a clipped
conversations. The bankers answer was, it was a guy wanting to borrow some
money. The visitor still wasn't quite satisfied. Well, said he, that makes
it easy to understand the No, no, no, but How come that one year? Oh! Said
the banker, you wanted to know if I could hear him
now? This little story gave me a very good laugh and an excellent
opportunity to remind dr or Captain Kessler. But I was positive that the
banker in this case was not a member of the staff of Arizona's Valley
National Bank. Friends. Mr walter. Benson and his able associates are
anxious that you feel no hesitation on the subject of requesting loans
where you are faced with projects that deserve financing.
Ally Bank believes in Arizona and in the sincerity of those who are
anxious to strengthen the backbone of Arizona business with solid cash
backing, you can feel completely at ease on any contact you may want to
make on the subject of loans When you are approaching anyone of the 20
friendly, convenient Arizona offices of the Valley National Bank don't
delay your call to do so. Might prevent your realizing an advantage that
would give your business the benefit of some particularly profitable deal
that may be pending right now. Remember no matter where you are in Arizona
, there's a branch of the Valley National Bank within easy reach.
You show the last time we met was in New York City just exactly two years
ago. Next week. I remember that I attended church services in New York
City two years ago. Next week at the riverside church. What brings you to
san Francisco howard? I'm down with a crew of latin american announces to
give radio coverage to the conference of the latin american countries
friends. I don't know whether all of you know, Musto Delgado or not and
send some of you may not let me introduce him to you. About three years
ago, this young man traveled from the Arizona broadcasting station Ky CIA
Prescott, where he was manager to a new york city and became associated
with nelson Rockefeller and the office of inter american affair. You many
of you will remember jimmy Chrisman who is also a part of the valley Banks
past as far as radio is concerned very prominently so and Mr Delgado left
Arizona in february to join Mr Rockefeller and jimmy Chrisman followed the
following november which released him from the Valley Bank News, which was
at that time an evening feature familiar to all of you. Jimmy presently is
with the reactivated 42nd division, the old Rainbow Division somewhere in
France doing very nicely according to all the communicates we have from
him and today his compadre of those earlier days three years ago is here
in this studio visiting with me about the san Francisco conference. A lot
of things have gone under the bridge water and what have you show since
you first left Arizona. Yes, I left Arizona in the very darkest days of
the war when the Department of the Office of Inter american Affairs was
just getting started on one of the pioneer members of that organization
now and one of the very best things that has happened of course the steady
improvement of inter american relations and also that now the dark days of
the war are gone. All of which I think brings us right up to the most
current question that we could introduce here this morning. And that is
the decision of the conference to take up the matter of argentine
representation. Who is carrying the brunt of that leadership
when to carry the brunt. I think the latin american nations themselves are
carrying the brunt. Um that of course our own country being one of the
nations of Western Hemisphere that uh last last month at Mexico City uh
signed the Act of chapultepec together in a latin american countries in
which the Western Hemisphere pledged all its cooperation for a world
organization and certain hmm well limitations they were imposed upon
Argentina if she wanted to join the group as a member of the Hemisphere
Group of the World Organization, of course, Argentina declared war on the
axis powers. And she signed the Act of chapultepec And of course, uh from
that standpoint, the nations of the Western Hemisphere feels she is
entitled to membership in the World Organization. So the nations of the
Western Hemisphere, I think carrying the brunt in in seeking an invitation
Argentina to the World Organization, I think the morning newspapers here
in san Francisco referred to Mr Rockefeller as having been interested to
rather Vitaly Yes, of course, as Assistant Secretary of State in charge of
inter american affairs, he would for our country be vitally interested in
such propositions. Have you seen any representatives of Argentina here in
san Francisco since you came. No, I haven't not official representatives
of the government. There are quite a few Argentine newspaper men here
covering the conference. But I have not seen any official representatives
understand in more or less private meetings that were held yesterday
afternoon that mr mullet hall shoved in the polish question again, when he
was approached on the subject of recognizing Argentina. Yeah. Do you think
they will arrive at a decision before the conference is over on Argentina
? I don't know. I think that there are many compromises to be made out of
this conference before all the bricks fall into place and that may be one
of them. What do you think about the attitude of people in the United
States? That is the layman in the street, for example, Arizonans who have
a great problem in the matter of beef. Argentine beef having constantly
been paraded across the foreground of their consciousness during recent
years with the result that may or may be not, they don't feel too happy
about the prospect of too close relations with Argentina. Could that be
true? Well, that probably the whole economic question, of course was tied
up with it unquestionably. But we must remember in thinking of Argentina
as a future food basket, not so much for us, but for the devastated areas
of the world and the people of europe. I mean, you just can't let them
starve for the people of Asia and a lot of that Argentine beef would have
come in very, very fine. Well, don't you think though, that that beef
would get generous distribution without necessarily tying them into
closely with our own trade relations? Well, I'm sure that that will be
taken into account by our own department of State and such and such
obligations that we have to our own industries. In other words, you don't
look for any letting down completely of the bars so that Argentine
products can be fed in here. You see as you well know, Argentina produces
approximately the same identical items that we produce in Arizona. Yes, so
quite naturally the agricultural classes and others too, for that matter
in our state are not necessarily terribly disturbed, but vitally
interested in what does happen down in Argentina. Yes, I know. But uh, I I
would feel that the complete question of Argentina's membership in any
world organization to be the science of membership of any other nation.
There are many countries in the world that compete with some products. Of
course when you use the word competition. Well then the best wins out
naturally. Well, do you think the political situation in Argentina is
sufficiently leveled off and stable to be regarded as admissible to our
present community of nations? Of course, I'm not a student of political
affairs. Howard as you well know. But uh, on, on the news available, it
presents a completely confusing picture. You see politics down there, not
run very much like ours and off and out of a welter of confusion will
spring up. A leader who has been very active all the time. And uh, we
haven't been able to see him for the smoke and the fire. So we cannot tell
just from news accounts what is going on down there.
You think the latin american political situation generally and associated
with that, the feeling of unanimity towards the United Nations program is
uh, to be admired and welcomed. Oh, unquestionably Senator Austin for
instance, the Foreign Relations Committee and the speech for Congress
after the Mexico city conference called in one of the great steps in in
the human Organization. The he was referring specifically at this time to
the inter american conference in Mexico.
Well, thank you very much Mucho, it's good to know that someone who has a
direct contact with the latin american situation is optimistic. Are you
optimistic about the conference incidentally? About the conference overall
program? Yes. I think that when anybody of men, especially heads of
Nations, get up before before an assembly and the Lord Human Liberty, no
matter what it would be true or not, The important thing is not what
happens to make the people aware of what might happen. So I think it is
very encouraging. Perhaps the word of greeting to your friends in Arizona
wouldn't be out of place right here. So we have 30 seconds. Well, I have
been greeting them and all these minutes that we've been speaking that it
had been greeting them from the heart. Thank you very much. You're
certainly welcome friends. I'll repeat. For those of you may have tuned in
late lucio Delgado, formally associated with radio in Arizona through K. Y
CIA and Prescott. And now with the office of inter american affairs in new
york, is attending the United Nations conference as an official
representative of that group lucIO. You're joining us for this broadcast
this morning, gives the second week of this series a very happy send off
thanks to you personally and professionally. And now if nothing happens to
alter our plans, Mr HB Colton born will be our second guest for the week.
Carlton born has promised to be with us tomorrow morning. If some
tremendous breaking the news which are all anticipating, doesn't tie him
up so he can't possibly make it also before the week passes, I'm going to
give you some of my impressions of the incomparable Mayor Island Hospital
in Navy yard, which the unfailing graciousness of Captain and mrs joseph
Madison Breer made it possible for me to visit yesterday. I met an hours
on a boy whose name you'll want to know. In fact, I'll tell you now
because it wouldn't be fair to make you wait. It was Bill beaten B. E A T
. O N, whom I believe graduated from north phoenix high school in either
1938 or 39. But

transcribed announcement margie says if biscuits could talk, they'd say
make me and serve me with turkey's choco margarine, it's delicious. Yes.
Durkee stroke margarine is so mild, so sweet, so country fresh and flavor.
It adds real taste appeal. Makes all biscuits twice as good for a real
biscuit treat used turkey's choco margarine.
