Pasadena Appointed to Host
International Club Committee
At the Pacific Coast regional
conference of International Rela¬
tions Clubs held in San Francisco
last weekend, Pasadena City Col¬
lege was appointed to host a com¬
mittee to study the problems of
IRC in junior colleges.
The conference was held No¬
vember 12 and 13 at San Francis¬
co College for Women. Represent¬
ing PCC’s International Relations
Club were Arturo Hernandez,
president; Katherine Howell, sec¬
retary; and David Laidig, acting
chairman of the PCC Model Unit¬
ed Nations delegation.
LOUIS MULKERN, vice-presi¬
dent of the Bank of America in
charge of Asian affairs, spoke at
a banquet Friday night on “Amer¬
ican Aid to Asia.”
“Businessmen are in Asia to
make a profit,” stated Mulkern.
He clarified this statement later
in the discussion session follow¬
ing his speech by stating that we
are interested in free trade rather
than forcing our way of life on
others. According to Mulkern,
our policy is to develop unstable
countries through trade so that
there will be a world in which our
values will be able to survive.

the problems and recommending
implementations of the policy.
