American onference on problems of war and peace here in this high sunny capital will be overt or just about. This is an attempt to set down objectively just what has been achieved and what has failed to'rcome off; for behind the inevitable big words and official bally- hoo there is no doubt that participants and observers here divide sharply into bulls and bears. To the bulls, to which group this writ. or belongs, the conference has been a great success: To the bears it Is just one more dismal failure. Naturally, it all depends on what you expected to happen, Let us take up the debated questions one by one. 1. To what extent has the Mexieo City Conference transformed the Fan-American world into a model regional security system, ready to be integrated into the universal security system that is expected to emerge from the coming United Nations Conference at San Francisco? Answer; As far as was desirable now. The Act of Chapultepeo gives every American nation full security against aggression so long as the present war is continuing. For the poet-war period this act will, if Its recommendations are embodied in a treaty with mAndatory sanctions and accepted by the American Senate, provide ample regional seouritya But until the position of all regional oecurity systems is defined at San Francisco; no definitive post-war regional system could proper. ly be created here. This has disappointed many Latin Americans and some members of the U. S. delegation who placed more faith in a strong regional system than in any world-wide neourity plan. It has pleased those who remember that the two vatastrophio wars of this generation iieve not been American in origin, Moreover, it is certain that were the San Francisco Conference to be disappointing, the Act of Chapultepeo could and would be widened out into an iron.clad system of American regional defense. 2. To what extent has the Mexico City Conference transformed and revived the obsolescent and unilntoral Monroe Dootrine? Senator Answer Completely. According tc/Tom Connally, the "principle first enunciated by the Monroe aoctrine hse been accepted by the family of American nations as a multilateral doctrine, Any attack upon one of the signatory nations must be regarded by all others as an act of aggression against them.n 3. To what extent were the aosires of the Latin American countries concerning the structures of the coming world organization discussed at Mexico City?

(132) =U. Answer4 They were not officially discussed. They were, hpwever, collected and boiled dawn and brought together into a 94.page memorandum ?hich is being sent to all the United Nations for consideration. Furm thermore, it wae made plain that at San Francisco every delegation will have full liberty to press for the acceptance of its amendments to the original Dumbarton Oaks proposals. 4* 1)008 this mean that the American nations will turn up at San Francisco as a bloc with a single program? Answer; To the contrary, mere will be no American block (this too has disappointed some Latin Americans and-some Uu S. Americans) for it is certain that after the President at Yalta stopped the further development of a Soviet bloc and a British bloc of nations, the appear., once of an Amerioan Woo wr countries at San Franoieco might have broken up that conference and prevented the formation of a real worldwide organizatttn. Here again, the whole is weightier than the parte 5, Are the Latin American nations satthfied with the announced voting procedure within the world.wide Security Counoil in metters conceivable involving the use of violence? Answer i Many of them are not. To these logical Latin minds the insistence on a great power's right to blook armed action against itself is the nullification of true law and the principle of the equality of states. They will accept this veto right, if they musteas a grave defeat which they must seek to eliminate with the passage of time.

Answer To the contrary. There will be no American blook (thie too heel disappointed some Latin Americans and -some U, So Americans) for it is certain that after the President at Yalta stopped the further development of a 5oviet bloc and a British bloc of nations' the appear. ance of an Amerioan bleu of countries at San Franoiesso might have brOien up that conference and prevented the fw,mation of a real world.wide organizattchas Here ogans the whole is weightier than the part? 8, Are the Latin Averican nations sattefied with the announced voting prooedure vathin the world.wide Seourity Council in matters ooneeivable involving the use of violence?

Mexico Cit g A. previous column contained comments on the more Lupo an Banes of the Interh?Amerloan Conference on Problems of War and Peace* Hers are some of the otherst aria U on? Answer& The Pan?-American Union is the ?leo:UW.6m of the inter.. American eystem. No one knows just what the intormAmerloan system: will look like after the coming United Natione Conference at San ? Francisco? Certainly it will be stronger, not weaker, than before If the San Francisco Conference is successful in setting up a World organization, then the inter?American system in going to become a regional organization under it. If which God forbiik the San Francisco Conference were to fall, the intereAmerican system would have to be otronger, for it would become the chief instrument of our seourity, Thus, in any case, the Pon American Union had to be enlarged and strengthened, even though it could not be given definitive form. MAELMILAson arran ements made satisfaotor to ever bad Answer To nobody. The question had to be deferred for turther discuesionr Briefly the situation is thls4 During the war, in order to obtain necessary War materials and to Insure the prosperity of our Latin American friends, the American govm ernment has been buying from the other republics at high price*. Present contraote are not going to be renewed indefinitely* Latin Americans have been fearful lest thereby the props be pulled from under their whole economic, structure. The United States cannot continue buying for a war that is over, Our delegation has, however, offered to ease off the let.down, In exp- change it has asked the Latin Americans to agree to a general reduction of tariffs and oertainly not to create any new trade barriers, This last request caused an uproar in Latin American aro leen For these countries now believe that only rapid industrialization can raise them from the ?oolonial misery" in which their masses have been living. On this point, Mexican capitalists are in full agreement with trade union leadere like Lombardo Zoledanoo U. S, Americans, however, want a gradual planned reduction of tariff. If .. our delegation argued sarcastically Lsttn Americans wish to manufacture motoroars in Guatemala, then Wisy should rot the United States raise bananas under Kase in Florida.

It was agreed at Mexico City to postpone drafting the "economic charter of the Americas." Answer; Many of the Latin American republics at Mexico City wanted the Argentine situation exhauotively discusse. Yet the Us $o WI. other things to do than spend days or weeks discussing the finer shadi..0 ot Argentine megalomania, fascism and plans for conquest. By the Act of Chapultepeo, the American government allayed the fears of Argentinals neighbor, by a military guarantee of proteotAon so long as the present war pg going on. Before peace() comes the ban Priam elect) Gonference will be finiehed and a treaty presented for ratitioartion to the American Senate containing provisions for complete guarantees of territorial integrity in the Western hemisphere. For the rest, althouelh there has been talk of an "invitation" to the ArNentine people to return to the American oomity of nations, the truth is that until the Argentine government has declared war on the Axis and ratified without reservations the Act of Chapultepeos the American nations have no further time to wasteen Argentina. IRMILAIVILLCana410 Answer: The V, 8, is se yet unwilling to consider the admission of Canada t6 the PanpAmerioan Unions The reasons are* Pan*.Amerioan preference for the republican form of government; U. S. unwillingness #0 allow poseiblo British influenoe to creep In through Canada; U.
