proposal on the uniformity of armaments in the (Jester" Horaishpere et. iting that
it represents (the culmination of the process of interference and doninatioa of
Yankee financial capital on the life of our nations and this truth cannot be
concealed b-? any reference made in the message regarding-world peace-, nor by
the presentation of the problem in terans of a close collaboration of'the American
Republics--, when in truth it is not a question of collaboration but of the most
complete subjugation to the dictates of the United States General Staff.'
"The paper concluders by stating that 'the reactionary aims of the plan have been
denounced by Sonator Pepper and the difi'icultios of its application have been pointed
out by the authoritative IdASHINC OIT POST. It is up to the peoples of Latin :,erica
to divulge the nature of the Truman Plan and to mobilize public opinion so that the
diff; u ties wrought up by the ITort? American paper are made insoluble."
