INTER...AMERICAN BALANCE SHEET
By Edgar Ansel Mowrer
Mexico rams By the time this column sees the light, the Inter.
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?

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.
So much for several principal questions of this conference,* Those
remaining, organization of the Pan.American union economic assistance
and the problem of Argentina, Canada and Spain, will be disoueeed in

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.

agree to the erection of oountless noir barriers to the free movement
of goods.
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.

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. S,
reluctance to ruJ Londonla far the wrong war by encouraging Canada to
emancipate itself further from Britain, Yet the question dT Canada
its sure tn bob up agains for without Canada no American regional system

Your Ref:
Our Ret:
Dear Colonel Donovan,
Bill, in New York, has sent me a copy of a letter from
Drumm of the National City Bank of New York, Rio de Janeiro
to Mr.Hoffman, Assistant Vice President of the Bank in New York:
This refers to an alleged delay in the receipt of a confidential
report dated the 14th of August last.
I was interested to receive this letter, which was
brought over by one of Bill's emissaries during the last few
days.
It relates to precisely the same matter that you were
good enough to mention to me when I had the pleasure of lunching
with you in Washington. You will remember then that you sug-

City Bank, because that gentleman was convinced that there had
been a leakage of his Bank's business secrets through the copying?
by photodtat, or other means, of their correspondelice at our
Censorship Station at Trinidad. You will, perhaps, for-
give my adding that I rather felt from your manner that you were
inclined to think there was a good deal in what Mr.Rentschler
said. If I am wrong in this please accept my apologies.
However, when I was in New York, shortly afterwards,
I did go and see Mr.Rentschler. He had three complaints to
make: the first with regard to general delays owing to Trinidad
cenaorship- second that letters to British Banks which were 4
competition with the New York Banks, receive preffiritial
merit; and third - this matter of the leakage of informatiO'
As to the first two matters, we had a very full:

as much for Departments of the United States Government
as for anyone else, and I am anxious that its work should
proceed with as little friction as possible.
With kind regards,
iours sincerely,
