Kind and sincere welcome extended by

GERMAN COMMENT Is MINED.
Some Editorial Remarks on the Congress
and Olney Doctrine.


and Olney Doctrine.
Berlin, Oct. 2S-The Pan-American
congress at the City of Mexico has
caused much press discussion here, the
general tone of which is belittling and
sleptical of its success. 1t is inter-
preted as being n scheme of the Unit
ed States to increase its influence over
Latin America. An alliance between
the United States and the latter is re-
garded as chimerical. owing to the
racial differences. the only connection
between them being pronounced to he
merely geographical. Therefore" says
the Berliner NeueSte NachchriSten.
''Fan-Americanism is more lacking in
a practical basis than Pan-Slavism."
The paper continues: The Pan
American idea is solely capable of de-
velopment upon the basis of the sub
lection of all America TO the begemOny
Of the United States. The republics of
Anglo-S Saxon and Latina merica differ
so greatly respecting territorial condi-
tiOns and the composition of the popu-
lations that closer union is only con-
ceivable upon the pre-suppOsitiOn of =
decisive predominance of the United
States"
DIR. Hans Wagner discusses the sub
.iect at length in Der Tag. He says
the Monroe doctrine no longer means
America for Americans. but for North
Americans. DR.. Wagner hopes for an
international commission which viii
prepare a well-merited grave for the
beautiful Monroe phrase The Co
lCnge Nolks ZeitunS calls this Utopian.
and also regards DR.. Wagner as being
wrong in thinking President Roosevelt
intends to adopt Il harsher policy to-
wards Great Britain. since the latter
has already conceded all that the Unit
cd Stat : wants.
The Cologne Nolks Zeitupg refers to
alleged attempts in United States
newspapers to create an anti-German
sentiment by the assertion that Get
many wants to establish colonies in
South America. admitting that the
Pan-German newspapers have given
abundant cause therefor. The paper
claSSifcS the whole idea as bein:
among the most splendid of castles
built i'm the air.
The Cologne NOlks Zeitung also says
it will bet 100 to L that suspicious will
be cast upon Germany's policy because
she has decided to establish an infor-
nation bureau in Berlin for emigrants.
