Anal conclusion arrived at by the naSdiators at Niagara Falls. not only that the Mexican question may bu
 settled but they are anxious to know
 if the initial steps which have been
 taken sowa1ds the formation of a concert of powers among the strong
 American republics is possible at this
 time. It has been urged for some
 time that a new American policy was
 necessary to meet the changed ana
 improved conditions which have so
 rapidly been brought about by the
 strong and stable republics of South
 South America.
 President Wilson has taken a step
 toward putting into practical effect
 this idea The formation of . con
 cert of America by the strong. stable
 government of this hemisphere, which
 will labor for the peace of America. as
 the concert of Europe labors for the
 peace of that continent would in t . self constitute . pledSe that any in
 terference in the affairs of a troubled
 state such ss Mexico. was to promote
 its sood and not for agrandizement
 of any of the mediating powers. The suspicion which has grown among
 the South Amercian republics that our
 motives in recognizing the republic Q.
 Panama and interfering in Cuba, Santa Domingo and Mexico were were for selfish purposes and for self agrandixement would bs allaysd if nor
 totally dispelled. 1t would free uS from the charge that under the suise of friend. who sought only benevo- lent purposes, we are seeking to ex- tend our power over the weaker na- tions of this continent, and that we have distorted the Monroe doctrine, from. protection against foreign ag- gression. to make into . shield and pretext for aggression on the part ot the United Staes. All South American sta tesmen do not pretend that all danger of European aggression is en- tirely passed nor do they consider that the Monroe doctrine Is obsolete. but they do hold that some of the South American republics are strong enough to share with the United States In that doctrine. In brief they demand a new Monroe doctrine In which such countries as Brazil, Ar gentina and Chile, who no longer needs the paternal care of the United States, shall share the burdens of for selfish purposes and for self a democratic form of government in this hemisphere.
 The admission of these powers to a partnership in the task which this country has set its hands would pos. sible diminish our political prestage but the beneficial results which would come by promoting a mutual confi- ience and friendship with the south ern republics, who would become our allies. and which should remove any groung for suspicion as to the dis. of our motives would be a full comparison for such loss. The advantages of a concert of Am- erica, composed Of the A. B. c. ale lance would have the advantage of .selcting the United States in looking 1t the Latin American problem from tLe Latin point of view. which We nave not always done. We have cs' abolished standard and are mentally of putting ourselves in a Latin nations place and viewing af- ssirs as 1t does. Had . concert of America existed at the time Madsro Has 6eposed the subsequent horrors would never have been enacted and he present danger of war with Mex leo might have been averted. AS allies .hese South American republics would 10 all such questions e better under of the affairs of the Latin states and the character of it's people. and would not have ignored the char acter of the. people and attempt the as did the administration.
