Both Winner
And Loser viii
Blame the Il. s.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31-The
United States will be blamed for the
loss of the European war and the
successful nations will claim that
they won in spite Of the United
States, Director Gen. John Barrett
declared today before the education
al section of the Pan-American
scientific congress.
All America must be prepared to
resist European nations in this hem
isphere. once the present war is
settled, he said. Barrett backed up
the suggested plan for a Pan-Amer-
lean military and naval organiza-
ton by the statement that aggres-
sion and violation of the Monroe
Doctrine the nations of this hemis-
phere must present a solid front, in
order to preserve their integrity.
IF a foreign foe were 10 destroy
the integrity of the United States"
said Mr.. Barrett. lit would be only a
question of time when that foe
would also destroy the sovereignty
Of every other American republic.
In turn there is no doubt what
ever that if any foreign foe ever
succeeded in extending its dominion
over considerable part of Latin
America and if the nations of Latin
America should become dependen-
cies. it would inevitably follow that
the United States would meet the
same fate because no foreign foe
could achieve such a result except
by victory over the United States"
