John Barrett'S Prediction
of Hostility to America
by European BeI|iuerents

| Both victor and yanquished in the
European war will be hostile to America
at the close of hostilties,' declared John
Barrett, secretary general of the second
Pan-American Scientific Congress- and
director general of the Pan-American
Union. in an address before the meeting
i, of the educational conference for foreign
training service. held at the Pan-Ameri-
can building today. In the course of his
address he put into definite expression
the general belief of those who are in
close touch with the congress- that as a
result OF this gathering of the Americas
any trespasser upon the rights of one of
the republics of the American continent
must be ready TO deal with the others
His address was regarded as a chord
struck upon the basis of Secretary Lam
sings keynote speech at the opening of
the congress-
The former" continued Mr. Barrett,
VIII say IT won in spite of the atti-
tude of the United States and the other
american republics, and the latter will
say 1t lost because of the attitude of
lies"
In the minds and thoughts of every
pody interested in pan -Americanism is
the question: What is going to hap
pen TO pan America when this war is
there is the reply: The American re-
publics must stand together for the
eventualities that may possibly de-
velop. While every one would deplore
any agitation or suggestion that a Eu-
ropean nation group of European
nations, following this struggle should
undertake any territorial aggrandize-
ment in the western hemisphere, or in
any way take action that would con-
travene the Monroe doctrine it must be
borne in mind, and cannot be for a mo-
ment overlooked, that whatever way
this war results there may be little or
other nations which form pan-America.
Passion May Force Policy.
NO matter, therefore. how just and
fair the nations of America may have
been in their efforts to preserve their
neutrality and in no way interfere on
either side of this conflict, the war pas
sions and the war power of the peoples
and the governments of the victorious
group of nations may force a policy
toward pan-Americanism, toward the
lationship with individual countries of
the western hemisphere which will
demand absolute solidarity of action
on the part of the American republics
to preserve their very integrity
''ln the light of this terrible though
regrettable possibility one supreme
thought stands out, and that is: If
foreign foe were to succeed in destroy
ing the sovereignty of the United
States it would only be question of
time when that foe would destroy the
sovereignty of every other American
republic. In turn. there is no doubt
whatever that if any foreign foe ever
succeeded in extending it's dominion
over a considerable part of Latin
America, and If the nations of Latin
America should become dependencies, 1t
would inevitably follow that the United
states would meet the same fate be-
cause no foreign foe could achieve such

Congress May Take a Hand
in Negotiations With Austria
When 1t Meets Next Week

When Congress meets next week the
sentiment in favor of having that body
consulted by the administration before
any steps are taken toward breaking
off diplomatic relations with Austria
because of the Ancona incident-should
any such steps be in contemplation
may bring about affirmative action
it was said today.
This sentiment is perhaps more
strongly developed among the demo-
cratic members of the Senate than
among the republicans at present One
of. the democratic leaders, discussing
the matter today, e~ressed strong dis
approval of the attitude of the ad-
ministration toward Austria and Ger
many, while at the same time 1t was
taking a weak course toward the
allies.
..If we are going to be neutral, let's
he neutral toward all alike" said this
senator. 1T certainly seems to me that
the course of the administration has
been pro-ally up to the present
Other democrats expressed the same
opinion The feeling exists that if dip
lomatic relations are broken off with
Austria. there would be very mar
row margin between the tnen existing
conditions and actual war between the
United States and that country. This
being so, members of the Senate feel
that the administration should consult
Congress before il takes this step.
From another source II was learned
that persons close to the admin tstra =
lion had been feeling out members of
Congress as to whether the whole mat
ter should be submitted to Congress
before diplomatic relations were broke en-
off, One member of the foreign rela-
tions committee of the Senate. a repub-
Ilican, expressed the opinion that the
matter of severing diplomatic rela-
tions, however, was a matter entirely
within the Jurisdiction of the executive
department., that the breaking off of
diplomatic relations did not necessar-
lily mean war and that it should be left
to- the executive.

First Step Taken to Unity
international Laws Which
Govern Acts of Americas

When the history of the present con-
ference of the savants of the Americas
ia properly written it is probable that
the authorities of the future will agree
that in the first meeting of the newly
organized Pan-American Institute OF
International Law in the Pan-Amer-
lean Union building today. the first
formal step was taken to unity the
opinions of the western hemisphere on
all subjects of international law ana
subjects of international dispute.
Although the meeting. far from i'm
pressiye from a spectacular point OF
view. was held in one of the smaller
rooms of the building, it represented
the hard work of many great American
iurists who for years have been en-
deavoring to bring together the Wisest
men in international law in all the
western world. Chiefly is credit given
at the meeting this morning, and when
Robert Bacon, Elihu Root and James
Brown Scott, all OF whom were Present
at the meeting this morning, and when
all is said and done, If the dreams OF
these men come true, they Will nave
solidified the opinion of pan America,
to be used as unit in the world vote
on all questions of international law
The meeting today was more or less
informal, and the discussions when
took place in French, Spanish, Portu-
guese and English were for the most
part on subjects connected with pos
sible plans of organization. The
names of the men of the various south
and central American republics, who
will compose the institute were read
to the meeting; and it was agreed that
meetings should be held from time to
time ii great cities of the various
countries.
Not an Official Body.
1t was explained that the institute
ia not an official body. AS Mr.. Root
said:
IAN official body would move too
would do nothing.
This is true because the representatives
would make no move on any subject
until they had communicated with their
home governments slow process.
Whereas with a body of unofficials, ex-
pert in the questions uppermost, opin-
ions will be expressed. and then it will
be that the institute will endeayor to
impress all the governments OF pam
America with the Importance and ne
cessity of standing solidly behind these
of the rules and princi-
ples of international law, and hold fast
to those opinions against all the
world"
"F'or example, Mr.. Root?"
"The easiest example Is the doctrine
of expatriation. Some European coun-
tries have never accepted the doctrine
that one of their nationals can come
to a country of the western hemis-
nbare and become a naturalized citi-
zen under a republic, with no claim
on his native land, and his native land
with no claim on him. That would be
a matter on which the institute could
r,ant and make recommendations, and
;mnress the world with its unanimity."
How about the Monroe doctrine?"
Question of Policy.
"The Monroe doctrine can never be
the subject of discussions by the in
