THINKS LATIN AMERICA

Replying to numerous questions about

Replying to numerous questions about
the attitude of the Latin American re-
pubiics in the present situation, John
Barrett. director of the Pan-American
Union. the central Office of all the inde-
pendent American nations. said:
Speaking unofficially, but basing my
opinion on absolutely reliable data. the
public sentiment of Latin America as a
whole is overwhelmingly with the
United States. Unfortunately. there is
much unwarranted misunderstanding
and considerable unfair criticism of
some of the Latin American countries
g to where they stand. With very few
exceptions. the press of Latin America
has been consistently pro-ally since the
outbreak of the European war, and
now it's attitude is equally pro-Ameri-
can in the issues at stake. Not sin
gle great Latin American newspaper is
anti-ally or anti-United States. The
predominating Latin American love of
France alone makes Latin Americans
pro-ally. despite all the influence Ger
many may have through business con-
nections

Sentiment Pro-American.

"In nearly every Latin American cap
itaI and large city the public demon
strations have been almost invariably
pro-ally. and, since the break of the
United States with Germany. pro-Amer-
lean. There have been practically no
pro-German demonstrations anywhere,
even in the so-called German sections.
'In one or two countries where il
has been reported that the government
might be slow in showing sympathy
with the United States the expressed
public sentiment has been in favor of
this country and President Wilson.
Just because Latin American govern
ment does not Immediately break with
or declare war against Germany and
follow the United States is no argu-
ment that Latin America is divided in
it's support. and that pan -Americanism
is not standing the test. Pan-American
solidarity is based on great underly-
ing public opinion, and that undenia-
bly, is with the United States.
SAYS Criticism Is Unfair.
'"The United States. joined to Eng
land and France with closer ties of
actual blood and friendship than are
the Latin American countries Joined to
this country. waited nearly three years
before it entered the European war. 1t
is, therefore, not fair to condemn any
Latin American country because, after
only q few days have elapsed since war
has been recognized and before any
overt act has been committed against
that country it has not actually broken
with the enemy of the United States.
Latin America. as a group of twenty
nations, is all right in this conflict and
can be counted upon to do her part as
may be necessary either in actual var
or in strict and justified neutrality"
