trine 10 all nations as suggested by

Jorge Mitre. editor OF La Nacion,
South Americas leading newspaper.
Mitre Ia recognized as one OF tho
most brilliant of South American
analysts and publicists.
I'm h past" the editorial said,
the tendency OF the doctrine has been
to maintain and strengthen the de-
mocracy OF the Americas by keeping
them apart from the ambitions OF
European powers. Because It has
been concretely based on Il geograph-
zeal fact, God knows how many APP
pcttcs Il has thwarted.
"A real alliance could not have been
more effective. Probably South Amer
lea has not fallen into European
hands simply because OF the doctrine.
But II II Is 'universalized' the princl-
pie is bound to lose It's American force
