uatic corps show Il mark ID divergence
OF opinion.

pcrtamt South American nations char
a"teiiZes the address as Il document
that VIII i'll time come To be regarded
by the world as a most practical, rather
than 81 most ideaiisiic. Of state pers.
IL was said at the State Department
to-day that no official definition III the
attitude OF Fan American goveynments
had been received. although the sub-
jo"r has been informally discussed by
Secretary Lansing with few Of the
diplomats.
II was indicated that most or tho
South American governments feel deep
sympathy with the Presidents efforts.
