Uruguay and various other
American countries understand the

but some OF the other nations show
an evidence of distrust OF the real
intention OF the United States con-
cerning Central and South Ameri-
can republics.
There are tendencies in some Of
these countries TO pursue a counter
policy. which has taken expression
by the suggestion OF forming a pure

heart IL is based upon the equal
ity Of responsibility on the part OF
all American republics. and under It
each would agree TO defend any OF
its fellow members OF the league
against foreign aggression. The
foundation of the proposed league
would be a declaration by each ma
ton Of adherence TO the Monroe
Doctrine which would place all on
an equal and reciprocal basis In the
matter Of its enforcement.
DR.. Brum said that he has re-
ceived official manifestations OF sup
port Of his Pan-American doctrine
from Bolivia and Peru, and unofficial
approval from the statesmen of 9TH
er South American nations. No op-
position to il has been expressed by
any government, and ne had a pro-
found hope that some day il would
result in the formation OF such a
league among all the American re-
publics.
