I pened to lend Admiral Vogelsang
and about forty other experts to
Brazil, to help the latter carry out
her naval program, considering the
interest Washington has expressed in
armament Limitation, too.
Some newspapers seem to consider
the peace pact Washington has just
induced the Central American repub-
lies to enter into as a happy augury
for the Pan-American Congress.
This is a mistake.
The South and Central Americans
! are not alike at all. The former, who
are mainly Spanish, Italian and
Portuguese, regard the latter as not
! much better than ignorant Indians.
They even resent the agreements
they make among themselves under
North American auspices, so that, If
anything, they hurt rather than help.
The midget South American re-
public of Uruguay does, indeed, favor
a League of American Nations, and
she favors it, too, because h be-
lieves, by doing so, she's pleasing
the United States. But her reason is
that she wants North American
backing in a long-standing dispute
she has with Argentina concerning
control of the mouth of the River
Plate. This doesn't win the idea
much support among the Argentines.
