DIR. Enrique Molina, dean of the Uni
versity of Conception, Chile, last
night declared that South Americans
were skeptical of pan-Americanism
because il was an ideal corrup-
er by the commercial tendencies of
the United States. He also asserted
that pan-Americanism and the Monroe

side by side, as they were contradic-
tory, and that in fact the doctrine
was "a dead letter"

said DR.. Molina, does not count upon
the support of the masses of South
SAmerica. They view it with skepti-
fcism, because they see it as means
for the United States to dominate
the South American countries. They
feel deceived by it because of its
comm ercial aspects"

pired. 1t is a dead letter, while pan

The Chilean educator favored the
ideal of an Iberian- American Union,
