Certain Latin Americans have
wished that the Pan-American Union
might become with the American Re
publics what the Council of the
League of Nations Is to it's associated
members. The idea of an America n
League Of Nations has had support of
the United States also, even by Presi-
dent Wilson and Col. House in 1914
and 1915. Their plan called for n
rather loose association of states to
guarantee mutually territorial integ.
ritv and political independence. The
plan also provided for the amicable
settlement of international disputes
by means of permanent international
commissions for investigation or by
arbitration. At that time there was
decided opposition on the part of
Chile and President Wilson later be.
